Maybe it's just me, but I'm wondering if visiting the carnival is useful? I visited the house of mirrors recently, and the ambition mirrors were interesting. Raised my persuasive, but I couldn't see how much... but it cost me watchful and my glorious hedonist quality. I've still got some more tickets, what should I do with them?

After cashing in Connections for rewards, the Carnival is a possible starting place for building them up again (at the Big Top and the Sideshows, but no higher than 10). Someone in dire need of bats can hope to gain some by Lizard Throwing at the Games Tent. Also, while building up qualities like Fascinating…, Inspired…, or Investigating…, Madame Shoshana is quite helpful in raising them.If you fancy a visit to the Mirror Marches, gaze into the mahogany-framed mirror (you need ten Memories of light to unlock this, but you'll lose only three). And if you should need to go mad or even to die for some purpose, the Dream's Mirror, or the Heart's Mirror respectively, are the fastest ways to achieve this.
These are mostly obvious and none of them may be new to you. But it's called Mrs Plenty's Most Distracting Carnival, not Mrs Plenty's Most Useful Carnival, after all...

The Refreshment Pavilion can be quite useful depending on your need. *Spoiler* When luck is with you, the hot spiced wine is handy for nightmares (and hedonism) and if you're seeking scandal, do try the mushrooms! *spoiler*

I greatly enjoy meeting delicious new friends and participating in deliciously exciting new adventures! Please feel free to drop a card to meet for dinner, exchange favors, give an interview, or any other activity that comes to mind. I DO particpate in exchanges requiring Fate, BUT you must contact me first; twitter, facebook, or here on the forums via PM.
Note: I am currently exchanging parcels with a large number of dear friends and my parcel opportunities are rare. I am always willing to exchange but your rate of return may be rather slow. To find others to exchange with I recommend the Starveling list.

If you have Nightmares: use Hot Wine to cure them; if you acquire unwanted Scandal in the process, then go to Lodgings and pray (reduces Scandal, practices Persuasion, increases Connected Church).

Hot wine is actually a poor choice for managing Nightmares. If you're not a PoSI, laudanum would be my recommendation.

I've never understood the appeal of laudanum. At an Echo a bottle, it seems massively inefficient.
Co-operative social action would be my recommendation.

Because of the cp/action, it's the most efficient (non-social) action. The echo cost is essentially a 1-action tax. It's 4 cp reduction for 2 actions.

I mainly use the carnival for raising connections. In a certain game it can be handy to jump to the Marshes for awhile.

Perhaps it's long past time to reconsider your attachment to the stuff.
I often feel that the fate locked option to remove it was made just for me...

And don't forget that if you have a Winsome Dispossessed Orphan, you can get all the laudanum you'd possibly need for free. I have 186 bottles of the stuff and I haven't bought any in ages.

Good point, although it's not entirely free. it does lower the action tax to 1/4 of an action though.

I think that Carnival is somewhere that's either used for beginners or someone who need quick connection fix and don't have "A Visit" card. While it is charming place, there's not much you can do there at even lower~mid level.

Bazaar is eternally sorrowful, always weeping in form of the Lacre and the Tear.
So Bazaar demands Love Stories from its Masters. It must consume our love to endure endless grief.
Maybe that's why Bazaar ate us. Maybe that's why we are "Delicious Friends".
