An estimate of 5 progress/action leads to an EPA of ~1 for the easiest Flash Lay and 2.5 for the harder one. | An estimate of 5 progress/action leads to an EPA of ~1 for the easiest Flash Lay and 2.5 for the harder one. | ||

+ | There is an alternative use for [[A Flash Lay: a New Scheme]] that has nothing to do with actually completing the Lay. By carefully manipulating your [[Scandal]], you can enter and exit the Flash Lay in 2 actions, refilling your Opportunity Deck in the process. This is a useful and vital component of other Card-drawing-based grinds (or just when you're trying to draw a particular card), and is particularly valuable to Exceptional Friends (who have a larger deck). | ||

+ | Note that access to [[University Laboratory (Place)]] allows the same thing for the same number of actions, without the need for items or Scandal manipulation. | ||

+ | The key items are a [[Modish Bonnet]], [[Pair of Scarlet Stockings of Dubious Origin]], and [[Barrel with Leather Shoulder-Straps]], which (as of March 2020) are the only 3 [[:Category:Scandal Items|Scandal-increasing items]]. The first two are buyable and cheap, but the Barrel needs 10 [[Renown: Bohemians]], which requires some investment. Once you have them, get your unmodified Scandal to 2 and equip the items. The options in [[A Flash Lay: a New Scheme]] check unmodified Scandal, so you can enter with < 3, but once inside a ''modified'' Scandal of 5 or more gets you kicked out again via [[Shed your false identity and its bad reputation]]. As long as you keep your other menaces down, your Scandal at exactly 2, and you have enough actions, you can repeat this indefinitely. | ||
