Since I am new to this Hallowmas festival, I am puzzled why one would send out an invitation to confess someone, and then withdraw it. Seems a waste of Action Points at a time when they are of greater value.

Hard to know! I did this when I accidentally sent two to the same person, though...

Yeah, I've had to withdraw invitations when I accidentally sent multiples.

That would make sense, but I've had a couple of people withdraw single invitations. I feel snubbed. Of course, they could still be a misclick, I would imagine those involved in a frenzy of invites might make an occasional error. I was wondering if there might be a strategic or tactical reason for the action.

Here are a few ideas:
*Sent a non-posi confession but already have 6 confessions quality and can no longer benefit from it. Intent to send a different type of confession request.
*Sent multiple confession requests in error.
*Confession not accepted and Hallowmas has ended.

@NiteBrite: I had tentatively thought the fist reason might apply, but what would be the advantage in withdrawing the Confession after the six minors are accepted? I have quite a few out myself over the limit (which, since I am not a POSI, means I'm done sending invitations this year), but I figure the Trust will amount to something next year. It's not a trivial point, from my perspective, because if it were better I withdraw the excess invitations, I'd best get started!

If they are a POSI, there is benefit in withdrawing them, i believe, since they can then replace it with a confession of whimsy or pride (which will give them the confession,without duplication). I don't know if it's beneficial for a non-posi to withdraw, though.

That's what I meant by "intent to send a different type of confession" grenem. Thanks for clarifying.

I had someone who was a PoSi withdraw a single confession of pride or whimsy (can't recall which). I feel particularly bad about that one since they had taken my confession and it's a shame I couldn't reciprocate.

I've had one or two people withdraw their confessions too. I'm not sure if it was impatience or an accidental duplicate, but it always makes me feel a bit sad.

I've had one person withdraw a PoSI confession.
I immediately messaged them with an alt apologizing profusely for not getting to them soon enough and promising them that, if they were patient, I definitely would answer all reciprocated Confessions.
Turns out they had just accidentally sent me a second confessions and deleted it when they realized it Their first confession was just buried in my mentions.

Applies for PoSI, perhaps, but my poor Insignificant char only has a dozen Confession requests, so it's easy to tell there were no duplicates.

Maybe this PoSI has him/her/itself too many requests in the message tray and can't keep track?
I've had a few cancellations too and I can't help feeling sad about it. But checking against my records, some of them are because they are repeats.

I'm sad too because my Confessions capped so early, I couldn't send invitations to everyone I wanted to.

That seems really strange. I guess a lot of folks are mis-clicking (anyway, it is more satisfactory than thinking they HATE me!).
Although I suppose there could be a rationale for it, if the confession offers were for minor confessions instead of POSI confessions. I believe the latter give more Spirit, and there are only so many clicks to go around.

Non-POSI confessions give the same rewards- but the cap applies to us, too. withdrawing is still kinda a jerkish move though.

That doesn't really give back the actions, so it doesn't do you any good. it's wastefulto withdraw them once they're sent, at least on non-POSI. send a replacement, then remove the original
