So I've been grinding... and my Empire's Kingmaker has now reached 1000. Hopefully it'll be put to good use in endgame.


  • I'm curious; what are other people's values in the attribute like? It gives a good feel for how much end-game grinding a player has gone through, and I can't be the only one with a ridiculously high number.

    Same goes for Sparring,Loitering,Suppers and Games of chess! Sure I'll accept them occasionaly but I wont help you grind them most of the time.
    But calling cards are highly welcome! (Got too much influence for cards at the moment. Sorry!)

    There's a few ways you can spend it, but it's not similar to Calling in Favours with the other connections. At least I don't remember being able to trade it in for items.

    Spacey got that from a certain inadvisable SMEN development; it wasn't like it took long, just poor decisions (that I plan to make as well).
    As for 'spending' connections, there's not a good way to do that for most of them. It's more of a "Hey look these people like me" or a "I want these people to like me for reasons" than a money-making scheme.

    Well, she can take you out of the Tomb-Colonies in no time (I think it's around 3 CP of Scandal reduction per action). Apart from that, I don't know - but it doesn't do any harm either, not having any Opportuniy card linked, it doesn't hinder you in any way, so you can just leave your Duchess connection as it is ^^

    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's one of the options in the "I still have friends" storylet, so it's not dependant on cards. If you have plenty of Connected: The Duchess I'd say it's worth it, though I tend to always keep a reserve of Duchess connections as I still have access to the Court.

    I just don't get very scandalous and when my Nightmares and Wounds get too high I just go out to Zee and, before the gear change, spent a short time in New Newgate when my suspicion got too high. Actually for POSI menace management I highly recommend the Iron Republic.

    I like to keep my Duchess connections high just 'cause I like the Duchess!

    My Empire's Kingmaker is 1370, which I have on my mantel because it is so absurd it amuses me.

    Social Actions: send them to Kade Carrion (she/her; no Tournament of Lilies, please). an_ocelot has gone NORTH and cannot benefit from social actions!
