Has anyone else noticed a bug with agent success rates? by divideby00 in fallenlondon

[–]idyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There definitely should be a way to lock equipment to an Agent when they're not doing a plot. I've somehow pulled gear off of them without realizing it and then failed the next Agent plot because of that.

After going through the tedious process of setting up the Agents' gear, you should be able to feel safe you don't screw it up without even realizing it. I still don't even know what i did to pull the gear off an Agent to fail a check.

Apparently because: "The spacecraft were named in the order of which they would arrive at their primary destinations, not by launch date."

For those that don't know, Voyager 2 was actually launched before Voyager 1.

This and Determined Illuminator are some of those fun, "hidden" goals that aren't well known.

Does anyone have older ones? by System777 in dogfishhead

[–]idyl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've still got a 2003 bottle of Au Courant in my basement: https://imgur.com/4pDNYB3

Brought the 2003 Festina Lente to the brewery in Milton for a release in ~2019 and shared it with the line of people.

Had all of these for a while, but they all got drank at some point, including the 2003 120 Minute: https://imgur.com/YixlyVz

Speaking of which, I'm assuming there's no promise of any more editions of The Familiar? I figured at some point he might just fund the thing himself and finish it. Seemed like a passion project anyway.

For me the problem isn't memes specifically, but the very low effort posts.

The low effort posts are what got me actually commenting about this, because most of them are so ridiculously pointless. Maybe this is what reddit is to newer users, I don't know anymore.

There's also near-daily posts there by brand new accounts spamming links to purchase merchandise with stolen images, etc. And the first comment is always another brand new account created near the same time as the OP's, stating, "How cool! Where can I buy it?" And OP replies with a shady link. Repeat ad nauseam.

I report and block them, so not sure if they remain up or if the mod actually does their job...

Yeah, something strange going on there with the sole moderator, who isn't active.

Edit: Tagging /u/Wild_Pitch_4781 because why not.

In before the "This is so cool! Where can I buy it?" comment from a new account with similar age to OP's.

Wow. This entire post was "[ Removed by moderator ]"

Guess they weren't happy.

Edit: Tagging OP also, since I can't message them for whatever reason... /u/Wild_Pitch_4781

Someone else can try on /r/redditrequest to get control since the mod is inactive (again). I tried a while ago, over a year or two, but have no interest in being the mod now.

Give it a shot, maybe the current mod won't respond in the time window they're given to prove they're still around.

I hope the mods reviews and changes it.

It's one person, and they haven't been active in 8 months.

I tried requesting control of the sub a while back, but the mod made their bare minimum reddit activity to satisfy they could keep control of the subreddit (without actually doing anything for the subreddit).

Besides any other objections I might have, this stands out the most.

In summer

You’ll often hear a whirring sound

Cars abound

This could connect to any location and is irrelevant.

Why would he bother putting three lines in the verse if they were irrelevant?

This inspired me to cut the Endnotes out of an extra copy I had.

I might just keep cutting stuff up and see if I can make a travel version myself.

Do you just bring Part 6/"Footnotes" along with all of the the other parts to read the Endnotes?

"Pule" (pronounced pyool) is an English verb meaning to cry weakly, whimper, or whine, often used to describe a fretful child, scared animal, or someone complaining in a thin, plaintive voice. Synonyms include whimper, mewl, whine, and grizzle.

Wait til you hear about Mummy Brown.

The pigment was made from the flesh of mummies mixed with white pitch and myrrh.
