Influence is a metric which measures your general sway in the world.
Social Influence is gained by being more generally visible in the game
and the world, so being out in public more, visible on the wholist etc. It
can be gained, in particular, by hanging out and RPing in the shop currently
listed as the Peak Hours shop and by buying items from stores currently
listed as the Peak Hours store.
Social Influence can be used to praise or diss other character which
can boost or penalize their popularity, appearance, or standing in a
faction or cult.
Scheme influence is earned by setting one of your contacts to the
‘planning’ job and it is used to launch schemes as well as for creating
cults.
Society influence is earned differently depending on the society you
are in and only used for the society type of praise/diss to effect
the standing of others within that group.
In The Illusium Court it is primarily earned by earning political capital for
the society.
In The Hollow Conclave it is primarily earned by victimizing helpless
characters.
In The Iron Moon Lodge it is primarily earned by winning fights, contributing
items from slain NPCs and using ‘roughup’ on enemies.
In The Sons of Olympia it is primarily earned by using ‘roughup’ on enemies,
running schemes, and planning/attending city raids.
In The Last Vigil it is primarily earned by tormenting helpless supernatural
allies and enemies.
