Oh, both of course. But how could it be otherwise?

Does anybody recall whether that has been mentioned before? Failbetter once said somewhere that only 1% of registered accounts have ever bought Fate but that was before the current model of subscription was introduced. Here on the forums, you'd probably find about 50% of regular users are subscribers - but that's just a guess, I have no real information about this either.

Any recent updates on the next faction (Urchins, yes) to be converted to the Renown/Favors system? Or on adding little goodies in the vein of Rubbery Men to previously converted factions such as Criminals or Docks?

I don't think that has been mentioned. You should probably make a new thread and include a poll there. (Though I have no idea how to do that, and the results will probably be skewed towards buying fate)

Only the fact that Urchins are next. This was mentioned some time ago (at the beginning of May), but nothing else since then.

You may also want one copy of each major work (poetry cycle or novel). There aren't many (there are some!) uses for them but the Court is the only place to get them right now.

Has anyone else had problems with the Plans tab recently? I haven’t been able to load mine, and the server keeps returning Error 403 (which means “gateway timeout”) when I try.
And yes, I’ve contacted Failbetter. While I’m waiting for a response, I’m just curious if anyone else has had this problem.

I can live with that. At least, now I have the chance to get to that sweet SoTC 10, even after messing up with Court!

Just wondered whether there was a reason some journal entries have different coloured permanent links?

It's a style added to a visited link; as you know, on Google search for example, links change color after visiting them.

Yeah, it is! From buying and partaking of your own box of sunlight. Very illegal.

They certainly use up less dream qualities in escaping them than a trip to the Royal Beth does. (and I hate Is Someone There anyway, who wants to be possessed by a Snake that doesn't exist anyway? I mean, really?)

I think this is the most important question I've ever asked on the forums. I'm saving up for Hesperidean Cider like everyone else, but I've just discovered that I could buy 7000 more Ridiculous Hats in honor of our late friend NiteBrite. Should I do it?
