Political Influence, Winter 1719

Announcements
1

The below are the political influence totals following our winter event, 1718. These are the values you will use to submit any political influence bgs - not your Well-Regarded (Socialite) score. Keep in mind that these numbers are modified from your raw Socialite ranks by a number of factors that you can control during game (and that other Socialites may explain to you if you missed it). Political Influence, not Socialite, is your actual BGS skills, and Well-Regarded can only influence it, not dictate it.

The below list is public because it is fairly impossible to hide your level of influence, at least not without training.

Hi all! Quick explainer for those who are new to having PI (or who need a refresher)

Political Influence (PI) is our system to quantify an abstract phenomenon in society. These points represent what people think of you and how likely they are to listen to you and your ideas. Influence represents your ability to persuade others socially. PI can be spent individually, or a group can come together to pool points toward a common goal (on a very large scale, this might look like a protest march irl).

“PI” or “Influence” is the points that can be spent this way. These Influence points can be something your character inherently has, if they are Well Regarded. Any character can become more influential if they are given points by another- this is a skill that socialites have. Some socialites are skilled enough to temporarily reduce another person’s influence.

PI is awarded based on the previous event a character attended (Winter 1719 PI is spent during the Spring 1720 cycle). Please title BGS entries with PI, Influence, or Political Influence so that staff can easily identify and assign them. Please include the number of Influence points in the body of your BGS so we know what you’re spending. PLEASE split apart Influence used toward different goals into different entries (e.g. “3 points of influence to encourage the formation of workers’ rights associations” and “1 point of influence to write a letter to the head of the Pitball League and get them to actually read it”). When these are split, we can assign the BGS to separate staffers as necessary, and ensures we answer all parts of your entry. Influence points do not persist between games. They are generated new every time.
