You see why I spend so much time in the Tomb Colonies?

Also the baker just healed wounds and made me sad.

I did me Exceptional Friend content and tool souls out of monkeys that had been placed there from some old city or something?  It was pretty neat and fun.  Not sure if worth the sub by itself by it dig the 40 Actions as well.

Edit - my latest trip to the colonies wasn't even from failing checks and blowing out my Scandal.  It was from successfully throwing a docuhebag out a window for talking shit about my witty beau.

Fire Emblem Fates Revelations: How nice of IntSys to make an optional stealth mission in which your lockpicker getting dogpiled by a whole bunch of strong enemies near the end. Ugh, that was a waste of time.

Bohemian path best path. Hungover Terrier is named The Chosen Juan which is a fantastic pun in three languages.

I finished seducing the vicar's sister but I can't help but wonder if it would have been worth blowing a few days worth of turns trying to seduce both of them at the same time. Alas, I shall never know.

It was worth it.  Fen and I both opted for that one.  Value for money.

Yep it was worth it. I don't think you get big rewards or anything but it was worth it.
The third romance option in the palace only lowers fascinating if you fail, and gives you whispered hints + connection to society if you win. I have been getting ridiculous amounts of persuasive that way.
I have finished the mysterious benefactor storyline and the entire thing was lovely. I am still very wary of my plant in my lodgings + dreams of death by water.

I also got the subscription, the pentecost monkey story was nice but a little short? 40 max actions are cool.

Whale Bros Whale Bros!

I didn't investigate the options enough.  I have been mashing out the first option for days.  So much Scandal.  On the other hand I have got lots of Persuasion from Confident Smiles in the Tomb Colonies.  Got enough Perauasion and excess Smiles to pick the be awesome option for having 100 Persuasion and 10 Smiles.

There is supposed to be some decent stuff in there Fenrir and this is in no way me saying to do that so I can catch up.

I am like Greter I don't mind spending a reasonable amount of money on F2P I enjoy?
Especially now that I'm filthy rich according to my low standards
It was better spent that those weekly 1$ relics in FFRK that's for sure

Nah he is right this is literally 100 percent% the same thing in exact the same situation with the same outcome.

While dining with the Zee Captain and the Tomb Colonist, you chance a bit of ribbing at their expense at a joint investment the two had made. The entire pub goes silent. The Zee Captain turns to you, gravely. "I am not a man to be taken lightly, boy. You would do well to remember that." 

The tomb colonist mumbles something under its bandages. You think it's telling you to suck it's cock? It's almost certainly telling you to suck its cock, but you can't tell if he means it amicably or menacingly. You err on the latter, and excuse yourself for the evening.

Persuasive is increasing.

Persuasion 69 failed in a challenge! (Simple Challenges mean you learn less.)

Scandal has risen to 2 - Brazen!

---

In all seriousness, though, guys. Jokes. It's OK.

Honestly the only reason I haven't subscribed myself (and frankly bought Sunless Sea to immerse myself even further in this setting) is because I need to save money because I'm going to be unemployed in a few months.

EDIT: ALTERNATELY

Yeah the difference between this and me with FFRK is that I still haven't spent any money on RK. O SNAP

Fen: fair

Gref: your intonation between suck my cock (good) and suck my cock (bad) is hard to pick up to the untrained ear
tomb colonist is such an ugly language

40 actions spent wooing in the court.  Net progress 3/4 of a point of Fascination.  By 35
Actions I had actively lost ground.

71% chance of success.

My VENGEANCE quest took me to the Forgotten Quarter. I'd thought grinding at court was bad because of all that scandal, but failure here gets me wounds and/or nightmares and I have no efficient way to deal with the latter. After muscling through all the required challenges I am at 5 for nightmares, which is apparently where "bad things may happen." I can only hope my goldfish protects me. Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo. I have to go to the university now but am nowhere near being able to access it. I never want to go back to the Forgotten Quarter except oh dammit I have to in order to unlock the university. Why was the palace easier to reach than academia.

Short version, I am chess-fighting all of you for Sudden Insights.

67% gives no progress on average because you lose 2x more than you would win.
So you weren't that far from the average

Also, so many whispered hints

For nightmares I drink wine at the carnival. ... It does raise scandal on a loss though!

All-Girls' High School Lesbian Nancy Drew Student Council Simulator (Black Closet) - I took up the mantle of Student Council president at the outset of my senior year, tasked with keeping order and preserving the reputation of the school by any means necessary.  I was informed there was a traitor on the council who would attempt to thwart my plans, but soon uncovered their identity, and shored up their loyalty until they confessed their schemes.  I found lost students, stifled a gambling ring, solved the mystery of the identical test scores, and ensured that the schools' top artists and athletes excelled in interscholastic competitions by...removing impediments to their success.  As the semester progressed, I began dating a fellow senior - only to be discovered by her temperamental diva of a younger sister, who quit the council, leaving me in a bind.  At the same time, I was forcibly recruited by a secret society, who threatened my friends if I did not cooperate in driving certain students to "voluntarily" withdraw from the school.  I am playing along for now, but soon I will unmask them for all to see.  So far, so good.

Tried this instead. Spend 3/4 actions on drinking -> spend remaining 1/4 in church to remove accumulated scandal.

At least nightmares are much lower.

Fallen London - I banged someone as sarcastic as I am.  We did it in the Duchess Wagon.  Scandal for days.  Afterwards some composer singing some shit.  Set him straight by singing it like it was back at him.  0 scandal.

I gave up on 70% odds with 2% success rates and just ate Scandal.  Feels good man.

Fallen London:

"With a great heave, you hurl the Saturnine Physician through both the window shutters and the glass. The noise, here in the quiet Palace, is enormous. Under the window, he bounces off some iron railings and crashes into a pair of stationary velocipedes.
The Barbed Wit applauds you silently as the servants come to drag you into exile. Her smile as she watches you may make the next few weeks in the tomb-colonies almost bearable."

Holy crap there is additional super context-sensitive text when an action raises your scandal enough to send you to the colonies?

I think some actions just auto do it.  Mirdering someone in the palace is pretty hardcore.
