Luckily, not all of us have the special bond that the two of you share.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

I wouldn't mind a PM too. I've been "following" this thread, after a fashion, but between the devoured posts and people talking in circles to avoid becoming a devoured post, I'm not doing a very good job of it.

Once again, I'm fumbling in the dark here. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone would PM me with a short explanation of what this fire stealing business is all about.

And here I commence attempting to get through the auto-censor. You should imagine this entire post covered with a frosty layer of "we are *not* amused."
Update: at "The Other Thing in the Other Chapel", with Watchful 244, I got results 6, 6, and 3. So 5 is not the cap.
Is there any consensus yet on the most efficient way to grind those things you get at the Chapel storylet? I gather the options are Hunter's Keep (both directly as rare successes and thereafter by converting up Implications), the Fidgeting Writer (which I hate as a grind because of the all-or-nothing luck checks), and rare successes at converting up from Thirsty Bombazine Scraps and Mourning Candles (edit: and Broken Giant to Cellars of Wine). Has anyone run the math?

(I think I'm going to call the things you get at the Other Chapel . . . Russian fur coats.)
(Edit: or frnevat ravtznf, that looks almost appealing, though harder to remember.)

It only looks appealing because it's got a rat in it.

I ran the numbers for the Fidgeting Writer a few pages back, but here it is again:
Assuming that the luck checks are (sequentially) _2%, _2%, _2%, 60%, 55%, and 55%, we get a 6.8% chance to make it from the start to the penultimate step. Starting from one Tale, we should expect to spend about 3.02 actions before either failing or getting the reward on average. Divide this by the chance to make it to the end, and we get 44._ fidgeting actions per Russian fur cloak. We should also expect to spend 32.09 echoes in supplies per cloak. Multiply by however many cloaks you need.
(_ is a forbidden digit)

Edit: huffy flounce placed on hold, as sinking appeared to have been temporary aberration, perhaps a side effect of the auto-censor? I still feel pretty gol-darn huffy about the entire situation, however.
[spoiler]And now this thread is starting to sink in the forum listing too.
I realize this is not my space and this Quest is evil and we signed up for it, blah blah, but frankly the forum is not the game and I regard this as a step past the kind of game evil I signed up for, which affects less my feelings about how I am treated as a player within the game and more my feelings about how I am treated as a person attempting to participate in a community.
Nevertheless, I shall take this final hint and pursue other opportunities.[/spoiler]

Guy Scrum, thank you. I'm going to pass on the Fidgeting Writer, then. I was looking to reduce my Revolutionaries connection anyway, so for now I'll go through my stash of candles, because they're there.

I spend some time over at the unFiction forums (for alternate reality games discussion) where it would be considered a cardinal sin if puppet masters intruded on a thread (thereby crossing in-game/out-of-game boundaries), and am inclined to agree with an_ocelot's stance. I'm also aware that complaining at this point is pretty futile, but isn't it counterproductive for Alexis as well if we take our discussion elsewhere and he can't see how players react to events?

I liked it when Mr E came in and altered our posts whenever we got too spoilery, but this filter has rather gone beyond that. All it does is eat posts and occasionally make us lose our work when we forget that it's in place. Worse, it doesn't really serve any purpose. We're still saying the same things; we just need to work around them now.
I can understand Alexis not wanting us to discuss new content publically, but making it so that we can't even say certain numbers or titles is just frustrating.

I'm yet to be intruded upon, and envious of those who have been. Don't spoil the fun. :-(
