I find it interesting that we can protest shroom hopping in-game but not the weasel-fighting tournament, considering the controversy around animal fighting in the real world. I know, I know, Deliberate Values Dissonance and all that, but considering we can be sympathetic towards rattly concerns, you'd think there would be an option for Londoners who oppose cruelty to weasels, too.

Fear not, it will be Weasellers to the Rescue!
For weasels are not alone or unaided in this world, we are breeding a force of Fighting Weasels from distant Araby even now, along with Salt weasels to bring up the rear and tend the wounded, and Celebrated Weasels who will burst into song to herald the attack and hearten our troops.
(Some of us like weasels. Feel free to join us. 400 required.)

If we ever actually get the end of the Ambitions, the only Heart's Desire a Seeker should be able to get is 77 SMEN. Any other desire should be locked out, for obvious reasons.

Hello,
I really like Fallen London for the writing, but i will stop playing it. Reason for it is the 'Black Ribbon' storyline, where you have to built up your 'Running battle', heal your wounds and fight the other guys. It annoys me so much, how often I have to click through the mission, to do one task, just to get back to the regions' starting page, having to click through the mission again, and so forth. This is no fun at all.

@groink19
Frankly, I only did as much of the black ribbon as was absolutely necessary to move on. There are so many other areas to explore, don't let that one thing put you off. At some point, your level will be so high that wounds no longer happen and you'll sail through and get your Name.
The whole names structure was introduced to help people move through the early stages of the game, but please don't feel locked in by it.
You might consider getting a patron for Dangerous to boost that area painlessly.

Maybe this isn't a real issue, but I'm having a hard time figuring out which storylines I've finished and which ones I haven't, and which ones I'm yet to find. I'm not sure if I've reached endgame, but it feels like I'm quickly running out of options for things to do that aren't grinds or the like. Anyone have solutions?

That's probably down to quality boosts from equipped items.

Halfway through the first week of the election and the candidate cards seem a little thin on the ground. Perhaps their frequency should be notched up a tier?

I agree. I've seen plenty of Reputation enhancing cards (my Campaigner quality is already up to 20) but I've only gotten candidate cards 2 or 3 times, and I'd like to do each option on each of the three cards at least once before the election is over.

You tease me by new story with Mrs Plenty, but I buy Ubergoat and have less than 12 Fate. This story is only on this election, so I even cannot fast make alt and grab all Fate from stories!

The Fate-locked candidate options aren't stories, they're just a couple paragraphs of text with additional rewards. (There's also one for each candidate.)

Is this rewards Best-In-Slot items or not?

Each? I see only Mr Plenty with such option, but no Virgina's Fate-locked option.

Yes, only Ps Plenty offers a Fate option. Is that a mistake?

Mrs Plenty's Fate option even appearing right now may be a bug. We can assume Virginia's Fate option exists because I paid 12 Fate for it on day one, not remembering that Fate options weren't available the second week last year. Since Plenty has one and Virginia has one, it's safe to assume that Shoshana has one too.
(Just another two and half hours now, hopefully)

To address the request behind the request, though, I don't think it's clear at all that if the Enthusiastic Urchin returned, they'd come bearing Fate. Failbetter has (rightfully) moved away from a Fate-reward system towards more unique in-game currencies; for instance, while the original Mysteries rewarded correct answers with Fate, the redesign Mysteries rewarded correct answers with Regnant Coins to be traded in. The most recent Enthusiastic Urchin, if I recall correctly (the one that led to Sunless Skies) rewarded Darkdrop Coffee instead of Fate.
Furthermore, Failbetter has been making a concerted push to leverage its social media for promotional purposes, especially Twitter: this year's candidates were released on Twitter (and Discord) rather than the FBG blog, the Sunless Skies tie-in access codes were released via Twitter, and several Sunless Skies Kickstarter social goals focused on reaching follower goals for their social media. Essentially, while the Enthusiastic Urchin may return to survey the Fallen London base, Failbetter's social media operations have grown and may eventually (or perhaps already have) made the Enthusiastic Urchin obsolete.
