from the looks of the forum, I'm the first to get this new card? had 3 options; a help a friend, a cheat a friend, and a go solo option so you could pursue this story without relying on friends. doesn't look like you need to wait for people to have started the story before being able to help friends if the list of my available peeps is any indication.

I've had it twice, and just received a card entitled "Revolution and Coffee" which requires level 3. Options to listen to either the Photographer or the Jovial Contrarian as they debate revolution.

SPOILERS

Card: Revolution and Coffee (unlocked at 2)
Caligula's Coffee House is full well into the evening. The Affluent Photographer is advocating the cause of Revolution to a Jovial Contrarian.


Options:
Listen to the Affluent Photographer:
The Affluent Photographer is enumerating the virtues of revolutionary change over a steaming mug. Listen to her arguments while the coal fire crackles
Result: Softly Spoken

The Affluent Photographer speaks quietly between sips of the expensive number four special. '..and even you can see that we can't go on like this. The city is shrinking every year. Some of the Northern boroughs are half-abandoned already. is this what is left of the Empire? No. We cannot allow the masters to holdour reins any longer. There's no need to think about what happens after - we'll sort ourselves out, no doubt.'


You've lost 3x Trailing the Affluent Photographer
An occurrence! Your 'A Marked Month' Quality is now 1!
An occurrence! Your 'The Photographer and the Contrarian' Quality is now 1 - Favouring the Affluent Photographer!
You've gained 50 Whispered Secrets.

Listen to the Jovial Contrarian:
The Jovial Contrarian advocates stability above all else. Listen to him speak while you sip one of Caligula's less volatile offerings.

I greatly enjoy meeting delicious new friends and participating in deliciously exciting new adventures! Please feel free to drop a card to meet for dinner, exchange favors, give an interview, or any other activity that comes to mind. I DO particpate in exchanges requiring Fate, BUT you must contact me first; twitter, facebook, or here on the forums via PM.

Note: I am currently exchanging parcels with a large number of dear friends and my parcel opportunities are rare. I am always willing to exchange but your rate of return may be rather slow. To find others to exchange with I recommend the Starveling list.

Social invitations of all kinds welcome, especially games of chess and deadly sparring!

Also happy to help with nightmares, send sips of Cider, and plant battle.

If you side with the Contrarian:

Spoilers:
Holding forth
Who made this storylet?
The Jovial Contrarian bangs on the side of his wheeled chair to emphasise his points. '..but that's exactly what I'm saying! No revolution has ever improved the lot of the people the leaders purport to represent. And even you must have noticed we're in a somewhat exotic environment. How do you think we'll fare down here without the protection of the Masters? Good God, is that the time? You must excuse me, I'm afraid, as I have a party to attend...'

You've lost 3 x Trailing the Affluent Photographer (new total 0). [?]
An occurrence! Your 'A Marked Month' Quality is now 1!
An occurrence! Your 'The Photographer and the Contrarian' Quality is now 2 - Favouring the Jovial Contrarian!
You've gained 50 x Whispered Secret (new total 380).

Can someone choose to team up with me? I only need one more Trailing the Affluent Photographer and already have the card to turn them in, in my hand.

It brings me great sadness to not even received the first card. I'm sure this is a foolish question, but are their any requirements? Or am I merely being impatient?

When I used the card it used up two certifiable scraps. So if you don't have any of those you might need them to get the card.

You can use certifiable scraps if you don't want to use the social option, but it didn't appear to be locked without them.

I've got a card with an option that allows me to start both myself and a friend on this investigation. If you tell me your twitter handle I can invite you along.

Second Card: [spoilers]

Fleecing the innocent

The Affluent Photographer heads off for lunch at the Bethlehem and leaves you to it.
The actual job is simplicity itself. The new arrival somehow ended up in New Newgate, but he still has the little package. He's too busy looking at his new city to notice you picking it from his pocket and secreting it into your hat.
The package is a set of postcards. A pine forest at noon. Waves crashing on rugged shores. Light and life. One of them is duplicated - nobody will miss just one. The Cause will understand.
You've lost 3 x Trailing the Affluent Photographer (new total 0). [?]
An occurrence! Your 'A Marked Month' Quality is now 2!
An occurrence! Your 'The Photographer and the Contrarian' Quality is now 1 - Favouring the Affluent Photographer!
You've gained 1 x Vision of the Surface (new total 4).
Connected: Revolutionaries is increasing...



end spoilers

I find it interesting that there was only the option to aid the Photographer, despite my earlier choice. Perhaps there is a card for the other side of the story?
