A most amusing opportunity

I came across the "Unraveling Arson" card today, and as my watchful was high enough I took the "Find the hired arsonist" option, which goes as follows
[spoiler]You do not find the arsonist, but the things you hear of them! A series of jewellery shop robberies. A passing acquaintance with high society. A series of wins at the ring fights. Entanglements with surface folk. Even forays into the arts of detection. Just who is this complex individual?[/spoiler]
It took me a second to realize, it's talking about the player! Or, A player at least. The failure option confirms it, asking if you are the one chasing, or the one being chased. There is a dangerous card, "Arson and Avarice", that plays the other end of this story.
Anyone else find anything recently that amused them greatly?

I believe there was another opportunity card that was the Persuasive equivalent. I forget the exact wording, but [spoiler]seducing a maid to get into Slowcake's Exceptionals[/spoiler] was definitely mentioned.

Like this. Make the text white with the color pad.

Oh. Well, that was really obvious, in retrospect. I feel stupid now. Thanks anyway.

Also, it might be useful switching to HTML visualization (the rightmost tab), or you won't able to see what you're writing either ^^
