Here's this week's thread for quick questions and answers! Remember, for Election questions, refer to the Election sub-forum, and for bugs, send a report to the support email.

Strictly, Election questions should go in the Election subforum... but I can tell you that all three candidates' cards have the same Frequency value. It's just poor luck.

It took me awhile to remember this question. Shall we ever get to go to Irem? For a Glassman it is a wonderful place. Besides we all know we would enjoy the frustration the characters involve would express with the "tense" issue.

Skinnyman, find the Flash Lay in the elections storylet. Do not go through the Veilgarden Flash Lay!
And Wilhelm, if you manage to get an answer from a mystical being, ask them about Parabola too! I am halfway grinding for the camp.

I feel really dumb for asking this, but what exactly is CP?
I know it's what people and the wiki say when you are increasing your qualities or stats kinda like "Nightmares Increasing... +3CP", but I still don't know what it is or what it's amount is..
Add me here:
http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/LostLegion
Change Points. This is the name for the partial increments when a status bar fills towards gaining a new level in some quality.
Mechanically, going from level N to level N+1 requires N change points. Excess carries over, and many change points can result in gaining multiple levels at a time. So, e.g., a change that gives 10 change points will take you from level 0 to level 4 (1+2+3+4=10). If you were already at level 1, you would still go to level 4 but would have an extra 1-2 change points left over, so level 5 would only require another 3-4. (The number of CP to increase levels caps at 50 for almost everything, and 70 for the 4 main stats.)

You have a typo: it requires N+1 change points (so e.g. as demonstrated by your next example, going from level 0 to level 1 takes 1CP, going from level 1 to level 2 takes 2CP, etc.)

So, the election's ending soon. Does anyone know if I have to burn off all my excess reputation now, or will I have a chance to after the polls close? Do I need reputation to interact with whoever at the afterparty, based on last year?

Reputation is a new quality - it didn't exist last year. So we have no way to know how the election activities are going to end.
Well, shit.
I think I'll keep it and pray to Failbetter for deliverance. Surely they would have warned us to burn it all off if it was gonna vanish.

I suspect we'll get a week or two after the election to cash in our Reputation, but we'll see.

I reached career 20 rather fast and stockpiled reputation, which I burned in electoral opportunism. I honestly hope that if it was to be used for anything esle save career, we would have gotten a warning.
We will be able to cash it until July 9, by the way.

It used to automatically transfer you when you clicked on the storylet, but now you have to spend an action to get there. I think this changed sometime after Urchins were converted to the Favour/Renown system.

Sigh, even if i scroll I still get 26 people. Same, because the elections helped me make interesting acquaintances. I am sending a bug report.

Is it just me, or has the frequency for favours-granting cards gone up?

Is the Captivating Princess and the Generous Princess the same person, or are they two different people? (I have real trouble keeping FL lore in my head for more than about five minutes!)
I can't recall 100% but I believe the Generous Princess is the same character as the Playful Prodigy (and hence different from the Captivating Princess). The Captivating Princess was however instrumental in you securing the Generous Princess's regard

I tend to go to Veilgarden and Supply wine in exchange for Prisoner's Honey in the Honey Den which gives 1cp of Making Waves per action.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

It depends on where you are in the game. Start in Spite for shadowy; then onto the Flit and Mahogany Hall.
Once you are POSI there is the War of Assassins (options for all four stats); if you have a ship (or during the Fruits of the Zee Festival) there is Mutton Island.

I have a question for Exceptional Friends. Awhile back in the Season of Adorations I was unable to get 'The Pursuit of Moths'. Does anyone know when that story will be available to purchase for Fate (or how long before a story is purchasable from the time it is released)? Many thanks in advance.
edited by The Ambivalent Dynamo on 6/26/2018
I imagine that the fate page won't be updated until the redesign is re-launched and running in line with expectations. FB has commented that they'd get to reorganizing the fate page eventually as well.
Just a guess, but that's what I'd anticipate.

The reputation card went from rare to Exceptionally common, Contrarian card went from uncommon to b____y common, and Slowcake's card went from uncommon to EXCEPTIONALLY rare. Clearly the systems rigged against poor Mr Slowcake.
Oh right, actual question. Is this difference intentional, by accident, or just poor luck?

I have misclicked and thrown in my lot with one whose gift is not to my liking. The storylet for the election specifies that if you have already received a free gift and shift allegiances, you will not receive a new one, but could I manage to get the gift I want if I just don't take any on offer? (I really want Bees.)
