Seems as if A contact in the Great game has a tale for you now unlocks with Favours: The Great Game 5, even though the conversion hasn’t happened yet, and I don’t have any such Favours. Curious. I thought it would take longer, but now I can’t seem to find the text that mentioned roughly when this faction would be converted to Favours and Renown.
It was supposed to happen this week (no exact date given). I guess it has started.
And may Saint Joshua have mercy on us all…

Looks like the Great Game connection item presently only has the option that consumes it for increasing subtle, no connection or favour options.
Edit: Looks like the favour options got added as I was typing this. Heh.

Connected: The Great Game 366 was thankfully enough to convert to Renown 50: “You are the pawn who reached D8”.
No renown for me, by the looks of it. Sad Face.
Oh well, never mind eh.
It is under the story tab for some reason.
I had Connected: The Great Game 158, and I got 22 Renown and 7 Favours.
I went to the carnival to talk to some spies to get a renown increase, used 2 actions and some carnival tickets and got nothing.
What is the conversion item though?
This corresponds with a conversion factor of either 6 or 7 (depending if it rounds down or up)
It’s still the Copper Cipher Ring.
Not for me. I think I simply didn’t have enough Connected to get any Renown. I only got favours. I also just wasted two actions at the carnival. Talking to spies does nothing but lose you a carnival ticket and your actions currently.

Looks like the Carnival is working now.
I have no Renown so I can’t get anything yet, but I’ve been holding the Faction card in my hand for a few days.
The 10-Renown Item is named "A Subscription to the Gazette and a Whetted Pair of Scissors."
The Faction card now has an option to earn Favors ("Assist in a Stakeout"), whereas previously it did not have a way to increase Connected. It increases Wounds, presumably on account of the coffee.

Going back to use the Copper Cipher Ring, I have come to the uncomfortable realisation that it sounds an awful lot like the fidget spinner of FL-verse.

Thanks - I just docked at Port Carnelian as I thought it might be there. Time to get back to London I suppose.
[quote=Robin Alexander]78 connected got me 9 renown . . .
I’m pleased, as I wasn’t expecting even that much, to be honest, with conversion rates going as high as they have, and my character isn’t one for the Great Game anyway. Still, 7 favours will come in handy :)[/quote]
For anyone too lazy to pull up calc.exe, this puts the conversion factor at 6, which is even lower than Urchins was.
I basically sacrificed connected hell and constables in order to focus on The Great Game and it worked! I have renown 50! :D
I see what they did here! I bet it’s a hat!

Hahaha, thanks! Took an unwanted visit there some time ago and it’s not my favourite place due to dream loss. But sounds great! Time to get maaaaad! :D
