I would have to choose between the two and that would be horrible. edited by Dudebro Pyro on 7/3/2018 Thing is, they'd go best together: The Lord and the King, snobs verses slobs, Palace verses Flit, that sort of thing. -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Anne%20Auclair

Lady Sapho Byron Posts: 770 7/3/2018	Does the Divine Right of Kings apply to the Topsy King? -- http://fallenlondon.com/Profile/Lady%20Sapho%20L%20Byron Fighting the Menace of Corsetry Since 1892.

They let Slowcake of Slowcake's Exceptionals run, not a committee of devils. We doubt latter would have flown. The big issue with non-humans running for election in-universe is the strong xenophobia that London feels towards its inhuman neighbors. In a city where devils are appalled, rubbery men are slaughtered by mobs, clay men are a borderline slave race, and species such as L.B.s and Snuffers are killed for sport, it can be presumed that only humans can hold office or vote. The loophole is that, so long as no one knows your candidate is secretly not a human or a stand-in for a non-human, all is well. Mr Slowcake is evidence of the fact, and characters such as Feducci and the Captivating Princess (one being an ubermensch of sorts and in league with a foreign power, the other with questionable legality as a candidate and questionable status as a human) show that anyone can run if they conceal their secrets well enough and people don't ask too many questions. Speaking of non-humans... Sara Hysaro wrote: I'm going to nominate Virginia, the Bishop of St Fiacre, and Monsieur Pleat when the thread goes up. Not as a trio - I don't think they'd be very balanced together - but any of the three would promise an interesting mayoral story for me to look forward to. I myself would love to see the Bishop of St Fiacre enter office! I wonder, though, what platform he would take. Would it be the reformation of London's underbelly? Government benefit for those less fortunate? Providing protection to London's inhuman citizens, and perhaps offering asylum to Snuffers with a similar attitude of "do no harm" like the Bishop? This last option would most likely fall under some secret agenda of the Bishop's, but I would love to see how his church connections would take on the position as caretakers for those who wish for a life without secrecy and murder. edited by Sir Joseph Marlen on 7/3/2018 -- Sir Joseph Marlen - The Romantic Sophist Alexus Harven - The Defiant Fatalist Rose Reinhelm - The Respectful Revolutionary Cappuccino - The Perfidious Spycraft Available for any and all social actions.

Jolanda Swan Posts: 1784 7/3/2018	The thing is, the candidate needs to be a recognizable NPC. Someone who rings enough bells for all players. And having said that, players would probably vote for a rubbery, or a clay like the pirate-poet, but then it would shatter the whole 'pariah' status their storylines depend on. -- Lover of all things beautiful, secret admirer of ugly truths, fond of the Parabola Sun... and always delighted to role play. http://fallenlondon.com/profile/Jolanda%20Swan

Floodwaters Posts: 2 7/6/2018	Would Manager of the Beth vs. The Boatman vs. The Judge who sends you to Newgate be possible. A pick your Menace election year?

Sara Hysaro Moderator Posts: 4514 7/6/2018	The Manager would probably win, but I'd support the Boatman there. Imagine how interesting his story would be! It'd be a shame when he inevitably loses. -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Sara%20Hysaro Please do not send SMEN, cat boxes, or Affluent Reporter requests.

Dudebro Pyro Posts: 755 7/6/2018	I just had a genius idea: the Contrarian should run for re-election! It's not been done before, but that's why he's Contrarian, after all. A candidate hadn't run twice before him, either. And being who he is, he would almost certainly run with yet another completely different platform, which would avoid having a repeat campaign and keep things fresh and new. -- Dudebro Pyro, eccentric scholar Spare Starveling Kitties always welcome. I collect them. For that matter, send me your unwanted cat boxes too.

Reinol von Lorica Posts: 102 7/6/2018	Silas, The Showman. The Veteran Privy Councillor. The Honey Addled Detective. The Manager of the Royal Bethlehem. The ultimate election in my opinion. -- https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/Reinol%20von%20Lorica

Μαρσ Posts: 49 7/6/2018	The Elusive Countess. She is wealthy enough to fund a campaign, of obscure origin (so there is a possibility to expand on her story), and she seemingly everywhere at society events, thus well connected. The Bohemian Sculptress. The first thing she tells you is not to forget the little people while you become famous. She must be well connected too, as she has a brother in the Foreign Office, made an allusion to knowing the Solitary Glim-Sculptor, and knows the way to Wilmot's end and Court. The Tentacled Entrepreneur + Spokesperson: He can fund his campaign ('rich as Croesus'). Typically polite society would not let a Rubbery man run, but FBG can pull this off by making Society letting him run as a joke. Choosing the right spokesperson can then bend the story in the way FBG wants. A docks character: Shipwreck Joe would give an interesting poster, and the Chandleress or the Salty Fabulist might make interesting candidates. A Mr or Mrs Maywell: They say London's hat makers are the maddest of them all. And I want to learn more about the merchants. -- Μαρσ, A Londoner, Zubmariner, Chef, a Doctor, and an Invisible Eminence. All social actions are welcomed.

Ixc Posts: 365 7/6/2018	I’d say the Tentacled Entreupenuer, the Muffled Intriguer, the Laconic Progidy, and the Ambitious Barrister. Though I have the Barrister as an alt, so would she become Mayor too? -- Pleased to meet you. Ixc, spy and detective. Inventor of the Correspondence Cannon. Are you a Paramount Presence?

Jolanda Swan Posts: 1784 7/7/2018	The Wit, the Countess and the Sculptress do sound like amazing choices, though I suspect we need to know more about their platforms... -- Lover of all things beautiful, secret admirer of ugly truths, fond of the Parabola Sun... and always delighted to role play. http://fallenlondon.com/profile/Jolanda%20Swan
