I'll probably decide by tonight; at work at the moment and pretty busy!

Also there are now two change candidate options. One costs fate and one does not. I assume one of those options is supposed to be change career.

Arrrghh!! I wish I had read this before making a choice. I'm stuck with the worst job, and I've missed out on the boots! There doesn't even seem to be an option to change your choice. Waiting a year for another chance at the boots is going to be really really annoying.
Yeah, I made that mistake, too . . .
I thought the item was temporary, too, so I may have missed out on an awesome piece of footwear.
Ah well, live and learn. My stats - save for Dangerous - are maxed out, so I should be able to grind short stories relatively easily once I get my action points refreshed . . . I'm just finishing a flash lay at the moment. This also came right in the middle of my 'Fidgeting Writer' grind, so I may just give up on this festival and focus on that . . .
The festival I'm most looking forward to is the Zee Festival, as I need to tweak my destiny XD
(So glad I can't change destinies for this one, as I also maxed out my bank account, so I would have lost out - oops) XD

I fear I chose my career on the basis of RP. Guess I should've come here first, nice boots.

Don't worry. London will be chock full of writers by the evening anyway...

The fate option is there so you can change candidate without losing your progress. No intended career changes, I'm afraid.

Well... Blast. I wish I'd known about the career-specific items prior to selecting a career. I suppose I'll be waiting for the next election then.

I have a complaint: the Boots are described as "crimson", but the item art shows them as black!
*stamps foot* I want my Crimson Boots!

So, are you the one who blew up the Brass Embassy?

D__n, I wish I'd gone for those now, since I need all the Watchful I can get for Seeking and my Persuasive is already maxed.
It might be helpful if we could get a description underneath the various items showing which stats they increase, as with certain other items, since they're very difficult to change without Fate.

What's known about the candidates?
Sinning Jenny is a member of the Sisterhood of Abbey Rock and a known associate of Mr Wines. She mainly appears in Ambition: Bag a Legend!
The Bishop of Southwark is a vehement campaigner against Hell and very fond of a good bit of Christian shouting. He turns up in the Fourth Coil of the Labyrinth of Tigers and the associated Fate extension, where he's looking to breed some beasts to hunt down devils.
The Jovial Contrarian seems to stand for whatever view is the opposite of the person he's speaking to, and he's connected with the Revolutionaries. He can be found at the 'A Polite Invitation' parties and a few other places besides.

Thank you! I'll support the Bishop, I think. He will make a good civil servant. And I remember from some card that he fought devils in some long-ago campaign. Such experience comes in handy in a devil-infested city!

As an aside, I find it rather humorous that the icon for the Pre-Lapsarian Speaking Trumpet is a rifle. As a speaking trumpet, I expect one would hold it up to one's mouth in order to speak?

OMG the game totally freezes for me all the time. Guess I'll wait until the furore has died down a little...

Of course the election started right in the middle of my flash lay AND a particularly costly abition-related investigation. :P I also remind you, fellow citizens, that a vote for the Jovial Contrarian is a vote for the bright future of Fallen London.

So, I've decided to do a little bit of digging on all three candidates. My first task? The Good Bishop's secrets.
[spoiler]Whether he knows it or not is quite the other matter, but it would seem as though he is being funded by several devils who are regulars at Dante's Grill. if they are devils of note playing for power or a bunch pulling a prank is still unknown, but anyone voting for the Bishop under the pretense of kill the devils needs to think twice. [/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

Complaints so far. Investigations require university access to finish. Investigations don't tell you when you are ready to finish.

Maintaining a controlling interest in my soul requires a pretty constant negotiation between the various shareholder interests. Thankfully the Fingerkings 23% control makes a pretty good foil to unite the other factions enough to get to 51%.

Why do you need the university?
I agree that not directing to the finish when you have enough progress is annoying.

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.

To anyone still undecided, I hope you keep in mind the following fact: the rat-lord, may he burn eternally, has publicly and decisively endorsed The Jovial Contrarian.

The university was the only place that I could finish. There wasn't a finish option at any of the starting locations. Spite, Veilgarden, etc.
