Weekly Fallen London Questions, 24/12/2018

Fallen London
1

The lacre settles deep, and 'tis the time to be asking quick questions.

To answer Skinnyman’s question from the previous thread…

If you’re a Patron and want to reject your Protege, I think the relevant storylet is under &quotAttend to matters of Patronage&quot in Lodgings.
If you’re a Protege and want to reject your Patron, the storylet is under &quotAttend to matters of Society&quot in Lodgings.

Also, IIRC the person who did the rejecting gains Making Waves but not Notability.

Does anyone know when Knife and Candle starts up again? I’m new but I would love to participate so I’d like to know when it starts again

4

There has been no Knife and Candle for years. There’s no estimated date, and “never” is definitely a possibility.

5

Ah, yes. But in truth Knife and Candle has existed twice and died twice. No reason to assume there will not be another resurrection.

6

Is there a soul grind more profitable than “Track down a spirifer” in Ladybones Road?

7

Unfinished Business in Spite; The Prince of … (requires being a PoSI and having Renown: Hell 10)

8

Ach, sadly, while I (or rather the alt who decided to obtain a key to a brass embassy guest room in order to upgrade it this holidsay season) am a POSI, the renown is slightly too low. Maybe the cards will have mercy. Thanks though!

9

Oh those are Brilliant Souls… hmm it’s fastest in my experience to steal Tales of Terror or Brilliant Souls by using Casing in the Flit

10

Will the neighbours call the constables on me if they hear me loudly snorting tears of the Bazaar? (They’re just so sadly appealing…)

11

At least some of the recent difficulties with executing Social Actions people (such as me) are experiencing stem from having 200 or more contacts. Will removning contacts in Accounting Settings solve this problem?

12

Can someone tell me the storylet to pick up on last month’s ES? I know I played the branch to queue it for later, since I didn’t have time to play it last month, but I don’t see anything to follow up–just the storylet for the new one.

14

Nothing new in Spite…I think there was a universal storylet after I unlocked the branch in The Season of Hobbies, but it’s been so long since I logged on, I can’t be sure.

15

Is there a fun bit of text along with the Expeditions’ &quotA Supply Cache!&quot option? I quite liked the 1-Fate &quotAfternoon Off&quot option, but I think I’d rather tank an expedition (or just plan ahead) than spend 20 Fate if it’s just a few lines.

16

I’m not sure about it, but was it possible to hold on Day 4 until the Penstock’s Wicket opened?

Not sure if I should try another story for the extra ToL, but I do wonder if there will be any new items; the current design can hold a 6 card lodging. :)

[quote=earthbourn]Nothing new in Spite…I think there was a universal storylet after I unlocked the branch in The Season of Hobbies, but it’s been so long since I logged on, I can’t be sure.[/quote] It’s the universal branch The Dark Bar which requires The Grief of the Zailor quality to exactly 3.

[quote=Skinnyman]I’m not sure about it, but was it possible to hold on Day 4 until the Penstock’s Wicket opened?[/quote]No, the wicket opens for you only when you’ve played Day 12. There’s no other way.

18

[quote=phryne]No, the wicket opens for you only when you’ve played Day 12. There’s no other way.[/quote]True, true! But do the cards go away if I wait that long?
Decided to double check and seems I missed Chris’ post.

[quote=Chris Gardiner]You don’t need to check in every single day - as long as you’ve played &quotDay 1: A Peevish Visit from Mr Sacks?&quot before the 14th of January you’ll have the 31st to play through the sequence.[/quote] It was right in front of me! :D

Any best guesses as to when the Urchins will stop selling Lacre? I’m going to try for a certain special tattoo, and I’m trying to decide when I need to spend Notability to force draw the Urchin card for that extra pail of Lacre.

20

The Wikia page says until the beginning of January, I wouldn’t take any risk and assume that means that from January the First onwards no more SNOWBOUND! Will occur and thus Urchins won’t sell it anymore either. I do hope someone else has a more concrete answer that is more certain.
