Patch Notes

Fallen London

I’m genuinely under the impression that CiS is a half-finished project headed by someone who just lost all interest in it at some point.

…Which would explain why the Scheme of the Phoenix was hastily bolted onto the tail end of it.

(Given that it is a total non-sequitur to the entire rest of the expansion… and also happens to be the only part of the expansion that gives the player anything to do other than get “humbled” at a point when they’ve already become Doctor Who via time traveling destiny-based shenanigans.)

1-don’t start the discussion again, I don’t think it’s healthy for the forum, 2-waiting on your new title.

Given that I view the TLU identically to the People’s Front of Judea?

You can call me Biggus Dickus, if you like.

(I am willing to concede paraphrasing a full scene from the movie was overkill, but the above joke is funny and I stand by it. :stuck_out_tongue: )

Well okay then Mr biggus dickus!

427

At least they’re better than the Judean People’s Front

If the entire Symposium’s not allowed to step out for eyeballs until they’re done debating the nature of language then neither are you

(I’m awfully curious if this change was for mechanical or flavor reasons, though.)

  • Adjusted ‘Share instructive anecdotes about government elsewhere’ on ‘The Business of the City’ so that it is no longer strictly worse than normal branches.

I think The Flower from Hell that Grows Under Your Skin should also be moved from Gloves to Adornment.

Thematically correct, I think, but this does mean that the significant buff from moving the ring and not the flower to adornments would be undone. (They used to occupy the same slot. Now that they’re two different slots, that’s an extra +1 of Artisan of the Red Science, and it’s all accessible to free players.)

It’s a tragedy that there isn’t even one adornment that you can buy from Empire Adornments, a real tragedy (genuinely though, I think one or two adornments being sold there could be really cool, it’d be kinda like the censored census, plus it’d be funny as hell)

It is the place where jewels (and by presumable extension, jewelry) are sold, so it would actually fit quite well!

Official motion to have ALL the items on profile pages represented by large icons. The teensie ones are for the inventory screen. Let me see what I’m wearing in detail.

I’ve lost a point of mithradcy due to the viscountess’ collar being moved. I am less than thrilled.
When will there be a replacement piece of clothing?

Is it still possible to swap the Viscount’s/Viscountess’s collars during the Fruits of the Zee Festival? (Or via the Sacroboscan Calendar?)

Via the Calendar, yes… and you needn’t even swap. Play through the events again and you can have both!
