Has anyone else found that its frequency of occurence has dropped off rapidly int he last week or two?
I'm fortunate to work where I have free reign over a computer, and can play throughout the day - so I get to flip plenty of cards on any given day.
The gentleman used to come buy more regularly than I had 'Making Waves' to transfer over.
I've now had a couple of weeks where the new mechanic of losing scandal, irrigo, wounds + making waves & notability have come and gone - and he hasn't shown up at all, in any location.
Can you now only access him via a fate expense from your lodgings?
...I've stopped using my orphanage to boost my Making Waves as it's far too expensive to risk no payoff. I can get about 10 Making Waves purely through opportunity cards in a given week, maybe more without it though, and he doesn't show.
To the devs, if you have dropped the frequency of the card, may I humbly suggest it's now too low. At least as far as someone who has the option to flip cards all day can tell, after a couple of weeks.

You can force him to come through Society and Scandal without any Fate cost. I also think this is a case of the RNG being cruel towards you, since the card seems as frequent as it has always been.

At no point would I ever have called this card frequent. It's always been painfully rare for me.

Yeah, I only just found out (by hunting through things) that if you go to "Attend to Matters of Society and Scandal..." in your lodgings, having Making Waves 15 enables a storylet that allows you to instantly draw the card by spending a miniscule bit of that Making Waves.

It varies some weeks I haven't seen him at all and my Notability has dropped, other weeks I see him two or three times. That's the RNG for you

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.

Thanks to all for the rapid and informative replies, but especially this one.
I'd forgotten it was there, as it used to just be a quick way to 'shrug off scandal'. Much obliged.

Yep. I kinda wish it wasn't buried that deep. Ah well. (And yeah; it's bizarre, the rate of coming. I JUST drew him, after attending a Salon. I wonder if the arrival rate is tied to your Making Waves? Is that even possible? Maybe it's just random.)
