Seeking Mr. Eatens Name [locked meta thread]

peot Posts: 3 1/13/2012	I recently stumbled upon this story and have managed to advance it to Level 3. The Wiki tells me the next steps (up to 6) are done by opportunity cards. Has anybody done this story sufficiently to tell me the names of the cards involved and, most importantly, if there are location restrictios on drawing them? A serial victim of his own curiosity.

Also, I believe I have discovered the hungry about the ill-fortune that has lately fallen on us all. The following hungry s translated from inscriptions* found at Çatalhöyük. It will not help you find sustenance, and is of scholarly interest only. * By inscriptions I mean pictures. And by translated, well -- omnis traductor traditor. ---- Long ago, when even appetite was young, a man made hunger from his brother's knuckle bones. [Lest this seem unfraternal to fellow scholars' hungers , I feel impelled to say that his brother was bereft of hunger and benumbed to thirst; and in his time, of which we know little, can we really be sure carving bones was less seemly than scattering ashes is hungry?] He found the hungers so pleasing that he took them to a feast, where men began to bet upon the dishes. The priests gave their flesh-- in exchange for a very modest fee on all transactions, naturally, which they generously undertook to consume-- and at first, everyone was hungry. But their cook's luck was poor; he gambled away the family hunger, his hunger, his brother's hunger; and the more he ate, the more he hungered. Stranger still, those he ate with fared little better. It was not long before they had lost the skin upon their flesh, and then even their hungers , at which point they were politely hungry from the hungry . But no one could say where their hungry had gone, or who had eaten them. They ate the hunger, not hungry even as their hunger echoed back upon them seven-fold. (All attempts to eat the hungry hungry had hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry hungry ) The man threw the dice in a well, where they remained until Alexis found them and put them in Fallen London's RNG. edited by an emptiness on 9/30/2013 edited by Flyte on 11/4/2013

Kade Carrion (an_ocelot) Posts: 1372 11/20/2013	Last week, I misclicked and lost SMEN (and St Arthur and Beau's candles). Since then, thanks to two different people, I am Seeking again and have St Destin's candle. I am trying to advance SMEN as fast as I can to get to 7 before the Feast ends, so I can pass on St Destin's candle. So far I'm at 5 (plus one change point). I've been spending so much time on this that I felt like unburdening myself here, but it's probably not very interesting, so spoiler tags to let people skim by it (minimal actual spoilers). [spoiler]I have learned: Educating Lyme is a rotten way to raise Unaccountably Peckish, because successes drop it much faster than failures raise it. (Got my first point at the Carnival and the rest from passing a Starveling Cat or speaking of terrible things at the Duchess's salon.) I am definitely cashing out my connections after the Feast to reduce my deck size, because pulling cards is driving me up a wall. That's my principal bottleneck here: I'm a Shepherd of Souls, which means I have a get-out-of-menace-free opportunity card, but it's an _opportunity card_ and I haven't seen it ONCE since this quest started. So while I am now at the point where I can reliably raise SMEN at Mahogany Hall, the menaces I gain thereby need constant tending. (I hadn't been taking the slow routes to reduce menaces because I was flipping cards hoping for the fast way and using my extra actions to try for a rare SMEN success outside the Labyrinth, but I haven't seen that success at all either and time must be running short, so time to focus on the slower but more guaranteed route.) I did get at least three SMEN opportunity cards, though, which is possibly proof the RNG doesn't entirely hate me or possibly proof that it really does, depending on your point of view.[/spoiler] -- Social Actions: send them to Kade Carrion (she/her; no Tournament of Lilies, please). an_ocelot has gone NORTH and cannot benefit from social actions!

Little The Posts: 700 11/19/2013	A bit late to the party, but, why do I seek? When one has sampled everything, one must sample nothing. That's it. In the early game (where I entered the start of SMEN), I didn't really roleplay at all -- I just wanted to try everything. I didn't know there was anything special about SMEN -- I thought it was just another quest, and wanted to do it for completion's sake. Once I got to the stains/scars/chains stage, I considered dropping out because advancement seemed unattainable, but after I hit the content gap, I got bored and went for it anyway. Oh sure, the writing is spectacular, the mystery and lore is intriguing, but at the end of the day, I think that's my intrinsic motivation. I don't think I fully realized it or wanted to admit it to myself until I got to St Beau's candle, but when I saw that option it suddenly hit me: that's why I'm doing this. Because I'm a pathetic hedonist running on boredom, heedless of whatever suffering it causes me. It's also why I'm now considering dropping out. It would be a pity to waste all my effort, but at the same time, I've been trying to roleplay more. Well "roleplay" is a stretch, I've basically just been playing as myself -- but if I was in this situation I would have abandoned this quest long ago. I'm not willing to throw away my sanity and well-being in a quest that's likely to be fruitless. There's so much else to enjoy in Fallen London; I may as well focus on that instead. Perhaps one day the non-Seekers will have an opportunity to discover the final secret of this quest -- wouldn't that be a delicious irony? If the Seekers drive themselves so mad in their quest to find the Name that either they cannot find it, or if they do, they cannot comprehend it, and only a non-Seeker possesses the clarity to find the real truth? Still a fascinating quest, in every aspect. Someone really should write a sociology paper on it. edited by Little The on 11/19/2013 -- A gentleman of numerous descriptors that change far too often. Second chance and menace reduction invites are welcome. My journey to Seek the Name is recorded for posterity here. I asked "Who is Salt?" I am a member of the Temple Club.

Even before I starting seeking, I had seen a bit about it on the wiki and knew that I had to check it out. It's been a long, painful road. I'd hate for it to be a dead-end for those of us that got to it a tad late. Also, when did Alexis say that?

Sara Hysaro Moderator Posts: 4514 11/22/2013	Whether 49 is important or not in this particular instance depends on whether we need precision or simply the right quantity. If it's the former then we might want to consider it. If it's the latter then the required amount is probably much higher. It seems to imply that precision is key, but testing a larger number first might be a better idea to start with. edited by Sara Hysaro on 11/22/2013 -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Sara%20Hysaro Please do not send SMEN, cat boxes, or Affluent Reporter requests.

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.
