Here’s this week’s thread for quick Fallen London questions and answers!
I have avoided hangover of the century card so far because it warns of a hit to dangerous. I have now checked the wiki to find out just what happens and I think I get it but can anyone confirm - will it reduce my dangerous stat bar or am I safe. I want to avoid any hard stat reduction of that attribute.

It’s not permanent. It’s a burden - Oenophilic Opression - that you have to live with for 24 hours or so before it expires. There’s only 7 options before the card is locked, and the last one, the “empty cellar” option awards a captivating ballad in return for a favour in high places with no downside.
So yes, you’ve got to go through 6 days of temporary dangerous and shadowy reduction but the rewards are worth it if you can spend those days doing other things.

Great as long as it doesn’t affect my stat bar, which won’t recover. Thanks!
Is it still possible to get mirrorboxes in the Waswood?
I’m not aware of any change there, but also it’s a rare success with like a 1% chance. If you have access to Jericho, you can get one from Fiddler’s Scarlet. It’s not cheap, but personally I would much rather pony up the cost than spend a week supplicating the RNG.

I got my early boxes from emptying Peligin boxes acquired by bartering Oneiric Pearls. It’s available much earlier than Jericho. Though they are not exactly grindable early, it’s more reliable than the 1%-ish chance in the waswood.

If I change the political alignment of my Hinterland City from “Radical Emancipationist,” to “Anti-liberationist,” will that change the name from “Rebel’s Countertown” to “Rebel’s Dawn?”
According to the Foundation table on this page of the wiki, it should change to Dawn

For almost a whole day, stuck on " Against the Zee’s Currents". Apparently something to do with the update. No option to escape this screen. Logging out and back in doesn’t fix the problem. Refresh doesn’t fix the problem. Closing the browser and then re-opening doesn’t fix the problem.
Do we know how many Chapters of Firmament there’ll be? Is 7 the number again?

Hello.
I’ve encountered a weird thing and was wondering if anyone knows what it might be.
For quite some time I’ve been in contact with a person, had him in my contacts list, doing various social activities. Then about two weeks ago when I went to reciprocate his gift of dead rats I suddenly couldn’t find him. He isn’t in my list of contacts, I can’t choose him in any menu (and he’s not in the list of people that aren’t available), I can’t add or remove him as acquaintance or contact. Also his profile page won’t open, it’s just stuck loading infinitely. I asked a friend to test it on his PC and it won’t open for him either.
I thought he might have gotten banned or deleted his account for some reason. But yesterday he sent me another batch of dead rats, and another one today. So he clearly plays the game still and can interact with me, while I can’t return the favor and am doomed to appear cold and ungrateful.
Am I missing something? Is it a bug?
Does that friend have a “nonstandard” character in name? (like a space for instance, but anything other than english letters and numbers can be suspect).
Did you ask failbetter support? Weirdness with contacts sometimes has to be fixed manually.
No, nothing weird in the name. And the profile page opened fine before.
I was going to write to support, but decided to ask here first, in case it’s a known thing.
Anyone know what the third October ES for enhanced exceptional friendship is? I already have all that are available, but it will only show the ones that I’ve played and can reset. It would be nice if it listed all of them regardless of if you own them but haven’t played.
I believe September had The Attendants, The Frequently Deceased, and The Thing That Came in From the Fog (haven’t played them yet, so they aren’t listed) and I can see October has Codename: Sugarplum and Damp Martyrs (have played those two so they’re the only ones that show), but I can’t tell what the last one should be.
A Stretch in the Sky, I think?
