Vendor faction question
 

Anyone confirm what faction Marfen Binkdirple is on?

I started out dubious. I already maxed out Gem Choppers, Merchants of AkAnon and King AkAnon. And I've gotten about 175 positive hits for Solusek Mining Company.

And he's still dubious.

That last name though. Clearly you need Binkdirple faction. His children need to get through college and could use a few extra plat.

According to the wiki he is also on Miners Guild 628 faction. Fortunately there are easy ways to raise it. Like killing dwarf bandits in Butcherblock, such as Pegleg and his gang.

Well he can't be on both factions. It's either Solusek Mining Company or Miners Guild 628 or something else. Would be nice to know which before I do all the work.

Merchants never con lower than dubious, even if your standing with their group is much, much lower. This can mean a LOT of latent faction increases before you break into apprehensive - then it will progress normally.

Oh, and it's almost certainly Solusek Mining Company - Miners Guild 628 is dwarves.
