She can't actually get rid of all of it, even if that was her intention :P
No, but there's something really satisfying about a potential shadow war between the DTC's platform and Mr. Wines.
She's waging a shadow war against Spices at the moment. But it's not all that different from the shadow war that March waged against Wines, come to think of it. March gave away Darkdrop Coffee for free to undermine the businesses owned by Mr Wines.

[spoiler]I mean I joke about the honey thing being that bad, the main concern is the crazy revolutionaries seeking to bring about endless night sniffing about her campaign demanding recompense for favors.
..Although the honey this is pretty bad. [/spoiler]

I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien

the explanatory text on the campaigner card absolutely won me over
[spoiler]The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner tears herself away from a brisk conversation with a member of Humble Order of Mudlarkers and Steeplejacks to answer your questions.
"I have dedicated my life to fighting exploitation. Yes, I've fought the honey-pushers, who addict dreamers, and the drink-dealers who poison mothers and fathers. But I'm here to fight the factory-owners, the landlords, the bankers who drive our citizens into such harmful escapes. We must help the addled and afflicted, provide houses of respite and healing. And tea. I am in favour of tea." She smiles and gives you a firm handshake, before marching away to menace a notoriously unscrupulous landlord.[/spoiler]
I'd take housing for the poor over speculative investment and more brutal policing any day

[spoiler]Endless night, eh? And some artists might feel jealousy at her hoarding of the poison of the honey bee, which they call sweet delight. But her care for innocent creatures might prevent public strife and the ruin of the state. Well, we can but try to tell the truth with good intent.[/spoiler]

I will vote for the Campaigner and love the moment when Sinning Jenny hands her over they mayoral hall - two seemingly different ladies who both went for the exact same cause.
Also, the honey well is genius and I cannot wait to see where it goes.
PS I hate to say bad things but... Feducci is sooooo Byronic that Byron's ghost got pissed off and is now voting for DTC.

I ended up backing Feducci.
I do like the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner and wish her well
I couldn't back the Implacable Detective after I saw that she had links to the Fingerkings and her agenda seems a bit too totalitarian for me.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

DTC! If you're in any way altruistic or less than self-interested. Feducci is planning to tear down the old order - great - and then reinstate a new order (not so great) in which those who meet his definition of 'daring' go to the top. Which means there's a bottom. Which means anyone who is cautious, simply unable to help themselves or who loses ends up at the bottom of the pile.
Why is the Implacable Detective even interested in becoming mayor?
In either case, I'd vote for the person with actual experience trying to improve London who has previously tried to do so. (Then again I'm a new player, so lore may well contradict me on that.)
And hey I'm a pendulum between Austere and Hedonist, but she's got her priorities right - housing first, temperance not so important.

No, you're more-or-less right, the DTC's platform is the least intrusive and most magnanimous of the three, and there's some business between the Implacable Detective and the Fingerkings that concerns me.
As to the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner's connection to revolutionaries, there's no real evidence to suggest she agrees with their ideals and/or is indebted to them, it's clear that she used to be friends with the now-dead March of the Calendar Council, but the nature of the friendship hasn't really been explained.
Anyhow, welcome to the Dauntless Temperance Campaign, I've had someone send you a Surprise Package as somewhat of a welcoming gift, be sure to pop in at the Honey-Well and check the document, we take care of our own.

No, lore supports you... probably. Some have theorized that the DTC pouring honey down a well will **** off a certain entity, but take comfort - there are arrangements for every reckoning. Whether or not it is postponed indefinitely.
But keep in mind that the Detective is indebted to a faction strongly hinted to be Fingerking supporters... and poor July can tell you why that's a bad idea. Feducci is a spy, ne'er-do-well, and overall rogue.. who will certainly win because most players are RPing ne'er-do-well rogues of their own, making this election almost as much a sham as the last (but then again, we DTC supporters are a salty bunch, it seems).
...Also, speaking of lore, it's kind of funny a Glassman is supporting the anti-honey character. Perhaps it's because I know what lies behind the mirrors, and I can assure you that the fewer addicts are wandering about Parabola, minds unguarded and hearts questing, the better.

Not as much salty as just reserved and hard-working, I'd say.
And even if we're fighting a losing battle, I can unbiasedly say that the Dauntless Temperance Campaign is the most well-organized, a proper reflection of our patron lady herself.

Roaring speakeasies, illegal stills, a thriving black-market, the thrills of secrecy and subterfuge, more grand thefts of contraband and confiscated delights, all under a pious public veneer that makes the private kind all the more delicious.
The Campaigner will be a boon for the independent businessman while providing a pleasant environment for our dear old aunts.
It’s like she was made for Fallen London.

The Campaigner is not proposing prohibition, so this is nonsense.
