Starting with 3 progress is a Rare Success for starting an expedition. Nothing to do with the number of supplies, it just happens sometimes.

What type of bug do I have to find in order to get a rubbery conspirator or accomplice? Could someone who's earned one of these in the past give an example?

Was it "A Sign"? That's airs-dependent, I believe.

No, it's the rare success start of the expedition. A Sign gives 4 progress.

Hey guys, I have probably a stupid question about FL Christmas. What Noman is used for and why do I want to keep it alive as long as possible? I’ve seen guides explaining HOW to do it, but not why would I want to do it.
Another question: I want to upgrade both Beth room and bazaar premises to 5 star cribs, is it doable if I have SotC 10, monocle and Tears of the bazaar?

Noman has a story that grants you an Elemental Secret. From the Feast of the Exceptional Rose (which comes in February) you can get a regular Noman tattoo, but if you already have two tattoos you can get a special quality just for bragging rights and some bits of text.
EDIT: Upgrading both it's doable if nothing changed from last year. Follow the instructions here and you should be oki.

Thank you for the instructions link! Do I understand correctly that I can manage to get upgrades and noman, if I buy a couple of pails from urchins?

More pails make everything easier, and are good for profit in their own right. Although you won't necessarily need to pay the little weasels' prices - unless you're actually aiming for keeping a Noman alive as long as you can. Then make it more than just a couple, though  .

Mmm, I thought you get 4 pails for free, and the guide says I'll need all of them to get Beth+Bazaar upgrades, I figured I'll need to buy at least one more pail for Noman, as he costs 3 ToL min?

I'm at Dangerous 182, and I'm seeking to grind it up to 200. What's the most efficient way to do this? I already have a Talkative Rat and basically every other conceivable way to drop my Dangerous. I've currently been engaging in "A Literary Sort of Fist-Fight" in Watchmaker's Hill, but I feel like there has to be an option that's either quicker or more profitable.
Also, I've already concluded both the Labyrinth of Tigers and the Velocipede Squad stories.

Have sparring bouts with other players and burn the second chances for a boost.
Or arrange something with another player for Christmas cards.

Maybe trading in Docks favors on their connected card? It's not exactly grindable, but Docks is one of the more abundant favors in the game and it's like a level and a half of Dangerous per trade-in.

Oh, and tomb colonists can also work for exchanging favours for dangerous.

What's going on with my Constables card? I'm just looking for the buck standard "Cell and Court" thing. But it has been SEVERAL DAYS of constantly (except when I sleep) keeping my deck below max cards and I haven't seen it. I even used Fate once to refill the deck because I'm so tired of waiting on the RNG. I just want a profession. This is getting annoying. I have 25 connection to them and want the Watcher profession and really this is what I'm doing in the story right now and I want to know if I'm not meeting some kind of requirement.

If you still don't get your dangerous to 200 when snow starts falling, don't forget to shovel some snow yourself, this will give you 70 change points at your level for only 5 actions(AND DON'T FORGET, only shoveling your own snow will help, if you shovel snow for someone else before shoveling your own snow for 10 actions you will not get any points in dangerous).

There are no requirements to draw the card, RNG is just being very evil(but it does that to all of us).

Are there any scenarios where it might be a rational decision to move from a five cards lodgings to a remote address? I own A Once-Great Marsh-House, but never actually stayed there, because I live in A Sanctum at the Brass Embassy.

If you are looking for a specific card(or a few specific cards) a remote lodging will help you get it faster(since it removes around...5 cards from your deck).

Good point, but is this difference really significant? Is there a way to quantify total amount of cards in my deck with corresponding probabilities and see how exactly does probability of drawing, say, “A presumptuous little opportunity” grow when City Vices are removed?
