When do our pails melt? In 2017:
Penstock's Wicket opens - 06/01/17
Urchins stop selling pails - 23/01/17
One week Pail melt warning appears - 24/01/17 (or, possibly, 23/01/17)
Penstock's Wicket closes - 01/02/17
This year the Wicket opened on the 5th so melt it may melt earlier this year. Would be nice if someone has the exact data from last year.

Does that mean that I can bring Noman to the parlour with only ONE Time the Healer hits on his 'friend' ???!!! Hum, think it's 2+ weeks so the minimum will be 3 TtH. Never though if it's possible, with right timing, to need only 2 visits.
Will try and note down the dates of this year for future records.
If you dates are correct (Wicket close 31.1 and parlour opens 13.2) , and if you TtH comes on thursdays, then is possible next situation (this year): wait for TtH on 31.1. , then by Noman AFTER that. Next TtH is on 7.2. (one and only "Noman friend" hit), then go to the parlour on 13.2 and get tatoo. Next TtH is on 14.2. but you already have Noman picture on your hand.
That is only ONE TtH hit !!!
The Feast of the Exceptional Rose is active for one full week before the tattoo parlor opens. I've never seen the Wicket close and the Feast open back-to-back, but even if they did the only opportunity is if FBG is a few minutes off on both switch-overs in the correct directions, and your TtH falls right in the middle of that variance, and you also get your Noman in that few-second gap. More likely, there's at least a day gap between the Wicket and the Feast.
It still might be possible to only have 1 TtH hit before the tattoo parlor opens... if the servers catch on fire and everyone's TtH is delayed by a few days.

Is there a list anywhere of which fate-locked companions/items give you new opportunity cards? I'm not looking for spoilers or even a review of which ones are "worth it", just which ones have them and which ones don't.
I don't know for list. Just know that all beast accessible through Theological Husbandry (20 FATE) have own cards. Such a list would be indeed nice! Specially after a long break or after removing a pet only because it has no use at the moment.
I sometimes forget that some cards have other useful uses or good for a certain goal.

There are measures in place that mean there are fewer than there'd be otherwise, and we get rid of them when we see them!

Does the Millicent's Parlour opens EXACTLY four weeks after Penstock's Wicket closes , or there are some variations? Not at all, not at all!
Last year, Penstock closed on the 30th or 31st and we meet the lady on the 13th of February. So it's more like ~2 weeks.

What is the process required to get ToL 1?
It’s been so long since I’ve had a zero value there, and I’m preparing to see all my accrued ToL get wiped out as I try to keep a Noman alive later this month.
J- Select the pail of snow in your inventory and you'll have options there to raise it. Examining it with your Semiotic Monocle will be most efficient, giving 3 Taste of Lacre; just remember that it has no effect if your ToL is 6 or above.

In Port Carnelian, does it pay to raise Silver Horseheads or Striped Delights as high you can get it? Or are there diminishing returns after you raise the quality beyond X value? (In other words, eg. if I hit Striped Delights 100, should I keep going and get it as high as I can, or should I just stop there because it's not worth raising it beyond 100?) My Port Carnelian Scheme™ has 105 and 316 as the sweet spots (overshooting a little is fine), preferring Tigers where possible. So if you aren't going to get 316, you ought as well focus on getting one of them between 105-109 and saving the rest for a future loop. I've lost the maths, but at both those points one receives an extra €15 worth of items at once (both a €12.5 and a €2.5), so there's probably some sort of "maximizing marginal reward for marginal Horseheads/Stripes" thing that past-me thought was important.

Is there no way to stop the spammers / spambots dropping their junk on this site? This morning, there were two lots of ten apiece an hour apart. It's seriously tedious.

I think the Gift and the Soul Trade are the only ones. The SOul Trade adds one or two, depending on your choices. Cut with Moonlight, HOJOTOHO! the Thief of Faces and the Blemmigan Affair all add options to faction cards.

Nobody here talks about back-to-back Wicket and Parlor. There is old known scheme , that if the gap is N weeks , you can bring Noman with (N-1) TtH hits on his life. According to Skinnyman last year gap was exactly two weeks .
The only condition for this is that your TtH comes the same day when Wicket closes and Wicket closes at the end of the day , not in the morning.
You no need to burn FBG servers.
