It entirely is; from the carouse option on the ‘Where’s my soul?’ card[/quote]
The full quote reveals that you blundered into her in a drunken stupor and she thinks you’re attacking her. So she starts fighting you off with her shoe while shouting for the police. A perfectly ordinary misunderstanding, from the sound of it.[/quote]
Being bumped into in a pub warrants shoe based assault? To what end was she there if not to offer help to us poor drunken wretches?
Thank you, couldn’t find my echo of it and had to use the wiki’s, which is unable to have the whole thing.

As someone who was almost attacked once by a drunk and had to shout for help, I can testify that drunks can be pretty scary. Especially when its dark and they’re bigger and stronger than you. And you don’t bump into her, you essentially fall on her.

That sounds legitimately terrifying, I’m sorry it happened and am glad you escaped with out harm. I’m lucky enough not to have experienced that, but I have had people fall/stumble on to me in pubs and her response still seems excessive.
I think that’s just Fallen London being funny in its usual over the top manner ^_^ Like, you’ve hit rock bottom and now a lady is hitting you with a shoe. But I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally wrong with her defending herself when spooked.
Also, in a world where people can come back from a slashed throat, is a shoe really much of a weapon? :P
btw, the fact that she has a shoe so readily in hand makes me wonder if she carries a shoe around in her purse for emergencies… I mean, did she stop to take her shoe off and then start hitting you? Doesn’t sound like it.

Well, at least she holds the shoe in hand, as opposed to kicking the drunkards while it’s still on her foot. That’s gentler than most bar fights. But what was she doing in a bar frequented by the soul-less anyway?
I didn’t even realise DTC is the lady who hit me with a shoe back when I was down on luck. Just another reason not to vote for her. Personal grudge ;P
edit: wait a minute. Feducci murdered me. twice

I think we can all agree that the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner is a terrible companion for a pub crawl.
I believe that this comment can official be declared the best thing to come out the entire election.
hu this happened to my self as well…the campaigner sure does pop up all over the place doesn’t she?.
makes me wonder how I managed to forget she existed in till this election…

actually now that I think of it, I might’ve banged out a few rhymes for her "hymns to sobriety" back in the veilgarden times. she was so unremarkable though. It’s kinda funny to see an old lady who once looked like she could comandeer half a knitting group at best, now aim for london’s mayor. How the turntables. She’s gonna need a way bigger shoe this time, though ;P
Man, not having access to the current numbers is driving me bonkers. We’ve seen defections and side-swaps, but it’s impossible to really say if it’s changing the game significantly. Nnngh. Anne’s so full of hope and conviction that Feducci’s bleeding supporters like a stuck pig, but I wish I had more concrete info.
It’s a long way to the end of the weekend. I’ll be a bundle of nerves by the time it’s announced.
I find it interesting that in that quote she is referred to as "a Dauntless Temperance Campaigner" (and not "The").
Seems to indicate that originally, "Dauntless" was not supposed to be her last name, but just an adjective. (Unless there are several of them in that family :-) )
I do think her relation to Chuffy is a rather recent decision on the part of the writers, inspired by a certain post.
I’m definitely not a Feducci supporter, but when did he murder you (or anyone else, for that matter)?
The only way to fight him is for you to challenge him to a duel. Hardly a murder. Even more: for all his talk of fighting to the real death, he doesn’t permanently kill you if he wins.

As he says, Fair Play.

I mean, I did specifically ask for it. But I was also definitely dead for a sec there. Twice. So I suppose it would be more polite to the stabby murder mummy to say that he… un-alived me? Twice?
The horse was a surprise though. If he said horses were allowed beforehand, I would’ve brought my own. We could’ve had a nice jousting. In a 100% friendzone no-homo way. Just saying.

Where’d he get all those black ribbons he wears on his arms then if he doesn’t permanently kill people?

Oh, there’s definitely been a lot of movement, it’s just a question of how much. It’s like looking out at the ocean on a clear day and seeing some fish jump and then a humpback whale surface. You know there’s more fish and more whales under the water, but you couldn’t say how many. But all the signs are what we would hope for, limited though they may be.
He does kill people, just like all of the Black Ribbon do. Consensual murder though, which is pretty cool, some people will just stab you in the kidney without even saying ‘good evening’. That London, amirite.
It’s a waiver you sign at the door, they’re being pretty transparent about the un-aliving thing. He doesn’t permanently kill the player bc, well, handy-wavey game mechanics. It’s not SMEN, you can’t just murder the player goodbye on a tertiary storyline.

Rhetorical question. I was pointing out that the player seems to be an exception as Feducci has permanently killed almost everyone else he’s dueled. So, the player surviving a loss is not really evidence of Feducci’s adhering to some standard of fairness.
The standard of fairness is that they were clearly informed that they’re going to die beforehand. And it’s not like Feducci fights some random newbies that are just starting in BR. By the time the player gets to him, they’ve presumably also perma-murdered some BR members (again, because of the mechanics, we can fight the BR duelists again and again, but, you know).
