All truly will be well, it seems.
Pity about Alexis, though; I quite liked seeing him on the forums.

Same, I liked seeing him around here talking and messing with us. Even if I did never benefit of some "special gifts" like the card of winking isle or some messages, it was very funny to see players getting them and everyone being excited 
I'm truly happy that the story will continue. A little bit sad that it will be "domesticated", cause the danger was thrilling, but if it's the cost for seeing the SMEN story continues, I feel ok.

Much happiness that SMEN will continue in the future AND be part of FL proper. This is exactly what I had hoped for. Much sadness that Alexis will no longer be interacting as much on the forums, I shall miss the Tiger greatly (at least that's how I interpret his post)

The strange thing is that SMEN is part of FL. All those mentions of North in the dreams, you meet a few NPC's who are North Driven; then there is something about a well and also it affects how you can interact with the devils. Then it also got entwined with the social actions - you had to recruit other players; play K&C or steal from other Seekers to progress. And I also don't understand how people can say there is more new Eaten content than other FL content. It feels like there are always enough new things being introduced, I've been playing a while but Professions, Notability, Heists, Pickpockets Promenade, Writing Short Stories, Expeditions in the Forgotten Quarter, Destinies and I'm sure other things did not exist when I started playing. Then the start of the game has been changed and Seasonal content is written as well.
But then Seekers are, on the whole, dedicated players so I suppose that it can seem like there is more content for them than other players.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

But I guess we'll just have to wait and see I am still bouncing around that SMEN is not to be scrapped, I must say! I think I might be a little overinvested in this storyline...

Yup, that's it. I do need to step back from friendly non-public conversations, too, to avoid playing favourites with customers. And we are (see other thread) hiring for a role which includes 'community manager'. But I'll still be around.

Does twitter count as friendly non-public conversations, because "yelling at Alexis on twitter" is one of my favourite hobbies, just behind "yelling at everyone else on twitter".
look forward to my new game, twitter yelling simulator 2k17

No, no, Spacemarine, please funnel all your time and energy into the rat sending simulator. If I can't send millions of rats in santa hats to unsuspecting victims, in the spirit of yuletide glory, I will be severely disappointed.

Wonderful news! Ever since I learned that SMEN was a "side project" of Alexis, which was after he locked the content, I admit that I was confused by it, mostly for the reasons he put up in the blog post. Now looking at the entire history of it, I can understand the decision to make it a pet project, but I think that he and the staff have made the right decision to bring the search for the name back into the fold of the game. Even if it means that we'll be waiting longer for content. Thank you and a happy holiday season to Alexis, everyone at FBG, and Mr Eaten!

New item release. It's the opt in item Alexis mentioned. Be sure to opt in if you are looking for a Bad End, delicious friends.

While I have Seeking 1 from the previous advent incident, I appear to be unable to find how to opt in or out. Huh.

It should just be a Must storylet that auto fires, but maybe you need SMEN higher than 1 to get it.

I WAS in the middle of a robbery when it was implemented. Perhaps that short-circuited it somehow? edited by MidnightVoyager on 12/13/2013

Nah, apparently it fires with SMEN 2.

I'm looking forward to starting SMEN again, possibly from scratch if that becomes an opportunity. With all these new lodgings coming out, I would feel bad not throwing them down a well. I fondly remember grinding all of the lodgings available just to destroy them. That included my salon too. I didn't even have many connections to lose. Just wanted to go for the biggest sacrifice available. Fun times.

[spoiler] The order of nuns that hunt the Vake did something to defeat the Masters, and this something was undone by the "feather-wearing heathens" of the third city. We know Veils betrayed Eaten. We know Eaten hates "Vake-the-betrayer". We know the Bazaar owes it to one of its servants the joy of its hunt and the sound of its voice. I propose the Veils, the Vake, lost its freedom to hunt due to the second city and regained that power by betraying Eaten. Perhaps the Vake was something else before it was a Master and that is why it alone hunts. Perhaps all the Masters lost the power to hunt and only Veils can because of the betrayal.
Remember how you drown yourself with beer? And Wines tells you of the sour beer of the second city? How Mutton Islanders decorate the well with jugs of sour beer? How Eaten rose to the top of the well where the priest would "only take a little"? I think Eaten was drowned in the second city and eaten in the third.
We also know that Candles had some power over dreams and perhaps Parabola.
I also think there might be a connection between the Wax wind that rends flesh and consumes and Mr. Candles. Especially after all the times you end up stuffing your mouth full of wax during the Eaten quest. [/spoiler]

I've been browsing the journals of my fellow-Londoners, and I must say this comes with heavy SPOILER warnings. It appears to be exclusive content and I'm not all sure what the policy on that is. With that in mind: http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Tercelle~von~Gerthart?fromEchoId=2203492
I may be more confused than when I started.
