London is indeed a city of legends. Her people are her stories. The good, the bad, and the normal are the soul of her life. A thousand strings, of blood, shadows, knowledge, and charm tie us all together. Even when London is gone, these stories will remain. The Bazaar has a name for the particularly legendary- Paramount Presences.

[spoiler]
First came a city of gold, of copper, of light Then a second of poisonous words and a poisoned bite. The third who we remember in hunger, dust and sleep The fourth lost to war and a promise to keep.
And so of a glorious city I offer you her jewels For when the tides rise and the fifth is undone; Keep the shadows of our words near your heart, And let our endless glory live on in the fire of the stars and the sun.

But I wish to congratulate our Paramount Presences to date, especially dov and Estelle Knoht. They have been playing FL forever (or so it seems to me, another early adopter) and they deserve this distinction.

Some of my item stores have dwindled greatly, especially Influence items (Stolen Correspondence and Intriguing Snippets), Moon-Pearls, Diamonds, and Carnival Tickets (I've spent hundreds of those).

How about writing a guide to PP? 99% of the work is about raising Notability, and (except for very specific tricks) it's covered by this excellent guide.
(Note that the guide isn't up to date with the very latest changes to Social Actions - i.e. dinners, coffee, chess, sparring, etc.).
An example of an advanced trick: since most significant MW boosts come from cards, drawing more cards is more important than using actions efficiently. So if you have Cider, you can spend 2 actions to die via Heart's Mirror and come back (3 actions if you need to cause yourself Wounds first), and this will quadruple the cards in your deck. So if you're an Exceptional Friend (can hold 10 cards), doing this when you have 3 cards in your deck will refill them to 10. Effectively, you're trading 2-3 actions (and 5 Carnival Tickets) for the ability to draw 7 extra cards.
If you have the Carnival Tickets, then you can draw up to 101 cards first thing in the morning (when your deck and action pool are full), before having to wait for anything. Some of these are bound to be those that give lots of MW (or items used for MW, such as Favours: Society).

I'm not entirely sure if this even legal, albeit using the similar method (with Flit) in my preferred farming method. 
Also, Correspondent by the will and definition, so mostly Watchful.

dov, that is very creative. Though available to only few, this is very interesting technique. I'll try and remember this when in need of op. cards in the very distant future (upon gaining the Cider).

thanks for the list but total notability cost is useless since 15 notability is a lot more as 3 times 5 notability.
