Happy May Day, everyone! I hope you're spending it dancing around maypoles and opposing capitalism! If instead you've got some Fallen London questions or answers to share, here's the place for it.

Are there any reliable ways to increase "Embroiled in the Wars of Illusion?" It took me ~30 actions to get 3 CP's
To be honest, that sounds extremely lucky to me. One of my accounts took nearly a week (hundreds of actions) to pick up 3 cp, and the other took several days.
Anyway, as others noted, there are better ways to raise it starting at level 2. I believe it opens up a storylet called "bats and cats", although that may be later on. I'd have to go check the wiki.
Edit: just checked, it opens up a one-time storylet called "the wars of illusion" in the flit that sets Embroiled to 6, which then opens up bats and cats.

I disagree on criminals and urchins. The Urchins/Hell conflict card will give you more money than the scraps/bundle from the Flit card (and you probably want to use that card turning in Revolutionary connection), though there are reasons to want scraps specifically (unique items). Criminals will give you more money overall from Crime or Punishment, since Puglism gives ~21 echos on average for 7 favors while Crime or Punishment gives 20 for 5 favors. You can spend excess favors past 5 on Thief's Cache expeditions or the singular favor Implausible Penance options.

Dunno about the Orchid Grower, but they did lock most the Rendezvous cards recently, yes. You need to both not have a connected pet nor have a Clandestine Rendezvous.

The Wiki seems to have been given some failure text for the option. I'm guessing they made it a real challenge.

It won't reset that, no. You'll have to finish the song.

>>>Also any idea on when the connected Constables/Hell change will be implemented?
They had promised to implement The Blemmigan Tourist in summer (one of the social goals in the Sunless Skies kickstated campaign). I believe they are working on that and not on Constables/Hell rework right now. We probably will not see any updates before the Sunless Skies release (and maybe ever). But im the pessimist.

During one of the streams, they said they had enough people this time around to continue working on Fallen London, even while working on Sunless Skies.

How can i get connected: summerset while kicked out from the university? I need it for my salon (so I need just 6 cp). The expeditions in forgotten quarters come to mind, but is there any faster (and less costly in terms of actions) way?
The option via expedition is locked if you're unwelcome at the University.
Here are some options, which should raise Connected: Summerset (if the wiki is accurate that they don't rely on not being unwelcome):
- If you already have some Connected: Summerset, then you can use the "Endowment of a University Fellowship" (bought at the Bazaar) to gain quite a boost. If you don't have any such Connection, then you can sacrifice *a lot* of Connected: Benthic for a very modest Connected: Summerset increase.
- Write A Tale of the Future at the Court (if you haven't been kicked out, of course).
- If your'e Closest To either Constables/Society/Church you can use a Mark of Credit.
Other than that, you'll need to Re-establish your academic reputation.

Is there any benefit in choosing the Albino rat over the Big Rat in "Seeking the Meaning of the Plaster Face"?

Are there any reliable ways to increase "Embroiled in the Wars of Illusion?" It took me ~30 actions to get 3 CP's and I need another 24(?) for the storylet conclusion.
What is the best way to spend ~600 CP of Connected: Society? I am planning to grind shadowy through lodging's option and going to lose connected anyway.
What is generally the best way to spend favors (except docks which I use for expeditions)?
Can I use Mood to become a POSI?

What is the best way to increase Inspired?
1) at 170 persuasive, you're basically at the end game.
2) Not especially, though it is the moral choice.
3). There should be, you need to have a name whispered in darkness at 6 to see it.
4). Calling in favours in the palace or the court, though these will be slow.
5) urchins is best used for calling in favours in the flit, criminals is best used for pugilism and politics on the implausible penance card (or for the thieves cache expedition). TC is best used on their conflict card with society, or trading in collections of curiosity. Rubbery is best used through conflict cards.
5) Yes
6) It unlocks the profession correspondent and will help you in a few scattered options.
7) If it costs items or connections, it is probably one of the better options.
(Oops, missed mahogany hall, but yes you meed to unlock that through find your way to mahogany hall)

I'll answer what I can
albino rat : choosing the albino rat will add the albino rat companion (not very useful, +2 dangerous, +2 persuasive) and a card on your deck which will give about 1 echo worth of rewards.It's a lousy card, choosing the big rat will give you more useful rewards (such as the best way to raise casing)
mahogany hall: Yes, you can only access it by "buying" it. Odd, since every other third tier location becomes accessible for free via the making your name storylets
embroiled in the wars of illusion: Once you reach level 2 (3 CP) in this quality, other storylets appears and the quality will raise much faster.
moods and POSI: I don't know for sure, but since other equipment can be used, i guess moods are okay too
SotC: Level 10 is required for the correspondent profession. I think that at Christmas there are challenges based on your SotC level. Other than that, bragging rights
EDIT, sorry i didn't realize suinicide already answered. However, i'm pretty sure that access to mahogany hall can only be bought (with exceptional hats, bats, lizards and whatnot)
