From Fallen London Wiki
I told a friend that the SMEN story was A Thing and he decided to start playing Fallen London after that description alone. I want to know, if I myself gain any unaccountably peckish (if I get a starveling cat I'm sending it straight to my friend but I'll gain UP for it) and then opt out of SMEN, will this quality protect me from further UP or from gaining more SMEN? Will I still see the black-bordered cards afterward?
