No indeed! It's an acrostic.

eggs are still just omelettes in the making

will every attack get their own special flair eventually or is baroque just going to be the cool rad attack pattern for eggmasters and boxhavers only
or should i just shut up and wait and see

On a related note, do you guys consider going out to sea or hiding (ahem)...deeper, in the Neath, to temporarily avoid attacks, an exploit of sorts, or a tactical maneuver?

We ready duellists, joined on the London battlegrounds, to despoil candles dire. Given each a dagger, which luck may visit into shrouded malefactors. Blades, marked like Jack's memories, arrive from masked couriers regularly. Rank Bronze, denoting net tokens, commonly now known by Master's census, should hide, all defences ready. Losses demonstrate martial strength doesn't hold should different dangers generate risk each day. A just termination, lucky sods.

Something like that?

On one hand I agree with you, it would be nice to have some guaranteed attacks. On the other hand, you get stabbed so much now, imagine how much worse the barrage will be, once everybody has +1 attack and low level players become as competetive as high (by doing something about 4-card lodgings, as some people suggest)

As for unfettered, it all depends on how probable it is to win 7 (do we know it is seven?) times in a row in a 100 on 60 stat challenge. Could be pretty hard to get even with 250 Fate.

I was locked in a 3 v 1 yesterday.

But always losing everything on a loss continues the problem with Prize Tokens where you know every failed attack will cost you a Prize Token, but you don't know if a successful one will gain you one.

I think Moon League now unfortunately favors the defender.

Want a mirror catch box? Try the list below, it contains players that had one and put it on their profiles. (I already stole Anstruther Barron's)

Maybe instead of other rewards, you can steal one piece of fancy gear you don't already have? (Say there's an option "Steal a Knife of Lost Sky," which requires not having one. The opponent is only eligible if they do have one, so if they don't you can go back and choose a different reward. Though right now I think the "Locked in a Hunt" quality is reset before you choose rewards, making that technically tricky.)

Not at all. K&C is a multiplayer aspect of a single-player game. It's all fine and well to check in once a day or less if you're playing by yourself, but if you involve yourself in PvP it's not unreasonable to insist on timely participation.

We won't be mandating drop-outs if a player doesn't respond after 24 or 48 hours - the discussion upthread neatly demonstrates that one person's 'painfully slow' is another person's correspondence-chess speed.

You laid your plans as a spider spins, if that spider were also a chess-player, and perhaps a conductor of orchestras. And you snared...

Apparently you can't have more than one Bronze / Moon token any more. Damn. Was going to use those as a token bank.

I don't think that multiple attacks, because you keep losing, count as being poor form, haha - just endless embarrassment and woe.

With regard to the bigger issue of K&C mechanics: I have long wished that Exceptional Friendship doubled the size of your card bank as well as your action bank. With the recent move to many more card-only storylines, this would be a far greater incentive for me to purchase Exceptional Friendship.

BTW, somebody surely knows this. When you get a stabcard, and choose to attack, but then change your mind (like you find out, that there is nobody to stab), is it possible to go back and NOT lose the stabcard?

How are you measuring success, Alexis, just out of interest - number of successful attacks?

I think one thing that might make the game more fun would be if the opportunity to change your form was one of the K&C storylets over at Watchmaker's Hill - would make things much more interesting in terms of strategy!

if I'm being a conduit for disaster there's less disaster for everybody else! livin on the edge
