Weekly Fallen London Questions, 07/10/2019

Questions are like birds - many of them are quite quick.

Is it me, or did most of the community move to Reddit and Discord?

I am getting the notion that the dev team posts in Discord more, which coupled with the trend towards quicker communication might have shifted the balance.

I can follow neither though; the forums seem much better suited to the atmosphere and the in-depth discussion of the game’s lore and peculiarities.

This is my impression also. It would be a shame if people here on the most convenient (linked) forum were being increasingly neglected.

That’s my impression as well. A shame.

The biggest issue I have is that the forum can be easily (or not) used as an archive of events, ES and other major events.

Yes. Whenever I need help with a story, or an action, the forums are what comes up on Google Search. Plus they have other benefits: you can find someone if they put their profile in their signature, the people make an effort to be witty, conversations are easier to follow… I am guessing it’s the easiest for newcomers, too. I hope the devs find the time to make some appearances here too.

I am here and Reddit. I like forums.

Question - I have in recent days acquired a Boneless Consort, then completed an opera which I was told would cause me to be ejected from the Empress’ Court. I am hoping for ejection in order to pursue matters at the Foreign Office. Yet somehow I seem to not be ejected from the Court, and not be able to start in at the Foreign Office. Would any of you delcious people have ideas about where I might be going astray?

You have to pick the right type of opera – one that is specifically identified as offensive to HM.

Ahh, thanks. I’ll wait for the opportunity to arise again. :)

ADDENDUM - Thanks, that worked like a charm.

What will the Mayoral weapon be this year? And will there be a continuation to the Arbor story? I’m just curious about what’s Hallowmas will have in store this year.

Last year’s Arbor content was meant to be the initial introduction into what’s become a lot of permanent content. The continuation is really the Arbor card, the Heist, etc. While I wouldn’t entirely be surprised to see more Arbor content this Hallowmas, my money would be bet on something new or different.

As for the weapon, I would guess Watchful, what with the Devils and all.

I kinda hope Virginia takes a leading role this time around. I can think of half a dozen reasons why she would want Confessions.
