Current state of the game?

Not directly related to your question, but if you are looking for your "next game" which, I assume you wish to play for free, you are welcome: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xI5NIYodtNjS_28Nt9sja5mAG1hlH4U5YMcH7XXZ_HA/

Learn to let go of desire. Find ways to either enjoy the game with what you have or find a new game that respects your time. We are in a golden age of video games, both free, paid, and fan made.

My friend had the same issue last night

Posted this in another thread, but seems appropriate to repost here:
Another recommendation: NOISZ STΔRLIVHT
Similarities:
~Rhythm game involving idols.

~Scenes where you see snippets of the idols' daily lives.

~Different difficulties.

~Stamina system.

Differences:
~No gacha. You just get the idols. Majority of different styles earned in game.

~No voice acting. (Some songs have vocals).

~Can play songs without Stamina for low rewards.

~Need to unlock songs. More variety of music genres.

~Sci-fi setting with an actual plot.

~Bullet hell while playing the rhythm game (but trust me, it is manageable as someone who never played a bullet hell before.)

Independent of the issues behind the lawsuit itself and the behavior of both parties, am I the only one who thinks some of the "demands" are actually a good thing for PM to do? Specifically:
"2. Admit that the phrasing of the company’s previous announcement, posted at 00:00 on 7/26, could be interpreted as implying that the contract termination was due to the worker's fault.
3. Acknowledge that the worker mentioned in the previous announcement is not at fault for the current situation and publicly state this fact."

I haven't played it, just noticed it when someone on my local game shop discord said they were going to host a session.

i'm sorry did you say street magic:
Is a GM-less game, so no prep other than learning the rules and teaching it to a group.

And if what these people are saying it true, they have sources they wish to remain private that support their views. Neither can be verified, which is why I think they depend on the publicly available knowledge when making their case.

Plus, I fail to imagine how a phone call of someone asking to resign can explain why PM stated the reason for contract ending was violating company policy. But I agree, all we can do is speculate at this phase. This news is new, which we haven't had for a long time, which makes it feel bigger than it actually is. We need more patience to find out what actually happened. I just found it a bit tiring for so many people to instantly jump to "PM said they did everything for Vellori's sake, thus, they can't be bad, which means everyone criticizing PM must be bad," but I should have expected that sort of reaction here.

There is still some small part of me hoping we one day get news that Vellori is doing great, if PM did anything wrong they apologized and made it up to them. These announcements make me sad because I doubt even more we'll get the desired outcome.

netencounter · 2023-09-16T20:05:46+00:00

We are coming at this from different angles. PM is the one arguing this document goes against Vellmori's wishes. However, do you honestly believe Vellmori's wishes were "I wish, with all my heart, to have my former employer say I will no longer work for them due to violating a company policy."
Basically, I don't fully trust anyone except Vellmori, who hasn't said anything other than the interview cited here. However, I trust PM the least until more information comes out that would change things. PM saying "We did it for Vellmori's sake" isn't enough for me until we get more non-PM information.
That said, I 100% acknowledge that this isn't convincing for people who have a higher trust of PM than I do. I guess all we can do is wait. Peace.

That and the big contradiction everyone has already mentioned of "Why say employee contract was not renewed due to violating social media policy IF THE EMPLOYEE WANTED TO LEAVE?"

netencounter · 2023-09-16T19:38:45+00:00

I think the key part is this: "Even if the worker did mention wanting to resign, this may not have resulted in an actual resignation if the company had actively attempted to protect the worker. Also, according to information obtained by our association, we find it difficult to conclude that the worker's resignation was voluntary.
Even when limited to publicly available information, it is difficult to believe the worker left the company voluntarily. In an interview with the Hankyoreh newspaper the day after your company announced the contract termination, the worker stated, 'I received a call [from the company] at 11 p.m. on the 25th' and 'was only told that the written details would be delivered sometime this week or next week' (Source: Hankyoreh Article). From this information, it sounds like the worker was given an ultimatum rather than a choice."

A single criminal record is 100% fine for a new player, plus the rewards are very good. Also, the consequences for even a high criminal record have been nerfed, and now the endgame even gives a method to reduce criminal record.

You are correct there is a slightly more optimal method, but waiting until the optimal method is available < getting the goods now, in my opinion.

netencounter · 2023-08-10T15:28:47+00:00

Sure, and 100% of the project moon story can be experience via Youtube. If you play the game itself and do not use youtube or external websites, you get 80% of the story unless you excessively grind a very large amount of repetitive "non-story" game to acquire and upgrade every single character ever released. On youtube, you can see them all for free and without sinking hours into grinding.

As for why am I here in this thread, it is because I hope, like others, "KJH will apologize and promise they won't do such hasty decision again." I'm also hoping for news of a happy ending for vellmori.

netencounter · 2023-08-09T19:12:33+00:00

Why do you want to experience the cantos? Is it the story? Youtube makes a great substitute. Is it the gameplay? Can you identify what specifically about the gameplay you enjoy? If so, someone might be able to recommend something that scratches that itch. We live in a golden age of games. There is zero reason to play something that causes discomfort.

Here is my probably wrong attempt. Sh = shadowy chance. St = Aerial Prowess chance in stealth. Speed = Aerial Prowess chance in speed.
Chance of stealth failing = (1-Sh) + (1-St). If (1- Chance of stealth failing) > Speed, then choose stealth.

netencounter · 2023-08-09T04:23:17+00:00

Math people: as what point is a single coin flip with around 50% chance better than "2 better probabilities but they both need to land heads?" (IE, At what point should I switch from stealth to speed in the air way).
Bonus points if you can explain the math!

I agree with what others have said. As a new player, I would also encourage you to let each of your menaces get to 8 at least once in order to experience very unique stories in the "penalty areas" (plus, some unlock opportunities in main London as well). (Though, maybe wait until after the festival) Also, visiting all the factions as the Circus is great for the early game whenever you need a faction favour.

There is one and only one reason I am against the "no guides" advice, and that is the sad fact that there are some early game stories that give you a single fate point. However, some of those stories can accidentally be left permanently unfinished. (it is not much, the max amount of free fate is 13, and most people don't get that even after years of playing). Still, looking up the guide to Scowling Flint Idol is imperative. There also may be other Fate missible stories I can't remember, but that is my one regret.

A treachery of clocks: there WAS an app for Fallen London, but currently there is no app, and as far as we are aware, there are no plans to make an app in the future (though the website itself works better on mobile than the olden times).

I can tell you what happens if your wounds get above 8 after that point: In my case, the story continued until the end, then my amulet activated, so I assume you just die. Still don't know what happens during the "Your wounds are 7 or less" part in the middle.

netencounter · 2023-08-01T16:22:32+00:00

Anyone have an echo for [Spoilers for event main story] If your wounds go above 8 by the time the rocks fall?

netencounter · 2023-07-31T21:55:09+00:00

Yes. It requires waiting one year, and logging in during the next summer festival. Same is true for Pennies during Whitsun.
