[quote=SirKwint]And I continue to wonder, my dearest fellow Londoners - will we ever see a Master on a campaign for a Mayor.
Yes, they are not into politics. But definitely into money and power :)[/quote]
Well, that would mean having to investigate them and mess with them for the campaign… Would enough people dare (and be capable of it)? It would severely imbalance the competition… ^^°
[quote="Many" Chin]ah. i hate campaigning. can’t i just cast a vote and murder some interns? edited by rebelanarch-82 on 6/26/2017[/quote]
I suppose the equivalent is to enter a candidate’s team, get your gift, but not do much more work for them: the only voice influenced will be your own. :<
Alternatively, you can pick the Fixer or Agitator’s job, and you’ll get all the murdering you crave, literal or metaphorical! \m/
You’ve probably met the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner before. She sometime brings you potato soup when you’re wounded. She has the most progressive platform of the three candidates, declaring: "I have dedicated my life to fighting exploitation."
And promising:
Increased tea drinking.[/li][/ul][ul][li]A reduction in the supply of prisoners honey and intoxicating liquors through more stringent licensing and higher prices in order to combat widespread addiction and poverty.[/li][/ul][ul][li]Improved conditions and greater rights for London’s workers, debtors, and tenets.[/li][/ul][ul][li]"Houses of respite and healing" to aid those stricken by poverty or addiction and to help them recover.[/li][/ul][ul][li]Greater protection for London’s assorted animals - presumably everyone from L.B.'s to Blemmigans.[/li][/ul][ul][li]A crackdowns on spirifiers.
In a lot of ways one might say that the Campaigner is fighting to expand Jenny’s legacy of modest reform into something far more expansive. edited by Anne Auclair on 6/27/2017[/quote]
I’m interested. I wish to hear more about Feducci and the Detective first. If not, I’m willing to campaign for a reduction in Scandal.
Attention: Character repairman seeking to mend the damaged reputations and legal standing of right-minded gentlefolk. May be found under the name “Franzibald Fauntleroy”. Inquire at the Bazaar, Tower 8, Room 31.
The Detective is promising to give more power to London’s police force as well as give financial aid to former Constables and Detectives who have fallen on hard times (i.e. the Honey Addled Detective).
Feducci is a spy for the Presbyterate who is also allied with Hell. He is receiving cash bribes from the Presbyterate and his campaign manager is a Devil. His platform calls for a culling of legal and class restrictions in order to let people rise and fall as ability and chance dictate (among the restrictions he wants to remove are liquor licenses).
I am very, very skeptical that Feducci has the best interests of London at heart or that his platform is wholly sincere. This is a man who challenges people to duels to the death while being pretty much immortal, has a history of leading those who follow him to destruction (his Hallowmas confession), and is, again, on the Presbyters payroll. edited by Anne Auclair on 6/27/2017
[quote=IHNIWTR]I can’t believe I’m supporting the campaigner, but there you have it
the explanatory text on her card absolutely won me over
[spoiler]The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner tears herself away from a brisk conversation with a member of Humble Order of Mudlarkers and Steeplejacks to answer your questions.
"I have dedicated my life to fighting exploitation. Yes, I’ve fought the honey-pushers, who addict dreamers, and the drink-dealers who poison mothers and fathers. But I’m here to fight the factory-owners, the landlords, the bankers who drive our citizens into such harmful escapes. We must help the addled and afflicted, provide houses of respite and healing. And tea. I am in favour of tea." She smiles and gives you a firm handshake, before marching away to menace a notoriously unscrupulous landlord.[/spoiler]
I’d take housing for the poor over speculative investment and more brutal policing any day[/quote]
Actually, the poor are pretty cool with Feducci.
"Promises of a chain that can be climbed has sparked hope in London’s poor."
Baseless accusations!
Anyone and everyone in the city is on someone’s payroll, with no detriment to their personal honor and motives. Why try so futilely to tarnish the man’s reputation with such proofless stains?
Besides, you have said the words yourself: to let people rise and fall as ability dictates. Is this not what we should desire? That we may reach for the skies (or at the very least, the rather high-up ceiling we have here) on our own efforts, without the government to hinder us? All that the regulations have done is drown those far below, while the rich and powerful calmly sip their tea in the spires of the Bazaar and mansions in Veilgarden.
Feducci fancies himself the spirit of change, and it is change we need. Not tea. Who better than a fighter to lead this?
And what are your thoughts on livery companies that emerged in this year’s election, dear Londoners? Each candidate is supported by a one: “The Humble Order of Mudlarkers and Steeplejacks” works for Dauntless, “The Honourable Company of Stereoscopists” for Detective and “The Worshipful Company of Victualers” for Feducci.
I don’t remember encountering any of these organisations earlier.
As far as I’ve learned, the Stereoscopists seem to be connected with Glass. It’s intersting that magicians are supporting Detective… Well, maybe I’m a bit biased against snakes, but this entanglement makes her a rather risky choice imho
Aw, I already left. I was hoping there would be more, but I guess I didn’t have the patience to keep cycling through to check for some thing new. (I’m also really tired and wasn’t thinking… I assumed there was nothing more after a few rounds. I mean, actions points weren’t used up so why didn’t I?! Ha, I suppose I should restrain from voting for a while. Maybe even choosing a career).
Huh. This is just me throwing in some thoughts, nothing important, meh. Have a nice day. (This is actually my first post, so I’m a little more awkward and confused than I normally am… also wishing forums had strike through. …and small font, but oh well)
I kept cycling the airs for ages, but didn’t find anything else. Either I was really unlucky, they were very rare, or there were no more encounters.
Edit: Oh and the other possibility is that I didn’t have the required qualities to trigger them (i.e. there may have been encounters with companions I don’t have). edited by Plynkes on 6/27/2017
just like you can win it big by betting on horse races[/quote]
The thing is: you can not win under any other mayor. They prohibit the poor to "bet on the horse race" or they prohibit to give the poor their "prise". Only Feducci gives the freedom of growth and allows all to win. Also, the "horse race" example is not correct, cause, it’s only about luck. It is more like career growth or capital/money-bag growth, your own labour and skill, not luck or fate. Under other mayors, the poor can not "start their own business" and are destined to rot in the slums, toiling for pennies. Under Feducci- they can get a better life, by their hard work, resourcefulness and will. It’s like slavery in Egypt, and capitalism in USA, compared. edited by Autonomous on 6/27/2017 edited by Autonomous on 6/27/2017 edited by Autonomous on 6/27/2017

Oh please, like the Campaigners revolutionary allies are any better. They wish for the collapse of all rules and law. And as for the duels to the death, last I checked his lances weren’t tipped with Cantigaster venom and he doesn’t chop up the body, so his opponents are free to return if they desire
The Campaigner is not a Revolutionary. Like a lot of Londoners she has some friends who are Revolutionaries, that’s all.
Feducci goes to his duels literally covered in black ribbons, so he has permanently killed a large number of people in duels to the death. And yet he cannot actually die. He can’t even be maimed. So he takes no risks in those fights - they’re the definition of one sided. Just as he takes no risks in his Presbyterate investments. With Feducci, risk is for other people. When he gambles his dice are always loaded.

They’re not her "Revolutionary Allies", they’re trying to get her to repay them for a debt.
The DTC used to be close friends with the previous March of the Calendar Council, a March that for all intents and purposes was mellow and nice and got killed for not being as much of a die-hard revolutionary as the rest.
The Anarchists are indeed trying to pressure our Temperance Campaigner, but don’t think they’re allied with her.
