the sharp / the sweet

Someone of Importance (A 35XP Orange Quest)

You're trying to take charge of things.

It could be something less formal, like your car club or your knitting circle; it might also be a big deal like a vestry position or a spot on the Town Council. You've got ideas about how things should be run around here, and no one will do it as well as you, you're sure!

If you're going to win, though, you're going to have to promise people a lot of things, and decide which of those promises you actually can (or want to) keep.

Major Goals:

The HG can award you 5 XP towards this quest when you:

[ ] Make a speech to an assembled group declaring your intention for what you'll do, if you achieve the position you seek.
[ ] Decorate for a major event or celebration.
[ ] Receive a proposal for (or propose yourself) an exchange of favors, if you're to achieve the position you're seeking.
[ ] Get into a heated debate about policy or social values.

You can earn each bonus once, for a total of 20 XP.

  • Share or receive a piece of petty gossip.
  • Make a superficial (or even genuine) demonstration of local spirit.
  • Make a promise to someone for their support.
