...And from the wiki I see that the Orphanage's description is continuing the "LOL like anyone would really do anything out of the goodness of their heart I'M ON TO YOU" thing. That's really getting tiring. Why so cynical, Failbetter?

I assume that's so both moral and amoral Londoners can justify pursuing the Orphanage plotline - whether they're a veritable Mary Poppins or more of an upmarket Fagin.

Why so reductive, Little The? The text that I assume you mean reads: "This may have been an act of pure-hearted philanthropy." This means exactly what it says. We try not to dictate players' motives.

Any hint to when the Salon will become available. I don't like children very much and it wouldn't be in character to open an Orphanage for either philanthropic or more nefarious reasons.

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.

If I'm not much mistaken, Salons are available this very moment. (Also, I've been pondering all evening the difficulties of describing another's morality. If one's character is described with anything less than absolute certainty, but at the same time a certain nonchalant modesty-by-proxy, the claim appears ironical at best. Curiously, the reverse doesn't seem to be true, outside of the lower sort of comedy - few villains take exception to the implication inherent in the claim that they may be a notorious ruffian. I wonder if this is true in other languages.)

I wonder if they can yet be renamed through the Intense Notary. If so, I think that sooner or later I shall have to formally convene the Society for Farcical Research. (Between that and some of the Orphanage content I'm seeing, I'm be prepared to swear that Failbetter are writing content to directly suit my characters.)

I got my orphanage (All Little Souls Orphanage) a few days ago, but I haven't drawn any cards related to it or noticed anything that I can do with it except admire it in my Expanded Inventory. Is anyone else noticing any change after acquiring an orphanage?

Opportunities to further develop our Orphanage or Salon appear on the Tower of Eyes card - which is not the most frequent card in the deck. But, you'll draw it eventually.

There are new options on The Tower of Eyes card. They are affected by Airs of London and I have seen a couple of different options so far - one took another Winsome Dispossessed Orphan and some Echoes; another some clothes and Tinctures of Vigour.

Adding no Suppers without prior arrangement, with only 5 Free Evenings a week and being a Patron I can't accept them all.
No Affluent Photographer, Sharing Research with Another Scholar or Boxed Cats accepted. I will send Boxed Cats though. All other social actions welcome. Will help menaces, please be reasonable.

The Clothes one was bugged when I used it, hopefully it's been fixed since.

I suppose it's sort of what Sir Frederick said -- when tacked on like that, it sounds like an ironic jab to me, like the game is trying to dictate my motives. It's also a bit of a compounded thing, since the Magnanimous description is worded similarly. Sorry if you didn't mean it like that; I wasn't aware it was meant to be more inclusive (though I would think just an objective description would be fine in that case, without the need for the rider).

For those salon-owners: does the action of creating a salon use up/decrease your connections? Or does it increase them? Or neither?

It takes a pretty big wodge out of Society, Bohemian, Revolutionary and Hell connections.

Only 200 cp - you were lucky I went down around 20 levels in Society and Bohemian. I can't remember precisely how much but I don't think it took quite as much in Revolutionaries or Hell.
