With Seeking being back with a vengeance, I'm trying to get my head around the changes.
I had 3 candles already (A, B and D) and a few levels of SMEN. But now things seem to have changed and I'm trying to get my head around it.
It seems to me that these new Unaccountably Peckish menace cards work by letting you take a non-Marsh Mired option once a week and then you have to wait for Time to take that away. But those options seem to grant a level of SMEN.
Once you have Marsh Mired you can only pick the other options which are all significantly damaging. And I'm not sure that they grant any SMEN - I don't think they do. Is that about right?
Also, I've noticed a limited time opportunity to bail on Seeking and part of me is tempted to do so just to see it through from the start with the new version, but I've made so much sacrifice to get this far I don't know if I can do it again.
While I understand why it's like that, I've always wondered what I've missed out on when content changes after I've already played up through most of it but I'm nervous of what it might cost me to get those three candles a second time. 
Anyone else got any information to share on how Seeking has changed?

It's very much up in the air right now. At the moment it seems many of the original Seeking-related cards have been converted to require increasing levels of Peckishness, and TtH increases Peckish if you have it. But who knows if that will remain the case.

Yeah, the more I played around with it, I definitely got the sense that the new menace cards were mostly reconfigured versions of the old Seeking cards.
But it does give Peckishness more teeth as a menace though as it seems you can only play one of the menace cards relatively harm free in a given week, but you'll draw so many of them in a week you may be tempted to play more anyway and it'll hurt.
For now I've lowered Peckishness to 0 so I can continue chasing my other projects without the cards getting in the way. When I'm ready to Seek again I'll have to go look for a way to get PEckish again I guess.

If you have a Starveling Cat, sending it to another player gives you a point of Peckish. Then once you have two you can switch to speaking in the Duchess's salon, though beware of the high nightmares gains.

Oh! It doesn't seem like many people know this, but if you have a Starveling Cat and need Peckish gain, go to the Flit. Under the "Making Use of Cats and Bats" card, and then the "cats..." card, you can speak to your starveling cat for +3 UP at any time!

Hmmm may I ask how did you lower your peckishness? The roasted chestnuts card that used to appear when you have peckishness is no longer available for me and I really need to get it lowered.

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.

Thanks, but I haven't advanced so far because I didn't want to kill the Duchess's vet. Guess I will have to kill the poor soul then.

On the note of the Labyrinth, the Mr Pages' Stall rare success still exist, and still gives you a point of SMEN for nothing. Don't know if there's a cap or not though. Curse you rare success on a Long Shot luck challenge!

In your lodgings, you can buy the access to the Labyrinth for a bunch of rats.

I would recommend not buying access to the Labyrinth with rats. Iirc you get given access to the Labyrinth when you hit A Name Scrawled in Blood 7, and buying access without that means you can't progress further than the entrance.
If that's not the case, the old strategy may still apply - after getting A Name 7, use the temporary pass on the Labyrinth card to go there, and don't leave until you have Making Progress in the Labyrinth of Tigers 8. At that point meeting the Tiger-Keeper should result in being given more than enough rats for the original purchase price.
