Oh, don’t get me wrong, it’s not that the progress can’t be regained, it’s the reason I have to regain it in the first place that’s bothering me. Fixer was billed as underhanded backstabbing, bribing, and blackmailing of the sort that was common in under-regulated elections. Instead, I ended up being spam for woefully inefficient menace reduction. At best. I would rather I not have to switch professions at all, but I also want to enjoy myself, too.
[quote=Anne Auclair]I can’t put my finger on it, but Feducci’s shady character and vague but over-the-top promises really remind me of someone…
Feducci: "When I win there will be so much winning, believe me, a really tremendous amount of winning. There will be so much winning that you will get so tired of winning and be like ‘Feducci, can we win a little less?’ I know how unfair the world is because I’ve cheated and schemed my whole life and because of that you can trust me to fix everything. I make the best gambles, believe me, and I’ll make really good gambles for our city. So. Much. Winning."

MAKE LONDON GREAT AGAIN!
Except Feducci is brilliant, and shrewd, and has the capacity to, among other things, open trade with the Presbyterate. Even if he did nothing else, that alone would be more than worth electing him, in my opinion. They’ve got so many resources, so much advanced technology, such an extraordinarily developed and sophisticated culture, that it would be foolish not to get as much as we can from such an arrangement.[li]
Don’t they murder everyone who reaches a hundred years of age?

A thousand. A hundred-year-limit’s an exceptional punishment for the families of certain lawbreakers.
Collective punishment of family isn’t much of an improvement, tbh.
don’t know if this is allowed or anything, but I made this poll for the election!

My problem with the investigator is that if she does win and get in power, well, there’s a saying about absolute power. Don’t get me wrong, this does apply to the other candidates, but someone fighting corruption and getting corrupted? Seems like an old story to me. Also, the Campaigner has a habit of throwing aside the things that trouble her. (honey-well). I like what she says, but not what she does.

how awkward! fixed
I believe it was due to some betrayal in which one of their number charted an unexpected course for London’s forces. I’m not entirely sure, though, as it was in a Hallowmas confession that I can’t seem to find now. My apologies by the way for being so brief and inconcise. I’ve been quite busy and hadn’t had much time to research or chat.
The Implacable Detective prosecuting London’s corrupt judges and politicians? Yeah, that policy will last all of five minutes before the Masters kill it, with them spending that first five minutes laughing their batty arses off at her. Too many people benefit from the current corrupt order to let her tear the whole thing down.
The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner wants more poorhouses? When you pay people to be poor, you get exactly what you pay for: more poverty and more complacency. Banning cheap vices like liquor and drugs won’t make the demand nor the existing supply evaporate. The people will merely turn to even more illicit means to get their fix, bringing more criminals to power.
And then there’s Feducci, a fearless leader whose cunning and wit are rivaled only by his prowess in battle. Feducci is a man who practices what he preaches, and is the only candidate who’s been told to be capable of delivering what he promises. He aided the Season of Revolutions in overthrowing the Aristocracy of Hell! If he can stand against Hell itself and triumph, what chance does the current order have in holding him back?
Fellow citizens, I implore you! Back the only candidate whose methods and goals are time-tested and true!
VOTE FEDUCCI!
Wait a minute, Fixers can advance their career by helping people get rid of their Scandal and/or Suspicion? Or am I misunderstanding things?
Correctomundo.
And here I had gotten to level 7 of the Fixer profession by farming Convincing Rhetoric and Dirty Secrets by grinding the ‘Investigate a Campaign’ and Perform a Flash Lay - learn campaign secrets options’ :/
Oh, sorry, I got confused; there’s two forms of advancement this time. You advance your generic career by doing as you said, and you advance your fixer qualities by fixing people’s menaces. Both are separate and both contribute to your vote in the election.
Oh shit, things might have gotten a bit more complicated than I thought. Still, looking at the silver lining and all that, this means that I didn’t fully waste my time by grinding the ‘Investigate a Campaign’ and Perform a Flash Lay - learn campaign secrets’ options

Oh you’re so full of it, "Pay people to be poor." So what, we’re supposed to let people who find themselves in lesser circumstances just waste away in the streets? They’re all in some capacity or another victims.
And as for Feducci, not a magnanimous hair on that man’s head. You’re praising the name of a man who double-deals with just about every faction who will, a man who cheats at his own death-duels, and a man who makes deals that always end up with him profiteering for them.
"Fair London" means fair for Feducci, not fair for the citizenry.
And for all of his heroic acts against the aristocracy of hell, he seems to be very thick buddies with the devils of London…

I assumed they were posting in-character. “Pay people to be poor” indeed, heh.
