Here's this week's thread for questions you want answers to, and vice versa! If you want a quick pointer for where to grind Romantic Notions at cap, or who's maintaining the current directory of London's most melancholy souls, here's the place to ask.

Is there a way to read a story result you have neither in your journal, nor can get back to? (Ambition: Light Fingers 48)
In your Myself tab, under "Ambition" you can click on the red button(I forgot the text) to see text from your ambition.

By "Start it" do you mean "gain the Plotting Against the Masters quality" or "have enough stats and connections to get the nag card"?
My character loves the Masters and hates the Revolutionaries.

You get the card by getting the Plotting Against the Masters quality, but you can always change your mind. If you do carry out their commission, however, you're stuck with the card.

I only did that out of curiosity, and because I was explicitly told I could accept the commission for the money rather than out of sympathy with the revolutionary cause, which I've never had. Much good it has done me...

The Duke of Waltham welcomes requests for assistance from those troubled by menaces, and His Grace's townhouse is always open to visitors who will not attempt to steal the silverware or extract support for yet another ill-advised scheme concerning photographers.

"REMINISCE about your adventures", apparently. I had no idea about this, myself. Thanks!

Wiwo. Almost certainly not a squid in a cunningly tailored suit. Surely.
 Care for some cider? Here's how to ask me for some. Strange pranks strongly preferred.
Care to pet a Heptagoat? Too bad. It doesn't do anything (probably).
I'm a Correspondent and would be delighted to lecture at your orphanage.

So, I just came back to FL from a long absence and started my character over. I'm primarily Persuasive, and want to focus on the Great Game (not the smartest combination, I know), but I'm not sure where to go to increase either of those further. Persuasive is 43, so I'm not really high enough to do stuff in the Palace yet (and can't afford to get there anyway), but everything I'm finding is either extremely unlikely to succeed or 100% and gives almost no Persuasive gain. Am I missing something? Should I just keep playing cards and hoping? And on the Great Game (4, currently), I can't really find any ways to increase it much. I've done the Tattooed Courier storylet, but everything else that seems to increase it requires higher than I have to start. So yeah, could definitely use some pointers on both counts.
Also, it feels so, so good to be back.
The GG Is hard to increase in general. I would recommend getting a sulky bat for early-game gains. You may want to increase your church connection a little to run into their conflict card and farm GG that way.
Definitely a tricky connection. You might stop by the carnival sideshows to get it up to 5 (in range of conflict cards), then convert Church faction to Great Game.
Check out this guide. It has some other suggestions that could help around the edges.

How's a good way to burn off my Connected: Revolutionaries and earn some swag in the process? I want to cut ties with them and switch to something more amenable for Counting the Days, but I've got ~50 in the stat and it seems a shame to waste it.
