A Name Known to Many

Will you please, for the love of God, put in a "I haven't done any of these bloody things!" option into "A Name Known to Many?" Or get rid of this stupid business altogether?
I am getting rather tired of the game trying to force me further along it's course than I have actually gone. I have not written several fine works, I am not prying into Veilgarden's mysteries, and I have not been exploring the wonders of the honeyed-world. I am not sure I have even ever set foot in bleedin' Veilgarden.
Why does the game do this? It is really, really, annoying. Makes me want to not play my lowbie character. I've ranted about this before, but it still happens, so I am ranting about it again.

It indeed might be confusing for new characters.
However, besides ranting, have you tried sending this as an item to be fixed, to either support@failbettergames.com, or feedback@failbettergames.com?
FBG are quick to address such issues. i.e. they'll either fix it, or give you an official reply as to how they see it. Either way, it's more effective than ranting on the forum, where FBG are not guaranteed to read the post at all!

As far as I'm aware, it's based off of having certain stats (such as persuasive) at a higher level than is expected without actually doing the plot for it. The way it was originally done was checking current stats for where someone should be, and putting them to plot based on that, but I don't think those options were removed, so if you raise a stat above those boundaries without doing the plot, you get the auto-fire thing.

Northwards with Noman. At least they'll have company.

Okay, the moral of the story seems to be: Don't let your stats get to 50 before starting the "Making Your Name" storylets or you are going to trigger this "Patch Storylet." Seems like the classic case of a patch to fix one thing which breaks something else.
I was able to get my Persuasive lower than 50 by removing items, but was still stuck in the Storylet. Thankfully, the kind person at Customer Support got me out of there. So now I think I'd best go and start all those Making Your Names so this doesn't happen again.
