Sensibly you keep it short, as raisins aren’t actually harvested it’s not a joke that withstands much scrutiny, but as a quick repost to current affairs you hope it will do the job. Judging by the appreciative chuckles you have judged things correctly. - GAME OVER
Your Ending
Declaring the interview over the Bureau go into a huddle to discuss matters, after a brief round of voting the Party Chairman gives you the good news; you have been accepted into the Bureau and will be given a Ministry. Overcome with relief you accept, neglecting to check exactly what role you have been given.

Ranking
- Grand Total = 61pts
- Rating = You survived and are a Minister in the Stav Bureau. So why such an unimpressive score, well it all depends quite what you are Minister for doesn’t it?.
- Stav Bureau Career = The morning after your celebratory drinks the Party Chairman begins your briefing; you will be the new Deputy-Minister of Fruit in the Bureau. To say you are shocked is putting it mildly. You soon discover that as Deputy-Minister of Fruit you don’t actually qualify for a hollowed out Volcano due to concerns it may impact on fruit ripening, however despite it being nominally above your grade you do get your own station on the global monorail network to ensure prompt fruit delivery worldwide. Naturally the mysteries of the Prophecy, Legacy and Ritual are also withheld from you.
- Future Life = While you never expected to become fruitgrocer to the Bureau you throw yourself into the job, hoping to one day work your way up to full Minister, a not ridiculous hope as there is no Ministry of Fruit or even Food. Alas you never quite manage this, though you are eventually shown the awesome power of Stavanomics to assist in controlling the global fruit market for the benefit and enjoyment of the Bureau. So there’s that.
