... still pops by from time to time, without invitation? Neither my husband nor I have seen him for a week, where other Infrequent cards have still been appearing with distressing frequency.

He does, yes. The RNG is just spiteful and full of malice and will never give you the cards you want.
At least you don't need to worry about drawing that card much any more once you get one point of Notability, seeing as there's no cost for summoning him any more.

Pretty much what Spacemarine said. During my grind to Notability 9 (I don't even remember how long I've been grinding), I think I've drawn the card 3 times, including the initial first point of Notability.
What I'd recommend is during your card flipping, spend your extra actions on obtaining higher BDR items. It will save you hundreds of actions in the long run, let me tell you.

If you have enough BDR and Waves you can summon him via Society and Scandal, if not he does turn up on occasion.
That can only be done if you have 1 notability. So if you used it up for Penwick's or the occupations, you will need to draw the card again. It took me 2 weeks to get him.

I'm in the same boat re. having spent my Notability and not drawing the card despite spending a whole week doing nothing but alternating between Waves grinding in Veilgarden and drawing cards at home. Getting that "Time, the Healer" message this week was *painful*, I tell you...
Am I the only one frustrated with this mechanism?

No, I find it fairly frustrating as well. I wish when you had a certain amount of making waves, even a relatively high amount (say, 30) the amanuensis would become a high-probability card.
Ed. Ok, I'm not sure if they've been very actively monitoring this or if I'm just a derp, but you can summon the amanuesis for no cost now at your lodgings if you have enough making waves to raise your notability (?!?!)
Well, that's a perfect solution!

Hold fast, friend, and flip your cards somewhere that doesn't have location specific cards, like the Forgotten Quarter or, I think, the Labyrinth of Tigers. Between the time I got POSI and the change to notability, I saw the Amanuensis what seemed like multiple times a day, but once the notability system changed and I began to care about becoming notable, he took a two-week vacation. Eventually, though, he did show up, and I was able to get myself a Suite. It happened for me, and it can happen for you!

I'm not Acquainted with the person who got my Notability point - I just have this message " ~ ~ (~ ~ in Fallen London) has received your Notability. You've lost 1 x Notability"
Pleased to have confirmation that the point was transferred. Enjoy your Notability Captain Duncan.
