What would be the 'safe' zone for getting renown 40 Constables?
I thought I had enough for Urchins, only for them to up it from 5/6 to 7 . . . I now have enough for 7, but fear they'll make it 8 or 9. I kind of wondered if anyone had any idea what a 'safe zone' would be for the upcoming conversion? Is 7 safe, or should I aim for 8 or 9 to be in the next formula?
There's no way to know.
I, too, thought I had enough Connected: Urchins to get Renown 50, based on the difficulty of raising this quality, and it turned out I had only enough for Renown 45. The factor of 7 is really not in proportion to the past conversion rates used. So, it seems that FBG are making this tougher to start off with lots of Renown, and we should expect the conversion rates to be steeper and steeper.
As a very quick comparison, and disregarding conflict cards, the reliable way to raise Connected: Urchins only gave +3 CP per action, and by selling secrets you can raise Connected: Constables at ~11 CP per action. Whether that would mean that the conversion rate for Renown: Constables would be 4 times as tough as for the Urchins is anyone's guess...

So either constables or hell are next, it seems, which answered my original question before reading the thread, but now I've a new one.
Are there any non-fate uncapped Connected: The Masters options? And then is the fatelocked attending a Revel as a Guest capped?
I vaguely remember the fate-locked guest being capped pretty low . . .
I think you can only gain one level from that card, regardless of whether you pay fate or not (so once you've played it, you won't gain any connection points from it again) . . . wiki seems to support this, too.
Personally, I got up to around 11 using Mr Pages, but - after that - used the non-fate options at Christmas. The rest was fate on the decommissioned steamer card. There used to be non-fate means at Hallowmas, too, but - much to my disappointment - no such options no longer exist there. You can gamble over at the Circus, if you feel lucky, but I'd advise against it (chances are extremely against you and you chance losing some connection).
If you don't want to spend fate or gamble, best to wait until Christmas.

It seems a bit of a shame Renown doesn't stop at 49, 7 being the Number...

I think the reason is mostly mechanical reflection of flavor: you're advancing the liberation slowly but surely by working with the revolutionaries. It would make sense if it happened when you actually accrue connected CP with the revolutionaries, but having it occur only during the turnins makes it slower and steadier. It also makes the tradeoff one that hurts a little more: you either forgo payment or increment the LoN quality. As you find out more about the Liberation, it gives you a little bit of a twinge every time you do a turnin. Hey, there are pro-LoN people around too 
Yes. I also note that xe didn't cover the fact that you feel the same guilt for gaining CP church or masters, either.
