!!! DO NOT REQUEST SIPS FROM KADE CARRION OR AN_OCELOT !!!
I’m keeping the below list for historical reasons and because other people have linked to it. an_ocelot went NORTH and is permanently unplayable; Kade Carrion, my currently active player, does not have Cider.
!!! DO NOT REQUEST SIPS FROM KADE CARRION OR AN_OCELOT !!!
As stated here, I have successfully purchased Hesperidean Cider.
Possession of Cider allows you to send sips as a social action. Taking a sip of someone else’s Cider will drop your Wounds slightly and give you 1 x A Taste of the Garden. That unlocks opportunity cards that will drop Wounds somewhat more, slightly increase Nightmares, provide an Extraordinary Implication, and consume 1 x A Taste of the Garden.
If you’d like a sip of Cider, here’s what to do:
1. Send a social action to [[SOMEONE WHO IS NOT AN_OCELOT OR KADE CARRION]].
Do not request one here, in a PM, or anywhere else. My social action to-do list is my FL messages tab.
Recommended social actions:
- The Neath’s Mysteries card (drawable only at Lodgings), because it’s intrinsically profitable to us both; if you have a choice between branches and aren’t sure which one to pick, here are your options in descending order:
** A strange sort of prank (4 Echoes);
** A singular phrase (2.5 Echoes);
** Going to the theatre (2.1 Echoes to sender, 2 Echoes to recipient);
** Sharing a dream (1.11 Echoes); - Coffee (Lodgings / Attend to matters of society and scandal / Meet someone for a Coffee at Caligula’s); I probably won’t respond until Tuesday (see below), but it’s available to anyone with Persuasive 5 and boosts Making Waves for both of us (plus Persuasive & Confident Smiles if not already capped); and
- A genuine gift off the Give a Gift! card or First City Coins, which are nice for me but doesn’t also benefit you.
Social actions that are common but should be avoided:
- Write a letter, because it doesn’t benefit either of us; and
- Chess or Sparring Bouts, because they only provide Making Waves to the winner.
Don’t send:
- Chess, because as of June 15 I am temporarily not accepting it;
- Options that harm me, such as live rats;
- Suspicious Loitering, because it drops Making Waves;
- Tournament of Lilies, investigating photographers, or robbing museums, because I’m just not interested in them.
2. Write in the message field that you would like a sip of Cider.
If you do not write anything I will not send you Cider, because I can’t read your mind!
In addition: do not call me "sir," "man," or any other masculine form of address: I’m female (and I play a character of mysterious and indistinct gender, which means there is zero reason to conclude that I’m male other than the harmful assumption that the default is male).
3. Drink up!
Notes:
I generally try to send out sips in chronological order. However, as noted above, my messages tab is my to-do list. So if I’ve already got enough Making Waves for the week, I will delay accepting your coffee request until Time the Healer comes on Tuesdays, which also means delaying sending your sip. I will get to you on the next Tuesday, I promise. (And if you’re elsewhere, I’ll keep checking.) If for some reason you urgently need a sip before then, say so in your message and I’ll respond early (but save this for last resorts, please).
I will accept multiple requests from the same person, but I’m going to prioritize first-timers, so don’t expect more than one sip in a row. Also, the other thing I’m doing with my time right now is trying to rebuild after selling almost everything I could, so if you’re going to ask me for multiple sips, a more profitable social action than coffee would be appropriate.
This offer will remain open for the foreseeable future; I will edit this post if it changes or closes.
Questions?
