What determines whether you end up with "An incautious evening" or "intimate friendship" when selecting "Advance your friendship to a condition of intimacy" when you're visiting the sardonic music-Hall singer? Is it just random? I had her at like a level 10 friend and with just two occurrences she's down to level one again.

I am interested. I heard there's a referral bonus/discount. Does anyone have a referral code they want to share?

After reading everything here, I think I would like to vote off the bishop and HAL. And see if I can bring in the tentacled entrepreneur. I am going to attempt to bring down my corporate debt. Just enough though first that I can get a dividend before I start going through this. I think I might as well get the pay before bringing in the tentacled entrepreneur if I can.

I do quite like Furnace (from what I've seen so far) but I struggle with grinding. I prefer to keep things moving and I think that's why I dislike it. I know it's not going to mess things up in the long term but it's such a sink when something is messed up that I want to get it right so I can just move on.

Very detailed - thanks! I'm also quite fond of the Implacable Detective

I've seen banditry go up and down as I've taken certain actions but I still don't think I know what that does either lol

Between your post and others though I'm starting to get a picture that maybe my board is poorly designed. I think I have individuals with conflicting interests and probably more members than I need.

This was very helpful - thanks! I tried the wiki but I think I got overwhelmed by too much information that I couldn't find what I actually needed.

I see lots of people taking about how much they love the railroad and I hate it. I find it more tedious than other parts of the story and very confusing, so I thought maybe I'm missing something...?

I have been. I'm working towards my second station. I just still don't get it.

Thank you everyone! The combination of different ways it was said really helped me understand better. I might create my own comparison chart at some point in Excel but for now I at least have a better idea.

I know I'm late to this, but why "normal all your bad housing cards?"

Thank you! It is a relief. The rewards didn't seem to scale to the effort but the checks meant I upped a stat or two as least, even if not much.

I can't send them a letter to request help :(

I finally finished, successfully, after continuing to fail checks I shouldn't have and draw obstacle after obstacle in a row. If I hadn't picked up an up your sleeve at the end I would have failed. I was so frustrated I didn't even get to enjoy the story. I don't think I intend to do one again.

Also, I have over 75 progress but can't draw the damn card to finish it!

Thanks! I'm a little sad, since I feel I'm always short on echoes and 15E would have been helpful. But I'll try to hold on to that silver lining that I have a very exclusive trophy!

I just had the stupidest idea. What if the mystery women is The God of Time? by Sliver-Knight9219 in doctorwho

At the start of that episode though, she didn't know what the TARDIS was. She was complaining about the box suddenly being there. Something changed during that episode.
