What's the easiest way to gain Favors: Hell? I'm trying to grind for Renown, and have a Brass Skull which should help, but I need to gain the Favors first and can't seem to get my hands on any. I'm really trying to grind souls but the best option (in Spite) is locked for those under Renown 10

You can switch your faction pet to hell's to draw its card, which grants a favor.
The brass embassy suite lodging card has an option that grants one favor.
Attending parties lets you earn 3 hell favors each cycle, by playing the deviless card twice,at the beginning and end.

If you're a Person of Some Importance, you can get 3 favors from the Polite Invitation card (you need to bring along a bottle of broken giant and 10 infernal contracts too.)
If your scandal is high enough and you have at least 4 Ruthless, you can get a favor from the Afternoon of Good Deeds? card ("An afternoon of mischief!" option).
Finally there is of course the Hell card.

I am a PoSI, and have exhausted options at the carnival. I believe carnival locks at Renown 5, and I need renown 10. I've got favors 2 right now, but I need 3 to trade for more renown.
Maybe I'm just not selecting the right option on the Hell cards I've received. It seems like I'm gaining everything but favors (or renown). Will try and see if I can get the Afternoon of Good Deeds card to pop up.

I remember when I needed to amass Favours: Hell... lemme see if I remember.
Of course I remember, I did it for two weeks straight. I will never get over why they spell "favor" as 'favour".
------- STUFF ----------
Go to parties via "An Invitation" opportunity card. It is a persuasion carousal.
- You can gain 2 favours right from the get-go at Time Passing 6 if you draw "The Brass Ambassador" op card and offer a bottle of Broken Giant.
- You can gain 1 favour at the very end by the same op card in exchange for 10 Infernal Contracts.
Do scandalous things. Be ruthless 4 and choose "An Afternoon of Mischief!" when faced with the scandal-related op card. This will gain 1 favour.
Attend lectures via the Burning Shadows op card. 1 favour.
I'm pretty sure these are the only repeatable options unless I missed some.

And technically, it's Americans who spell "favour" as "favor", and not the other way around, seeing as "favour" is the original English spelling.

Since you are all here, honoured Neathians -- how might I best accumulate more Infernal Contracts? They always seem to come in dribs and drabs, while souls are ten a penny...

Unfinished Business in Watchmaker's Hill, contracts and legs.
Gives you infernal contracts at a rate of 1 echo/action worth of contracts, not great EPA but gives you what you need. You don't need a huge collection of them.

Also happy to help with nightmares, send sips of Cider, and plant battle.

If you feel like it, breeding a Tomb-Lion with Fungus and Pious Wrath will also give you 150.

I am curious how English in the Neath will evolve within a few hundred years time . . .
After all, the Americans barely speak English at all, any more

Semi-serious answer: Watch out, people have been rebuked for less inflammatory "jokes."
Serious answer: Eh, yes and no. And this is halfway addressed to dov, as well. While our dialect certainly isn't the British dialect (or more accurately, dialects), the various dialects you find in England are hardly "original English," either. It's rather misguided to say one group has it "right" because they live in the geographical area that the language formed in or live in the nation that shares a name with the language... especially when that language doesn't have a central authority like certain other languages (though my Quebecois girlfriend would insist that doesn't matter, either).
That being said, yeah, uh, Failbetter's British, and so they use British dialect. Oh, I should add that I'm perfectly aware this conversation was composed mostly of joking, but I simply can't pass up a good opportunity for a rant about common misconceptions.

Remember: there is no 'correct' way to speak a language. They are all equally valid. What we consider 'correct' assumed the role due to a number of sociopolitical reasons.
Having said that, of course some strains of language seem better to our ear, or are more appropriate to certain circumstances, but this is on us - the language itself has no default.

Many of the phrases and words used by American English are actually the originals, so to speak, and it is British English that has generally changed. It probably isn't true nowadays, but in the 19th and early 20th Centuries American English was more static and conservative, and British English was changing wildly. In Regency and Victorian times Americans were considered "quaint" in their language because of the old-fashioned way they talked.
Note how Americans use the word "holiday" properly, whereas us Brits have altered its meaning to encompass something entirely different.
