It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Sterne is incredibly determined to help the Implacable Detective win this election. Who would make a better mayor than someone who has decades of experience solving and resolving problems for a living? Nobody, that’s who. Especially not a snobbish, holier-than-thou old woman whose campaign relies mainly on promising to take London’s drinks and honey away (and put Mr Wines and Mr Spices out of business?! what impudence!), and a suspicious, possibly immortal bandage-man whose hobbies are (pretty much exclusively) “stabbing people” and “being stabbed”.

...Meanwhile Dr Beaky has put her full support behind the aforementioned stabby bandage-man, because he seems far more laid-back than the other two. Also she’s rather cross with the idea of giving up her honey and wine. how does she drink it anyway though

The Implacable Detective has really won me over with her “everyone should go to jail” policy.

What's coming

The Implacable Detective hands you a business card. One of her assistants finds you a nice blue rosette. "We can coddle ourselves with tea and reform, or abandon ourselves to liberty and licentiousness, or we can roll up our sleeves up and make a city that works." She is interrupted by the arrival of a Constable, bearing coffee. She grimaces but accepts the mug. "Can't be seen to be drinking tea while she's out and at it."

As she walks away, a Litigious Magician ushers you in the direction of the Emporium. "The Detective wants everyone to get what they deserve."

Skymaw has declared their allegiance. Somewhat eyebrow-raising, given their criminal inclinations, but there you have it.

It’s 1895 and Jenny’s time as Mayor is up—a new Mayor will be chosen!

The Election is free and is open to all players. It will begin Monday 26th June. Players will have two delicious weeks to choose an Election career and bolster support for their chosen candidate through a variety of actions. At the end of the first week of Election, we will announce which candidate is ahead. The final day of Election will be Monday 10th July.

This year, as part of the Fallen London Reworks, there will be new ways players can amplify their vote through social activities. Some methods will allow players to work cooperatively together to support their candidates, while others are more competitive in nature.

Join the revelry through the "An Invitation to a Ball" storylet, available throughout London. The three candidates up for the 1895 Election are:

- Feducci

- The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner

- The Implacable Detective

The elected Mayor will reign for one year, after which another election will be held. The winning candidate will have a Mayoral influence in your Opportunity Deck until next year's election, so consider who you support carefully. After the festival, there will be an opportunity to suggest candidates you'd like to see take up a Mayoral campaign for 1896.

No Election is complete without fliers, political cartoons, and other such materials. We invite you all to create and share your own!

This year we are also trying something new with the 1895 candidate posters, which we will be thrilled to announce next Monday when the festival opens.

 We cannot wait to see who you will choose, delicious friends...

Sinning Jenny’s time is up, a new Mayor will be chosen! This week, we announce the three candidates who think they can do a better job. Whom will you support?

Today we announce the final candidate!

The Implacable Detective declared last, apparently she wanted full dossiers on her opponents before she'd enter the ring! She bears the slogan: “The Only Logical Conclusion!”

The Detective's supporters march in trained formation. Many are Constables – or former Constables – and their steps recall old patrols along the cobblestones. Her frost blue banners are held aloft by Summerset professors. "London is rife with injustice. We need to take a firmer hand with the law.” Her eyes smoulder behind her glasses.

Tomorrow we’ll announce the full details of the festival, which will begin Monday the 26th of June and run for two weeks.

Delicious friends, the time has come: Election begins today. Sinning Jenny’s time is up and a new Mayor will be chosen!

“A carriage draped in sinful scarlet is stopped on a corner. A handsome footman in unduly tight livery hands you an envelope with gold lettering. "The Mayor invites you to a farewell soiree at Blythenhale Mansion.”

You are invited to participate in the city's second official Election.

The Election is free and is open to all players. It will begin today, Monday 26th June and end on the 10th July. Halfway through, we'll announce which candidate is in the lead.

Choose a candidate, and campaign! Gather Election Resources, and raise your Election Career Level to increase their support!

Join the electoral efforts now through the "An Invitation to a Ball" storylet, to explore the three candidates up for the 1895 Election: Feducci, the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner, and the Implacable Detective.

As part of the Fallen London Reworks project, players will be able to participate in two new social activities to help them amplify their vote:

Each political career will have its own unique social ability to further increase the impact of your vote—these social activity will be available throughout the entirety of the festival. 

The second social activity, Debates, will begin the second week of the festival

The elected Mayor will reign for one year, after which another election will be held. The winning candidate will have a Mayoral influence in your Opportunity Deck until next year's election, so consider who you support carefully.
