Itā€™s not at all uncommon for days to start at midnight, or for games to look at your systemā€™s local time to determine the date. Itā€™s an easy mistake to make if youā€™re new to Fallen London.

thanks, dude. my brain is not in a zone where i can do words good, but i appricete you trying to make me look like less of an idiot. also youre right, that IS why i assumed that.

Itā€™s so odd to live in a timezone 9 hours ahead of the gameā€™s standard updates. Iā€™m out here growing my city and terrorising the citizens within while most Londoners are asleep.

I chose the other option for the False Rose this year (didnā€™t look at it closely), I hope I didnā€™t lock myself from the new part of the storyā€¦

BOOM CALLED IT

The Diptych Painter, according to the Wiki. Still waiting on the card, myself.

Where is the best place to draw cards to try to get the turn in masquing card? Like where is the deck thinnest?

Most of the secondary locations, like your Forgotten Quarter Base-Camp, Moloch Street, or the Department of Menace Eradication donā€™t have any unique cards, so I would camp out in one of those.

I managed to pull it and Iā€™m going to CRY what do you MEAN I canā€™t get September until Balmoral!!! Nooooo!!!

I was so excited when I say the Smouldering Lexicographer until I saw I needed fate gifts to get her :(
Iā€™m just a gal that wants her smouldering wife.

I knew September needed fate and already spent money to buy the gift to have enough masquing for him :sob:

If you still have the gifts, keep them and donā€™t exchange for Masquing. They can be saved for next year.

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m thinking Iā€™ll do, yeah. Iā€¦ am unhappy with my current spousal arrangement and not stoked to keep it for a year is all.

:/

Not really anything to do about it though. Even if I spent an ungodly amount of FATE thereā€™s just too much to do for thus year to POSSIBLY go from the first blockage to Balmoral this year. Iā€™m mostly upset that I could have used that fate on things that would have helped me get there faster or new stories haha.

Same. Going to the tomb colonies for story reasons didnā€™t help, either.

Is it just me or the card that is required to exchange for companions is super elusive?

ā€œOccurs with Frequent Frequency (twice as common as Standard)ā€ā€¦ somehow I doubt it.

Think the RNG is just messing with youā€”itā€™s been coming up plenty for me
