Public Opinion Dice Rolls
Ah, the dreaded public opinion! You’ll need it to win, but it can be such a fickle thing… Welcome to the Public Opinion Dice Rolls! Below are a list of events. Quite like the Olympics Vaulting, your candidate will have the opportunity to win over the public, one event at a time. You’re welcome to actually write out your candidate going through these political events, or you can just post the dice rolls and your final completion.
You will have three chances to clear each event.
If your candidate is a newly bio’d character (as in, your candidate did not have a bio before the beginning of the 95th Mayoral Election) you will be granted an addition two events when you conclude your rolls. This means that if you clear the third event but fail the fourth, as a new candidate you would automatically clear the fourth and fifth as well.
You get three tries to clear each Public Opinion Event, with the odds getting worse for success each time. You will need to edit your post each time for multiple attempts / to add the next event. BE SURE TO LABEL YOUR EVENTS.
As of the 95th Election, the public opinion dice rolls are now worth a maximum of 5 points. Your results will be scaled. You have until Tuesday Jan 23rd to complete this event.

(This is the maximum points allowed for this event).
Every candidate will collect points from this event - there is no ranking of the winners, although certainly you’re welcome to sort that out IC. After everyone in your district has rolled, feel free to edit your post with your character's reaction if you so desire, but please keep it to one post rather than multiple.
There is no posting order within each District’s Public Opinion Rolls thread. When you post, please be sure to note somewhere if this is a new character. Thank you and good luck!
