[quote=Jolanda Swan]Oh.
I am even more confused now. My text is this:

It has no mention of the Army but a lot of Hell. So no idea what happened here. I am waiting for an answer from Failbetter.[/quote] This is almost certainly a bug. This is the text for Hell, no seduction, alternative fete (March of the Saints 250), which makes much more sense for the army ending, whereas yours makes much more sense as a Hell ending. Therefore, I think these two were switched.
I’d recommend posting in the exchange thread, then, and sending stuff to the people who’ve posted there that they’re open to exchanging gifts. (Just so you know, SOP on this forum is to have a link to your profile in your signature, to make the process easier for everyone.)
It’s been quite some years since I was at the stage of the game where you are, so I’m honestly not sure what sources you have access to for the Influence/Mysteries/Nostalgia/Infernal items that you would then spend on gifts. Look around London for actions that give you Stolen Correspondence, Whispered Secrets, Cryptic Clues, Drops of Prisoner’s Honey, and Souls that you can up-convert, I suppose. Or sell off items you have less use for and use the proceeds to buy them.
Hey, does anyone have the Echoes of the Fate-Locked tattoos? (The Gift, Übergoat, Flute Street, House of Chimes (does it change with your specialisation?) etc.)
I wanted to get the Parabola Tattoo too much to consider the others and I don’t have the 100 Fate (x2 50 Fate) to get the tattoos :/
Please PM, thanks!
It was a bug and it is now fixed, after I e-mailed Failbetter! Quite happy with the result. This is the Army Officer/Seduction text:

I wonder if the Deacon will ever be an eligible spouse in the future, for those who did not send him to church. In any case, I loved it!
Hi there,
I am wondering why I havent drawn the Lady in Lilac Card even once since the start on 13th. Also I got the Encounter at the feat only one time in all three days. Up to now I estimate to have drawn >100 cards since 13th which cant be normal. So I wonder if there any hidden bug at work?
Thanks Zyklops
Just in case anyone was wondering, the Lovelorn Bishop is Persuasive +5, Dangerous +5, Respectable +2.
I don’t have the text, but pretty sure it doesn’t change.

When it doubt, blame RNG. No bugs at work here.

PM’d you.
I’m missing the text for the Face Trade tattoo ("A Face for the Evening") myself. PM or profile link would be much appreciated! :)
Would you happen to have a link to the echo?

The echo is here – Fallen London.
Thank you!

Just seconding Optimatum that it’s pure luck - I haven’t seen the Lady yet either, but I’ve seen my racing slug and rooftop shack (both only standard frequency) half a dozen times each in the same period.
Thanks for your replies.
If luck is the key, it seems that I really travel the wheel of misfortune for the time being, concerning the Lady in Lilac.
Curiously I get the Feast of the rose card aproximately every 5th-7h card, although I am capped since 2 days on masking.
Seems like bad luck is my current companion in other game matters too.
For instance I tried more than 9 times to get the majestic pleasure yacht up to now and I always failed: no matter if I did a single try or four ones in a row. Taken standard statistics, with a 33% chance per try, it should have worked out to have a sucessful try so far - this ship is getting a little expensive.
So perhaps I should rather try my luck in love, instead of gambling Fallen London, if the German saying would be true:
Luky in love - unlucky in gambling… So any female contenders are welcome right now :-)
Lucky smiling Zyklops

The RNG is just Like That. I’ve seen Lilac 4 or 5 times already and not gotten the Encounter card once. I’d trade you if I could.

If you want to optimize your chances to meet the Lady in Lilac, you can park the most frequently appearing cards, including "The Feast of the Rose!", and use only one slot to actually flip the cards. :) The hardest part here is to resist the urge to discard all the parked stuff, but this can help in the long run.
I also don’t know whether you’ve finished with Acquaintance: the Captivating Princess or haven’t. If the quality level is <2, then some Dreadful Surmises are still waiting for you in exchange for 15 Masquing each!

On Lilac’s / Encounter frequency…
Deliberately sub-optimnal deck (I have too much of a collectionist in me to part with my beloved pets).
Remote Address (to discard City Vices)
Very active card flipping (100+ a day)
And yes, they are ‘rare’. I usually find the Feast of the Rose almost all the way to 20 Masquing again before Lilac appears. So, once or twice a day they do appear in my circumstances. But this still keep me on my toes.
I’ve been doing deck resets since the second week begun and the Encounter card, despite being listed as Frequent Frequency or twice of normal frequency, is still rarer than some other cards. This is not the only year people have complained about the frequency of the Encounter and Lilac cards, yet FBG still hasn’t done anything about it.
On the bright side, they will be pinned eventually.
I personally dislike “they will be pinned” when I’m an active player who flips cards as long as I’m awake. It feels like a forced last effort attempt when I feel it’s supposed to be geared toward more people who can’t play regularly.
I usually don’t like devils, but the Repentant/Defiant/Impenitent Devil is really great, I love him
