Election 1897 Candidates

Wilhelm Leibniz III Posts: 63 7/2/2018	They say it is never to early to start talking about the next election. Just for fun, who would you like to see running? Personally I would like to see Mr Pages, since he is the only Master adorkable enough to run, as part of some latest plan for love storys. I would also like to see His Amused Lordship. Because it's His Amused Lordship. -- Wilhelm Leibniz III, Glassman, Hearts Desire

Μαρσ Posts: 49 7/6/2018	The Elusive Countess. She is wealthy enough to fund a campaign, of obscure origin (so there is a possibility to expand on her story), and she seemingly everywhere at society events, thus well connected. The Bohemian Sculptress. The first thing she tells you is not to forget the little people while you become famous. She must be well connected too, as she has a brother in the Foreign Office, made an allusion to knowing the Solitary Glim-Sculptor, and knows the way to Wilmot's end and Court. The Tentacled Entrepreneur + Spokesperson: He can fund his campaign ('rich as Croesus'). Typically polite society would not let a Rubbery man run, but FBG can pull this off by making Society letting him run as a joke. Choosing the right spokesperson can then bend the story in the way FBG wants. A docks character: Shipwreck Joe would give an interesting poster, and the Chandleress or the Salty Fabulist might make interesting candidates. A Mr or Mrs Maywell: They say London's hat makers are the maddest of them all. And I want to learn more about the merchants. -- Μαρσ, A Londoner, Zubmariner, Chef, a Doctor, and an Invisible Eminence. All social actions are welcomed.

Dudebro Pyro Posts: 755 7/6/2018	I just had a genius idea: the Contrarian should run for re-election! It's not been done before, but that's why he's Contrarian, after all. A candidate hadn't run twice before him, either. And being who he is, he would almost certainly run with yet another completely different platform, which would avoid having a repeat campaign and keep things fresh and new. -- Dudebro Pyro, eccentric scholar Spare Starveling Kitties always welcome.

If not, I would totally support the Patchwork Rat for mayor. He'd probably implement a Neathy version of the Purge (mandatory Knife-and-Candle games?), and would finally put those horrendous creatures known as cats in their place. However, I'm not sure running for elected office would be his style. Well, I've been on the record in favor of giving our Little Brothers the vote for a long time. But it's already a tough sell. Aside from sheer human bigotry, you'd have London's substantial pro-cat votership to deal with, and yeah, Patches isn't much of a public speaker. Yet ... I have been longing for the Albino Rat to run, but I'm afraid that the pressures of the campaign might be a bit much for her. But as a team, they'd complement one another's weaknesses beautifully. She brings the eloquence, sophistication, high-mindedness; he brings the fire, the passion that comes from having hit rock bottom and being repeatedly stomped while he was down there, the stubbornness to keep fighting no matter how bad the odds look. Oh, they'd quarrel and despair of one another all the time, but they'd come to respect one another and work as a team. Could love possibly bloom between such rats of distinctly opposite character? Stop me before I write this up for Mr. Pages' Fabularities! -- Hieronymus Drake: Gentleman scholar, big-game hunter, scar-faced aristocrat. Remarkably sane, all things considered. Tanith Wyrmwood: Longshanks cat-burglar; Bohemian author; now, perhaps, something more. Bubbly, expressive, and affectionate. It’s not only still waters that run deep. Telemachia Lee: Gentle lady by birth, brawling Docker by choice. Good company in the drunk tank.

Gul al-Ahlaam Posts: 225 7/2/2018	As I do every year, I aggressively support the candidacy of the esteemed Doctor Carrywell. A natural philosopher of skill and renown, a master of the Neath's mysteries, and a subtle and conniving actor on the political stage. Sure, she's not especially popular or charismatic, but she's got a certain rough-edged charm and a passion for good coffee, which ought to endear her to the university crowd. There's no captain who could set a surer course for London's enlightenment. -- The Uncanny Hierophant. The Jewel-Eyed Prince.

