Notice: Because cards are now limited to 7 instead of 8, we will end a week early to give people a by-week to send cards to people outside of their group if desired.
Introduction
With the first snowfall of December, Time the Healer (TTH) brings us neathy citizens a special gift known as ‘A Potential Christmas Card’. Each week players will receive 7 Potential Cards which they can send to other players no matter where they are in Fallen London. This post aims to help players pair up into groups of 6 and a group leader so that they can optimize sending cards to one another.
What are ‘A Potential Christmas Card’ items used for?
When a player accepts the card social action they receive a random amount of stats gain, between 10 and 70 cp (70 cp being a full level of stats). The player will also receive a +5 uncapped second chances of the same type as the stat increased. The second chances can either be saved up, or used immediately for an additional 1 to 50 cp (average ~25 cp or 1/3 of a level). In other words, these cards are extremely buff power leveling devices. Further, they reduce their stat associated menace by -1 cp. So they have healing properties as well.
Isn’t the stat a card boosts random? I can only see the option to send a card for [x] stat.
Which card you can send depends on the value of a randomizer quality you have known as ‘The Airs of London’. This quality ranges from 0 to 100. Every 25 levels of ‘The Airs of London’ unlocks a different stat specific card that you can send.
How can I see the value of my ‘Airs of London’ quality without having to return to check which card is in my lodgings currently?
If you put your ‘Airs of London’ quality on your profile mantelpiece it will display the current value of the quality in a bubble on the quality image on your profile. It can be tricky to find the Airs of London quality if you don’t know what it looks like, so I have placed my Airs on my (NiteBrite) profile to help show what it looks like. If you refresh your profile after an airs change you can see the value update without having to return to your lodgings every time.
What are the air values needed for specific stats?
Here is a list of which stats are unlocked by each level of airs:
- 1-25 Dangerous: The Painted Mog card
- 25-50 Watchful: The Fogscape with Tentacles card
- 51-75 Persuasive: The Beguiling Predatory Vegetable card
- 76-100 Shadowy: The Suspicious Sort card
Note, in the past, the card name for the suspicious sort was displayed incorrectly as a different card on the story branch so it is important to check the Airs of London to make sure you are sending the correct card.
How do I change my ‘Airs of London’ quality to get the value I want?
Anyone can use the Veilgarden storylet ‘Honey Dens of Veilgarden’ to change their airs by playing its sub-menu storylet ‘Supply wine in exchange for Prisoner’s Honey’. This will change your ‘Airs of London’ quality to a random value between 0 and 100. Check your Airs value on your profile page after each randomization until you get a value that falls in the desired range listed above. Alternatives for Non-PoSI players: Work for the Widow in Spite, Prepare for a Black Ribbon duel in the Docks, Opportunism in Spite.
If you are a PoSI, you can also use any ‘Unfinished Business’ storylet instead and it will change your airs to a random value. This is good for grinding items while also changing airs.
General Participants
If you are interested in sending and receiving cards for the purposes of power leveling, please sign up below by posting your basic contact information. Basic information required is your in game name, which card or stat you prefer to receive, what day of the week your personal time the healer arrives (if known), and what day of the week you plan to send out cards. As players sign up below we will pair-off into groups of 6 loosely based on when TTH comes for you. Each group of 6 will then be chosen by a group leader or community organizer. You will be responsible to send out the correct cards to each member of your group. Check back here to see which cards your fellow members desire or ask your group leader for assistance if you forget or can’t find the information.
Group Leader
If you would like to volunteer to be a group leader please state so below when you post your basic information and note which day you would like to send out reminders to your group once assigned. A group leader must be able to answer questions about how to cycle the ‘Airs of London’ quality and have a basic grasp of how to trouble shoot social actions in Fallen London. Your role as group leader is to send out a weekly reminder to your group in the form of Cards (or other notable social actions which must be accepted such as chess or coffee) and to answer any event related questions that a player in your group may send you via in game messaging or on the forums. You will also need to remember which stats your group members would like to boost and the airs value ranges listed above. Help your teammates as best you can.
Sign-up Format
In Game Name, Stat Preference (or ANY), Personal Time the Healer date (if known), Preferred card sending date (or ANY). Optional: Volunteer to be a group leader.
A link to your profile is also handy to provide for the purposes of convenience.
A potentially useful spreadsheet tool
Thanks to Mr Underhill for creating this template spreadsheet: Click Here
Group leaders, it may be useful to make your own copy of this spreadsheet (File > Make a copy) and share it with your group (File > Share > Advance > Anyone with the link can edit). This is optional, but it seems potentially helpful so I thought I'd share it here.

