The Feast of the Rose is now entirely over, and Lilac is no longer available to accept Masquing.
What to look forward to next?
Through early March, we’ll be continuing to make small updates and improvements, but the next major new event in Fallen London will be the Parabolan War.
Read more on our blog.

Well well! We'd best get our whacking sticks ready, the snakes' day of reckoning approaches!

I wonder what we'd have gotten had FF Gebrandt won. Sadly, we're getting a war.

Ignacious, the Fluid Professor, he will accept most social invitations, including boxed cats and affluent photographers (but only betrayals), though he is absent-minded and might take more time than entirely necessary. He apologizes.

It will be interesting to see how the player community responds. I remember one year, people opting out of the election because they were being mobbed constantly. Some people opt out of the election even now. So we'll have to see how it pans out.

Speaking as a determined opponent of the Liberation can I just say, "What this country needs is a short, victorious war to stem the tide of revolution."
It's early 1900 now so in a few years I expect the aphorism "Never get involved in a land war in [Parabola]" will become popular.

I hope there'll be an option to stay neutral/work towards peace/mediate between the parties/be a double agent. Any of those. All of those.

I wanna be able to stay neutral. Or at least set up a place to be a respite for all those wary, tired, or sick of war.

I hope there'll be an option to collect and display all the fingerkings I kill on a lanyard.
Maybe several lanyards.
Just call me the Saint Patrick of Parabola, or whatever his Neathy equivalent may be.

Don't know much about this event since it's my first time... Not a fan of war in any form, but I suppose it's worth seeing through. Definitely hoping there's a neutral path to this.

I’m not sure how the Parabolan War has anything to do with the Liberation, but I admire the irony of using a quote that is famous exactly for having been followed by total failure in both its mentioned means and purpose...

Why, by stirring patriotic fervor, and otherwise being a distraction of course! (Precisely the same relationship between the Russo-Japanese war and the socialist revolution - it helps that we're only a few years off!)
(Out of character, I expect the participants to become (further) mired in a never ending, futile struggle with meaningless, temporary victories and countless power shifts. Hence the second (mis)quote).)
