I know it helps them with Wounds and Suspicion, but it helps the POSI (as in, me) so much more. Is it a big no-no to make a thread asking for willing participants?
I had two events in my early Nethean life relating to this. One, whose name I have not forgotten, simply sent an invitation to Dante's without giving any information. Having experienced only positive interactions at that stage, I naively accepted and was "sucked dry". The player was never in touch again. Whether MW is useful at that point in the game or not is somewhat beside the point. I felt my character had been thoroughly exploited. The second time, the other player explained the circumstances and asked if I was willing, I agreed, and it was all hunly-dory.
If I ever wanted to use Dante's myself, I'd go down the second route.

No. But think of all the cards you'll never see again!

What do you mean? Does it subtract cards? (That would be AWESOME!)
I think Jermaine was referring to the fact that it's a Remote Address (much like the strange lodgings you can get from Sacksmas) and therefore you won't be bothered by any City Vices cards while it's your lodging.

Bonus rewards just need for you to have completed all three parts of a Season. This can be done at any time or in any order.
As, if you want, you can go back and pay Fate for previous stories in a Season you will get the bonus if you play all three at anytime. I don't think Failbetter would want players who come to the game in the future to miss out on something that current subscribers can get.

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.

When I was rather new, I was visiting Dante's with a POSI player. I didn't have much in the way of Wounds or Suspicion, but MW is absolutely useless at that point, actions are cheap, evenings weren't in much demand either - so I felt it was an ok deal. Now that I look at it, it doesn't look all that great for POSI actually. I know I never accumulated more than about 10 levels MW in a week - and 10cp for 10 echo and free evening isn't much of a deal. You get as much from a supper, without the extra cash and moral struggles.  Maybe other newer players get more MW than I did though?

Is anyone else getting the "our apologies! Something terrible has happened" etc. error message? I'm getting it on one account, but not the other, oddly enough.
I believe that was recently turned off due to interactions with the mobile app or something. No idea if it's coming back.

Yes, I am getting it constantly at the moment.

A merry sort of crime actually has very good epa. But this was the first one to switch over, they were seeing what they would have to add to convince people to use renown. (They found a good reason with rubbery, and will probably go back to add conpanions and items for criminal renown)

No other factions unlock items/companions. Failbetter tried something different each time they pushed out a renown update, trying to see what people would like. Apparently its companions.

Ah what a waste. So there's no point in raising renown for the rest aside from bragging rights.
