Nothing has been announced. I suspect there will be some reward, but don't feel bounced into spending lots of resources you don't have. The festival is only just starting and there's more content to come. I'm not 100% sure, but with limited stats and resources the best ways to progress at the moment are probably either waiting for the festival cards and/or doing investigations, since you don't *have* to use items to progress. Flash lays also don't cost anything, but I'm not sure how tough that is in terms of skill checks.

'Learn about the Candidates' storylet appears to be infititely repeatable for 0 actions while giving greyfields/candle stubs/clues as reward. I don't think it works as intended.

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.

One design flaw I’ve just experienced. If you accidentally click “change profession” or “change candidate” there’s no undo feature asking you “are you sure?” and giving you the opportunity to back out in case you make a mistake or have second thoughts.
Now, normally miss-clicks aren’t that big of a deal as the stakes are kind of low. This miss-click however could be rather problematic going forward. Right now, losing small amounts of progress is annoying. A week from now we could have situations where players who have 15 to 20 points of campaign career accidently click “change career/candidate” instead of the flash lay, investigation, publication, or election market and therefore lose half their progress right before the election concludes…
I think an easy fix would be to place the “change campaign/career” in their own “second thoughts” area. So we’d have:
1. An Election! London Must Decide!
2. Learn More About the Candidates!
3. Second Thoughts!

It's good to catch these problems early. Should I email Failbetter too? I hesitate because this is not actually a bug, just a design problem caused by an overcrowded interface.

I just changed profession twice and basically reset myself to get the boots and then change BACK to fixer, because I'm no pansy, I picked fixer and I WANT fixer...
I just wanted the boots quite a bit.
Now to find out if there's a faster way to be gaining then doing the lay and case...
20 pages of stuff to look for clues in...

Hahaha, that's the spirit, mate!
I was lucky enough that Campaigner suited my RP role, but don't worry as Fixers will get fixed.
I'm starting a guide, but it doesn't have all the existing info at the moment, but I hope it'll provide you with some useful information.

I'm about to do the same as Ben. I don't particularly want to be anything other than a Fixer, but I'll admit I do want those boots, and 3/4 of my levels is a price well worth paying. (I think the FATE is probably just as well worth paying as well, but that is a personal decision.)

I would. It doesn't seem likely that it's been deliberately made a candidate/career-jettisoning autofire. Like a lot of folk, I clicked on 'Change Candidate' mostly out of curiosity, to see if the Contrarian would do anything to keep me in the fold. I suppose it would be consistent for him just to shrug and let any wavering supporters go. But the other two would surely try something.
Also like a lot of people, I'm tempted to switch for fancy footwear, especially as I lack all notability and am only playing for story, and also picked Fixer (in the glorious tradition of party supporters everywhere, I'll die before I admit this was rash).
But I fear that if I sold out my bandaged colleague for a fine pair of boots, his response would be even drier than usual.

I just switched from Campaigner to Fixer and my professional level only halved *after* I chose Fixer (i.e. it as not reduced simply by clicking the 0-action storylet to change professions.

Thanks for the info, Dov! Updated the guide.
Let's hope someone who changes candidates will get the same behavior and posts about it to update that as well.

You think so? She wouldn't be the first politician to achieve personal power by making promises to the underclasses, but I think there might be more to her campaign than base populism. She's sacrificed a lot, breaking away from her wealthy and powerful patron, without even making political capital from that fact. The Sisters of the Abbey, too, might be her loyal allies, but they're not exactly loyal for loyalty's sake - they have a common mission, and don't seem the sorts to throw that away for a mere municipal election. No, I have a certain degree of faith that Jenny is sincere in her desire to improve the lot of London's poor and vulnerable, of defanging some of the city's terrors.
I have faith that Jenny will do her best for the people who campaigned for her, however I am under no illusion that she is doing this for them. She is doing this for herself, and her support for her constituency is mainly so that she can stay in power. She sees a chance at power and is grabbing with both fists, and I don't blame her for it. Rather like politicians in the real world.

Re: Boots -
As someone else has suggested, if you haven't made progress yet, and haven't selected a gift, then changing election profession won't lower your progress any. Which means you could change profession, pick up the boots, then change back to your preferred path.
Even if you have already selected a free gift, you could do that and purchase the boots with Fate.
Alas, I'm Fixer lv8, so that's *way* too late for me without losing 6 levels worth of progress and 30 Fate for what amounts to a +2 boost to my Watchful. But this might be a useful idea for others. ^_^

I wholeheartedly agree. Investigations have been pretty great. :-D

I just did that Kittenpox; switching from Fixer 3 > Campaigner, buying the boots with Fate, then switching back > Fixer. I think I came out of it Fixer 2. I'm not sure how that worked though, maybe you don't get a penalty if you switch back to something you were? Maybe my memory of the math is off (been a few hours)?
But, yeah, I totally did that. Really prefer being a Fixer, just really wanted some kind of Watchful footgear for late-game shenanigans.