As a sidenote, if you get 8 cards each week and you can send cards to everyone but yourself, wouldn't it be better to group up in 9-s (though it does leave you with no cards for social use)?

This is a good question and I am glad you asked because I didn't really explain this aspect so well. There are a few good reasons for the grouping of 8 people (7 participants+ 1 leader) instead of 9.
Design Margin - Mistakes Happen
The engineer in me dislikes designing systems to operate -at capacity-, and always includes some form of design margin. This is because mistakes happen and the system needs to be able to compensate for them. It's like a chain of christmas lights going out because one bulb burns out and then not having any spare bulbs. If we had groups of 9 then there is no margin for error. When someone inevitably sends a card to the wrong person or sends them the wrong card, there would be no way to correct for this error. Someone would get left out. With the groups of 8 everyone has a spare card. It's like having a second chance. Additionally with that many spare cards in the pool, we can compensate for groups that have members drop out entirely.
Obligation and Freedom - Striking a Balance
Conceivably participants in this event may have friends outside of their grouping whom they would like to send cards. If I made it so they could only send within their own group that would be a bit unfair to make them choose between the group and their friends. The one card margin allows players to reach outside of their group and interact with other players. This might also be useful if someone finds they are frustrated with their group in that it gives them an out to vent and hopefully prevents them from getting trapped in a 'locked-in' situation for several weeks.
Cross-group communications
This thread will provide a list of a lot of player names looking to receive cards. If you have no one you specifically want to send your spare card to, and you don't make any errors while sending to your group, then what you might consider is to use your spare card to contact someone in a different group. We're making small pairings for efficiency, but let's avoid becoming completely isolated. Say hello to your neighbors sometimes. There's no structure or rules to how this last card is used, it's totally within your freedom to do with it whatever you so desire. It may cause imbalances in the big picture, but ultimately I think that's fine. Player preferences should be allowed to be expressed in minor ways rather than stiffly enforced total equality. A totally rigid system is more likely to snap than one with a bit of flexibility. At least that's how I look at it.
And that was my basic reasoning for groups of 8 instead of 9. I hope this clears things up.
Edit: Oh, and it also leaves room to add people to groups if they come to this thread late/after its already started especially if there's not enough late comers to form a full new group.

I think we still need more squad leaders, Mr Overstreet.
I'd love to, but I presently have around 900 contacts with no way of knowing precisely how many are active around Sackmas. No small number of folks get active from around Hallowmas to The Feast, then taper off for the year.
That means that, in any given week of snowfall, I'll get 4 or 5 random Christmas cards from folks not active on the forums and I feel obligated to return their (lower case)correspondence. Last yer I got a card from someone who hadn't played since March of 1889!
So I'd feel especially nasty if I volunteered to lead a group, but was only able to return cards to half of them for the first couple of weeks.
I always joked about how my grandmother constantly wrote Thank You cards for the Thank You cards she received and had this kind of Byzantine structure of gift & correspondence exchange and how not returning a Thank You card was an unforgivable cardinal sin, but I find that I am now doing the exact same thing in this video game.
This really is an outstanding Victorian simulator!

I was hoping this Christmas we might get one last card batch for those of us who were TTH on Friday, but alas, that is it.
So I wanted to thank my group (8, Xoricco, Kivrin Neverwinter, Cimanyd, Libris Dedita, KestrelGirl, and kingcarrot) for all the help! When I started I was base 125 Watchful; now, I'm 139!
While not base 200 yet ,13 stat points in a few weeks of casual work (while I was grinding everything else but stat points) is huge!
And an additional thanks to all others who sent this character cards (even if I had no want to send any back with a group of 7!)
I hope you all had a merry Christmas and enjoy the 2016....I mean 1894 New Year!

