Exciting times, with so much content being reworked! But here's the thread for content we already know about, and sharing that knowledge among ourselves!

I have been camping in the flit, 7 urchin favors at hand, trying to draw the Favors in the Flit card and exchange them for scraps. Am I doing something wrong, or am I just unlucky?

I really, really don't get why Favors in the Flit is an opportunity card, when cashing in favors at, say, the Palace or Wolfstack Docks is just a basic story option. With the ongoing conversion to Favors, where the amount you can stockpile has a hard cap, having to wait for the card means skipping other options which come up - some of which may only have shown because you have a supply of urchins favors squirreled away. So I don't have an answer, but I definitely sympathize. Just recently I was in a similar boat with Criminals - I had the card to start acquiring a gang of hoodlums saved in my hand, and while I was waiting for "A visit" or "Alleys of London" to come up, the deck had the nerve to serve me "an implausible penance". Grrrr.

Yes, it hardly makes sense. Plus, I can always use surplus Criminals in an expedition or a heist while Urchins and Revolutionaries are only usable in a few conversions.

Favours in the Flit is much, much more profitable than the other "Call in Favours" stories. The revolutionaries turn in would become by far the best grind in the game or else be nerfed. The Urchins and Criminals turn ins are also above par and would suffer a similar fate.

Recently, my debit card has expired and I need to transfer my Exceptional Friendship over to my new card. However, when going to account settings, I don't see anywhere to cancel my Exceptional Friendship. Is it somewhere else, or am I missing something in plain sight?

How do I find out which Exceptional Stories I've actually purchased and played? I have a story that appears as unlocked on Myself page under the Story bar ("You have unlocked an Exceptional Story: 'The Seven-Day Reign'. Begin it by playing the "An Exceptional Story: the Ragged King" card in London."), but on Fate page it shows as not purchased. And needless to say, there's no "An Exceptional Story: the Ragged King" card to be found. I don't remember if I've played or even purchased this story, as it's from over a year ago, but maybe someone can shed some light on the matter.

Since the last weekly questions got closed before someone answered me, I'm going to ask again. Can I get engaged to somebody, get a bunch of urchin favours, and then cancel the wedding?

You get the favors from the wedding party, which I don't think you can back out of in the middle. Leaving your spouse-to-be at the altar would be tragically good fun, though.

You can always get divorced immediately afterward.

Good info as well! smile Gets me an idea about The Haunting at the Marsh-Houses!
But I was talking about the rewards; exact menace reduction, scrap amount, etc. smile

So plan a small size wedding, get favours and interrupt the whole thing? I don't think this is possible.

Sounds like a matter for support.

Oh, you mean the card option unlocked? I think it's -3 CP Suspicion and 1-4 Scraps. The CP might be a range too though, I'm not quite sure.

Why in Zeus' name does the item "What might be a thunderbolt" boost shadowy? I am absolutely boggled as to the reasoning behind that.

Mechanical reasons, most likely. It really ought to have been dangerous, or perhaps watchful.

So the announcement that Great Game faction would be converted to the favors/renown system in June took me by surprise. I'm sitting on barely having 80 Connected in it after playing for a little over a year. Any suggestions for grinding it up as much as possible before the conversion? So far I've been doing all my visits with the Wry Functionary, sending out my Sulky Bat, and contributing to the Tipsy Spy's alcoholism in Veilgarden.

Here's an old post which will help you! Problem is TGG doesn't have a decent grind that isn't card based.
