Oo. Thanks for mentioning this - we don't want that restriction on there anymore. We've removed it internally, so soon the 'Plotting Against the Masters' requirement should go away and you'll be able to increase your Connected: Revolutionaries at the Carnival more easily.

And for those speculating on the new stats, here's a tidbit - there's a third, too: Bizarre. That one's harder to get. We'll reveal more about what they're for soon. More announcements to come, too! Another one hopefully today, but maybe tomorrow. Today has turned into a crazy day! Zooming down to London for a meeting.
