Christmas Wishes in Fallen London

Hannah Flynn Administrator Posts: 491 12/1/2015	THE FALLEN LONDON ADVENT CALENDAR Visit the Fallen London Advent Calendar every day until Christmas to receive a snippet of sepulchrally Yuley narrative, and something besides: trinkets, magpie-treasures, and occasionally, something rare. Follow us on Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook to be reminded when a new gift is released. Open the first window now! Edit, 7th Dec: We've buffed the advent calendar so it works across more browsers! We also filled in the rest of the windows, to address a misunderstanding that it was simply a desktop background. Now you get to hunt and pick at doors to your heart's content. CHRISTMAS CARDS IN FALLEN LONDON Tell your friends you are thinking of them this festive season with a Fallen London Christmas card! Your stock of cards will be replenished weekly by Time, the Healer. Find them in your Lodgings, under Send a Christmas Card. (You no longer need to be acquaintances to exchange Christmas cards, unless you intend to arrange for the Bazaar to send a Christmas card on your behalf.) Find new players to exchange cards with here, on the Fallen London subreddit, Facebook, Twitter (using #flcards) and Tumblr. EXCEPTIONAL MERCHANDISE The Fallen London Store is now bursting with clothes, accessories and gift ideas for you and your delicious friends. New in: the Mr Sacks range, guaranteed to attract second glances at Christmas parties (is that Father Christmas? Where are his eyes?). Also new for the season and by popular request: Hello Delicious Hot Chocolate mugs!

The Duke of Waltham Posts: 150 12/13/2015	Here in northern Greece I cannot remember a sunnier November than the one we've just had, and although it's very cold after sunset (falling to around 0 °C late at night), the weather is still sunny most days, very pleasant in the early afternoon (up to 14 °C in the shade, I read, but I avoid that shade, for it is treacherous). Meanwhile, I have also tired of this waiting game (rendered more annoying by my inability to compare with previous years, not having experienced another Sacksmas), and have taken Mini-Me down to Flute Street. I don't expect to stay many days, but it's an interesting place. And so deep... I'm not even sure how we could possibly be communicating right now. -- The Duke of Waltham welcomes requests for assistance from those troubled by menaces, and His Grace's townhouse is always open to visitors who will not attempt to steal the silverware or extract support for yet another ill-advised scheme concerning photographers.

MrBurnside Posts: 188 12/5/2015	I confess that I'm getting nervous about how long it's taking for the "Snowbound" portion of Sackmas to begin. From looking at the historical info on the wiki, it seems like the evolution of Sackmas over the years has been all to the good. And I'd be the last to suggest that they have an obligation to announce new changes beforehand. I am, however, getting nervous even if I don't have the right to be. I've built up Scholar of the Correspondence, purchased a Monocle and been heavily stocking up on Last Chance...'s, Threnodies (which have little other purpose) and Scheme (to convert to Favorable Circumstance) since before Hallowmas and from the forum activity I'm not alone. The longer the streets are clear, the fewer opportunities there are to draw Urchins and the more resources will have to be spent to force it. All assuming that Pails can still be bought. Most of what I've done can be used/spent/sold/converted for other things eventually so it's not a net-loss or anything.

Of course, if the Squid is random, then it becomes more chancy, but if you have candles you want to keep, it would be very risky to do anything but give it to the Scuttling Company. -- Mal The Scuttling Squid sells for only 10 echoes so if you have one already, or perhaps an item with a slightly different name, that option isn't really worth it.

I've updated the first post to reflect the change: Edit, 7th Dec: We've buffed the advent calendar so it works across more browsers! We also filled in the rest of the windows, to address a misunderstanding that it was simply a desktop background. Now you get to hunt and pick at doors to your heart's content.

So it seem we are unable to use past windows with a lag of 5 days or so. I must echo that I stand corrected as well. I was hoping the shoveling would occur on Day 7, but it seems unlikely now. I am still hoping it will happen this week, but we shall see in due time. If it's being replaced by something different, that could be refreshing. Anyway, I found Day 6 to be quite an hilarious advent event, while day 7 with all it's glory is simply spiff. I am torn between getting a squad or risking it for enigmas, but I am leaning towards the squad because they do have a little more use to me in the long run. I'll probably hold off a little bit, but this is quite a treat indeed, especially for newer folks as well. I also love the light snow touch on the calendar now, looking forward to how it evolves over time. edited by Ridagoth on 12/7/2015 -- Ridagoth-A Midnighter who forgets more than usual with Irrigo clinging to them...

Theus Posts: 311 12/7/2015	[spoiler]Hrm, the code on the page updated to say "Let it Wax" instead of "Let it Snow." If you folks keep rewarding us for pulling at every thread, we're going to keep doing it. (This shouldn't sound sinister, but internet, so wanted to clarify it should be read as jovial). Anyway, the snow on the advent calendar is coded to day > 6 light, day > 13 medium, day > 20 heavy, but the code itself is updated daily.
