I got the card twice yesterday, but haven't seen it so far today.
Putting the Pieces Together: the Drownies caps at three, I've discovered, but you still get the extraordinary implication.

Odd... I've definitely gone through far more cards than that. My luck is atrocious.

my question is this: why is the thread title Hallowmas 1892 if the ingame year is 1891?

That... is an excellent question, actually.

Even the blog post says 1892, so it's probably not a typo. Maybe a misnumbering.
Or maybe we're going to fall asleep for a year and get woken up by a kiss from a snake or something.

Maybe it's a special endgame clue

I got and used the card on both my characters several time before the 24th, but I used them, and since them, nothing... Can we really get them anywhere? I've been spending some time at court to work on the making of the waves.

Yeah, the card has no requirements and isn't location specific, so it should show up anywhere.

A commotion in the Square of Lofty Words' card, where you can pay 10 Echoes to send what basically amounts to a Bundle of Oddities. I guess that bundle is likely to turn out to be worth a lot less than 10 Echoes, but if the bundle might contain one of the rare results it could very well be worth it. Certainly something I could see people doing once their need for Echoes has diminished. It does diminish, right? There comes a time when you have already bought everything money can buy, right? Come on, people. Tell me what it's like to be rich...

I believe a couple of people have bought the Hesperidean Cider. So there are indeed a couple of people whose need for echos has diminished... I am not one of them. Oh, and I got my first visitor yesterday.

I don't think anyone has bought the hesperidian cider because you'd need to grind for practically as long as the game's existed to afford it
i mean there was that one kickstarter backer who got it but that doesn't count

Ok, my mistake. So, nobody really knows what it's like to be rich in this game. Still, I have sent the surprise package once. I just wanted to try it!

Well, there's rich, then there's "live forever" rich. You can get rich enough to have a few big houses and be able to buy most things you want... just not, you know, immortality. I think everyone who can do that was doing so even before London fell, so they're kind of outside of London's economy.

Though, unfortunately, a breeding pair are only good for one kid. We don't yet know whether a sustainable breeding operation can be begun by investing in four goats.

A quick web search for "fused goats" brought me to the horrifying Musée Fragonard d’Alfort, and I think I shall pursue the subject no more.

Theoretically you could get the cider by spending about $1,500 on Nex then dumping all that Nex into gifts to the MerryGentleman. It would still take a while but it should be relatively "easy", presuming one had a couple grand and nothing better to burn it on.
