Tied romance progress now blocks winning a lady’s favour.

If several players are equally close to her, no one wins her favour yet. One player may be courting her, two may be charming her, three may be merely flirting — but a tie means unresolved competition.
Very inconvenient. Very social. Very Vienna.

Small Congress scandal: at the opening ball of the Congress of Vienna, rumour had it that a quarter of the 10,000 silver teaspoons bearing the imperial crest quietly disappeared into the crowd.

I would treat this more as a perfect Congress anecdote than a precise inventory report — but honestly, that makes it even better.
Diplomacy, spectacle, gossip… and apparently a few unofficial souvenirs.
