I think mentioning exactly what's up publicly will net a response of "being eaten" but check your PMs
e: this applies to anyone else who wants to know whats up by the way: PM me and i can tell you the deets

Anyone seeking entry to the search for the name? I've been trapped on the first candle for ages, and am pretty close to just scrapping the search due to sheer impossibility of finding someone who hasn't already accepted the search

There's a thread over in the Singing Mandrake, but yes, potential Seekers are thin on the ground (I found three and sock-puppetted four).

Out of curiosity, does the PM come in messages? I ask because the email address I have linked to the game no longer is usable by me, and I'd hate to get stuck at this point, still waiting on my invite.

Yes, it comes in a message. When it comes you will log in and be greeted with the storylet, so even if it didn't show in your messages feed you don't have to worry about missing it.

This seems like a good place to post this. I thought about starting a thread but had no wish to start another epidemic of mysterious consumption.
I recently gave up the search for the Name. I can't decide whether this is a sensible decision or an opportunity missed - probably both. However I did learn something new about myself. Apparently I am not, after all, willing to sacrifice anything in the pursuit of knowledge (as I had thought). What I truly covet is not just knowledge but understanding - which includes the ability to scrutinize knowledge from all angles, pick it apart, and generally subject it to the tools of rational analysis. If I lose the ability to do that, then what's the point? What is knowledge worth to me if I become a gibbering wreck lacking the capacity for coherent thought? As much as I would have loved to pursue the story further, it was very clear by that point that it wasn't a path my character would ever choose.
It's a pity, because there is clearly an awesome and terrible secret here. No, it's not the Name (which is, after all, just a name) but the search for it. Why do so many otherwise sane and rational people feel compelled to start spouting nonsense and inflict the most appalling privations on themselves and others in search of something they can't even define? Clearly some kind of outside force is at work here. It's invisible, like gravity, but possibly (like gravity) it could be measured and defined by observing the effects it produces. Now that would be a worthy endeavor (sadly I don't think the written content exists to allow me to do it). All you hollow-eyed damned souls mumbling about wells and snacking on indigestible substances would be a perfect collection of subjects. If only I could have a lab constructed at the University with suitable equipment, I could achieve great things. Join me for some painless and perfectly harmless tests*, and together we could make scientific history!
* Well, almost painless. Some quicksilver may be involved, and possibly radium. And of course there are the cranial calibrator probes (no more than five or six). And there will be a waiver to sign - purely a formality.

Looks like a new marsh-mired dream was sent out; or am I the only one?

No dream sent out for me. Maybe I don't have enough tokens.
Oh no, I just had a terrible thought. What if candles end up being as easily stolen as knives? This might get very tricky.

I assume multiple dreams are sent? I got my first one and handed it off... Should I be waiting for more now?

Should be waiting on cards now if your Marsh-mired is 2.

May I introduce myself here? I've just created a third character, Zetonyma, drawn below not by accident, vengeance, or any other opportunity but by word of the Name. You can tell by the bad Greek pseudonym, or maybe it's bad enough that you can't.
So far, one of the first things she did was lose all her persuasive opening a nearly unwrapped "cat"... which seems like an appropriately inauspicious start.

Did anything spectacular happen when you lost all your persuasive? Can you level the stat?

Possibly returned after a long hiatus. Please do not send live rats or tournament requests.

I just replicated the effect with a Ridiculous Hat on a new account, and nothing particularly spectacular happened. You can still level the stat.

Oh, no, sorry, nothing that special. She's back up to 8 now (well, she is very new). I just thought it seemed fitting.

So, for those of us who just started seeking, so we NEED to do the opportunity card where you lose Connect: The Masters? Or am I merely unlucky and I keep getting that card without getting the Ivy Opportunity to raise Seeking?

My name is Joshua Temple. I first came to spy, I'll admit. I figured Fallen London was no harder than Canaan. But I stopped sending letters up some time ago. I'm a Londoner, and they can find other spies.
