CHRISTMAS IN THE NEATH: A GUIDE

I see… This might be a bug, since my two other characters got 3 Pails from Snowbound! (TtH for them comes on Thu). Not sure though if should send a ticket to FBG, they must have recieved a lot already

That’s annoying I didn’t have enough money for fate before my last TTH but bought some as soon as I got paid so that I could get a Master to clear my path. I really was expecting at least one more snowfall in December.

Always report bugs when you see them, even if you aren’t sure if they are bugs. Complacency is a dangerous thing and I recommend eternal vigilance. I still remember how SMEN ended. A culture of silence is bad news plain and simple. Always report bugs.

time the healer didn’t give me the snowbound storylet, already reported to failbetter.

Not to mean to cause a panic, but just a heads up that response time may be slower than usual for Support due to the holidays until January 4 as I recently read a tweet here: https://twitter.com/EchoBazaar/status/680064186513264640

From the tweet:

I really hope this can get sorted out soon if it isn’t intentional since Snowbound is a time sensitive event and every pail (or taste, amongst other items, if you do the robe option) helps! :)

yes i know that is slower than the normal but seems that i’m not the only person with that bug, michael has it too

My alt got TtH last night. I think it wasn’t past midnight at GMT time zone. There was snowbound but no cards. I thought we were gonna get another batch of cards.

As a nonchristian, a don’t keep much track of this kind of things. But isn’t Christmas today? For what I know, it should be 26th. Anyway, this means I wouldn’t be able to reciprocate the cards sent to me in neither of my accounts. That is not nice.

This had me curious so I checked out the send Christmas card storylet and saw this message at the header:

You can only now buy it with 10 Fate or send any you stored from your last Time the Healer. This is quite unfortunate for my own plans of reciprocation too now. :(

My apologies, my intention was not to single you out. I used your post as reference to post a more general statement about the state of affairs for Support at this time for those who have not read the tweet about it. I still recommend, as NiteBrite said, to send reports in so they know regardless of response time and I may do the same when my Time arrives and I see no snowbound too. I shall delete the quote so there are no hard feelings. :) Seeing how Cards are now done, I really hope Snowbound did not get the same treatment.

ridagoth don’t worry, i wasn’t mad, i was just explaining that could be common bug

Seems a crashing halt has come to 'Neathmas fun :/

All right, thanks for the clarification. :) In this thread, I count 3 individuals at this time, including yourself. It’s definitely common. I do hope there is some resolution to this.

I have the same problem too :( Seems pretty peculiar, but it is encouraging at least to hear apparently its not intentional.

Alright… finally drew my first Mr. Sacks card… does it really matter to me what I do? I have only 4 ToL, and it appears that I will not get the fifth that it was advised I should get…

So it’s unlikely that I’ll get more than 1 remote address out of the whole deal… and I’m not going to be able to afford Fate anytime soon, so Day 4 play may not be for me either…

Does any of it matter for me now, or am I basically done with Sacksmas?

let’s hope that is intentional, by the way i’m not sure if it’s a good decision spend tol for a remote address or preserve it for a 5 cards appartment

@John Savage: do you have any pails of snow left?

No

I believe Mr Sacks offers 4 ToL during his 12 days, so you can get an upgrade to the Beth or the Embassy with that. For the Remote lodgings, there is at least one other option besides what’s available during Sacksmas, but that is Fate-locked. It’s also available year-round, though, so if you come to a point when you can afford Fate, you can pick up the house any time.
To answer the immediate question, if you have Day1 of Mr Sacks, it doesn’t much matter what you offer him, but if you have Day 2, it does. Since today is Day 2, you might have that one.

Nope… it’s Day 1… ok then…

John, have you made PoSI yet? Do you even have a 4-card lodging? If the answer to either is “No,” then you can’t do a lot this Sacksmas whatever your ToL.