Not to drive this thread off course, but I'm not sure that the Feast of the Exceptional Rose lends itself well to this sort of organization. The only big social action is exchanging gifts, and even then the significant ones cost Fate. I would hesitate to be the middleman in any blind exchange involving Fate items.
In the past SMEN and K&C were the off-season large scale social interactions. SMEN is gone though, and K&C isn't what it used to be anymore (I feel the current implementation of elusive breaks it a bit, especially the iron leagues). So there's not much to do other than wait for either SMEN to return so we can betray each other in a massive 'pyramid' scheme, or for Hallowmas to come back around again.
We could do the Tournament of Lilies, but it takes the better part of a year to level the singular plant to 16+. Tournament of Lilies is one of the few social interactions with a generally negative reputation overall, but truth is it works pretty good when you organize it like an actual tournament. The trick is you have to organize into groups of 7. If you have a group of 7 friends, and you all keep your level up and just attack whenever you see one another, you'll cycle through the tournament at random. There's a bit of attackers advantage, but if you organize taking turns on who attacks its pretty okay. The hard part is getting to level 16+ in the first place, it takes a lot of grinding. Maybe card sending was a proof of concept that the tournament could be fixed and groups could run smoothly. Any interest in this? It's no substitute for SMEN, but it could be fun. It just takes soo much grinding to get your initial levels, maybe its a silly idea.

With time running out for my Advent calendar cards, I'd like to propose the following ad hoc group from those as yet unaffiliated:
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
I'll start sending cards in a few minutes. There's no need to reciprocate. If you are no longer interested or have joined another group, please let me know. Thanks.

Oh, suggestion. Perhaps group leaders should get Time the Healer 1 day before the rest of their grouplings, that way they can send their cards off as a reminder.

De-railing this topic, yes, I would very much like to be in a tournament of Lilies group. No hard feelings when one beats the other. And it could be more than 7 (perhaps 2 are at zea, perhaps one is at prison for feeding vicars to a plant...).
Soo.. Shall we open a new thread for this great idea? (Or perhaps use the existing one at the Mandrake)

-- Mal I would say, talk to your group and perhaps designate a week a little later in the month where everyone can send cards outside the group, or people who aren't that desperate for higher stats might put themselves on a lower priority (maybe they only expect cards every other week from within the group).

It looks like cards have been nerfed this year. Only 3 uncapped second chances, and it also looks like stats gains are now a flat 10 cp instead of the 10 to 70 cp range they were in years previous. Still nice, but I don't know if I can call it power leveling at these lower gain levels.

Wow, just wow. That group thing really worked! One day later after all our cards were sent to each other I went from 19 second chances in my Watchful category to 44 freakin' SC! I'm up 3 stat points from when I started so far, so it's awesome! My thanks to Nitebrite (the leader of leaders here) and all others in my group for this awesome setup! (Then again, if there's one FL-related De Facto state for NiteBrite, it's typically awesome as well, M'Lady!)

I agree we need to figure something out about the cards. Not only do we all probably have friends who are not in our group, but others who are not even part of this scheme may send us cards, and it would feel churlish not to reciprocate. I've already sent all my Advent cards to my group, and TtH has dropped seven more into my hot little hands, which I'm going to delay sending for the moment until I figure out what to do with them. The problem with sending out a whole week's cards at once on extra-group friends is that we may receive cards later in the month which we'll want to reply to.
But culling the groups to six, while logical, poses the problem of lack of group leaders. Already, some groups are led by people who have little experience (like your humble obedient). Pulling people out of groups to make another exacerbates the problem of insufficient group leaders.

How goes the power leveling all, getting lots of cards? We're about one week in now and its been quiet here since we set things up; hopefully no news is good news. Sympathies to anyone who didnt get in a group before we closed, but hopefully you've found the general purpose card sending thread. Let me know if this has been a good experience or not, and if you all think this would be worth setting up again next year or if a more general card sending type thread is preferable.

How goes the power leveling all, getting lots of cards? We're about one week in now and its been quiet here since we set things up; hopefully no news is good news. Sympathies to anyone who didnt get in a group before we closed, but hopefully you've found the general purpose card sending thread. Let me know if this has been a good experience or not, and if you all think this would be worth setting up again next year or if a more general card sending type thread is preferable.
it's been great for me (in a group and alts that are not!) When my only problems are not forgetting to cash in my over-capped second chances and getting cards from third parties just before my TTH but I already cashed the MW in for Notability earlier, I can't really complain! I hope we continue this next season or even keep the entire group of people reworked (we may need to tweak some people and groups as applicable) for the next event like Feast of the Exceptional Rose.

Yes, now that the card list is up and running, we need to turn our thoughts to how we can utilize the Feast of the Exceptional Rose.
In unity there is strength!

