I'm new to the underground league of Knife and Candle, and something strange happened yesterday that I'm not sure is intended. I tried my first attack about 5 days ago (right after gaining a Sense of Urgency) against one of my contacts. Since it was an elusive attack, I got some pretty sweet gear.
However, when I was sleeping last night, I received a message saying that "A Circumspect Ambush has left <the fine gentleman I previously attacked> defeated!" Clearly I did not attack him, as I was asleep, and had not received a sense of urgency for several days.
Is this supposed to happen?

There seems to be a problem with the email server at the moment, and it's sending out notifications well after the event in question. That's probably all it is.

I doubt it. First, the message itself was different, as the first time I got all his items (cloak, knife, etc).
Second, I got another Iron Knife Token and Prize token.

I guess you are in the Iron League so when he got an opportunity to try to get his items back he took it but lost.

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.

Sounds like he attempted to ambush you and failed.

Of course! Why didn't I think of that?
He's attacked me three times in a week. Seems puzzling, as I have only found myself able to do so when I gain a Sense of Urgency.

The top-tier lodging cards (i.e. from Guest Rooms at Brass Embassy or Premises at the Bazaar) all provide a branch that provides the same function as a Sense of Urgency. Even without these lodgings, drawing the Soft-Hearted Widow or the rare mood cards also provide the same opportunity.

What about a dinner invite? I saw no mention of it on the wiki.

Maybe the Polite Invitation? It's the closest I can think of, at least.

That's the name of the card, I often can't think of it's name, just the function of it.

Asides from the top tier lodgings cards (Bazaar, Royal Beth, Brass Embassy) these cards also offer K&C attacks:
A dusty bookshop (mood card)
A little omen (mood card)
An Implausible Penance (requires Criminals: Favours 1)
The Soft-Hearted Widow (requires being a POSI)
A Polite Invitation (requires being a POSI)

One small correction:
The Implausible Penance card doesn't consume Criminal Favours if used for K&C (though I believe it's still required in order to draw the card).

Oh, it doesn't? It used to consume some connected, so I thought it would consume some favours. I'll edit the post.
