Ratmas 2019: On the run!

Fallen London
1

Greetings delicious, beloved, hated and grieved friends!
As this even follows since 2013, it must honored this year too. FBG has been working their tentacles to provide us with amazing new ES, lot of updates for SSkies, got us rid of the annoying Singer and Artist and after a long wait, they are working on Ambitions! :o

What’s a better way to thank them than by sending rats! Or… other kind of rats? Big thanks to:
Paul Arendt, misterarendt_failbetter. Not to be confused with other misters.
James Chew, a hidden man! We need his IGN (ingame name)
Tobias Cook, protected by his umbrella. Not sure if TobiasCook is actually him.
Hannah Flynn, Hannah Failbetter. Our beloved!
Chris Gardiner, CHGardiner. He does smile, but he guards us too! :)
Connor Halford. A methodical, industrious individual Gameplay Programmer? Really? So where is he (missing IGN too!)?
Helena Morris. Umpffff, need to catch up with things as I can’t find her either. :(
Adam Myers known as sebastian flyte
Henry Senior known as… well, Henry Senior
Lesleyann &quotFuzz&quot White! FailbetterFuzz actually.
Olivia Wood, an amazing person know as Moomin to the Neath dwellers.

Stuart Young, but not little. That’s another rat we’re talking about. But for Mr. Young to enjoy our presents we need to find him. IGN anyone?
Seamus, Gallmarch, which was forgotten, but remembered thanks to Silurica!

Hope I didn’t miss anyone and sorry for the rush. Even if it’s weekend doesn’t mean there’s much free time. With this, I hope I won’t upset anyone if I copy+paste Barse’s details from last year’s post.
Wish you the best!

&quotWhat’s Ratmas?&quot
If you’ve joined us this year, or managed to avoid the Ratmas spirit in previous years, Ratmas happens TODAY, the 7th of December (look, it’s past midnight GMT, it counts) and has been goin’ on since 2013 as a celebration of the most important part of Fallen London: R A T S. Started by community giant Spacemarine9 as a way to pester Alexis, this hallowed and very serious holiday involves as many of us making a nuisance of ourselves as we can and sending rats to people. Just get some rats, send 'em to a friend. That’s it.

The Official Rat-Sending Targe- I mean, Lucky Recipients are traditionally Failbetter staff, so I’ll put a list of their known accounts below. Don’t feel like you need to limit yourself to them, though, if you’ve got a friend or seven to whom you would like to give a murine gift. As the popular saying goes, &quotThe more (rats) the merrier!&quot

&quotHow do I join in?&quot
Ratsending is easy, and can be done from the Give A Gift card, or, if you’re a Seeker and wanna throw some additional rats into the void, from THE KNAVE OF REGRETS. If you ain’t got no rats, they’re easily found at the Bazaar for a smol cost, in Unfinished Business in Spite, or in the Department of Menace Eradication. If the RNG isn’t playing ball then you can force-draw Give A Gift from Write Letters in your Lodgings (it costs 1 Fate, but just think of the joy your little ratty present will bring).

Other acceptable gifts include: cats, surprise packages, jewels, calling cards, Christmas cards, big shiny boxes full of Fate, letters pronouncing your unconditional platonic (or otherwise) love to friends, and pretty much every other flavour of social action you can think of. If you really want to flex on somebody, send them a Rat of Glory and bestow upon them the ultimate in holiday blessings. Remember to include a festive message - such as &quotYOU CANNOT ESCAPE THE ENCROACHING TIDE OF VERMIN&quot, or &quotI hope your Christmas presents are bursting with rats&quot - so that the recipient knows how much you care. Please don’t limit yourself to just today! Ratmas can last as long as we want it to.
