Talk:Pursue a Scheme: encourage the wise and the wicked to attend your Salon/@comment-38.99.136.166-20140226160549/@comment-23895476-20140302072314

So far I've been getting an average of ~6 CPs per attempt:

3(?)-4(?)-6(?)-6(3)-7(?)-8(?) in 5 attempts

I'm pretty sure that the old report(s) of going from 1 to 11 to 15 was not counted in CPs, but rather in whole levels. The "x" in "You now have 4 - Half-Remembered x Scheme: a Salon" certainly indicates that, as only 'linear qualities' are shown as "Number x Thing", whereas 'pyramid qualities' counted in CPs are not. So 1 to 11 to 15 were probably 10 and 4 levels, not 65 and 54 CPs. Whether that was actually so I couldn't say for sure, but now it certainly isn't the case. So don't expect 60 CPs. Expect 1-10.

According to other alternatives a salon still seems like the fastest way to make a lot of waves, but unless you intend to do that it might not be worth the initial investment. There are certainly ways to make a smaller amount of waves a lot quicker, such as with private suppers or converting certain resources. But free evenings and resources to convert tend to run out before you get hundreds of Making Waves CPs, which is necessary for the higher levels of Notability.
