Thank you to ixc for maintaining the thread! Made PP a week or two ago.
London’s Blood 1 - Supreme in luxury
London’s Marrow 1 - Money, Money, Money!
London’s Nerves 1 - Starry wisdom
London’s Sinew 3 - A true companion
I’m usually a monster hunter, but it’s fashionable to change professions with the new lab and parabola camp.
I am officially a Paramount Presence and very proud of that fact

Finally grinded out PP on both my main characters, hwoosh and R Fellow Oswho (profile links in signature, and I’ve put the Ancient Regime qualities on the scrapbook of each.).
Currently, hwoosh is a Correspondent and R Fellow Oswho is a Crooked-Cross, but that’s just temporary; I’m not particularly wedded to any of the professions, and occasionally switch them around.
It is done. Fallen London
Blood: 3
Marrow: 2
Nerves: 2
Sinew: 2
I’ve been sitting on 3/4 for maybe 3 months or so, dithering around because none of the Sinew qualities really appealed to me. But times changing made me make up my mind, and I decided to advance the Liberation from 18 to 50 in a week and a half.
But only, and I want to reinforce this, only because I’ll be able to un-do it all later. My self-stated goal is to wipe it entirely by sometime in July. Won’t that be something.
I identify as a Crooked-Cross, although I did switch professions four times during the Feast of the Rose. On the balance, this seems altogether characteristic of a Crooked-Cross.
Oh, put me here as I finished the grind last Sunday and this in less than 10 days! :) Quite a rush it was. :)
Here’s what Skinnyman, the author, prizes the most:
London’s Blood 2 - Happy in love
London’s Marrow 2 - Jewels in your crown
London’s Nerves 1 - Starry wisdom
London’s Sinew 1 - Delight in Death
The numbers for those interested:
Was at 8 Nota with no progress for PP, but had almost all requirements unlocked. In the first week after the announcement, 16 Orphanage invitations were sent and 3 mood cards discarded. This was to get to N15 and prepare to get the rest in less than 2 weeks so I won’t miss any Nadir visit.
After TtH hit Friday, 24th, I bathe in Irrigo and started the 3 cycles. In the following days, 70 more Orphanage invitations were sent, 8 more mood cards discarded and 13 Bazaar auctions took place. :)

So that is the reason for the changes to Paramount Presence–the Bazaar is trying to collect auction fees to pay off players who completed Nemesis!
Just a couple of announcements/questions for all you delicious friends.
1: The most pressing: what would you like to do about the upcoming changes to Paramount Presence? Should the list continue on this thread, on the same post, or a new post? Or a whole new thread?
2: Related to the first: Once this change is made, I can change the descriptor of ‘Member of the Ancient Regime’ to something else.
3: Just to clarify, you don’t need to post your London’s Flesh qualities, but feel free to do so. In fact, if any of you would like, I can start including these under your listing.
4: At some point, I’m going to try and standardize the descriptors and what item/quality they match to, and somehow put it here for public knowledge. I’m not sure if I’ll get around to it, but now that my first year of college is over and quarantine is here, I do have a lot of time.
Congratulations once again to those on this list, and those that will be, and good luck to all with Whitsun tomorrow! (Omelets, anyone?)
Separate them, but keep recording would be my preference. Just have an “end of old regime” on the list. Thanks so much for maintaining this!
Laethiel, a Midnighter who marked himself to never forget his snow-friend, has achieved paramount presence quite a few months ago, but did not notice that thread until today. He was too busy getting his hands on a very rare wine. Very rare indeed.
London’s Blood 2 - Happy in love
London’s Marrow 1 - Money, Money, Money!
London’s Nerves 2 - Caprine understanding
London’s Sinew 1 - Delight in Death
Made Paramount on my second character,October, a few days ago. Strictly speaking he’s a Licentiate, but he just kills in general.

Thaddeus Wren made it the hard way – just in the nick of time!
He is a Correspondent and proud owner of a Gilded Crustacean

Solange Dovera-Rooke made Paramount Presence just yesterday, after selling a lot of eggs. They are a Midnighter, a Sanguine Duelist, in proud possession of a Vial of M_____'s B____, and discoverer of an Impossible Theorem.

Alysanne Watson became a Paramount Presence in April.

I must admit London’s Sinew was the hardest choice
Jermion, known here as Jermaine Vendredi, has the honour of being a Paramount Presence.

I ascend as one of the Old Guard with barely 2 weeks to spare.
Though whether I’ll stay as a Correspondent who is fond of her Watchfulness is hard to say.
Ten thousand lumps of lamplighter beeswax converted to memories of light, in the most inefficient way possible. The great work will continue, of course, but this part of it is done.

I took a three-year hiatus from playing the game, before Paramount Presence was something you could strive for. But I had accumulated a lot of resources before then, and when I returned I found the only thing I was missing was the stats (None were at 200. Dangerous was closer to 150.), and about 10 levels of Advancing the Liberation of Night. I only had to sell about 2/3 of the Fidgeting Writer souls from my collection to raise the 10,000 echos. Dreams were easy. I had found myself married to the Devout Intriguer almost by accident. Revolutionaries pay well for their favors, but I still needed a lot of beeswax to push me over the line.
In these final days of the Ancien Regime, Captain Meradine Heidenreich has fulfilled a long-held aspiration and become a Paramount Presence.

A week ago, Ambystoma maculatum joined the Ancient Regime. He’s been known to dabble in various Professions, but his true calling is that of the Correspondent.

Thank you to all who helped me along the way, in particular the Crooked-Crosses who spoke at my salon, sometimes three or more times in a single day.
I just made Paramount Presence 4 days ago (and finished Nemesis 2 days ago, as a reckoning had been postponed until I could make PP!)
Norathar is now a Paramount Presence of the Ancien Regime, a Correspondent. Persuasive was my first specialty and Watchful the last.

I’m now off to get my last 5-card lodging (have to grind Notability back to 9 for the Brass Embassy suite), and after that I suppose I’ll be adrift and in search of a new goal.
