Sent a PM to twelve people who I think requested a PM detailing the material rewards for the final decision. If I sent a PM to you and you didn't want to have the information, apologies.
While I understand FBs desire for their hard work and livelihood not to be given away for free, there has got to be a better way of disseminating this information without cluttering a discussion thread with 'me too's.

Thank you very much, RandomWalker! I do agree that a better solution is needed. Maybe a member-locked forum?

Interesting. I wonder why it was necessary to have a Nightmares lock on the branches then... I also found this entry in one of the journals:
[ETA: Removed link]
This seems to imply that you have gone mad but I did not get this result when my my Fascination got too high, nor during any of the nights. Maybe it's a Rare Success for the Fascination-induced madness or something like that...

Folks, it's fine for you to echo the information to your journals (and use the notes field to store the reward). It's fine for you to link to your journals. It's also fine for you to discuss the endings. And it's fine for you to establish communities to chat about it offline.
As a reminder, here's the kind of thing we object, and don't object to:

All people need to do, then, is link to their journals in the thread and then people look at the thread and find the links. Problem solved.
I did this earlier, but apparently it was overlooked:
option three, reward, update on reward

Cower in the corner and hope that the problem goes away, probably. I have developed this winning strategy into an artform. :-)
That being said, stomping on PM requesters, and meta-grumblers like me, might be the best approach to keep the threads clear, if the mod were to mention, as dismallyOriented points out above, that the IRC room is a friendly and welcoming place. That would allow the people with honest requests for hints or advice to not be buried behind the PM requests. I don't know.
I know I don't go to the IRC, and I know that I don't mind sending the odd PM, so I am part of the problem. Maybe a few post deletions is the right answer. Not going to fly into a rage if you delete any or all of my posts, to be honest. <shrug>

I think you're right, and we could do with some mod trimming, given the Ocelot's last answer especially. I've always been reluctant to do that, because I know it looks like a draconian response to quite a trivial and benign kind of interaction - but it's like thread necroing - once isn't a problem, constantly is a real nuisance.
We do have some journal improvements in the pipeline, which will help, but not for a while.

I'm happy to trim/move/merge posts, going on and retroactively, if there's a solid policy for what to do with them. This thread did turn into a very, very low budget Bingo call. (Who's got a 1? 1? How about a 3? 2! Who's got 2? ...1?)

Ditto. As long as I know exactly what ought to be done with such posts I'm more than happy to do it.

So I've been reading up on the history of Bugsby's Marshes, wondering whether the Marsh House corresponds to a real residence. I've discovered some marvellous things - the existence of a locale known as "Cockpull Reach", that the video for Blur's excellent Parklife used the local terrace houses as its backdrop - and also the existence of an East Lodge, Marsh Lane, which was rumoured to have unexpectedly extensive, rambling and generally unusual cellars. These were speculated to date back to the Tudor period, being of an older style than the house itself. The Lodge had some eccentric (some would say notorious) owners, and equally suspect visitors. Not knowing the area, my speculation may be comically misguided, but I wouldn't be surprised if, somewhere in one of the Marsh House's empty rooms, there's a stuck drawer full of dusty correspondence addressed to the East Lodge, Marsh Lane.

Definitely enjoyed exploring the Marsh-House, although with a 3-day timetable and days that passed so quickly, did feel a bit rushed. First time I went in with about 3-4 in Nightmares, which was a mistake. Had enough Cryptic Clues but did spend time exploring the various spots getting more. And then left on the third day unexpectedly via the Royal Beth.
Alas, lost all me dream progress, wasn't so much but 'tis irritating. Before returning to the Marsh-House via my Lodgings, dropped in on the House of Chimes and requested a couple of vials of Honeyed Laudanum from Mr. Chimes so as not to be caught short again (had the chance before my first visit and foolishly passed it up).
Then with a vague sense of what to do, returned to the House. Negotiated my way about investigating and tracked down all of the clues, I do believe, as well as indulging in poking about in the parts where I'd not gone before.
And so I solved it. Now, what to do, what to do. Haven't done the previous content which other comments here seem to imply are linked to this. Perhaps by the Prim Baronet? As for what to do with this case, unsure, although inclined to the third option. Land, not making any more of it. Have a fine collection of it so far and always looking for new places to go and stay. Especially if it's a special sort of place, which it seems it would be. Have PM'ed another dear member of our happy band asking for some information.

I liked this story a lot. But did I miss something? I didn't need any cryptic clues and my nightmares barely increased. I think I might've rushed through it (and I had no trouble with the quirk checks).
I wish I could experience all of the options, though, because I'm greedy and want more of the story.

I would appreciate a pm, or journal link, on the faithful (1st) option.

I wish I could find out more about what happened. I accidentally went through it too quickly and missed a lot of stuff. Now I am on the last step unwilling to make a decision in case I make a poor one.
However, overall I liked the story. Subscribed yesterday and look forward to stay subscribed if all the stories are of this quality.

Could someone PM me the rewards for the first two? Would greatly appreciate it. Reward for the third isn't all that appealing in the long run.

I confess I am still not sure what to pick. Can I also get a PM on the three choices?

Time for me to be super bothersome as well! Can I have a PM on the choices, perhaps? ^^;
