Anyone else caught off guard by the Amanuensis makeover? I know we were all expecting it last year, but it took me a minute to process why there was a new face in my hand this morning.

It did take me a few moments of staring to figure out that I was simply looking at the Amanuensis card.

Yeah, that was rattling. Especially coming so soon after the Election, what with that being a portrait from a different election and all, I thought for a second the Devils had dome some damned trickery with the office of the (Lord?) Mayor.

@ Dudebro Pyro, last week
My TtH has also moved backwards by several hours, so the answer to your question is yes.
Since it moves forwards when new lives are created in the Neath, I wonder whether the reasons for it moving backwards are possibly not entirely positive.

Because it seems like most methods of refilling your hand require you to spend a certain minimum number of actions to get through, and Menacing your way out of Flash Lays doesn't, it's possible Failbetter will nerf that option eventually, which will make calculating how much "filling your hand" is worth in addition to the monetary rewards an interesting endeavor, but currently it's probably only worthwhile if you A) don't like using the Flash Lay trick for whatever reason (think it's against the spirit of the game, don't like having to micromanage menaces, etc) or B) think the Flash Lay trick is going to be nerfed soon and don't want to depend on it long term. It's worth noting that the Flash Lay trick has been around for nearly 2 years now and in that span, we've been through both the Fallen London Reworks project and the site redesign. Furthermore, there aren't many ways to nerf the flash resets: either you make the maximum allowed Scandal entering a Flash Lay to be 1 or you remove the Scandal from one of the items; I suspect any such change would be met with a cold reception.

I was more asking for a RP perspective. I wanted to see how long it would take with card refreshes and teaching rewards. To gain immortality through teaching was kind of the goal.

No -- you just go straight there (no zee voyage). Qualities associated with Knife and Candle would be reset if K&C were active, but it isn't.

So I had just gotten lucky until now! Good lord, why does failure and being caught by devils give you romantic notions? I hope they are inspired by the archaeologist, not the devils...
Thank you!
