I am a former seeker, eagerly awaiting its return, because apparently I enjoy seeing my character suffer. And I've been processing the Alexis blog and any forum mentions of how things fell apart on Winking Isle. I've come to the conclusion that I LIKE Alexis, and I LIKE Nitebrite, which is strange because I haven't met or interacted with them online. There's something about the honesty of raw emotion that touches my soul & makes me want to shower the digital universe in hugs. Reading Alexis's blog, I was struck by how his suffering seemed like an Eaten quest in the real world, which is unfair because seekers in the game are thoroughly warned. He offered up his art, then got stomped on. I'm not accusing anyone here of doing the stomping. One of the things that has impressed me with these Eaten forum threads is the outpouring love, both for the storyline and the creator of it. And I wanted to add my little piece of affection as well.

In all matters of the Bazaar, always look to love. Even in the real world.

I only just recently discovered this was a thing, I'd been hoarding enigmas awaiting my chance to increase my MArsh-mired. I will continue to do so! I have put my character through a lot of pain and turmoil and I had no idea there was any new content because I'd been stalled by the need to gather tokens via K&C.
Onwards into misery!

A question, with the more recent events surrounding Mr E, can we still answer the "Mysteries" question with "In the well"? Or would the name of that unfortunate island be more accurate? (Was he actually there? Or was that another empty well? I'm unclear) I'm wondering since the "Mysteries" tab will be closing soon.

hahaha, ahahaha, yesss. I was able to poke rats of glory until they
[spoiler]ate my saint candles. Which was what I wanted them to do. Now, when all the new seeking content comes out I get to do it all again from scratch and relive all the fun times <3 [/spoiler]

Nitebrite is pretty terrifying (and wonderful) ♥ I have a mental image of them cackling gleefully while stroking a pet rat (which is hissing) and muttering "soon! SOON!" :p

Its very simple, I want to go to the carnival again and feed it all the delicious new five card lodgings. All of them. All the lodgings in the game must be fed to the well. It hungers so haha. Granted I still need to grind materials to get the other two lodgings, but its only a matter of time

You'd probably get Scorched by the Sun again, too, if that didn't give Free Of The Name. D:
Like I said. I don't understand you. You are scary, but fun. And you have cat ears.

So, given the still-locked but visible things that are on the "Seeking Road:" It seems the option requiring a Watchful check is a sort of inverse to a character's Watchful score. (Fitting with the flavour text)
And am I right in thinking that the Ambition:Enigma is only for Clay Men characters? They haven't made those createable again, have they?

You are wrong in thinking that Ambition: Enigma is only for Clay Men.
Edit: You also seem to be wrong about the Watchful check. I just checked, and higher Watchful gives you a higher chance at succeeding at the check.

Really? Interesting. I observed the opposite. And where else does the Ambition Enigma come from? It seems rather... enigmatic, oddly enough, given the four ambitions normally presented.

Well, Enigma is a meta thing, found through solving a metagame puzzle; so far, it seems to be a developer commentary on certain aspects of the game.

When all this went down, I'd just created an alt for the specific purpose of forcing him to seek the Name, because I found I'd grown too attached to my main character to destroy them. While awaiting Death by Water dreams, I took advantage of the advent calendar link and had my main turn back at the brink, then un-free themself of the Name, ready to help the alt later if needed.
So I got caught right at an inopportune time when neither of my characters has any Seeking. Hard luck, and I can't deny I'm somewhat resentful that legal-threaty-person spoiled the fun at the worst moment for me. (Well, could have been worse still if I'd been much deeper into the content, but then at least I'd have seen some of the juicy text!)

Seeker of Names feels your pain. I was just beginning to make proper progress on becoming a Scholar of the Correspondence when everything got locked.

Seeker of Names is a... being with an obsession. They're willing to accept all invitations.
One who seeks to know all that is and may be. One who dances in the silence of the void. One whose fantasies make the reality come alive.

I've remained quiet throughout all the shenanigans, partly because I wasn't well at the time, and partly because Christmas, but I'm very much looking forward to the Seeking Road continuing. And I still have my three candles as badges of honour.
We will find it, you know. We will. We must.

Alas, Asclepius Unbound is now forever beyond the reach of invitations. A successful Seeker.
