Any tips on how to get use of villains? I've been grinding my fighting a war of assassins up, and I'm wondering if there is a better way. Also, is there a quicker way to get brilliant souls? The flit one seems like the best right now, seeing as I've exhausted my financial resources. Thanks!

I welcome second chances and menace reductions.
I do not accept any sort of cats in boxes, or anything that has to do with that photographer.
I also welcome calling cards.

I think the best non-Profession way of getting Use of Villains is by making them in the Bazaar Side-streets, especially if you have access to the University investigation. Build up Investigating in the University, and cash it in the Flit by Raiding a Message Drop. You'll get a lot of Cryptic Clues to convert into Appalling Secrets.
The Flit is almost certainly the best place to get Brilliant Souls.

Please do not send SMEN, cat boxes, or Affluent Reporter requests. All other social actions are welcome.

And the Newspaper (if you have one) is a good source for the Journals of Infamy for buying Use of Villains in the Side-Streets, with a paper run netting 110 Journals.

I'm sorry, but due to policy clarifications, I will no longer be giving detailed mechanics advice on the forums.
If you still need help, try the IRC channel.

Just to confirm: I can have a Newspaper, a Gang of Hoodlums, and either a Salon or an Orphanage; it's only a choice between Salon and Orphanage, and the others I can switch out at will, yes?

Exactly. You have to chose what to concert your Townhouse into. Salon or Orphanage. The others have no restrictions.
