So, 1 key or Information costs 5 casing, and with a gang of hoodlums, 5 casing is worth 1.4 actions. Each card that consumes one key or information costs 2.4 actions, and on average, cards give you 2 making waves per action (in well-guarded, where Burglar's Progress is worth 3 mw cp). Now, the effect of the immediate cost of 10 casing technically approaches 0 the longer your heist is. So heists, should they go long enough, are worth 2 mwcp/a. However, as most people want less than around 12 making waves, this is worthless.

Also, you will eventually die to the sleeping dogs card no longer how much advantage you have. Perilous may honestly be better; you can circumvent the sleeping...dogs? with skills.

I've been taking a break for a bit, but I've just come back to FL, and...what should I do? I'm doing Evo right now, but I usually like to have one short-term goal (individual Evolution goals) and one long term, for when I have spare actions but not much time. I do not yet have POSI2. What should I do?

10th order influence is easy, and that plus >!teresa !<plus the above lore wins me the game. but...I'm having trouble finding lantern lore, and upgrading it.

There was an old april fools strip that activated push notifications, and one of them counts how many times you clicked, and the title changes over time. I got up to 25k after this, but I didn't get any new dialogue. Does anyone know if this is as far as it goes?

So I've played a fair bit of CS, never won, and just finished the TaN demo. There's a long under a tarp in there, but it seems to have...possessed? a human. Either that, or it considers itself separate from it's human appearance. Really, it just talks really weird. Why is that? Also, why is it under a tarp, and why does talking about it make it stronger? And why don't they want to make it stronger?

All I really know about longs is that they're relatively weak Mansus residents.

Like, I have an issue with them too, but it's toxic and it really brings down this sub. It doesn't really help the problem or add anything. Also, seems to violate rule 5.

(I'd like to hear arguments for not doing it, also)

I think just giving them one ethic point would be fair, since a) balancing and b)1 being will always have less complex beliefs than a whole civilization, but still. Like, surely a specific Wilderness can be afraid of aliens or love learning about science or believe in freedom for all (alright maybe not authoritarian/egalitarian. Rebrand them as individualist/collectivist, for all the civics that involve autonomous/directly controlled drones?). It's just kinda always annoyed me because it makes roleplaying hard, and a materialist gestalt should have buffed relations with a materialist empire.

What?! This seems to be a reference to the "sorry I stole your flag song" from calvinball.

You know, like how most characters go by "the addled detective" or so on instead of their name. I'm wondering what y'all have came up with for your pcs!

I personally am mulling the benefits of "the twice-entangled socialite" for my character who is mostly Society and Great Game related. I really need to fit in some wordplay, though, and I can't think of anything to go in place of socialite that makes sense for both fields.

I have accumulated a large amount of UP, but all of the resulting cards decrease it. Are there any convenient ways to discard these cards? The internet says leaving london (the Zee, Pickpocket's Promenade) do so, but the internet is wrong.

I took your advice, for those of you who said to free it. I...don't really know what to do, now.

I'm going to go with the freedom option, I think. I'm a spy character, and more allies is always good. Although I also like Hedonism...you see why the decision was so hard.

So, I've been doing Light Fingers, and it seems like I will (according to MF) be able to prevent the 4th City from being replaced. I happen to know that in the Heart's Desire ambition there is an option to save london from getting squished. Do all of the ambitions have a "save london" ending?

One of the paths I did is the stranger. I noticed that the path I took had 5 branches, which each had two polarizations. If we multiply that by the number of staircases, don't we get 30 endings?! Plus all of the dialogue inside of my cage, and...how much is in this game?!

EDIT: oh also it's an amazing game that somehow has realistic characters despite the absurdity of the context and so on and so forth. Figured that was a given but better safe than sorry.

I'm trying to run a nomad empire that is just kinda done with the raider thing. They have the technology and instincts for raiding, and like the nomadic lifestyle by now, but are just running from the Khan. In other words, diplomacy and waystations, with weapons for the worst case. Low tech. Any advice for this is appreciated.

It feels like requiring approval for all portrayals of characters as kids is an overstep. There are plenty of characters (lace, sherma, nuu, etc) who's age is unconfirmed. I get that it's been causing discourse because of the shipping, but they're no more real than the ships; it's all pure headcanon. A rule like 'no child portrayals in ship content' or 'posts portraying characters as children may be removed at the mod team's discretion' would be much more comfortable, I think. This just seems like it's going to hurt people who were totally unrelated to the discourse.

How do you remove Notoriety? I get rid of dread by getting Fascination and I get rid of Fascination by getting Dread, but I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of Notoriety (without high moth followers).

I'll accept pointers as to which direction to investigate, but please don't say 'just read'.

On the LNF wikipedia page, it says that "The game is expected to be released after 2026". Do they have some knowledge we don't? It's just as likely that it releases next month as 2030, right?
