Shadowy Career

Just now, when I clicked from my "myself" tab to my "story" tab, I was given a question as to "where I was in my Shadowy career." I hadn't even started any of the storylets that advance this, but there was no option to say this, and no "perhaps not" button to opt out. I chose the lowest possible answer, but it still skipped over a whole chunk of story for me. I'm a little miffed about this.
I'm not sure if this is an actual bug and should be reported as such, but I'm guessing it has to do with the Shadowy mood that I'd just equipped.

Yeah, it's a holdover from when the current progression system was implemented a couple years ago. The storylet you encountered is supposed to give the appropriate Making Your Name level to people who completed stories before MYN was introduced. It just assumes anyone with a high enough stat and no progress is a returning user.

Or you could do what I did when I first started playing, and buy the talkative rat, misread the effect on stats, and keep it equipped all the time. I couldn't understand for the life of me why the game was so hard.
On the other hand, I got to play a *lot* of early game content.
