Here’s this week’s quick questions thread!
I just noticed that some Exceptional Stories are labeled as "premium stories". What’s the difference?
(Having played most of them, I’d assume they’re "premium" because those specific stories unlock permanent rewards like cards or unique items).
Edit: Waitaminute. HOJOTOHO isn’t listed as a premium story despite awarding new options for certain faction cards.

Premium Stories are the ones that weren’t offered as part of Exceptional Friendship.
I recently tried to play with my Parabolan Kitten but can’t seem to find the option anymore. It’s still green bordered but there doesn’t seem to be a way to actually interact anymore, there’s no button on the hover text.
It’s a silly little thing but I was wondering if you knew if there’s a new way to enter companion storylets.
Just clicking on the Kitten should give you a pop-up with the option to either Use or Equip it.
If you click on the kitten’s image you should get the options to “use” or “equip”. Use gives the option to play with it.
After almost four? five? years of keeping the Route to the Nadir a secret, I accidentally sold it to Hell while half-asleep mistaking the Hell card for Virginia’s mayorship card. AUGHH!!! Adding insult to injury, had I meant to sell the route, it’d be to the Great Game or Revs…definitely not Hell. I don’t suppose there’s any way to undo this?
Unfortunately, I don’t think this is a matter you could send a support ticket over. Failbetter typically don’t allow for the reversal of actions, even if they are accidental. In this case, selling or keeping the route is largely a roleplay decision and doesn’t really have much effect on the game as a whole aside from setting your closest to: quality to that faction and giving you a rare item. At least you can control your personal narrative and decide how you might have lost that information to hell. Mistakes can sometimes make for interesting character development.
Huh, I suppose I’ve only been swapping the kitten out while in Parabola and never tried it in London proper. Thanks.
I wonder how many people had this happen to them. If selling the location was in some special storylet at your lodgings it would be so much better. I almost sold it 2 or 3 times myself.
You’re like the fifth or sixth person on this forum who had this happen. We could really make it a club! (By the way, I even had to sell the Ivory Organza due to SMEN. I pay those devils back once a year during the Feast of the Rose by getting close to one of them while masked and then surprise them with my stained soul)
Based on previous Elections - would we expect the Electoral Opportunism storylet to remain available longer than the Further your Reputation card?
Mechanically, is there a risk of running out of time to trade in Reputation for cash without warning? (I’d see not drawing the card for 24 hours as a warning I suppose.)

I’m curious about this too.
For some other events like Christmas, the trade in is longer available than the gain, so I would expect it for the Election too. But an official word about this would be good.
