Okay, I was thinking: One day, people will get to be a POSI, or maybe they want it but don 't know how. I was thinking it might be a good idea to have a thread about POSI Status: Important Things to note, how to get there ETC. Feel free to ask questions too, though others will need to answer.
My question: As a Non POSI, I find that my menaces go up quickly sometimes. I end up using a lot of tonics, which is probably bad. But I am given to note these are less effective when a POSI. I was wondering some good tips for keeping menaces low when both a POSI and not.

I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien

You get a lot of menaces as a new PoSI - at least, I do because the new stories have high stat requirements.
Mahogany Hall isn't the most lucrative area for Echoes, but it is good for training stats if menaces become a problem. Some of the storylets there give Plagued by a Popular Song on failure, which is much easier to deal with than regular menaces.

I get rid of Nightmares by Gawking at the Somnolent Hyena in the Labyrinth of Tigers.
I get rid of Wounds by sleeping them off. The one vice DragonRidingSorceress has not indulged in is Laudanum.
I reduce Scandal by going to Church.
Suspicion is the only thing I haven't found a good way to get rid of yet - although after reading lady ciel's comment, I think I'll be going to join a club.

DragonRidingSorceress is an Author of good standing. Mostly good standing. She's happy to accept any social action except Photographer and Loitering, but requests warnings before duping/poisoning/etc.
Seeker of Names is a... being with an obsession. They're willing to accept all invitations.
One who seeks to know all that is and may be. One who dances in the silence of the void. One whose fantasies make the reality come alive.

For wounds, if your dangerous is high enough, I recommend paying jade to having something to eat in the first coil of the labyrinth.
For suspicion I tend to ask my dazed raven advisor for advice, you don't lose anything if you are unlucky and 25 rostygold seems fair enough when I am lucky.

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.

Another piece of advice for future POSIs: start saving your money (or rather, things that can become money) now. Many of the fun things to do as a POSI are _expensive_. Having a great deal of expendable resources available when one become a POSI is very useful.

Also, just as a note: when you're a POSI, you can remove the Artist's Model from Your opportunities deck entirely! All you have to do is START (not complete) the storyline to take her as your spouse from the gold-bordered card that turns up after you become a POSI. I haven't seen her City Vices card since I did, and you can still pursue other spouses since it doesn't commit you to anything yet.
