Time came knocking twice

Fallen London

I already submitted a bug report to their feedback email, but I was curious if this had happened to anybody else… or, perhaps, that someone lost notability and weren’t sure why. As you can see below, Time apparently decided I hadn’t answered the door so it should come back a minute later:

Memory fades; pain departs; rewards arrive! [You may have a Professional Payment waiting at your Lodgings; wounds and other hazards have faded, as has your reputation in the public eye. You may also have received Fleeting Recollections, which will allow you to remove Irrigo, if you have any.] A Connoisseur of Neathy Delights has not changed from 9 because it’s lower than 10. Notability has not changed from 15 because it’s lower than 19. An occurrence! Your ‘An Earnest of Payment’ Quality is now 1! You’ve gained 1 x Professional Perk (new total 4). You’ve lost a quality: Nightmares. Scandal has dropped to 1 - Suspect! An occurrence! Your ‘Free Evening’ Quality is now 5! An occurrence! Your ‘Making Waves’ Quality is now 9! Direful Reflection remains unchanged, at 23.

An occurrence! Your ‘Making Waves’ Quality is now 4! Direful Reflection remains unchanged, at 23.

My Making Waves of 19 protected my notability but got slashed to 9, and then my Notability took a hit because Time visited while Making Waves was lower than Notability. This seems like an extremely strange bug, so if it has happened to several people it might help Failbetter to know that.

Not happened to me personally, but I do remember something like this previously being reported here on the forum. It’s a good while ago, though.

Very odd. And Time does not seem to have visited me at all, yet–it should have come for me last night.

EDIT: I withdraw my statement–I recall that I did receive my normal visit from Time–I just made back a lot of MW afterward. Oops.

Time came as normal for me this week, but I didn’t get an email notification about it. Don’t think that has ever happened before.

If it does happen to someone, letting Failbetter know via feedback email does get help quickly. My notability was restored, so now all I need do is make sure my making waves recovers from the double hit - an issue I did not ask help for, as it didn’t seem terribly important.

This happened to me sometime last year. I messaged FB and it was fixed right away.
