Well, if he will be able to join and (probably) win, then he is really good spy.

Why, Sinning Jenny has forced everyone to provide beds! Or will! Within weeks! Still!
Come to think of it, Sinning Jenny must be singularly ineffectual if we are still waiting for her to put the mayoral mansion to rights. (I know it's not a suggestion thread here, but I wouldn't take it amiss if the next mayor's card got some new text once or twice during the year. You don't have to change anything mechanically, just something that doesn't make London feel like it's caught in a time warp.)

Well, having to choose between an openly corrupt candidate and an idealistic but ineffectual one does provide a certain verisimilitude.
But yes, that would be nice. I've investigated the mayor any number of times. But every time I do, the Masters bribe me for my silence. Apparently, the bribes are so effective that I forget what I've learned myself. Perhaps their agents are handing out Irrigo diamonds.

Thanks. Now everybody wants one for their collection.

Now, now, remember the saying? "Treason never prospers." Because it's only treason if you lose.

Well, that was the Byzantine way of doing things. Acting against God's anointed was blasphemy as well as treason - unless you succeeded, in which case you were obviously God's anointed sent to punish the usurper. Do you have any idea how many dynasties they went through?
But we collectively digress.

My almost-certainly-wrong guess: last year's candidates neatly fit the Celestial-Bazaarine-Nocturnal schools. Perhaps this year's will fit the Neath's martial traditions? The bandaged candidate (c'mon, let it be Grace!) might represent the Forms of the Tomb-Colonies; the others might have studied under the School of Hard Knocks or the Adventuress' Correspondence Course?

One of the twin Tomb-Colonist sisters, known as The Mercies (you can make their acquaintance via the Bandages and Dust card).
Grace ("the one who doesn't talk much") used to be a potential sponsor in the Moon-League of the (now retired) game of Knife & Candle.
Lettice is a potential player companion (Feast of the Rose, for Fate). She is "Dangerous, Persuasive and Dreaded. And don’t you forget it."
Both can be invited as guests to players' salon. They are both awesome characters.

Nah, Grace is too busy laughing her head off at her sister's antics to talk much.

Every time I see something like that I can't help but think of Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be a Hero.
"The game follows the Hero, who is a recent graduate of the Famous Adventurer's Correspondence School, on his journey into the land."
I backed the spiritual successor, Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption; after five years we are finally nearing release.

How long did the election last last year? I missed it last year and I really hope I won't miss it again, but I might not have internet on any of the election days.

I have been uncharacteristically loyal to our mayor, and will be sad to see her go. I do, however, hope this election still provides an opportunity to grind case notes again.
Am excited to see the new candidates. A certain scented smuggler would be nice, or perhaps the time has come for London to thrive under Urchin leadership.
The Widow certainly has leadership experience...

Thanks! I believe I will have internet then, and I am excited to participate.
