Hmm, I've been aware of this coming up, but I'm still torn between the Jovial Contrarian and the Bishop of Southwark. I mean, Sinning Jenny's definitely out of the question since, well, I don't see her being fit to do anything except annoy Mr. Irons.
In the past I wouldn't have cared for the Bishop, but I have found that Hell's influence had been nothing but trouble, and the Diocesan Intrigues have been awaiting some catalyst, like, say, the Bishop becoming Mayor.
But the Jovial Contrarian's the most attractive option so far. He has a balanced view on things. That is, he has an unbalanced views on everything and so it cancels out. But nothing would ever get done without a dozen assassination attempts from peeved politicians.

On that, allow me to answer with a hearsay, courtesy of Kylestien.

While investigation seems to take less actions than usual, the flash lay takes just as many as always. Welcome to the slow ride fixers.

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%.

Who isn't funded by devils nowadays? Hell is an economic powerhouse. An economic powerhouse that shouldn't be hunting accountants in the Forgotten Quarter.

On the matter of support, Jenny actually seems to align more with my character's goals, and less prone to doing something horrible than the two.

Bishop's the biggest trainwreck, it seems, whether you support Hell or Church.
Jenny's a little bit less of a wreck than Contrarian, but both of them are on the saner side.

Doing something horrible is not necessarily a bad thing for everyone. Imagine the opportunities if Hell or the Calendar Council gets some breathing space. Heck, the latter is not even certainly horrible.

Could someone explain to me how to convert a compelling short story, once written, into public attention? I wrote the story but baffled what to do next.
EDIT: In case anyone else is confused by the same thing as me, you have to keep hitting the An Election! choice. It does not change its appearance to indicate you will now get a different result. But, you hit it once to select career, at least one to select candidate, and at least one to have access to the options related to advancing the career...

Sinning Jenny is amazing. There is more to her than Scarlet Stockings. She will be a wonderful Mayor of London.

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.

Go to the Election Storylet - there's an action to do so. You will see a clickable icon mixed in with the little requirement icons - click it - and you get a list of stories to sacrifice.

Damn, knowing the devils are funding the bishop almost makes my Scarlet Saint want to vote for him.

She's the closest to the Masters out of the three, particularly to Mr Wines. I imagine she represents some sort of status quo here.

Yes, but I've heard Mr. Veils hates her, which is enough reason for my character to support her :P

Investigation says she ditched Mr Wines and severed all Bazaar contacts, so make of that as you will.

Not so much.

I'm sorry, but due to policy clarifications, I will no longer be giving detailed mechanics advice on the forums.

And so does Mr Iron, by the way. Nobody's perfect, huh? But why the particular resentment towards Veils?

Now that's new and b___y bold. But still she's kind of an annoyance. Plus, Master Yourself!
