The Honey-Well: Dauntless Temperance Headquarters

Am I the only one who paid Fate to switch sides or is there anyone else who should not have this much disposable income to spare.

LillianAranach also paid fate to switch to the Campaigner. They’re a cool roleplayer, you should get to know them.

So have you now supported all three candidates or have you supported one of them twice?

Julliah Randolphs now supporting Dauntless btw, many thanks to Sir Joseph Marlen for the lovely coins :)

Did you pay fate or switch with the penalty?

Reposting this:

Here’s where I think the race currently stands.

The Campaigner
Surging due to a large number of defections from the Feducci camp and a small number of defections from the Detective.

The Detective
Holding steady, gaining some supporters from Feducci but losing some to the Campaigner. The net result is probably a wash or a slight gain for her.

Feducci
Losing supporters left and right, very clear fall in support and enthusiasm. Most of the defectors are going to the Campaigner, but a few are going to the Detective.

Anything is possible next Monday. The only result that would surprise me is any candidate winning an outright majority. I just don’t see that happening with the information I’m getting.

As for the our Campaigner’s supporters, they can be sorted into three distinct categories:

  1. Dry Supporters - these supporters support the Campaigner’s entire platform, especially the temperance planks.

  2. Wet Supporters - these supporters have misgivings about, don’t care for, or outright oppose the temperance planks in the Campaigner’s platform, but they still support the Campaigner because they like her plans to help the poor and marginalized, be they human, Rubbery, or Clay (Sinning Jenny is probably the prototypical Wet).

  3. Rubbery Friends/Clay Friends - these supporters back the Campaigner exclusively because she has promised to improve the lot of the Rubbery Men and/or the Clay Men and is being enthusiastically supported by both groups.

This is probably a testament to why big, expansive platforms are superior to small, narrow ones. With a big platform you have a better chance of appealing to a broad range of people.

We’re at the point where switching will almost certainly guarantee a below 20 election career, unless the switchers pay fate or have a huge election resource stockpile. So if Character X switches from Candidate A to Candidate B, this will hurt Candidate A more than it helps Candidate B. So recruitment is now largely about weakening the other side, as opposed to strengthening our own. Given the uncertainty about the state of the race and who is leading, we should focus all our efforts on recruiting Feducci supporters. The weaker Feducci is, the more likely it is that the Campaigner or the Detective will beat him.

I’d like to remind everyone to send this letter to any Feducci supporters you know who might be gettable:

My friend, Sinning Jenny, London’s beloved first Mayor, has openly endorsed the campaign of the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner by taking tea in Hastings Square. The Mayor has been won over to our cause by the Campaigner’s determination to continue Sinning Jenny’s legacy of actively helping the poor and the marginalized citizens of London. Among these poor and marginalized are the Rubbery Men and the Clay Men, both of which have found a dauntless advocate for their rights in the person of the Campaigner.

Our Mayor has no doubt also been unnerved by all the disturbing revelations surrounding Feducci: the bribes he has received from foreign powers, his service in Hell’s Revolution, and HIS WORK AS A SLAVE DRIVER ON HELL’S BRASS TRIREMES. But most damning for Feducci is his intent on COMPLETELY TEARING UP SINNING JENNY’S LEGACY without any realistic idea of what to replace it with.

The choice is clear. You can help the poor and marginalized of London by voting for the Campaigner. Or you can cast your vote for Feducci, foreign occupation and the rejection of Sinning Jenny’s work on our behalf.

Today I received one of my own pamphlets (the Jenny one, to be precise), which was rather interesting.

I humbly implore you to look and check before you stuff a leaflet into the letterbox of someone you do not need to persuade, my dear tenacious advocate.

Leaflet torn ✓

Um, I did look and check. I looked at Roberta Anne-Bella’s journal, mantel-place, equipment profile, and They Say and saw no indication that she was supporting anyone. So I sent her a pamphlet. I don’t know of anything else I could have done.

Planned to leave A Reputation for Fixing Things at 77 since election’s nearing its end. But alas,

sent too many fixing offers.

This is not especially election related, but…

I’ve been grinding Hell favours and it’s taking ages. Is there anyone I could ask for donations just to finance my trip to the Iron Republic?

waves Yo.

Congratulations! You appear to have inspired someone to emulate you, and start passing out letters (albeit with your text) in turn.

annalibertas says their character Anna Libertas is willing to switch from Feducci to the Campaigner (or, presumably, the Detective) for 45 echoes worth of First City Coins. I don’t have that many coins, nor would I be willing to spend that many, but if anyone does and would… Just putting it out there.

I have that many coins.

Done.

Let us hope they uphold their end of the bargain.

Considering they were honest with my offer, I’d put my trust in them.

Correction: Anna wants 180 coins. I completely misread the thread. Whoops!

I’ve sent her sixty and don’t have any more. Does anyone else have the final 120, or should I request a refund?

I have enough but I’d rather not give away everything. I’ll match your 60.
