Doesn't the Dangerous boost from hardmode Flint use your modified Dangerous? In which case you might not even need to overcap to hit Dangerous 215, just have enough equipment.
Someone should make sure that's actually how it works, though.

I have noticed sometimes that I'll appear to receive notably more actions or cards than I think I should get when I sync... I hope that's not related, since it's hardly intentional. Don't worry – we don't penalise players for any advantages they receive from bugs unless it's clear that they've actively sought to take advantage of them. At most, we might remove whatever benefit was gained.
The sorts of offline play exploits we apply sanctions for are extremely easy to recognise in our database. There can be a significant delay before we actually take action in specific cases, since we don't want to ban or heavily penalise people without a human personally reviewing the evidence, and we're quite busy making games. But a reckoning will not be indefinitely postponed.

While I have my doubts about whether the app's idiosyncrasies with regards to action and card refreshing are feature or bug, I don't think such paranoia is warranted. First, because the app would be virtually unusable without the ability to manually resync. Second, because frequent manual resyncs help prevent the player from inadvertently "turning back time" and repeating actions. And third, because from what Flyte has said, they can easily find the abuses they want to punish by examining the database, and have no need to go trawling through the forums for innuendos and admissions.

I was going to buy Flint anyway. Anyone got tips for a first Flint-er?
Mechanics-wise? (Some spoilers included)
[spoiler]
1. Save the Sister. You can get the other two unique items later if you choose the right options* but you can't get her any other way. (The choice does determine your reward for the first half; the Sister gives a Mountain-sherd, the Word gives a Judgement's Egg, and the Knapt gives an Element of Dawn.)
2. Don't forget to choose hard mode when you're asked if All Shall Be Well or you can't get the overcap.
3. If you want the overcap you'll need to have as much Dangerous as possible and your best Dangerous equipment on when you drink from the Wound. It's also optional so be careful not to skip that.
4. Be optimistic with your deputy. On hard mode, if you're not optimistic they may choose to stay behind and you'll lose their acquaintance entirely.
5. At the very end you can choose between wiping all your menaces, setting a quirk to 14 in exchange for wiping its opposite, or wipe any Stains on your Soul you may possess. If those are things you're interested in make sure you're in a position to take advantage.
6. Apis Meet is permanently unlocked but every other unique area is inaccessible once you leave, so make sure you do everything you want to.
* Specifically, while at the Wound you can get the Word of Caution back if you ask nicely, or you can just do some backstabbing to get both the Word and the Knapt. No keeping the Patroness, sadly.[/spoiler]

Four specialisations, four characters... yeah, I'm good without Paramount Presence. Plus, raising all that Notability, making all those acquaintances, collecting all that junk, having all those dreams, and breeding goats? That sounds like The Most Boring Grind in Fallen London...

But I guess that this goal is something the high-end players are looking for. Plus, these requirements are divided by two so it can't be bad at all comparing to the 885CP of MW required to get to Notability 15 while having 32 BDR.
I can attest that even with BDR 33 this is not much fun. Especially since I avoid using my Salon for MW until Society/Bohemians are converted.
(too bad this new end-game goal directly competes with grinding for Tears of the Bazaar...)

I don't know... I love a good grind and this gives me something to take the edge off of the Heptagoat trudge.

Wiwo. Almost certainly not a squid in a cunningly tailored suit. Surely.
 Care for some cider? Here's how to ask me for some. Strange pranks strongly preferred.
Care to pet a Heptagoat? Too bad. It doesn't do anything (probably).
I'm a Correspondent and would be delighted to lecture at your orphanage.

Heck, I sometimes get 2 extra cards when I'm using the browser game, for some reason.

Just need the Notability on my end, but yeah - that in itself will be pretty rough. Still, I've been wanting for a goal for Gloria recently, and this fits the bill nicely. Whether I bother with the other three characters is ultimately based on what exactly this will do.

I occasionally get 8 cards instead of 6 when playing the browser game (non-EF). Either the server occasionally hands out cards/actions in chunks larger than 1 or it occasionally just gives free actions/cards.
