Is anyone really close to the Masters?


  • I suppose pets probably do consider themselves close their owners.

    Currently, these options are available for the Constables, the Docks, Hell, the Church, and the Tomb-Colonies. The other factions will be added very soon.

    It's also useful for RPing purposes.

    And you can now become close to the Bohemians too. That's all for now, folks.

    Sorry about the message being hard to read. I think it happens when I accidentally click on the post button twice. And thanks for the info Chris? Any chance some other factions will become availble? coughcoughTHEMASTERSOFTHEBAZAARcoughcough

    Contributing to the general atmosphere of enjoyment: Hubris just allied himself with Society, and was particularly amused by the off-hand mention of the chambers having been aired and dusted, and the servants scrubbed and polished.

    The option to reject or become closest to the Revolutionaries, Criminals, Urchins, Great Game and Society are now available on their respective cards.

    Which I only did because, at the time, Master's Blood was a unique item only available that way. Not so much now.
    It's probably still the better option, unless of course you have 175 Wine Cellars and (I think) 41 copies of the Presumptuous Little Opportunity card lying around.

    If anyone has desecrated the hidden Shrine to St. Joshua I'd like to hear about the results.

    I did. Nothing too crazy; its location varies and is hinted at through a series of graffiti due to the irrigo robe used in the shrine. You go to it, splatter some paint over it, and graffiti some secrets that try to turn the Game in to a War.


  • By the way, Chris/Alexis/other devs, I followed the option to become Closest To: Hell and while it worked fine, the results text displaying quality changes had a mistake; it showed 'you are no longer tied to any faction' rather than 'you are now closest to hell'.

    There seems to be a weird "problem" with the option to become Connected To Bohemians. Unlike all the others, you cannot see it if you are connected to anyone.

    Right? I'd give my Masters' Blood to be closest to them!

    Since I'm actively trying to tank my Connected: Revolutionaries to buy a Spire-Emporium, and am currently Closest To the Revolutionaries, this sounds like a godsend. Now if I can only get their Connected card ...

    Ooh, thank you. This has been a very nice bit of content update. Good for lore and roleplay if a bit expensive. Its nice just to have the choice to be able to change your mind about what faction you like as you progress in the content and learn more about who everyone really is and what goals they have and how those match up with your own. Because this closest to is one of those things you get very early on, normally, and the player doesn't really know what they are getting into when they are new. Informed decision and choice is always a plus.

    Breaking up with the criminals is heart-breaking.

    I would like to go ahead and applaud Failbetter for the writing in these new storylets. From what I've seen, they're all familiar yet interesting takes on the factions, and there's enough variety and cleverness among them that they remain distinct mechanical and story identities. These storylets have become one of my favorite groups of words in FL alongside the Relickers, the Cheesemonger, and the Fidgeting Writer.

    I'm still confused as to why dumping the GG costs 5 Uncovered Identities. though, especially when that's the only one I need to use.
