*label party_preparations
…
*set memphis_reception_planner given_name
*if discretion < 65
As you begin to prepare for the reception, the thought occurs to you that you might have oversold yourself.
*choice
*selectable_if ((discretion > 30) or (creation > 1)) #No, no…I am more than capable of throwing this party.
*set discretion %+5
*if (creation > 1) and (wealth >= 10000)
*set party_preparations 2
*if (creation = 3) and (wealth >= 15000)
*set party_preparations 3
*if (creation > 3) and (wealth >= 20000)
*set party_preparations 4
*set wealth -(creation * 5000)
*set party_preparations_1873 “success”
*goto prepare_alone
*elseif (creation >= 1) and (wealth >= 5000)
*set wealth -5000
*set party_preparations 1
*set party_preparations_1873 “fair”
*goto prepare_alone
*elseif wealth < 5000
*set party_preparations 0
*set party_preparations_1873 “failure”
Unfortuantely, you do not have the funds to execute your vision for the evening. You do your best to scrounge about for materials, but there is no time to successfully prepare.
*goto prepare_alone
*else
*set party_preparations 0
*set party_preparations_1873 “failure”
What are the best maker and starting stats to focus on for wanting to make myself more well known in the society and becoming senator?
Ok, I’m seeing it but if you check out the code for the 1873 reception, there is no unique reaction for a preparation value of 4. The highest you can get is:
*elseif party_preparations >= 3
*set carothers_rapport %+20
*set santagostino_rapport %+10
*set coffin_rapport %+10
*set lockridge_rapport %+10
*set lesczynski_rapport %+10
*set malloy_rapport %+10
*set bailey_rapport %+10
*set partridge_rapport %+10
*set pickering_rapport %+10
*set thank_carothers_thought false
Carothers, standing amidst several other individuals, claps his hands at the sight of you. His voice booms through the room as he addresses you. All turn in your direction.
"${mr} ${surname}! What a wonderful event you have organized for us!"
*if discretion < 60
*set circle_presence true
"You do me too much honor, Quaestor."
"Come now, you have thrown a magnificent soirée. We must enjoy it!" He gestures for you to join his circle.
*if party_preparations > 3
*set earned_status true
Perhaps the Preparations 4 is a bit of old code?

*if party_preparations > 3
*set earned_status true
Here it is…> 3 means well…4…and then, only for party_preparations > 3, do you get an increase in your
status…
*if earned_status
To close the evening, Carothers gathers the other vampires around to publicly thank you for the effort you put into the reception. The attendees murmur their approval, and each bids you goodnight as they file out the door. It seems you have made your mark upon them.
*set status +1
One does not need Creation 4 to increase status from Carothers. Creation 3 is enough, provided that one starts early in preparing the reception, that is, during the time when one can choose to correspond with the various quaestors and senators.

You’ll want Charm, Perception, and Creation usually to get high Status. Carlos gives Perception.
Minor thing I caught at Marigny’s party that I think might be a bit wonky
The Deacon bit at the end is referring to the Bishop above but with Villanueva as a sire makes it sound like Gonsoulin is with Lafitte.

I think facing West and surviving should give us an increase in Status. That’s a pretty noble feat.

Is there any way to create a cult that worship us?
just make sure you’re superstitions and hubris above 60

Alright
@jasonstevanhill Perhaps a bit late in the day, but could you add a girl counterpart to the Puritan Yankee character? Possibly a puritan girl that absconded her community and decided to explore the big wide world. Thought it sounded quite interesting as a concept.
Hey, is there anyway to survive attack to my cult?
Personally survive? Yes. Have the cult survive? No.
Most unfortunate :<
You actually don’t need to be superstitious to found the cult, I learned. It does limit the options for your cult style, though.
edit: the most important requirement is the idea_for_cult variable which can be acquired at multiple instances. A few I can recall from my head is your sire having delusions of divinity and speaking with the priest in Karlstein who points out the supernatural nature of your hold over his parish, which also gives you the idea.

If your Dominus believes they are a god and you spend time with them in Memphis you also get the idea.
