Accepting A Dank Gift

Accepting a Damp Gift should provide more Amber than calling in favours:	2
Just ignore the option, who cares?:	4
But you can get 3 Warm Amber as a rare success!:	4
Do Care / Speak Up, Tystefy:	0
All the favours give exactly 4.20 echos? OH MY GOD!:	2

BUT... if you just call in favours normally within the Forgotten Quarter, you get 420 amber. Am I being a moron again or is the math here wrong? Isn't calling in favours normally better than the other? -- Will sometimes return to post absurdity.

It depends on how many Echoes per Action you could get by using your Actions on something else that is always available under the same circumstances. Both options pay less than playing one of the conflict cards though. ________________________________ edited by Gillsing on 7/14/2017

The option on the card is also usable prior to unlocking the route to the Forgotten Quarter, and at that early stage in the game a few hundred amber is rather a lot. -- Perhaps our role on this planet is not to worship God — but to create Him. —Sir Arthur C Clarke Lionel Anchovies.
