Malthaussen's Young Turks Club has been a huge help to me and I am sure to many others just starting out in Fallen London (So go join up!). Having, through some terrible clerical errors and backhand dealing, just become a PoSI, I find that I now have a whole strange new world of questions to ask. So in an act of shameless plagiarism (and to keep the Young Turks for new players' questions) I've made this thread as a sounding board for others in the same situation as I find myself now.
- A little celebratory music for those who have just become PoSI - Very Well Done! -
In keeping with the thread title- Mozart, JB Lully, and what they were both trying to copy. I like Lully best but I'm biased- and yes I know  .

So first question - do I need to worry about making waves and notability yet? Thank-you :-)

Should I cancel the loitering invitation that you sent to Fei Xue? It will drop Making Waves, sadly...
I could send you a point of Notability later (someone else might beat me to it) but I am currently at Zee...

Every point of BDR makes getting Notability easier so I would wait until you get some of the BDR POSI items (God's Editors; transport and a club at least).

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

Thank-you both! Looks like I'm going to need to go and spend some time reading the wikis. I have a couple low level BDR's already, so hopefully they'll be a little useful.
@Sestina - Don't worry - I could certianly use the Warning Note. Thank-you, that very kind, but my charismatic patron beat you with the Notability already.

For new PoSIs, Notability is primarily a concern if you want to upgrade your profession in a hurry. Joining a Club, acquiring Transport, and being hired by God's Editors all provide a significant boost

There is no low level or high level BDR. For hat, cloth and gloves you only can get one point of BDR from equipment. Goats have high BDR and they are months of grinding. The expanded inventory have good BDR which have been mentioned in earlier posts (God's editor, transport, home comfort, ship). Iron republic journal is also nice.

Ah thank-you, my mistake. Still getting my head around the system.- Sorry again, do i understand right -its (20 - BDR) + 4N = amount of Making Waves needed to raise Notability by one? Therefore if you have 0N and 0BDR its 20? I've first read it as 20MW -(BDR + 4N) and got really confused.

That is correct: the amount of Making Waves required is 20-BDR+4N. That's why BDR are so crucial to reaching high notability.
Easy way to start gathering your BDR are joining clubs/Affiliations and acquiring good items. Here's a list: http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/Bizarre%2C_Dreaded%2C_Respectable_%28Guide%29
Other than the obvious things like joining a club (both are equal), an affiliation (Orphanage or God's Editors) and getting a Sedan, I recommend you look into getting an Unfinished Hat from Polithreme and a Republic Journal from the Iron Republic. Or spending Fate.

Wow, you've really impressed Hobnail, he used a complete sentence!
I hope to be joining you soon among the Janissaries. Good idea! Meanwhile, you should read Tim Powers and Jerry Pournelle.

It's the first point of notability which is the hardest: after that one, you'll have a bit more control over the process as you'll be able to call for the card when you're ready.
That said, it's possible to gift a point of notability. People are usually quite happy to help - I would myself. One thing I would mention is that you'll need to be formally acquainted - calling cards are necessary.

I have just spent all day with the blonde barrister and I believe I am just a velocipede shy of being a POSI. Am I understanding that correctly?

If you are in the Bazaar side-streets then yes.

For all those about to make the transition to PoSI (have the Side Streets and just assembled the Velocipede,) I suggest you use Nikolas Pawnbrokers items in the Bazaar to remove your Menaces before transitioning. After you are a PoSI, they either do not work as well or even can become addictive while losing efficiency (Laudanum.) This is your last chance to get the most bang for your Buc...err, Echo!

I only recently remembered the various menace-removal tonics as a near-cap PoSI, so it's a little strange to be told my abuses have made me resistant. Some sort of quality tracking use might be useful. But yes, get the most effect for your Echo while you can!

@Optimatum: Like being told you have been approved for a credit card for which you did not apply. "Act now! One-Time Offer!" (What they don't tell you is that the one time is continuous)
