The city is already run by a group of supernatural killers, engaging all the Jacks would be plain redundant.
Vote for Feducci to destroy Mayor Jenny’s legacy of helping the poor and excluded. Under Feducci, the poor and excluded will be on their own with no one to fight for them.
Only under Mayor Feducci will the poor truly get the chance to rise above their station. Politicians can spew out candied words and touching platitudes all they like, but only the Glorious Leader has a plan that can get real results right now. Vote for the mayor London has shown that it wants, the one it truly needs!
Vote Feducci!
[quote=Edward Warren]As much as I enjoyed today’s polls confirming what I already knew, I could already tell that our Glorious Leader was winning.
How?[/quote]
By using your head and realizing most players would vote for the zaniest, most "interesting" candidate? That’s how I knew!
The fact we’ve actually been putting up a fight is nothing short of Herculean. If we’ve made it this far, hey, we’ve actually got a chance where everyone else thought we had none.
Most "well meaning" people will either give you a fish and a soothing lie, or a fishing rod and some bitter truth.
Feducci remains silent, and hands you a knife.

That’s not as profound as you think it is, and much more insane.

I hope they show the actual consequences of his ridiculous philosophy. Jenny’s mayorship was treated kindly, which makes me think they might only show a few snippets of successful policies, rather than have some candidates seen to be performing badly or doing objectionable things.

I’d like to remind you that we’re talking about an election taking place in an underground city lying on top of four other cities, ruled by a cabal interstellar bat mercenaries in service of a heart-broken demigod, where one of the candidates is an immortal spy whose campaign is run by a devil. This is pretty far down the rabbit hole. I think we’re all past the point of climbing out, so trying to accomplish such things as sobriety or transparency appears to me as equally insane as promising equal chances in either gaining a fortune or gambling away your heritage in one night.

I’m a bit torn on this, but ultimately hope that at least in game terms all mayors are about equal. It’d be a bad move to introduce the notion that we need to elect the developer designated correct mayor if we don’t want to have a comparatively bad year.
All the more reason to add a little propriety and respectability to the mix! Harrumph.

This perfectly captures why majority of London voters are so frustrated with the current state of affairs. Those who claim to have the best interests of the many at heart in one breath turn their noses up at them at the next. Those who are at the bottom of the chain can’t afford to worry about propriety when they’re just focused on surviving.
People are tired of well-off society types like the Campaigner and the Detective claiming to have their best interests at heart, while running in circles and never managing to accomplish anything.TDC and ID have been working towards their vision of London for years now, and how well off are the people right now? How well are their campaigns doing? How much longer must the people endure the grandstanding of the haves who claim to know what’s best for the have-nots?
Only one man rubs shoulders with all walks of life in London. He’s a man with extensive experience in politics as well as in wartime strategy, skills that his opponents wholly lack.
The time has come for a real fresh start, with a real man people know, with a real plan for change. Let’s build a London that’s fair to everyone, not just the "proper" and "respectable"!
Vote Feducci!
Vote for a politician because he isn’t a politician! A very sound plan, yes…
I would like to take this occasion to thank all the Feducci supporters that allowed me to help them with their problems, which in turn allowed me to achieve the much coveted 5th level of Notability. Now, the only thing left is to await an unsigned letter.

There are no Clay Men or Rubberies among his supporters. They’re supporting the Campaigner. It seems they don’t trust Feducci’s vague promises.
Feducci was (and probably still is) involved with the triremes. Kek. This was totally unexpected with all his other sketchiness. Totally unexpected.
Have fun justifying your support of this one.
TeslaWalker, I feel such comments rather overstep the bounds of good taste. I charge you to be more civil.
I am available for fixing if anyone is interested. I would appreciate help with suspicion.
Forward for the best-least-bad!
There are some things we keep in our heads. No matter how much they want to escape. Just… just burst on out of there, like some bitingly sarcastic Athena.
EDIT: Apparently I’m mixing up homophones now. That means I’ve had enough wine at this late hour. Time to stop.

How so? Mentioning something that should be known to anyone voting for him? Or questioning the support of slavery? Or was it how I said it? My mocking candor at those supporting the sketchiest candidate by far that’s apparently winning for the lulz as far as I can tell.
I’ve seen others say far worse with far more venom behind it on these forums. I don’t particularly feel I’ve overstepped any bounds, though you are the moderator so I suppose I’ll leave after having posted once in this thread.
We are not here to mock our fellow players. Whoever wins the election, they will remain our friends and neighbours, and should be shown respect. If you see others behaving badly, the correct course of action is to notify the moderators, not to join in. And I don’t ask that you leave - only that you be polite.
(Also, if one is ever wondering whether to use the terms “kek” or “lulz”, remember the wise words of the poet - “don’t use the terms ‘kek’ or ‘lulz’; they’re awful.”)
