I lost 106 about 6 hours ago. How many more do I need to survive?
It appears that the upper bound at the moment is 120 but that could well rise next week.
If you are lucky getting Lilac quickly then you probably need to survive one more week. If you are very unlucky or if the timing of Lilac’s arrival changes from last year then you may need to survive two weeks. (Or conceivably longer but, so far, there hasn’t been any indication that the content would be changed that much)
These numbers are pretty brutal. And FBG implied that it’ll be even harder next year. Oof.
They did?! I haven’t seen anything…
Last year they implied that this year would be tougher. But in fact it’s been easier than I was expecting.
We had unexpectedly low rates last week. And this week’s bump is in line with what happened last year.
Friday, 03/02, 01:00 am GMT - lost 111 points.
Oh I never reported my own. On Tuesday around 6:30 pm GMT I had my first melting and lost 66 NF. I think the bump in melt rates must have happened on Wednesday
The Feast is on and Lilac is coming on the 13th, apparently: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic23920-feast-of-the-exceptional-rose-.aspx
Almost there, almost there, people! Hope many of you make it!
And Lilac turns up earlier than expected! I am very confident of nabbing my gant tattoo this year (assuming they are still giving them out).
Next Noman Hit here for 92… I dare say I’ve decidedly overloaded that thing (it’s at 317% now). At least I don’t feel alone with that :D
You’ve lost 99x Noman’s Friend.
Well, we’re in the home stretch folks - good luck to all!
Lost 117 this afternoon.
Lost 103 Noman’s Friend this morning. And since Lilac comes on the 13th, I guess that’s a wrap. Didn’t lose anything near what I was expecting to over the last three weeks.
And apparently pails of snow will melt next week… still. This is the third week in a row that I’ve gotten the "Any Pails of So-Called Snow you possess will melt next week" warning.
I lost 115 a couple of hours ago (630pm GMT). But yeah I am not really expecting to lose any more before I get the tattoo.
TTH hit today for a 116.
I literally just got my TtH two minutes ago (9:57 PM GMT), before I started writing this. I lost 109 Noman’s Friend and, thanks to a fortuitous last-minute Gallery of Serpents expedition, I have 11 left.
There’s really nothing else I can do to help my noman live longer that doesn’t involve throwing an irresponsible amount of cash at the problem, given that this last week had meltrates of 100-120. So I’m going to stop grinding now, get my Noman Knows up to 15, and bank the card while I enjoy the Feast.

Nonono!! Don’t bank it!! In all likelihood you can get the tattoo on Monday before your next TtH!!
ETA: Actually you already have a tattoo, but still there is no advantage to cashing your Noman in before getting another Gant tattoo

Lost 120 NF this time.

I just meant that I’m going to get the card ready so I can cash it in just before TtH hits and get some of the material value back. I’m not going to use it before next Tuesday afternoon.