Her business and managerial acumen would make her a potent mayor. She is strong willed and not easily intimidated. Game-content reasons: I want more Carnival content! I would also like to read more of her backstory. The Ambitious Barrister In-character reasons to run: She’s ambitious for one thing. She’s also well connected throughout London, including all of the People of Some Importance … who could ask for a finer starting position to run from? As a barrister, she has a fine legal understanding of Mayoral powers. Game-content reasons: Character development. Political Tigress In-character reasons to run: Arrogance.

They let Slowcake of Slowcake's Exceptionals run, not a committee of devils. We doubt latter would have flown. The big issue with non-humans running for election in-universe is the strong xenophobia that London feels towards its inhuman neighbors. In a city where devils are appalled, rubbery men are slaughtered by mobs, clay men are a borderline slave race, and species such as L.B.s and Snuffers are killed for sport, it can be presumed that only humans can hold office or vote. The loophole is that, so long as no one knows your candidate is secretly not a human or a stand-in for a non-human, all is well. Mr Slowcake is evidence of the fact, and characters such as Feducci and the Captivating Princess (one being an ubermensch of sorts and in league with a foreign power, the other with questionable legality as a candidate and questionable status as a human) show that anyone can run if they conceal their secrets well enough and people don't ask too many questions.

Not as a trio - I don't think they'd be very balanced together - but any of the three would promise an interesting mayoral story for me to look forward to. I myself would love to see the Bishop of St Fiacre enter office! I wonder, though, what platform he would take. Would it be the reformation of London's underbelly? Government benefit for those less fortunate? Providing protection to London's inhuman citizens, and perhaps offering asylum to Snuffers with a similar attitude of "do no harm" like the Bishop? This last option would most likely fall under some secret agenda of the Bishop's, but I would love to see how his church connections would take on the position as caretakers for those who wish for a life without secrecy and murder. edited by Sir Joseph Marlen on 7/3/2018 -- Sir Joseph Marlen - The Romantic Sophist Alexus Harven - The Defiant Fatalist Rose Reinhelm - The Respectful Revolutionary Cappuccino - The Perfidious Spycraft Available for any and all social actions.

The Urchins seem to be doing pretty okay mostly, but we can't ignore the misery of the lower working classes who really struggle to sustain themselves. The soft-hearted widow would be the ideal candidate to address these issues. I support her projects whenever she does some fund-raising but we need to think on a larger scale here.

I wish the Honey-Addled Detective had more story but I don't know if it would be in-character for him to run for mayor, but I've decided I don't particularly care and would vote for him anyway.

Rather curious a thing for a Soft-Hearted lady, I thought. -- Cathy Raymond http://fallenlondon.com/Profile/cathyr19355 Catherine Raymond aka Mrs. Rykar Malkus http://fallenlondon.com/Profile/Catherine%20Raymond (Gone NORTH)

They let Slowcake of Slowcake's Exceptionals run, not a committee of devils. We doubt latter would have flown. The big issue with non-humans running for election in-universe is the strong xenophobia that London feels towards its inhuman neighbors. In a city where devils are appalled, rubbery men are slaughtered by mobs, clay men are a borderline slave race, and species such as L.B.s and Snuffers are killed for sport, it can be presumed that only humans can hold office or vote. The loophole is that, so long as no one knows your candidate is secretly not a human or a stand-in for a non-human, all is well. Mr Slowcake is evidence of the fact, and characters such as Feducci and the Captivating Princess (one being an ubermensch of sorts and in league with a foreign power, the other with questionable legality as a candidate and questionable status as a human) show that anyone can run if they conceal their secrets well enough and people don't ask too many questions. Speaking of non-humans... That was my point, yep -- S.F., a midnight midnighter and invisible eminence. Impossible to locate them, personally, but there are dead drops and agents.

Ixc Posts: 365 7/6/2018	I’d say the Tentacled Entreupenuer, the Muffled Intriguer, the Laconic Progidy, and the Ambitious Barrister. Though I have the Barrister as an alt, so would she become Mayor too? -- Pleased to meet you. Ixc, spy and detective. Inventor of the Correspondence Cannon. Are you a Paramount Presence?
