I'm glad I picked what I thought was right before looking at the forum.
I'd have ended up somewhere else, with goals divergent from my normal behavior to get some of those rewards.

Or you can do it my way: grind up to 20, change profession twice to get the boots, change it again because misclick, then grind back to 20 once more.

And here am I, two points away from watchful 200 (modified), 65 case notes, and a nice cushion of money made by selling compelling rethoric for collated research, so I'll have enough to finally open my school/orphanage (and start grinding money again for ray-drenched cinder *sigh*). This is a great time for detective characters!

Not politically apathetic, just easily distracted by intellectual work. Not trusting any of the candidates helps, too. (Besides, I just can't be bothered to do flash lays and write short stories for public attention. I suppose I'll do some at some point.)

IMO, role-play is far more important than min-maxing, so I think you made the right move.

Ditto. I chose what I felt was right for my characters, and while those boots are pretty snazzy I figure there's always next year for Sara to pick them up. No biggie.

They just added it today. It seems painful, but it's certainly better than not getting the best shoes until next year.

My campaign choices were well-suited to my characters, actually. The Bishop is focusing his efforts on Society, Constables, and Church--and with the exception of Society (which fluctuates because of Making Waves), those are the factions my main character has the highest Connected values in. My alt has gone for Sinning Jenny, and her highest Connections are with the Bohemians.

I'm not too pleased with my reward, perhaps those who where helping the one who won got better.
On the other hand there was reward in turning the extra meterals into making waves. I actually will be reaching 11 notability this week, instead of just maintaning 10.
I'm not entirely sure that next year I won't just squander the materials on myself instead of ranking up.
