Welcome to my Javascript Linrodeth Not-a-Roguelike
You've recently become a master painter and have managed to buy a small property in the ward of Oldgate which you've setup
as a small shop and business. As you're a guildmember and property owner, you're now an elector for Oldgate. You've seen that the
best way to help yourself get rich (or, at least, not end up in so much debt to the goldsmiths that you're just working for them),
is to get involved in politics.
Can you become the alderman for Oldgate?
