Social Actions

IntroEdit

Social Actions are actions in London which as the name already implies are actions you undertake with a friend. There are two main type's of Social Actions, those which you do in good faith and those in which you betray your friend.

A Brief Overview of the Myself/Profile pagesEdit

Wiki note: This overview is meant for new players. Almost everybody should have at least an idea what their myself/profile page is. If that's the case feel free to skip forward a bit

MyselfEdit

The Myself page describes who you are. It is the opposite of the Possessions page which describes what you have. The Myself page is accessible on desktop by clicking on Myself(above the main story) and on Mobile by clicking on the button with a head shape and then on Myself. On this page you'll find among other things your Scrapbook and your Mantelpiece. These are used to display qualities your especially proud of. Underneath these two you should see a button labeled View Profile, click on it and it should open a new tab showing your profile.

Profile Edit

This is how other players see you in-game. It is accessed by either clicking on the View Profile button or by using this URL https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/(your characters name). This page show among other things your current Equipment, Journal, Scrapbook and Mantelpiece Lodgings and Cameo. At the top of the page there will be a line of text containing your characters name and description.

Finding FriendsEdit

If you already have an circle of Neathy friends you're free to skip this part. Otherwise there are three great ways to find friends:

• Convert your friends to Fallen London. If you convince people you know in real life to start playing this game as well, this gives you an already established group of friends
• The official forums have an topic dedicated to finding new people [1]
• The Fallen London subreddit [2] has a new thread every month to find new people to play with.

Adding FriendsEdit

Okay I've found someone who sounds pretty cool, how do I make them my friend? There are three ways to add people as your friend but two of them are the same except for how to get to the option:

• If you've found someone on either the Forums or subreddit they'll have posted a link to their profile somewhere. If you click on it there is a add to contacts button underneath their Cameo.
• If they didn't post a link to their profile page but only their in-game name or you got only an username from your converted friend there are two ways you can add them
  • At the top of the screen there should be a button called account settings. If you click on it you should see your contacts. Above your already existing contacts there should be a Add contact field. Simply type in the username of your friend and click on add
  • You can do the same as mentioned above in a page after you've already selected a Social Action.

Sending Social ActionsEdit

Almost all Social Actions are send from your social engagements (bottom right) with the exception of card based Social Actions (like Investigating the Affluent Photographer)

An Interlude: AcquaintancesEdit

To become acquainted you have to Send a Calling Card to another player. This will make them your acquaintance and give you a single level of Social Influence. Social Influence doesn't have a lot of in game effects except for two:

• You can only have 90 Social Influence at a time. More than that and you'll need to drop acquaintances.
• Having 90 Social Influence is one of the possible requirements for London's Sinew and therefore for A Paramount Presence. However considering that this is a beginners guide you really shouldn't be thinking about that just yet(If you do check A Person of Some Importance (Guide) dor details)

Types of Social ActionsEdit

There are a lot of Social Actions most of them are listed below. The actions with betrayal behind them are actions which betray your friend doing bad things to him instead of helping them.

AttributesEdit

MarriageEdit

You can also marry another player at the end of a series of Social Actions all of which are send from Attend to Matters of the Heart.

• You start with Admit your affection for an acquaintance which when they accept, will give you Seen with this will unlock a few romantic actions with them.
  • Ask your sweetheart to an evening of restrained sophistication
  • Ask your sweetheart to an indulgent evening
  • Call on your sweetheart

When you are ready to take things further with them you can propose to them in two ways

• Make a simple proposal of marriage
• Make a grand proposal of marriage

Once you've proposed you will get Organising a Wedding which when it reaches high enough levels will allow you to do various marriage ceremony's. You can also dump all the responsibility on them using Foist the Organisation of your Wedding onto your partner.

Once you've married you can do three new actions with them:

• Invite your spouse to join you in sampling Prisoner's Honey
• Invite your spouse out for a decorous evening
• Invite your spouse to an indulgent evening out

And you can of course divorce them but that's sad so I won't be going into it.

Dine with a friendEdit

You can both dine at a friends house as well as meeting them for dinner in one of the city's reputable and devil-run restaurants(on the plus side you have eaten until you have eaten brimstone-steaks)

• Prepare a Private Supper for an Acquaintance, gather ingredients, cook several courses, and invite an acquaintance for dinner. Or just serve them a severed poisoned head.
• Benefit from flattery at Dante's Grill. This option allows the recipient to drain up to 100 CP of Making Waves from the sender, while giving the sender a large reduction in Wounds and Suspicion. This is maybe useful when done between a PoSI and a non PoSI as the later has no use for Making Waves.

Plant BattlesEdit

Once you have a high enough level of Attending to the Needs of a Singular Plant you can duel other players plant's in a series of duels.
