Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

You definitely missed something.

I see your point and actions that have specific mentions of things to do could lead to it, though I have doubts about the effectiveness of it. Honestly I'm talking more about your specific note about studying the flowers which I don't think will do anything extra and feels a little like trying to game the system.
That and I think the fact the beacon isn't actually an option even though Velvet knows where it is says a lot about it.

What the f...

You know what, we will just use the good old "New Tally" option when the time comes to close the vote. The auto-setting system seems to be a bit bugged. I'll bring it up in user support.

Also, all this talk about Heart scraps makes me think how very tragic it will be if the Lebel 7 book you (try to) scry turns out to be a Heart book :V

Anyways. I don't see any pings so I won't get in your way.

Let's all assume the vote will close "Thursday night," and we can push it further ahead if people think it's needed. But I think we have a good rythm goin on so far.

I hope you are all doing well!
 
The Leash wouldn't even be needed, she can turn a stranger into a Close Friend with moderate effort, Acquaintance to Close Friend should be even easier.
Ehh. On one hand, I feel like Spoiled Rich was a bit of an unusual situation, considering how sycophantic she is generally. On the other hand, Mayor Mare is pretty invested in our opinion, so maybe that would be enough with Mareinette's social bullshit to skip a stage.

Either way, Mareinette should be at least able to get her to Friend. If she can get her to skip a stage, great, no Leash needed. If she can't, then it'll be free once we've gotten our Moth Sacrament to Leash Mayor Mare up to Close Friend before the end of the turn to avoid her doom.

Also, all this talk about Heart scraps makes me think how very tragic it will be if the Lebel 7 book you (try to) scry turns out to be a Heart book
It would be a bit annoying, but I wouldn't really feel bad about it. Getting a befriended Name is definitely more valuable than hitting Heart 4.
