The feast has just started and I was planning to get a Dreadful Surmise (for Christmas later this year) from sharing honey with the princess:
https://fallenlondon.fandom.com/wiki/Share_a_little_honey_with_the_Captivating_Princess
But when I drawed the card I was unable to do so since I got "Acquaintance: the Captivating Princess" from last year's Advent Calendar. Is there any way to remove this quality?
(I posted this on Reddit too)

Hello!
James is implementing a work around for this, as we don't want you to miss out!

I was wondering if anything was going to be done about this too. I've never been able to play this option and now it seems like I never will because of this stupid trap option on the advent calendar.
I guess from now on I will create alts before clicking access codes if we're going to get permanent negative consequences like this from them.

Confirmed that you can get a second Dreadful Surmise if you've played this option in a previous year. More precisely: If you have previously taken honey with her once, then gotten a second CP from the advent calendar, you can meet her once again this year. However, if you had only 1CP of princess acquaintance at the start of this feast (eg from the advent calendar), you can actually take honey with her twice this year. That's what I've done: I unlocked the stat from the advent calendar, but since I had never met her before, I've now taken honey with her twice this week, and earned two surmises.
The luckiest group would be players who have either never had any interaction with her before, or had taken honey with her in a preceding year, but didn't open the door in the calendar. Those people have a chance to get up to three surmises out of meetings with her.
Certainly an interesting fix they came up with.

Well I'm one of the new players that fell for the advent calendar, but what's up with that Acquaintance raised to 2? Did FB actually change something in the last few hours, or what has transpired? I'd of course love to redeem my curiousity during winter... This FotR option is originally the only way to get the acquaintance with the Princess. It's also the only non-Fate/SMEN way to get a Dreadful Surmise, which makes it kind of a big deal. As you saw in Advent Calendar last year, they gave out the quality (and only the quality), apparently without realizing about how it'd interact with this FotR option. As a workaround for that, now the option only locks when you have Acquaintance: the Captivating Princess 2 instead of the previous lower lock of 1.
