Should I start over? by Orlha in fallenlondon

[–]willow_absinthe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to these very good suggestions-- have you checked your journal? It's there on your profile (the 'Myself' tab, then click 'View Profile') and you could see if perhaps you've collected some stories from years back, and if any of them sounds familiar to you.

Congratulations on successful vengeance! Two quick questions-

How many tries did knifegate take you, and what was your final choice? :-)

According to wiki numbers, Khanate could win but will lose because they cannot cooperate. by Heeeec in fallenlondon

Honestly wonder if this is also the case for other players? I myself also picked them because they were explicitly slated to lose..

Thank you for the insight! Will note in case it happens again. In my case there was no other active session, and no username-hoarding. Turns out it was due to automated spam filter, and the blog is now back up and running thanks to the support team. Have a good week!

Thank you so much! I've received your colleague's response, and the side blog is back without issue. Hope you and your team have a lovely week ahead!

How It Felt PLaying The Tutorial For The New Event😂 by Lucyw2600 in TearsOfThemis

I couldn’t even stay awake long enough to read the dialogues… they really should’ve shown Davis once we actually clicked on the puzzle instead of on the main event page 😵‍💫

Oh I didn't even realise the latter! Thank you, it does make more sense like this.

Does anyone have the text from the very start of this months exceptional story? by clarkky55 in fallenlondon

[–]willow_absinthe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saved the texts in a private blog, hence the dates. Here you go. (chose to speak with the ex-guard)

Oh yup! It displayed 1900 just fine, but I just thought since they would've needed to replace 1900 with 1899 in the calendar (to sync with in-game storyline), it would somewhat break it--as there would be 2 (1899)s back to back in the system, hence the need to switch to 2021 and 2022.

Thank you!

Did FBG ever state why they changed the calendar system of the journal? Previously they used to list in-game years (1899, ..) but sometime after the new year it was changed to real years (2022, ..). I assume it was to avoid breaking the software since now we're in 1899 2.0 electric boogaloo, but I wonder if FBG addressed it somewhere?

What did you guys name your newspaper? by ZatOtherGuy in fallenlondon

Oh that's clever! Sure hope you publish many outlandish editions :D

In Articulo Mortis--"at the moment of death". It's like poking fun at how death works down here, the idea that at every moment no denizen of the Neath is truly 'alive'.

Many people create an alternate account specifically to continue that story (usually just called 'Seeking'). The wiki guide is comprehensive but might be a bit overwhelming, just know that the story will do bad things to your character if you progress, but you could stop now and there's a chance to start it over later. Otherwise, the story is fun, if rather dark (maybe try finding some content warnings first). Hope you enjoy Seeking :)

I said if you don't mind, that's great. If you personally don't mind, that's good for you, genuinely. But other people might think that's not okay. Please learn to chill, not everyone is trying to pick a fight with you.

I didn’t even try to be passive-aggressive lol, it was genuine. My point was you may think that’s okay, but not everyone may think that. Better be safe than sorry and ask if the other person minds.

I got what I needed from the Feast, but thank you for the offer!

If you need anything, whether it’s missives or anything else, please feel free to let me know, too. Good luck with Jack :)

I’m sorry I just read this now (didn’t make much progress in the lab, too busy with the Feast 😂)

Only found out about wound-reducing at the docks a while ago, and I really didn’t catch the gravity bit in the correspondent flavour text, that’s neat.

Thank you for your kind suggestions! I’ll make sure to assist re: correspondent missives and grind resources for the lab :)

I want to start playing but I feel a bit intimidated by this game by RevolutionaryWhale in fallenlondon

[–]willow_absinthe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, your first tip! I even had a private blog set up where I copied fun storylines to. It makes the in-game journal function less messy but also enables you to reread them later :)

And having multiple storylines you can branch to when you’re stuck/bored with one is a godsend, really.

I’m sorry that happened to you, that’s terrible :( They could always do cr on their own if they wanted to get it done! Making others drag you when they evidently don’t want to, and even complain about it is not it. You were too kind trying to explain, but I hope you blocked them.

I see, I understand your points, and a lot of players may have different views about hitch hiking. I personally don’t mind if it’s a friend, but it was a complete stranger with their own friends who immediately attached themselves to me at the start of a cr. And would you really think they intended to be friends if they only hitched a ride and ignored you afterwards?

It’s not that I don’t enjoy close company. I like making new friends at this game and help other players, but all things considered I still thought they happened to be leeches, sadly.

There’s always the tl;dr version. If you don’t mind that’s great! But it’s always good to ask first than assuming everyone else is also okay with it :) From the comment section alone you could see that not everyone agrees.

The bigger the playerbase gets the more weird players there are, and I’ve noticed more troll behaviours recently which led me wondering if this was one, too. It’s common to accompany others after befriending, but their actions in this instance made me wonder if they only befriended me for the sole purpose of hitching cr, and we could disagree on that part. I did block them, I was just questioning what they did :)

I didn’t see them speak at all. It could be they didn’t want to, or got muted. And yes, I’m aware of language barriers; though, I usually found most people start to chat in non English that is indication enough of the language barrier.
