Great Game conversion already? Messages in this topic - RSS

Seems as if A contact in the Great game has a tale for you now unlocks with Favours: The Great Game 5, even though the conversion hasn't happened yet, and I don't have any such Favours. Curious. I thought it would take longer, but now I can't seem to find the text that mentioned roughly when this faction would be converted to Favours and Renown.

1000 Brass Wanted (Ladybones Road only, I believe) now earns a Favour! That's pretty exciting.

Connected: The Great Game 366 was thankfully enough to convert to Renown 50: "You are the pawn who reached D8".

Going back to use the Copper Cipher Ring, I have come to the uncomfortable realisation that it sounds an awful lot like the fidget spinner of FL-verse.

The way the recent conversions worked is this:

First 21 levels of Connected become Favours (3:1 ratio, up to 7).

Levels beyond the first 21 become Renown (in this case 6:1 ratio), but only if this will result in at least 5 Renown.

This means that you'll only get the first level of Renown if you had Connected: The Great Game 51.

This is so that people with very little Renown will still be able to use the Carnival option to get free Favours.

Well that just screwed me a bit, I've been spending the last week or so grinding Books of Hidden Bodies for a dubious landau and as soon as I get my fifth one it changes from 20 Connected GG, which I had, to 10 Renown that I do not have -_-

The veteran privy counselor has asked me to compose an opera. In the "why are you doing this?" storylet, I chose "for empress and country". I had 7 great game favors, and the choice's outcome made note of that fact and said it couldn't go any higher, so presumably that option gives a Great Game favor.

Hahaha, thanks! Took an unwanted visit there some time ago and it's not my favourite place due to dream loss. But sounds great! Time to get maaaaad! Big Grin

I love that place and I'm absolutely thrilled they put the Great Game item there! ^^

It totally makes sense in context of the Woods in Winter, which was a cool lore piece. Unfortunately, this is the one top-tier Renown item I'm a little disappointed in as a Midnighter.

Also, Cathy Raymond, why not get up to 39 Renown since you've got the 7 favours right now, instead of getting the 5-favour item?

In case someone who isn't grading term papers wants to update the wiki: I can confirm that the rare success for allowing Dr. Schlomo to publish your dreams of war-games does now grant a Great Game favour.

It depends on if you enter the other nightmare area or not (which you might do accidentally if you're going in blind). Exiting from the Mirror Marches only costs 10 CP of a single quality, while exiting from the other place costs 5 CP of every dream quality. So not that much either way if your dream qualities are all very high. Certainly not even close enough to make you lose any of them.

You just lose a few cps of Someone is Coming, a memory of light and gain some wounds when you leave the Mirror Marches.

Just don't take the familiar place storylet as that will take you to a state of some confusion where you will lose some of every dream quality when you leave.

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.

HOW ARE THEY WRITING SO QUICKLY?

Are the writers working in parallel or something? Are they somehow finished converting everything and just releasing the content in waves? Are they using word processors from the Iron Republic?
edited by Saklad5 on 6/6/2017

They've spent the last year working on a Persona Engine.

As far as they're aware, they're still fine-tuning it and the new content is still on hold.

The conversion factor is 6, so 5 Renown would have required 51 Connected (21 + 6*5).

Woods in Winter, in the Nadir, grants a Favor. At least it does if you are entwined with the Clathermonts, I assume that part works the same either way.

I basically sacrificed connected hell and constables in order to focus on The Great Game and it worked! I have renown 50! Big Grin

I have no Renown so I can't get anything yet, but I've been holding the Faction card in my hand for a few days.


The 10-Renown Item is named [spoiler]"A Subscription to the Gazette and a Whetted Pair of Scissors."[/spoiler]

The Faction card now has an option to earn Favors ("Assist in a Stakeout"), whereas previously it did not have a way to increase Connected. It increases Wounds, presumably on account of the coffee.
