For past years, the only big one was having a Starveling Cat.

What was the option? How far back was this? Because I never saw it?

Here you go. It was a month or so ago.and appeared under Matters of the Heart, of all places. The first unlock was not having Sinning Jenny's Confession; the second was "Proposing an Exchange with" someone.

Hallowmas is coming and that means NPC confessions! Usually Sunless Sea promotional characters, but perhaps more.
It'd be fun if we could suggest who we would like to see show up for Hallowmas next year, similar to how we can suggest Mayoral candidates. There's all kinds of fave characters out there whose confessions I'd love to hear for sure.

Yeah, it was a unintentionally-visible option in development.

I thought the suggestion thread was a player-made thing?

For those newer to the Feast, the higher level rewards previously did include point(s) of Notablity, so you may want to increase yours in preparation.

@Robin Alexander: yes, it went smoothly, but I don't think FBG expected (or intended) so many people to get over 1000 points. Since they didn't even have any special rewards for more than 500.
I don't think it is the fact that many people got top prizes and more the fact that it is a narrative collapse where swarms of people dancing around the Bazaar, wearing scandalous clothing and actively clawing themselves with Starveling Cats, all for the sake of good money.
Also, many people's friend list exploded with thousands of people they don't normally talk to, which probably put a strain on the server a little. Guilty as charged.

Thousands is a bit of an exaggeration. We had a little over 300 participants, and contacts lists don't even break until you hit 1400. But yeah that tech could use some upgrading to handle decently sized lists of contacts in the literal thousands one day. That's the dream.

The Feast of Masks will take place from 24th October until the 7th November. But be aware, this festival of confessions and betrayal is unlike the ones that have come before it, and you may find that not everything will be revealed at once.
New for Hallowmas 1894
The Hallowmas of 1894 will include some new features, such as:
- new confessions from prominent Fallen London characters
- an entirely new way to trade confessions
- certain companions will be involved
Fallen London is a city of a thousand stories, and gathering secrets will attract certain powerful entities of the Neath. Will you honour the trust of those who confess?
Confessions at the Feast of Masks
Don your mask and collect confessions. Then it’ll be your choice to trade them to friends, factions, or other prominent people of the Neath.
At the end of the festival, Mr. Huffam will still be about looking to interview festival-goers. While the Spirit of Hallowmas is absent this year, you will still discover a Hallowmas epilogue and special epithet.
Destinies
The ability to acquire or change your destiny will be the same as previous years. This can only be done at certain times of the year, so be sure to take advantage of the chance!

I'm guessing it may be about time for someone to compile lists like last year, of who's willing to be betrayed and the like, as that was rather useful last year.
Don't bother, the mechanics are far different from last year and spreadsheeting will not be necessary

I'm feeling nostalgic, now, since it was just this time last year I started in FL. A year later, 100 actions a day, and there is still a ton of content I have not explored.

I'm both excited and a tad apprehensive of my first Hallowmas. And though things seem to be changing for this year, I might as well ask: I've heard rumours it would be useful to have your soul when celebrating Hallowmas, is this true? Should I focus on gathering as many bundles of oddities as I can?

If you spend a small amount of fate, you can sell your soul for a high price. You don't need it for the celebrations.

Okay, good to know. I thought it might be something like the University storyline, but luckily not!
