Er, I'm not sure if this is intended, but the Organizing a Wedding can't be transferred right now. Locked off with "Impossible!" Why?

The option isn't even there at all for me, there was probably just another bug here though and it will probably get fixed soon.

As of the arrival of my TtH, I've got a 71% chance of getting my classic short story. Should I attempt this now, or wait another four weeks for more certainty (i.e. another trade secret)?

either use 2 trade secrets per try or wait to get to 100%(your choice here, though I would wait for 100% myself).

Last time I tried it I didn't wait and failed, so that experience plus your advice has made me decide to wait. Thanks!

I'm currently trying to worm my way into high society (read: I want join the Parthenaeum), but right now I'm short on Intriguing Snippets and I see only two sensible approaches available to me:

- Grinding Casing in the Flit (I have my own Gang of Hoodlums), robbing the study of the Duchess' for Stolen Correspondence (by the by, that Lady must have an astounding numer of aquaintances, considering just how many letters are lying around there) and turning said correspondence into snippets. This is what I'm doing.

- Grinding Counting the Days and turn my 4 marks of credit into snippets (I'm closest to the Bohemians). This would net me some favors with both Urchins and Docks (I'm trying to raise my renown with both, but I guess I can do it in other ways)

Any suggestion or alternative method is appreciated.

Hi everyone! Can somebody tell me why would I want to get banished from the empress' court? Are there new storylets available when you get banished? I really like the storylets there and I wonder if it's a necessity to be banished for progressing the story.
Thanks in advance

Being banished lets you enter the Foreign Office, where you can become Governor of Port Carnelian - then you can go there if you have a ship and do some late-game grinding. The usefulness is debateable.

Oh, and you get to p__s off the Empress. Actually, I think that's the main reason you might want to do it.

You don't have to p__s off the empress, you can p__s off the church instead!

The results are the same, though.

I haven't done the math on robbing the chambers of the Duchess, but an alternative (which is also less risky) is Ambushing Couriers in Spite. This 2-action option provides either 40 x Stolen Correspondence, or ~1-40 x Stolen Correspondence + 1 x Touching Love Story.

Blimey! How did I miss that?

It seems a good alternative. I think I might do the rest of the grinding that way.

Thank you very much.

1. After finding Millicent's Parlour and getting your first tatoo does the cards The Lady in Liliac and An Encounter at feast will apear or getting the first tatoo locks you out of those cards?

2. Something is coming status is it good to raise as high as possible? Do you get a reward?

3. How common is Rare success from rob a drunk in spite? It is worth to grid it?

You can get the tattoo and still draw those cards.

1. If you raise it above 4 you'll have a non-discardable card. It's options require level 4 (10CP), but consume 20 CP so it's best to use it exactly at level 4. Unless you're a Spirifer, those options aren't that great.
2. People say it's ~2%, but in probably a month I'll do a long run. Best is to bookmark that sheet as it has interesting data in it. At the moment I'm at SiC 72 and aiming for level 77 just for RP reasons. The whole process requires 2625 cards (conflict, free of surface ties, Zee) and it's getting very annoying to have that darn card in hand for many, many months! But I'll get 437+ runs on robbing a rat!
