[color=#cc0099]Sinning Jenny’s time is up, a new Mayor will be chosen! This week, we announce the three candidates who think they can do a better job. Whom will you support?
Today we announce the second candidate!
The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner is a fixture among London’s social reformers. It seems she now has her sights on London! She bears the slogan: “Teatime for London.”
All manner of temperance campaigners flock to her emerald banners. Reformed poets, well-meaning members of Society and deacons and deaconesses of the Church walk in procession through the streets. “What I want, dearie, is for London to pull its socks up. For everybody!” She smiles and gives you a firm handshake.
The week will end with an announcement regarding the full details of the festival, which will begin Monday the 26th of June and run for two weeks.[/color] edited by Absintheuse on 6/21/2017
Take the pledge? I’d just as soon slit me own throat. Time to barricade and loophole the pub, lads. They’re trying to take away the working man’s one small respite from the grind of life.
Well, that narrows it down to two candidates and makes the choice easier, at least. :)
It seems somebody doesn’t like tea and pulling up their socks![/quote]
She just reminds me too much of my old teacher. I hated that woman with passion.
Oh, she might be surprisingly fun to learn about. I’m probably more likely to lean towards Feducci than DTC, but I’ll leave an open mind for whatever the actual election might reveal (plus the third unrevealed candidate).
Well… Nobody likes temperance, right? We all know how that turned out. But at least she’s not a spooky immortal-ish spy for evil turtle people.
I’m not saying the Presbyrate’s ruled by turtles, by the way. Just… living for a few hundred years, I mean, look what happens to people after only 100! Just saying, there’s probably a reason Candidate #1 rocks the tomb-colonist look. edited by hellaGumshoe on 6/21/2017

Feducci is Raphael of TMNT in disguise. Headcanon accepted.
I think one of the hallowmas options talked about how she blamed Mr Wines for a death. So I always thought she was a revolutionary trying to weaken Wines’ economic base.
Some of you are taking your role-playing too seriously.
That said, if she wins, you may well get a card that helps you grind Favour: Church or Favour: Society later. Perhaps, if she wins, Failbetter would churn out that Favour/Renown revamp for The Church and/or Society a lot earlier - more content for all of us, especially the long-timers.
(Of course, if Feducci wins, we may well get a card that gives Favours: Tomb-Colonies. This might be more desirable to newer players. Better yet, his card might just give Favour: The Great Game - he’s not exactly a London native, after all.)
P.S. On the other hand, if she wins but Failbetter slogs along with the Favour/Renown revamp for The Church and her card merely gives Connected: Society or Connected: Church, that would just be dissatisfactory. Yeah… Can’t risk that kind of disappointment by voting for her, really. edited by Rostygold on 6/21/2017
Not all anti-Masters sentiment comes from anarchists, y’know? A cardigan-wearing, church-going, tea-drinking respectable sort like the Campaigner might still have every reason for opposing Wines’ influence on London.
I’m surprised to find that she might have already brought me several “hearty potato-soups for the convalescent”, and paid me several times for my poems, but I didn’t even remember her name… Sorry:(
The plot twist halfway through the election will be that she once sat amongst the ranks of the bohemians or maybe even Mr. Veils’s girls, I’m calling it right now.
Joking aside, I’m glad to see the Campaigner’s return to relevance and a fresh art piece to boot! However, I’m not sure I’m comfortable voting for the antithesis of Jenny’s ideals. If there’s something I dislike more than a morally ambiguous immortal working for distant eldritch forces, it’s pressuring temperance and enforcing black/white morality. Still, I can’t wait to see the full extent of her campaign. edited by Sir Joseph Marlen on 6/21/2017
