I've tried twice to track the first guy, and failed by 3 points each time. Though I'm *really* excited to get the map and be on my merry way, I'm really hating the process of getting it.
Failbetter, I hope you're reading this post because I want to say something. I really, really love the game and you guys, but I absolutely hate the way you're padding the recent stories. I get that you need some way to stop us top-level, endgame players from blasting through it in one sitting, but chance based mechanics I can't affect, sometimes without the option to use Fate or rare resources to ensure success? No thanks.
I've not been able to get past the 5th storylet in the Fidgeting Writer story because since it's been released, I've used up ALL my resources to unlock the higher tiers in constant retries of it. And now that I've been so frustrated by it, I have no interest in buying and changing the resources needed to keep playing it. Unless the mechanics for it change to something I have more control over winning or a simple Fate option, I'm probably not gonna touch it again. And I've completed pretty much every other piece of content you have to offer, simply because I love the game that much.
But I do not want a story thread where I'm forced to rely on luck to get by. Please, if you want to pad it out, find a different method.
Although the fact that the smiley button is a Clay Man is totally awesome

So now Polytreme is open to those with a map. Which would be lovely, except nobody has a map. I can't help but picture a sad clay man standing by the shores of the Sea of Voices, carrying a homemade "WELCOME LONDONERS" banner and wondering why nobody has shown up yet.

The sea of voices is now open to those with a screaming map! But with the wait timer, is it possible for anyone to have even one half of a screaming map yet? I must say, I am not a fan of the real-time waiting for actual story things, particularly when the stories are just out there tantalizingly out of reach and I have nothing to do today but continue grind miscellaneous items and wait.
