I would like to submit a public bug report: Rats-on-a-string, Venge-Rat Corpses, Rattus Faber Corpses, and Starveling Cats are not under the Ratness category. This is clearly a massive, game-breaking oversight and needs to be fixed yesterday. This is a joke complaint please note this.

The funny thing is, it was actually an oversight. The Ratness category has existed since we first rebuilt the economy, but it's been incomplete so we never assigned newer items to it.
I think everyone who sent me rats or reasonable facsimiles has now received a Rat of Glory. If not, then consider writing me a letter of complaint from your lodgings, but also consider the possibility that I might send you a bomb instead.

Alexis, did you make yourself immune to sending of rats or something? It seems, I was late to the party, and I find that I can send you gifts of admiration, but not rats.

I bet there's a new requirement that makes it impossible to send it to anyone with a ridiculous number of rats.

I could not participate in Ratmas (servers burning and whatnot, I thought I'd have more time), if anyone has a rat they wouldn't mind parting with...
The postal system these days must be so busy...
Anyway, I like to see that events like this are happening, it gives an incentive to be active in the community .

Post your Rats on a String to a certain address
Send your rats to the right place, and you may receive something in return.
Post a handful of rats.
The Compulsive Rat Fancier will reward your enthusiasm with one of his finer specimens. This will always gain you Rattus Faber Corpses. There may be other effects.
A matter of luck: it could go either way.
Post a staggering quantity of rats.
Why? What compels you to do this? This will always gain you many Rattus Faber Corpses

You can try to ambush Alexis with rats, but I think he's made himself immune to rats somehow. And even then, results are not guaranteed. Try sending him a letter of complaint cut into the shape of a rat. You might not get a bomb!
Perhaps if you're good (or bad) Mr Sacks will leave one in your fireplace, where it will awaken and devour your candles.

Yes. All qualities of any significance are available somewhere, somehow, more than once eventually; and the RoG was coming anyway, I just brought it out early to respond to all these miscreants with their rat-floods.

I'm not a miscreant! I am, at worst, a delinquent.

I just realized I forgot to send Mr Eaten rats on Ratmas! This mistake has been rectified.
Also, are you going to shield yourself from rats henceforth? Because that's simply unsporting. ;~;

I'll have you know that sending rats is an entirely serious endeavor, taken with the utmost of gravity. >:|

Unfortunately, I was unable to play yesterday due to server crashes, and I seem unable to send rats today, so instead i have created a haiku filled with Delicious Love and Abominable Hunger for You all!
Reckoning Ratmas
Eaten, that Eaten,
To the Mr in the Eaten.
I'll build a shrine dedicated to Alexis in the back of my garden and I'll flog myself till I'll drop unconscious before the Greatness of Firstborn of All Creation, Fountain of Hesperidean Cider, Alexis Kennedy!
...Yeah, I really want that waxed rat...

Normally we would never consider transposing a tradition from one forum to another, especially in matters as grave as this, but we think this warrants it:
Happy first pwnst.

What your haiku really means
But it's rather nice.
