Also on the topic of Wines, the whole paragraph struck me as odd. Calling the Mute/Cumberbold and the Purveyor of Names "servants of Mr Mirrors and Mr Cups respectively" speaks of a specificity that I can't find in my records (they were only in contact with Scathewick, and even Scathewick claimed he didn't know who he worked for beside the sigil on the payment). And the latter half of the paragraph... just didn't exist in my records.

Was someone on the forum going to write a summary of the Ambition events?

And besides, I'm guessing that it will take few more months before the 3rd part of the conclusion. During this time, I bet one third of London will be scandalous! For Flash Lays, of course.

The next update of Nemesis has been teased as "Very soon" in-game. One may observe on the announcement that the Ambition updates that there is a very reasonable potential timetable potentially hidden under the redactions: 3 weeks of Nemesis, 1 week break, 3 weeks of Feast of the Rose, 3 weeks of Bag a Legend, 1 week break, 3 weeks of Light Fingers, and 3 weeks of Heart's Desire.

Furthermore, Ambitions have been treated as "written": from the AMA, "I've written the Nemesis conclusion and I imagine we'll be announcing who wrote the other 3 soon enough." There's a case to be made for Nemesis finishing on a timescale of weeks rather than months.

Psst, delicious friend -


Seeing as you're a forums member, how about a little secret access to the first part of Nemesis' conclusion?


Sentiment is a luxury you cannot afford. Not until you have had your debt in blood.

Today I received a reply to my inquiry regarding the odd paragraph in the in-game summary. Now the paragraph has been changed to the following:
[spoiler]Returning to London, you chased this new pair, discovering them to be servants of the Masters. Both had been expected to die by their former Masters, cast off.[/spoiler]
The change should be reflected in all journal echoes already.

I've elided both bits from the text - after consultation, we're not entirely certain where either reference came from enough to be certain of their inclusion here (Possibly a victim of over-writing here) - to make things more legible for the recap.

Battitude update: still no battitude.

It's also worth noting that I have never, not ever, received a Bat with Attitude.

For many years, I couldn't seem to get a single Bat with Attitude. Now I have 11. Patience, Tom! You may yet get one--or even a whole flock.

Odd -- I have 10 of the little fellows. However, it has to be said I always play the "release a bat into the clouds" option and never the Great Game. I don't see any other source for them -- how do you obtain them from Flash Lays?

That quibble aside, I'm enjoying this little odd trip so far and I'm currently making preparation for going to a certain hard to reach place in order to regain what was lost.

Was someone on the forum going to write a summary of the Ambition events? Because I started Nemesis a long time ago when I didn't know what I was doing and d__n if I can remember most of what has happened...

Hannah, I get the error &quotnemesisearlylaunch438768295782' has already been used up and was not applied&quot when I follow the link. Is that to be expected? (It's also worth noting that I have never, not ever, received a Bat with Attitude. *sad sigh*)

The ambition update is now public, and you do not need the code to access it.

how do we access it? is it going to come up among our 'sometimes' cards, or is there somewhere specific I'm supposed to go to start it off? sorry if these are silly questions

You get a summary right at the start of this new part! You can spend an action at the first step of the update to reminisce, for a pretty thorough overview of the Ambition this far - I'm very glad they thought to add that in.

Weekly battitude update: still no battitude.

... a bath with attitude.
