Last Sacksmas, the denizens of our city clubbed together to trade cards with each other in groups of seven. Each member of the group traded six of his seven weekly cards to the others in the group, reserving one to trade to acquaintances elsewhere. It was a very successful initiative, created by the stimulus of NiteBrite (with an assist from your humble obedient). What with one thing and another, I forgot to set this up this year, and lo, December is already upon us. It may have been for the best, though, since we couldn't know if FBG were going to change the Festival rules or not.

So, here are the rules: Submit in this thread your in-game name, a link to your character, and the time of your Time the Healer (which is when the cards will typically be delivered). Also list what cards you want: there are four varieties, and each adds Change Points to one of the stats. You will be sorted into groups of seven with the same TtH. Then, when you receive your cards, send out one each to the other members of the group. They, of course, will also be sending theirs out, which means you will get at least six cards per week, which will provide a substantial boost to your stats and Second Chances. You keep one free per week to send to the acquaintance of your choosing.

Also specify if you are willing to lead a group. This is not an onerous task, and consists mainly of acquainting all the members of the group with each other, and reminding them to send out their cards when they get them. Some of us have no need of the increases given by the cards because our stats are already maxed. This makes one an ideal leader, as it will be unnecessary to send him any cards, thus freeing up two in the weekly offering.

Link to NiteBrite's original thread last year, for those interested: http://community.failbettergames.com/topic21121-sacksmas-power-leveling-card-sending-list-.aspx

Note when sending cards that The Airs of London dictates what card you will send. By using actions to set this properly, the correct card can be sent to each recipient. The values are as follows:

  • 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


Also note that sending a card will give you a few CP in the appropriate stat and some Making Waves.



Thus: Malthaussen (link in sig), TtH Tuesday, ~1500 Zulu. No cards needed, willing to lead.

I will be checking frequently to sort everyone and fix leaders. Expect it to take a couple of days to shake out. Running summary:

No Saturday or Sunday groups, see the Consolidated Groups.


Don't forget to check the advent calendar 1 December for 7 additional cards.
TtH will begin supplying cards on 5 December. Note that you do need to send all your week's cards before the next TtH rolls around, or you'll lose them.

As of 5 December, it has been confirmed that TtH is making cards available. Thus those groups which have not enough members to be formed will be consolidated into mixed groups. Members of these groups will send their cards as they become available.

First Consolidated Group. Leader Myrto, Set infra

Maintaining a controlling interest in my soul requires a pretty constant negotiation between the various shareholder interests. Thankfully the Fingerkings 23% control makes a pretty good foil to unite the other factions enough to get to 51%.

Such a lovely idea! This is my first Sacksmas, and I'd love to take part.

My username is Ketchua, TtH comes Tuesday (a couple of minutes after midnight, according to the email), and I'm up for anything (Shadowy is my main stat, as far as I'm concerned).

Marvellous idea! TtH comes every Thursday morning for me. I would love to raise my Watchful and Dangerous. If anyone from the group wishes to exchange any other social action as well, don't hesitate.

The following people have corrupt/non-functioning links: Edward Blackgate, Meradine Heidenreich, Roger Deganhand, and Alodia Eschec. Unfortunately, it appears there are still a few bugs in the system.

Jack of Smiles, TtH Thursday.
Shalinoth, TtH Tuesday.
Jack of Chimes, TtH Wednesday.

All my characters stat capped, so don't worry about reciprocating with cards. If you want, send something social back, or silver. If you're feeling generous, send Shalinoth a boxed gift (he's still looking for his Soul since before Hallowmas!)

Signature links should work.
