'Twas Monday, and the weekly Q's,
Did ponder and wonder in the thread;
All answers were the forumites,
And the thanks were said.

I haven't come across it before and wondered how it works mechanically and what it does :-/
We've just been talking about it on the IRC. Seems like a new thing, maybe more Zee updates are in the works. Not sure how it works yet, though.

Revolutionaries, then? Well, I suppose it is only logical, since it is the title of season.

The RNG really hates me right now. I’ve yet to receive the concluding card despite twelve deck refreshes. I know at least one player who has gotten it, so the RNG is probably racking up its yearly devilbone dice debt. What’s the longest anyone has waited for a concluding card?
Same here Anne!

Glad to know more about the Calendar Council, if it is. There are still 5 mysterious Months who have never appeared directly or indirectly. Could it be August? Lost in Reflections came out in July 2015.

I have a question for the "A furious and incoherent drunken rat" storylet. Do anyone know about the possibility of the rare success? How many tries does it usually take to get a Ratwork Watch? If the chance is too small I'd rather turn to Carrow's Steel...("RNG loves me...RNG loves me not...")
It's around 2.5%, but, as you said, RNG can curse you!
If you're looking to cash in your SiC, I still think the rat is the best option with high Shadow. You don't have to worry about extra points (card requires level 4, but consumes about 20CP) and the Soul Trade option is only worth ~13 E if you're a Spirifer. I can't remember what's the exact reward, but I know it was more efficient for me to grind Souls and Contracts from Unfinished business; I use those with the Shepard card.

I got Empire Kingmaker to 777, and I plan to keep it there. what is the next best grind?
I am about 1000-1250 Echos worth of items away from being able to afford a Goat, if my calculations for the net worth of the items that I plan on selling are right.

I don't believe so - I think I remember Passionario bemoaning that they had to choose another "Addressed As" after ditching Professions for SMEN. I'd feel safer if someone with first-hand experience confirmed, though.

I had an account change profession, and it said that the addressed by quality didn't change because it was lower than 20. So yes, it'll change it if you switch - probably by resetting it completely and prompting the game to ask you what your title is.

Way back when I first started playing I was stuck waiting for the final card for the Bound in Diocesan Intrigue storyline for a few weeks.

What is the best grind route for Book of Hidden Bodies?
Unfortunately, none!
You have A fine day in the Flit (Go hunting for caches rare success), Cryptobotanical Champion which requires a lot of work or, as I did, draw cards in the Flit and trade Revolutionaries connections for Proscribed Material and manufacture the book in the Bazaar streets.
You can gain Revolutionaries connections in FQ from Public Lecture.
It will take some time, but it's a steady grind and you can take care of other PoSI item crafting.
Good luck!
EDIT: Nice RP on that package!

Doing the Decent things for PoSI, Discussing philosophy, if you have access to the Court, which offers some MW or Call in favours at the Shuttered Palace which costs 120 Bohemians CP.

* I love the Nadir, but it's an odd one. Go there if you enjoyed the Iron Republic and other non-traditional stories. Ask another player for an Eyeless Skull on this thread.
* Ambitions are among the most dramatic and rich stories out there. Is the Ambition you picked not to your taste?
* I enjoy all the Dream qualities, but most don't have a detailed story. What the Thunder Said? cards have a chance of unlocking the Stormy Eyed options, so use those for sure.
* Seek the enigmas of the Tiger Keeper if you are a puzzle solver
* Hard to say what exactly you've done, but you may see enjoy the challenge of high Master Thief challenges, Port Carnelian governerships, chess with the boatman, or other repeatable content. You won't get full new stories this way if you've already done them once, but you'll see some new text.
If none of this appeals, take a break from the game and return during a seasonal festival or after a big content update.

Thank you, TheThirdPolice. Especially for the link to the Eyeless Skull thread.
I like my ambition; it's however, quite costly and complicated to follow, so it takes some time.
And I've never played chess with a boatman. Might as well try it once!
A connected (perhaps?) question: is there a way, outside of a festival, to obtain a Destiny card?

Will there still be a Fruits Of The Zee Festival this year?
that seems to be the plan, and i see no reason for it to change. I mean, we might not get new content- making it just a less-than-optimal carosel and a shortcut to mutton island for veterans, [since the event is easy to do the first try] but it's likely very little trouble for them to implement, and some of the dialogue will be interesting to replay after a year, even if the fishing is mostly pointless.
