So how often does this event happen approximately? Because I have been playing for about 20 months or so and I don't remember ever seeing it. Though there was a four month period I was completely offline.
I can only speak to the past version of this event, but historically for the last two years in a row it showed up as an access code from the FBG twitter/facebook on the last couple days of January. It also only lasted like two days before vanishing for the rest of the year.

Or am I getting my years mixed up?

Hannah and Chris, if De Gustibus won't be showing up at the time we expected, will it at least appear sometime in the relatively near future? I and many others have been planning on exchanging certain Vials for Books.

Ah I see where the confusion lies: http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Snickerer?fromEchoId=3211617
As you can see from the link above, yes De Gustibus did show up on the 24th of February 2014. But that's the text for selling a pail. This means that pails were still around in February of 2014. Pails melted for the first time ever in February 2015.
So I was right that De Gustibus purchased pails two years in a row, but I was wrong in thinking that the dates were consistent. Considering the 2015 De Gustibus date move coincided with the mechanics change to make pails melt, it wasn't too much of a logical leap to assume that the De Gustibus date was moved -because- pails were going to melt. Ah well.

Well, last year I was offline on January-March. Missed the Rose feast too. No matter what the decision is for this event, should it go forward whenever it does, I do hope it is posted here in this thread as well. (But since I logged in here instead of Twitter first, I guess I don't have to check if I missed it there.)

I missed participating last year, although I was playing every day. But I was off of both the forums and social media, so I would have missed any access code announcements.

I might also miss it this year because I won't be able to check Fallen London and the forum too often in the coming weeks.
So... Maybe everybody who wants to see De Gustibus this year but might miss it could leave their e-mail adress here, so that a kind soul informs everybody when De Gustibus is live ? Does that seem good ?

Appreciate the tip, as Time is due for me this evening. Just fed my last three buckets to a Boar. What's the cap on that option incidentally? I went from PtPT 10 to 13 with no problems.

The highest you can reach via that option is 16.

So... just wondering. It's almost Sacksmas. Is De Gustibus going to show up at all this year? I was really hoping to meet them...

If anything, I'd expect De Gustibus would appear after Sacksmas finished, to let people sell spare pails of snow.

But that's exactly what people expected. For De Gustibus to appear after Sacksmas finished, to let people sell spare pails of snow.

I don't particularly care when it appears, I would just like for it to appear. I joined FL in the fall of 2015 and I haven't experienced it yet and I would really like to ^_^

My point isn't that it will appear then; rather that it would be the most logical time if it were to return. Both previous times of De Gustibus were after Sacksmas and let players sell spare snow, though the first came in March as snow melting wasn't implemented that year.
