I've only played two options on this card and I love it already. Yes, let's try to mold an ephemeral being into our own (preferred) image, knowing full well they won't stay with us forever (and we'd only damage ourselves trying to keep them)! That's not metaphorical of _anything_, no indeedy.

Unfortunately there is no Ambition: Enigma option with the Noman, where you just baffle it with meta references and solipsism.

Surely you mean "nomanclature".

It's 1 cp for Ambition, 2 for Hedonist, and 3 for Subtle, by the way.

Certainly my view of the Arty Purpose is up in the air again.
My new theory is that letting Noman's Friend get to 0 leads to it finding a Noman Cafe and living happily ever after.

So when you hit 0 Friend, you'll get a storylet. You can indeed then feed Tears to your Noman by going to the Myself tab, but do NOT sleepily hit "wait with a bucket," thinking "gosh, did I get a bucket of snow somehow and am going to feed it to him when he needs it?"
Because this will instead give you a bucket as he melts and remove all your Noman Knows, so even if you preserve his life a little longer, you've still gone from 14+ Noman Knows to 0.
Moral of the story: don't do things when you just woke up.

Fhoenix you can delete messages. I find it useful sometimes for getting back to information like when you last got Time the Healer.

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.

(insert standard "if only Exceptional Friendship also doubled your deck" wist here) +1. Not because I'm a spoilt brat (though plainly I am), but because I increasingly find it's cards, not actions, which are holding me back from progressing storylines. I actually stopped renewing EF a few months ago for exactly that reason.

I hazarded a test, and it does seem as though you can raise the quality above 100. Used up a Tear on it, but now I've got it up to 117.

I welcome most social actions, so feel free to send them to me. Just please don't ask me to Loiter Suspiciously or to help with the Affluent Photographer. I have disavowed all knowledge of her.

Yes, thats pretty much the long and short of it. My Noman is Nomore, and that was the only reward of the whole business.
rip
Though it was probably worth it both as an experience and as a reward. I didn't use any Tears on it, though.

That's really too bad. I was hoping that there might be a 'Parson Brown' option for the player-spouses [as in the song? 'In the winter, we can build a snowman and pretend that he is Parson Brown; he'll say "Are you married?" we'll say "Noman! But you can do the job..." ']

Alexis: is this card a play on the 1732 engraving, "A Harlot's Progress"?

I love it. I'm gonna be so sad when my Noman melts away into slush.

If anybody manages to say goodbye to their Noman via the card, I think we'd all like to know the result.

It should actually be one of the most common cards in your deck- it's Abundant frequency. But, well, we all know what the RNG is like.
I lost 35 bits of Noman's Friend when Time came- I've got about a third of the Noman Knows needed for the Sense of an Ending bit on the card. It's a pyramidal quality and gains seem to be slightly random, between 1 and 4CP or so. Maybe just 3CP.

3. Can we be sure there are no jacks who survived past the normal time? 1. I think there is Neath-snow which isn't lacre. After all, it's an "unusual pail of so-called snow", and I believe the description says it's somehow different from the norm.
2 & 3. In a fictional world, anything is possible. For example, Doctor Who has wiped out the daleks about 500 times - and they still just keep coming back again.
