For the record I genuinely wasn’t expecting anyone to take me up on this, Fallen London is wild, I will, of course, be honoring the bribe if I get enough coins before the election ends or will return them to their senders if it is not
Consider this message my official receipt of Teaspoon and Blaine’s coins
I offer myself to give you the coins that are missing.
So, 60 blaine, 60 teaspoon, you need 60 still?
If any other Feducci supporter (or even id) wants to sell their vote for first city coins or else i’ll be happy to buy it.

Only 60 more coins are required, that is correct.

LillianAranach also paid fate to switch to the Campaigner. They’re a cool roleplayer, you should get to know them.[/quote]
How sweet of you to say. Thank you ^~^
I’ve been known to say that if the Campaigner wins, it will be Anne’s doing. While I do not rescind this, I’d like to give Feducci himself a commendation for being the second-most fervent campaigner for our cause.
Last set of coins have been received, hat’s off to y’alls teamwork
Paying to switch in fate in deference to the impressive size of the bribe, proof will be echoed

Just received an offer from you to remove some scandal so that’s proof enough for me.
The Campaign grows! In these last few days, friends, it’s easy to become disheartened. I struggle with doubt, wondering if all our work will be for naught, if the shocking revelations of gross mismanagement on the parts of our opponents or the tireless endeavors of our compatriots failed to shock enough people out of their first, stubborn choice of an “interesting” candidate. Did the Rubbery and Clay sympathies win us enough favor? Has our lady’s valor and strength even when others counted her out been enough to convince people she is the best choice for London?
Fear not, friends. We’ve seen an unprecedented amount of late recruits and changed minds in this election, and most of them have come to our campaign. I cannot guarantee our victory, as I’m no Madam Shoshana, but I can say this: it will be close. We have taken a startling disadvantage at the halfway point and fought with it, and even as Feducci’s supporters crow and prematurely celebrate, we have tirelessly worked to snatch that assumption away from them.
Know this: even if we do not win this election, I am proud to have served alongside you fine folk. I do, however, think our chances are good, far better than any others would have given us but a few short days ago. I’ll admit I went into this battle thinking it would be a repeat of last year, a hopeless contest against a foe whose support was unwavering and unassailable, that I’d at least go out fighting instead of picking the obvious winner. But now, there is no obvious winner!
The Feducci campaign said they were going to waltz through this election, and we choked 'em with those words. We’ve done the impossible… and that makes us mighty.

That’s really generous of you. Thanks!
Hurrah for teamwork! Hurrah for the DTC!
Sorry if this is the wrong place, but could laseule possibly request some help with Nightmares? This Agitator business is quite hard on the Menaces.

Fixers can’t fix nightmares, but you can dump yours on the Professor using those betrayal options in the lodgings. She doesn’t mind. Can’t be a mad scientist without being a little mad.
Wowza, those upvotes. I need to make fewer snarky jibes and more battlefield rallying speeches. Preferably ones with Firefly references.
What’s Firefly?
I think Infinity Simulacrum deserves 50% credit as they put together our HQ and assembled all the information. They also came up with the name for our HQ, which Failbetter really liked, apparently.
I toast the pair of you, whatever happens.
In mushroom tea, naturally.
My character just convinced another person with full career and nearly full influence to switch sides from Feducci to the Campaigner (they chose to do it with fate on their own volition, I never ask for fate).
I feel good about tomorrow. Whatever the final result, we definitely moved the race in the direction we wanted.
I started this election completely ambivalent about the candidates, but her words caused me to work harder for the DTC this week. I didn’t much care for the mechanics of the election, but because of the posts on here (especially hers) I did really enjoy it! In a way I am sad that I care enough to be really disappointed if F. wins.
If the detective fails, know that you’ll still have my support.
I was about to encourage you to watch it, and then realized you don’t need to stinging pain of knowing it’ll never be finished. You are happier like this.
Actually, yeah, IS deserves applause, too. Despite being not as visible, the behind-the-scenes organizer is a position that shouldn’t be forgotten. You have a good point.
I converted two or three people to the DTC, I think, and I got Campaigner 20 and Influencing 15 with Notability 11, so I like to think I helped a little bit.
This election is far more enjoyable if you engage in the community, yeah. Last year was mostly boring for me because I didn’t touch the forums. I just did my Flash Lays and Investigations and whatnot for the Contrarian while knowing it was obviously going to be Jenny. To be fair, I wasn’t as opposed to Jenny as I am Feducci (likely due to not engaging in the community and therefore not arguing with Jenny supporters); I just really like the Contrarian. He’s actually my favorite character in the whole game, I think. Then again, heh, maybe I find him relatable. Argumentative, sarcastic guy who dwells in an unfortunate middle-ground in ideals, where he opposes the status quo but also disagrees with the main opponents of the status quo? If he’d just had a cane instead of a wheelchair, I’d swear he was a cooler version of me.
I know I told everyone not to take the election too seriously, but I get the idea that a Feducci win will be disappointing. I strongly urge people not to take it too badly (and when I say "people," I’m looking into a mirror, but a chipped one so it’s me I’m talking to and not others). However, at the end of the day, take heart in the knowledge we’ll end up with nice lore and content any way this goes.
