So I reached Burrow Infra Mump. Because of RP and resources, I won't reach the Diocesan Church of Hell. I love the lore about hell, it is one of the best parts from FL. The wiki has, as ever, a teasing but censored Text. Could somebody help me and comment oder DM me the complete text from the Storylets there?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrow_Mump
If everyone else already knew this, I hope that I don't seem dim for not doing so. Am currently wondering if it's literally meant to be the same place or if Burrow-Infra-Mump was just inspired by the real life place.
And the Board Scretary has found a way to squeeze a new meeting in the calendar, which is available as long as you haven't build the station yet.
I just notices the mouse-over text on the time lock changed from "later" to a specific date...and it's only 3 days away!
On a side note: While the first three stations were fun to just jump in and figure out on one's own, the last two have gotten so complex and ressource-intensive that dabbling without reading the wiki and planning things out on paper is almost certain to result in frustration. Hopefully the new station will be a bit more intuitive than the last two...
Feel free to to comment on what type of church you made, what choices led up to that point, and why you made it that way.
I wanted to figure out a path through the Church development story line to make sure I could get the outcome I wanted, so I used the wiki to compile a document with all the Church quality affecting choices I could find. It's a bit messy, but thought I'd share it anyway in case anyone else might find it useful.

This is purely a mechanical list. I've only noted prerequisites if they're other choices in Burrow, or if they need items or companions that come from Fate stories or time-limited events. I've largely ignored anything that can be ground up, even if it's locked behind station developments, etc.
In his media scrum he mentioned they tested and made sure he does not have the mumps
I need it at 50 to build a statue in burrow-infra-mump, but i'm at 32 only, and grinding the points one by one would already take a long time, but it's made even worse by the fact i think i can only raise it with some cards?
Been a while but I had some plotting to do. So here it is, for what it's worth. As ever the usual warnings as to Spoilers of many, many things, typing errors, bad spelling and a "plot" (if it can even be dignified with that name) that will probably makje no sense unless you have reached the heady heights (or should that be depths?) of Fallen London.
So deep breaths, brace yourself, and do try to avoid contact with A Certain Gentleman featuring herein...

It was bitterly cold out here. Perhaps Anarchist's Sable wasn't the warmest clothing to chose but there was a point to wearing it. Same for the Sporing Bonnet. It was a lure to entice a very particular person out a very long way.
At last, here they came. A Merry Gentleman with a dazzling smile and shiny Brass Buttons. He did not drag his feet through the snow like lesser mortals, likewise the life-sapping wind that could freeze the blood appeared not to bother him. As he approached the figure in black with the ill-advised hat the figure seemed to blur and was replaced with a hooded figure. A Master of The Bazaar. A Master with an ostentatious Cane dripping with jewels and a rather starteld Goldfish in a sealed jar to be sure but a Master nonetheless. The Master bowed with a slight creak.
"Glad you could come, Your Majesty."
"What's the idea of dragging me out here?" The Manager of The Royal Bethlehem Hotel demanded. He was still smiling but the set of the jaw betrayed that he was not amused. "Wait one moment. I know you, don't I? Yes, yes, you've stayed with me at my Hotel many times. I never forget a guest."
"Nor an opponent," the Master replied easily as, juggling both Cane and Goldfish, a scroll was produced. "You're very difficult to get ahold of when you're actually needed, Your Majesty."
"Don't call me that!"
"But it's your Rank and your Title. No matter what has happened since then. I feel it important to get these things right, Your Majesty. Here. Sorry, didn't have time to track downb someone who could translate it into Cuneiform for you so English with a biut of The Correspondence will have to suffice."
"What is it?" The Manager demanded suspiciously while making no movement to accept the scroll.
"My Letter of Resignation of course! I'm Resigning from The Marvellous. Never again shall I play it in any form save to demonstrate., teach,

What do you want to see with the creation of the Railyard Worker's City?
In truth, I'm hoping for another Burrow-Infra-Mump style creation. Something where you're able to customize the city even further, and able to add new buildings or invest in new businesses.
Invest in a theater, so that the>! Manager's Nightmares!< can have someplace to entertain themselves.
Build a monument to >!Beatrice!<, which may, or may not, speak to you.
Build a gambling house and den of ill repute! Bender would be proud!
While grinding for renown 55 I found myself frustrated with my seemingly awful luck with drawing moods, to minimise this I compiled a list of useful favour sources to maximise the number of renown raises I got out of my moods.
I thought I'd share it here in case other people find it useful, it is intended for late-game players, I've added some helpful (hopefully) notes on the requirements of each source. I haven't included the default faction cards, or the connected pets, since every faction gets them (except rubbery men who don't get a pet for some reason).
Watchful:
The Church:
One of the few factions that can feasibly be done in one mood, since it has a reliable high yield favour source.
Storylets:
Hand over your hou... snake (Hounds of heaven can be traded in for 3 favours each, since there is no limit to how many you have you can simply prep a bunch in advance. I'd recommend trading in two then using one of the following to get to 7 favours.)
London Cards:
A day at the races
A Day with God's Editors (Membership of God's Editors)
Upper River Cards:
A Jurisdictional Dispute (Must have built to Evenlode)
God's Editors at Burrow-Infra-Mump (An Outpost of God's Editor - Burrow-Infra-Mump)
Under the Statue at Moulin (Requires a historical statue and a thesis about London's history.)
Shadowy:
Criminals:
This is potentially a quick faction if you have a reliable way to get into New-Newgate.
If you don't mind your criminal record then you can get suspicion 7 and equip a pirate hat. Otherwise you can prep a heist on the brass embassy for a 50% chance to get in.
Seekers unusually have an advantage here, since they can get in in a single action. There is no castle in which one may use a discordant missive to move straight to prison.
London Storylets:
The Rewards of Intrigue (Too many actions to grind, prep in advance, conflicts with urchins.)
London Cards:
Dirigible theft
Visit your acquaintance, the Repentant Forger
Etiquette for the Ruthless (Ruthless Henchman)
Overly alluring? (Alluring Accomplice)
The Life of Crime (Gang of Hoodlums)
Upper River Cards:
Respectable Passengers (Must have built to Evenlode)
Other(New Newgate):
Bribery - A better breed of shiv (1 action to trade a shiv for a favour.)
Revolutionaries:
Another potentially quick faction provided you have access to Moulin. If you're focusing this I'd recommend drawing in the upper river to try and get Which MeeTitle. Larceny with the Clay Highwayman's gang only goes up to Burrow-Infra-Mump, and I just got the Moulin in Gaslight card, so I was wondering if it'd be worth the effort of maintaining 4 levels of Darkness across the stations or just up until a certain point
Title says most of it, really.
Like any normal person, I'm trying to ensure that every stop on my railway has a giant statue of myself nearby. However, the one at Burrow-infra-Mump needs me to grind up Approaching, mostly gained from arbitrary mood cards, to 50. I only have 34.
Is there a good repeatable guide to raise the stat, or am I doomed to play the roulette wheel?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The doctor says it terminal.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
And boy are my arms legs.
