Question about the campaign: as a former Bishop voter, would the DTC satisfy me? "Combat hedonism and degeneracy" seems like an excellent agenda, but from the text I've been able to find she seems to be focusing mostly on honey right now (which, by itself, isn't a good enough electoral platform), and I've also seen her say something to the effect of her wanting to focus on helping the poor, reformed, and in need, as opposed to fighting against societal plagues.
Do we know what her actual focus will be? Or will we have to wait for the halfway point for more information?

Do we know what her actual focus will be? Or will we have to wait for the halfway point for more information? Both of the things you've said, basically. She's intent on fighting the honey trade, but also set on rehabilitating and building houses for the poor. She's a bit too smart to focus on just the honey, but she does really want to give drug barons and crime-bosses a kick in the shins.

You've just made all that up. We know nothing of the sort. She's kicking them in the shins by using campaign funds to buy up all their honey? I'd like to be kicked in the shins in such a manner.

Do we know what her actual focus will be? Or will we have to wait for the halfway point for more information? The DTC's full platform, as revealed through interviews and her campaign card, is as follows:
The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner has the most progressive platform of the three and I think this is our biggest strength. I recommend that we promote her platform in detail whenever possible. Here it is in full:
- A reduction in the supply of prisoners honey and intoxicating liquors through more stringent licensing and higher prices.
- Improved conditions and greater rights for London's workers, debtors, and tenets.
- "Houses of respite and healing" to aid addicts and the poverty stricken.
- Help for London's assorted animals - presumably everyone from L.B.'s to Blemmigans.
- A crackdowns on spirifiers.
Also, at Jenny's last ball, the Bishop of Southwark gave the DTC his tacit endorsement.

She's also not the candidates who has fought on Hell's side in a war.
Which is definitely something to know if you approved of the Bishop.

I really haven't, and ms. Auclair brilliantly explained why.

I seem to have missed it though, do you think you could link me to an echo? I'd like to read that for myself. The Bishop doesn't endorse her explicitly by name, but he spoke of coming battles and victories. Since the Campaigner is the only candidate who has the support of the Church, it seemed to me a pretty clear endorsement of her. Notice the Bishop continuously says "we" - he's referring to his party and his program.
Bishop of Southwark wrote:
He turns around and roars amiably as you approach. "Marvellous evening eh? I'm very much looking forward to the new roster. Very much indeed." He waggles his eyebrows. "I don't suppose you'll give away how you're voting yet?" He laughs, upsetting a nearby sideboard, to the alarm of several footmen.
He claps you about the shoulders. It feels like being hit by a felled oak. "We fought the good fight, and have had our year in the wilderness. We should not be ashamed, but humble! Grateful, even. For we are stronger for it, for all the battles to come."

That is slightly tenuous, though I certainly see the possibility of the connection - and she does have the support of the church, that much is certainly true. Thanks for that, I hadn't even considered this when I read that in-game.

Do the supporters of the Dauntless Campaigner require a fixer or subordinate campaigner?

Hey all. Just switched from Feducci to the Campaigner, as can be seen on my profile. (Those poor snuffers... sweeties...) So anyway, since that reset my Fixer level basically to zero, I'd be happy to switch to campaigner or agitator (though campaigner would probably make more sense for RP reasons), whichever you guys need most. Let me know! ^_^ Welcome to the Temperance Campaign, friend! I'd suggest campaigner since we've quite the extensive list of donators, you'll get up to 9 ItE in no time.
Not too familiar with agitating, but it seems pretty fell from the looks of all the complaints about people quite literally mobbed with menaces. edited by Infinity Simulacrum on 6/28/2017

Gul, one thing you could do is send letters to all your former Feducci supporting friends explaining why you switched sides and inviting them to do the same. I think that would have a good effect.

I also just switched to the Campaigner after discovering the skeletons in the closet of the Detective. The Campaigner's skeletons promise to be more useful.

Consider the Surprise Package I've had one of our members dispatch a welcoming gift. Also, you might consider changing the "~" in your profile link to a "%20", otherwise it'll redirect people to the home page, instead of to your actual profile. edited by Infinity Simulacrum on 6/28/2017

Solid work and undoubtful devotion! I would greatly express my deepest respect, were my respect worty of such great personas.

Let me know if any of my efforts move you in the future to reconsider your candidate. If they do, we'll have a tea cosy with your name on it waiting by the fire

With my sincere regrets I will decline this most persuading offer. Whilst debates may change the tide in the minds of those doubtful, it rarely affects decisive minds. Greatest achievemnts are reached by bold moves and terrible risks, and for that my heart and hand with Feducci's, even knowing his war and Game past, source of funds and attitude toward happenings around.
Plus, paralysing flow of powerfull and much demanded addictive substance and concentrating it all in the hands of signle person that is to come to huge power (let's skip aspect of substance's nature and fact of welling it in an environment like Neath) - what can possibly go wrong?
That of course in no way diminishes your achievements and successes. DTC has a solid chance to win, many thanks to you electings HQ. Only, that plainly supports Feducci's vision - success comes to bold and daring!
Wishing you good luck and respectful competition, Sir Kwint.