Team Mostly-Sundays-Mondays, score! I do regret not being able to quickly return cards with their being more limited this year.
I'd need time to be ready as my poor plant is still hobbled from being carted off at midsummer and is at level 12. But I would be interested to be sure.
As someone who doesn't use fate anyway but was a brand new Posi last Feast, is there anything we can do with non-fate gifts?

All good things must come to an end, alas. Emulating the truthseeker, my appreciation to HimmelFallen, Maxwell Q. Tenebris, Sir Jon Halewood, Speethling, TeslaWalker, and VsWest of my exchange group, and approximately 50 others who sent me one or more cards over the course of the season that I had no chance to reciprocate. I hope Sacksmas was fun for all, and next year will be even better!

I agree we need to figure something out about the cards. Not only do we all probably have friends who are not in our group, but others who are not even part of this scheme may send us cards, and it would feel churlish not to reciprocate. I've already sent all my Advent cards to my group, and TtH has dropped seven more into my hot little hands, which I'm going to delay sending for the moment until I figure out what to do with them. The problem with sending out a whole week's cards at once on extra-group friends is that we may receive cards later in the month which we'll want to reply to.
But culling the groups to six, while logical, poses the problem of lack of group leaders. Already, some groups are led by people who have little experience (like your humble obedient). Pulling people out of groups to make another exacerbates the problem of insufficient group leaders.
-- Mal
You could make all the leaders organize but not participate with their own group, and then toss them into a leaders-only group. That might not be optimal, but it's something you can do.

I'll update my post later today with all the new names. We're at a point where we'll just have to make some leaderless groups who will just need to regulate themselves, I can write up rules for self regulation (basically send your preference in a message when you send your card).
Probably best to cull groups down to 6 plus leader or 7 leaderless.
Anyone who wants to lead, start grabbing unclaimed names and list your chosen group here. I'll assign leaderless groups later today for anyone left over after that and let them know about it.
Edit: it will be about 7 hours from the time of this post before I can update the main post and lists.

You don't send yourself a card. So a group of seven sends six cards and has one free. The leaderless group replace the leader with a seventh general participant.

Pressure? I'll show you pressure! I had to scramble to get my first point of Notability from someone so I could use a week's worth of MW to buy the second, all while sending out Advent cards and looking at the new PoSI story lines... all ONE HOUR before my TtH was due. Pulled it off, too, because I'm just that good. (And fellow Londoners that helpful)
And no, Mr Underhill, no one has done a spreadsheet so far, so if you feel up to a project, go for it.

It hadn't even occurred to me that people outside of my group would send me cards that I would want to reciprocate.
I think perhaps the simplest thing to do would be maybe finish these groups a week early, so that the last week's worth of cards everyone can just send to whoever they wish. That way, cards you've recieved during December can be reciprocated, and if there's others you want to send a card to, you can. So end these groups on the 18th or so.
I suggest ending a week early, because then you will have received most of the cards you're going to, so you can then send cards accordingly. Whereas if we, say, skipped next week, we'd all then have the issue of cards we receive during the rest of December that we wish to reciprocate.

First post updated, we currently have 10 unclaimed names if you are considering making a group. Please check your information, if its missing or wrong let me know.
Notice: Because we are only getting 7 cards instead of 8, I am going to recommend we end a week early (after 3 weeks) so that existing groups of 8 can have a by-week at the end to send outside of their group rather than going through the trouble of kicking out members to make more groups.
Supplemental Note: Mr Underhill has provided a spreadsheet template for groups to make their own copies of which could be useful. So I have added it to the first post per their request.

Sephiroph2727 graciously offered to leave my group, to reduce the numbers, but it appears there is no empty slot. Since I don't want it to be orphaned, it is still in my group unless someone else has room for it. **Edit: Confirm Seph now with Ally Mooney**
I am thinking that even one "free" week may not be enough to reciprocate all cards received from outside a Group, so I've decided that, if at any time one of my group wants to send a card to someone not in ours, he may feel free to short me. That might give a bit of breathing space, and I am getting many cards from outside as it is, so I don't lack!
It might be helpful to re-post our groups, since so many new ones have formed, so I'll start:
Malthaussen (Shadowy>Dangerous>Watchful>Persuasive)(Tuesday)
Maxwell Q Tenebris (Watchful or Shadowy)(Tuesday)
vswest (Persuasive)(Tuesday)
TeslaWalker (Any; watchful>>Persuasive)(Tuesday)
Sir Jon Halewood (Dangerous>Shadowy>Watchful>Perusasive)(Wednesday)
Speethling (Shadowy>Dangerous>Watchful>Pesuasive)(Saturday)
HimmelFallen (Any)(Saturday)

