Hello everyone, Mage of Light Nick Card here. Summer is in full swing and so are things happing in it!
Scarab City election results
Very recently, the first election in Scarab city has concluded, with a wide swath of representatives from the three districts taking up council seats together. Here are the results from NABCN:
North-West District (4 seats):
- "Highblood Traditionalists" get 2 seats - Highbloods mostly live here.
- "Clown Party" get 1 seat - Campaign leader Croola Visbea.
- "Rust Majority" get 1 seat - For lowblood servants there, other options were apparently too soft.
Central District (7 seats):
- "Reformer Alliance" get 3 seats - Underperforming expectations.
- "Rust Majority" get 1 seat - An appetite to turn the tables?
- "Followers of the Sufferer" get 1 seat - Either uptick in religion or people being more open about it.
- "Highblood Traditionalists" get 1 seat - Suspicions of manipulation, but can't be proven.
- "Clown Party" get 1 seat - Maekyr Oneroi manages a surprise win.
South-East District (6 seats):
- "Reformer Alliance" get 4 seats - Due to the local campaign of Zaizzi Urziah.
- "Followers of the Sufferer" get 1 seat - Similar level of support as in Central.
- Independent candidates gets 1 seat. - A duo who claim they will share their single seat.
Final local government/council composition (17 members):
- Reformer Alliance - 7 seats.
- Highblood Traditionalists - 3 seats.
- Rust Majority - 2 seats.
- Clown Party - 2 seats.
- Followers of the Sufferer - 2 seats.
- Independents - 1 seat.
Public analysis has speculated that while the Reformer alliance is in the majority, their lack of unified focus on what exactly to aim for will hamper their ability to agree upon policy, likely necessitating cooperation from other groups to enact meaningful change in this new age of governance for the first Neo Alternian city.
Word on what may happen to mayor Arioha Ximarm is still unknown and likely something up for debate by the council soon.
Construction Mystery
Earlier this week, Train Fiend Skye called upon a number of individuals to lend their construction prowess towards accelerating the construction of new tunnel tubes connecting to the new and improved section near Charcherry North.
Two in particular answered the call: Heir of Time Rise Emit (who has prior manual construction experience) and rogue of heart Charles (who has sburban server build gloves and ample experience using them for building projects). The three of them descended into the tunnels together, working to give form to a small section of an otherwise empty realm. While Rise performed minimal physical labor, they still managed to prove integral to keeping contact with Charles, after they had managed to go missing for a short amount of time, possibly even in a different dimension. Charles had apparently been building tube sections so fast that they had managed to reportedly enter a speed-activated portal. Relaying reports received from across The Heart Container Network, Rise was able to assuage any worries regarding Charles's whereabouts. Charles used a known method to return to the train tunnel and the party soon took a trolley back to the closest station, committing to documenting the anomaly that they had witnessed.
Until the mystery is understood enough to work with, trains will be detoured around the site, to avoid any unfortunate train disappearances.
Pokedex Scramble!
Very recently, the pokedex database network has reportedly been producing curious errors, due to scrambled data from a flash drive containing approximately 12 videogames. To unscramble this data, Denizen Euphrosyne has enacted the Archipelago protocol, which will require willing volunteers to once again play a variety of scrambled games in the Game Room.
Apparently this time, the game choice method has been made more robust, requiring participants to choose a secondary game, in addition to a primary game, to make sure that those who have their secondary as a primary can have backup in case the chosen game becomes too tiring to continue. However, it is important to note that for health reasons, two incomplete games should not be played back to back by a single participant within a twelve hour period.
Because of further complications (viruses infecting more data, requiring more games to be played beyond the original 12, as well as a fire emergency damaging a number of vr tubes), The initial meeting will be on July 11th, at the game room. Those from elsewhere who have their own ways to participate need not make the journey if impractical.
