Is it possible to get Pilcrow to accept the VP job?

Three walkthroughs full of shenanigans later, I must say that it’s incredibly fun for our MC to get themselves unintentionally or deliberately into all kinds of crazy, compromising situations. Disrobing both yourself and Vyv for a nude drawing knowing that we’ll be walked in on (as per Rule of Funny), or sending the Dormouse a painfully spicy Scoville gift only to backfire as you are forced to eat it… good gracious.
A question: has anyone been able to get the Win the Glided Honeysuckle Award achievement? I get that it has to do with getting enough points in peaceful the Jekyll Green debate during Chapter 5 if you start with the “punch” scandal, but the best prize I managed to get is the first runner-up. I’ve the suspicion, having looked briefly the code, that it might be impossible to get the debate variable past the required threshold.

I’ll check on that in a week or so and see if anyone manages to pull it off. It is in fact impossible, I’ll tinker with it. I suspect it might be a touch too high, but only a touch. I want that particular challenge to be right on the outside range of possibility.

It is not. There are only five possibilities for whom the new vice president will be, and Pilcrow isn’t one of them.
In that case, I think you are going to enjoy her plotline in Tea and Scones.

I just finished my first playthrough and had an absolute blast! It’s amazing to me how I started thinking about the main character as mine, as if I was the one who had written him, and not just picked choices for him. I feel like I’ve got a good idea of his overall character and I’m afraid I probably made some pretty dumb choices, but they were all in-character, so I suppose they were also the best choices. Admittedly I’ve grown pretty attached to my ridiculous Algernon Spranklin.
And of course I love all the other characters too. I mostly interacted with Fitzie and Tabby, in this playthrough, but I can’t wait to start a new game, and have more conversations with the others, and poke around in all the nooks and crannies I missed. Just glancing at the achievements I missed so much! And I’m also really excited to fiddle around with the DLC! I didn’t want to touch the cheats and hints options until I had played the game straight through at least once.

The irrational fear of chimneys filled me with glee. I had quite forgotten about the fact that my character suffered from it when I talked to Marmaduke about the latter quitting smoking and I chose the option of “no! You were a right chimney!” The result made me feel as if I had found a secret or something of the sorts. I loved that detail, whole little scenes for something that I thought was just a one-off joke.
I sure hope he doesn’t get a rapid pulse or clammy hands each time he gets called Sweeper.

You should trying playing one of the final bouts at the arena with a phobia or two!

I’ve managed to find a way to get the Honeysuckle, which interestingly requires becoming the spit master and impressing the audience with the “quality” of my "rhetorical flourish. Meanwhile, does anyone know whether there are any other ways for a more well-mannered fellow to become the Honeysuckle?

Ah! I loved it. Blasted eels. Blasted attractive tanks of eels.
(I, myself, would love one of those, though. A tank of eels sounds incredible.)

I’m an utter fool for replaying Tally Ho like 40 times without finding out that you can work for Fifi Buttercup!? How!? And Figs and Mopsie can elope!?
I also gotta admit I rather dislike the Rose and the Thorn now. Playing the whole idea of matchmaking to the extend of a God is insufferably condescending, not to mention they simply make the decision based on superficial reasons like “good family background” then try to pinch people who barely know each other together for life. Alright maybe I’m just holding a grudge that they tried to take Rory from me. I wonder if it will be possible to sabotage them somehow in the sequel? Or to get Fitzie stop caring getting into the inner circle? To convince him that staying on the Club blacklist forever has its own charm?

Now that the game’s out, I decided to try identifying everyone featured on the cover! I’m unsure about some of them, as you can tell by the question marks. I really love how detailed it is.
If anyone any let me know who’s the person sitting by Pilcrow and the Noblest Gas (I labelled them as another MC for now, since Tally Ho also features two MCs on its cover), or how can I encounter the cat by Gilberto’s legs in the game, I’ll be eternally grateful.

I’ve finally finished my playthrough of the most competent Noble Gas in history.
Every penny. Every penny.
That is all.

That is mostly perfectly correct, except that the fellow up top reading the newspaper is Gloves, and the fellow by the bar is, at least in principle, Duddles. You will meet the cat in Tea and Scones.
Well done. You officially have surpassed Pippy Piffrod (inducted 1793) who was highly acclaimed for having successfully baked a tasty blackberry pie without burning the kitchen down (on the second attempt).

I thought one of them was Valentine! 
But then, until the cover for this game was released, I was certain the Tally Ho cover featured a male Rory and female Frankincense 
(on the grounds that Rory smokes, but Frankincense does not).

I always think of one of them as Valentine too. And, if you have a male Rory, that is a cigarette. But if you have a female Rory, then the item in the male Frankincense’s hand is certainly not a cigarette, but an all-natural herbal incense wafter which keeps bugs away from the table in a cruelty-free manner.

Thanks for the answers! And awesome! Merle is an adorable bird, especially after he becomes a double spy, but I’m more of a cat person.
Oh. Just realise that Tabby’s dad named her that because of the whole cat food business. Poor Tabs.
…Okay, this makes a lot more sense now. No idea why I leapt to how it’s 2 MCs first.

How can you make Merle become a double spy? 
I discovered he was the spy, but I chose to teach him “better manners”

You gotta inform Ernie about Merle’s illicit’s activities, then, after finding the bird guilty, as long as your skullduggery is >37, you’ll get an extra option to instead feed him false information.

Ohh okay yes I got that option! I think. But I didn’t choose it so I forgot. Thanks!