Just because they keep saying it, doesn't mean it's true. I guess that indicates intent to implement acquaintance restrictions one day, so we can't rule it out as a possibility for the future, but historically it has not been required. So I'd recommend waiting to see if it's required or not this year before rushing to send cards. I don't think it will be though, I see no reason why it would since its already restricted in other ways.

Only about 10 cp this year and not the famous 10-70, right? Felt so... I always arrive late to a party.

Hah, A falling kitten, thank goodness your name is always first on all my lists! I pushed "Enter" to add somebody as a contact in-game, but ended up sending out a card instead. Luckily, Fei Xue happens to be in your group.
Also, I second the idea about dedicating one week to 'freeform' sending outside of our groups. I have some friends who play FL a bit, but are not frequent players, nor are they active on the forums (one of them just started today, actually!). They could use the added boost.
Also, I owe a certain Mr Astherson a card. ._.

There is a Bonus Code you can use to get Neathmas cards if you don't have TTH yet or spent all your cards between resets. Be warned: if you had TTH in December and hjave any cards in inventory, before you use the code, spend all your original cards first before using the code and logging in, or it simply will reset back to 7 and not stack!
(My Neathmas TTH is Friday and I already sent all of my bonus ones out to my Group as per their requests, as they should benefit first from any cards. Later, should we rotate out, we'll see about cards going elsewhere.) Since that thread was closed, just in case directly linking to the code deletes replies or locks threads, I'm only linking to the thread and the players can use the link on that thread to find the bonus code. (it's rather simple to figure out.)

it's confusing as to how the action is worded, but as she wrote, no.
Other things you may need to do with your group could require that acquaintance, depending on what actions you may need to exchange. Here is all the things one is "Acquainted with" another one can do.

Okay everyone above this post who has asked to participate, I have added your names and TTH dates to the first post. If you didn't list your TTH date, I put you on Friday so be sure to confirm your information is correct. We currently have 44 total participants or 5 and a half groups with leaders. This is the minimum amount of participants to be able to roll spare players into groups of 9 if needed (if we don't get enough players to make a 6th group). We have 2 volunteer leaders on standby meaning we could go as far as 8 groups if more people show up.
Group assignments: I'll leave this up to the confirmed leaders to pick their teams and post it here. Picks will be on a first come first serve basis. Leaders are encouraged to pick people based on how close they are to their TTH, but there's flexibility in this given that several leaders volunteered for early in the week and there are a lot of participants in the later part of the week.
Leaders: Stay alert. TTH could bring Potential Cards any day now so be prepared to contact your team on a moment's notice. Remember, it is your job to communicate with your group to make sure they know who their teammates are and what their teammates card preferences are on a weekly basis.

NiteBrite you have misspelled my name in the first post )
Ah my apologies this is what happens when I work on these things at 1:00 in the morning. It's fixed now. Everyone who has just joined the thread (above) has been added to the first post now. Additionally, if a group leader has claimed you for their group, I have listed their name after yours in the first post as a quick reference. Only a few leaders have checked in since last night, so expect more names to be claimed as the week progresses. We now have 48 players which is players for 6 full groups with leaders, although the 6th group may be short 2 players if they hold off on claiming the 2 standby leaders.
If we get enough players, suhe gul will be forming the seventh group as a leader. If we get new players, but not enough to form a 7th full group, then we will wrap the spare players into the existing groups as necessary. Thanks all and have fun meeting your new group. Consider saying hello to each other in game while we wait for the cards to be released.

Sorry, thought I should acknowledge I have been picked and thank Cecil for leading this. and the group spoilered below.
If anybody needs anything in regards 'Neathmas-related, please send a message to the truthseeker directly or you may PM me here. (I'll make sure from now on, to check my messages in the FL game first before spending turns if need be.)

We're low on leaders so I'm trying to prioritize new players into the last new groups possible. But I'll update the first post with people on this page soon including your alt.
If we don't get some more leader volunteers though, then we may have to wrap your alt and late joiners into existing groups from now on. We're slightly over capacity as is.
