I was forced into it, and with only one option.
I tried the reset, and it forced me BACK to that same ONLY ONE OPTION card.
Given that there is no way to get the rewards that new players are going to get, or see any of these changes, I expected the reset to throw me a little further back then that.
So, if the other levels reward things as nice as the aragag, and I'm never going to get them....
Bah, I'm not making sense, I'm too peterbed.

This content is primarily for lower level players.
New players aren't getting any reward you're not getting. There is no valuable item or special reward for the other options. It's just a way of gauging their progress. As you've already progressed out of the Court, picking an option to see where you are in the Court content would be counter productive.
You're not missing out on anything. I promise. The Airag is a nicer reward than anything else being offered to lower level players.
If you're really, really worried about it, you can always make up a new character and see for yourself.

Dammit all to hell, this update has confudled me no end, I decided to go back to an earlier phase of Veilgarden to see if there was some snippet of fun i may have missed and now im stuck writing about Honey!.. and locked out of the Shuttered Palace too. I gather im waiting on the Jewel Thief and the Heiress to throw themselves upon me but.. i erm was rather nasty to them and ditched them and have the Bitter Partings quality.
I feel like im now stuck in some honey addled nightmare trawling the backstreets of Veilgarden in a drunken stupor waiting to get humped by folks that hate me, its rather unpleasant and far too reminiscent of real life.
If my Jewel Thief / Heiress quality is 7 and my Bitter Parting quality is 1. Will i ever see them again? oh how i need a hug

All right, I'm a little stumped. I set mine incorrectly - my Persuasive is in the low 60s, but I've been having trouble with early Shuttered Palace content, so I foolishly assumed that if I set myself to an earlier stage I'd be able to replay content and grind up some more. So I'm now at 2, and I have no idea how to proceed from here.
I gathered that I'm supposed to write a short story to get to the next level - and I've written two today (one competent, one compelling) with nothing to show for it. Do I need to shoot for thrilling? I don't want to throw all of my Romantic Notions and Tales of Terror at this thing for naught.
OK, figured this out: you need a story with 40 potential, but it doesn't get converted into a short story item. When you go to complete your work, instead of the existing branches that let you choose from various acceptable-to-masterful-to-classic options, there's a new branch called "Make Your Name: Publish Your Story" that goes to the next phase of the tracker. Don't waste a whole lot of potential on this -- pages and potential are reset!

It would be nice if getting to the higher numbers of this property leads you to locking out some of the spam and junk cards in the deck.
What with the way the deck is changing...

For better or worse, I'm starting again from the lowest tier and due to confusion I've already used the one time access code. How do you progress in A Name Signed With A Flourish from 1 to 2?
I think I've redone all the relevant storylets, the Honey Sipping Heiress is still 7 from before the update, and I've just brought the Jewel-Thief up to 7.
Edit: Just read the previous advice about needing to draw a random opp card... Hmmm, how is this considered to be an improvement in user experience (compared to before)? It's not exactly obvious.

If you've been booted out of the Court, you already have a quality that shows where your progress is, and they don't need to query you for it. Therefore the only storylet you have is a celebration of the opera that resulted in that Fate, along with some gifts that set the right level.

The Posy of Flowers seems to be the reward you get for getting into the Shuttered Palace, which I think is the third tracker checkpoint for Persuasive. However, I can't seem to figure out where that third part is after doing the first two. I'm just wandering around Veilgarden in an Exquisite Ivory Gown looking for the Ambassador's Ball, like a glim-stained cinderella. Where's the ball? When will I be its darling again? Is this because I already have Route: the Shuttered Palace 1 , which didn't get zero'd out when Darling of the Ambassador's Ball did?

On my character who's still in Veilgarden, it's not immediately clear to me how the choices I'm being given map to the stuff I've done.
If I choose a point that's too early in the story (e.g. "exploring the wonders of the honeyed world" even though I've already interacted with the Heiress and have the Quality to show it), will things break?

I think that might've been a temporary issue, since my main is all finished with the Persuasive track and can still use the Duchess' Salon and entry to the Duchess' Salon options.

Nice! Thank you! That's a huge relief.  Both for grinding purposes, and text purposes re: Salon. (I do occasionally play the Unaccountably Peckish Salon option for no other reason than just to read the text~)
