Any election featuring The Topsy King will be his by a landslide, even if he campaigns wearing nothing but live weasels and a grin. I'm not sure this is a point in his favour -- he's just going to be so much more popular than anyone else.

For a More Moral London: The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner for Mayor

Quoting from the blog post:

With Election, we wanted to try creating specific content based on how candidates were trending. So, in the second week, we added new secrets about the candidates, expecting to see a shift of players.

How were these new secrets revealed? I must admit that I was rather busy with other stuff at the time so I sort of leveled myself to level 20 on autopilot. Where exactly did I miss these secrets?

4. The 1890s saw serious reform movements and politics: temperance, women's suffrage and prevention of cruelty to animals. The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner hits all three (in her Sunless Sea cameo she buys a Live Specimen from you, saying she hates seeing living creatures caged up). Fallen London has made some references to the Neathy equivalents of these reform movements, but they've always been in the background. The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner would thus give us the opportunity to not only learn more about said movements but also to participate in or oppose them. This would deepen the game's overall world building.

Early on, it was apparent (as revealed by ganoidyn’s wonderful polling) that Jenny would be the first Neathy Mayor of London. That the race was never close, was never really in any doubt, was, to me, the only blemish on the event. As Anne Auclair has pointed out elsewhere in this thread, should the Topsy King be up for election next year, his victory would be even more sweeping than Jenny’s, robbing the election of any sense of suspense. For those of us entertained by the horserace (such as myself), Tristram would be a dull candidate indeed.

The Garrulous Businessman: A pillar of the community, well known for his success at commerce and intent of returning London to the surface. His inability to avoid sticking his foot firmly in mouth has resulted in questions of his competency and money-making acumen. Not to mention disturbing rumors of close ties to the Khanate and Iron Republic.

Finally, I’d delight in seeing His Amused Lordship stand. He makes the most sense for a candidate: popular, cheerfully accepting of the public eye, and thoughtful enough to inspire confidence in an optimistic populace. Whether he'd be willing to shoulder such responsibilities remains to be seen although I imagine if Jenny were to have moments of self-doubt, she might well corner him at a party to ask his counsel. And how easy would it be for him to consider going from being an advisor to being the one actually making the decisions?

I never said that. I only said that if he is indeed a candidate he should be run against someone as equally popular as himself, such as His Amused Lordship.
