Sorry, you'll have to wait around 6 minutes.

Wow, hitting the Ambition limit really saps a lot of the inertia out of playing this game.

I basically haven't even loaded the page in 2 weeks.

Conviction

Just wanted to let you all that on one hand, I'm annoyed that I'm now a part of Twitter, but on the other hand, this seems to be a really intriguing game.

Look for me under the name Everblight.

They need to at least have the ambition go as far as the current level cap.

Conviction

If anyone is up for a nice game of chess? I made the mistake of buying some Fourth City Rags, and now I'm in danger of seeing the Cheery Gentleman.

AnteCantelope

Does anyone know whether getting to 5 in suspicion, wounds, etc. makes you lose your recurring dreams, or is that just nightmares?

Is there ANY benefit to clicking on the Cheery Gentleman? It seems like it would be an easy thing to avoid after the first time.

Conviction

There might be a benefit that hasn't been added yet.

Wearingglasses

It could be a shortcut if you want to go mad fast.

Fuga

so some kinda update happened? low risk is now colored blue, there's a "modest" chance. hey maybe straightforward is unfailable now.

Throwing my twitter hat in the ring: Funkygibbing

Just started it and have 'A troubled conversation about dusty stones' to burn

Mike Danger

Hit my ambition limit.

Wearingglasses

Alright, who's still very active here (as of March25, 2010)? Let's see some show of hands so people would know who's likely to respond to friend counseling / chess / dinner etc.

Dizzen

I still log on about once or twice a day.
My twitter link, for easy following

I play regularly/extremely actively, but, I'm on my way home from Iraq AND have to wait until I get a room/get internet installed, so I'm about a week out from playing regularly again

Caveman Paws

I'm always up for (your pick here). Shadowy 30+ = you find cool items all the time that make nightmares no big thang.

Paradiso

I'm still here and am generally willing to participate in shenanigans. Just stop trying to tell me about your blood-curdling dreams. I can't take it anymore.

skettios

I started playing! Twitter is in my sig

JohnDoe

Anyone have a list of items which should be sold? That is, they're not used in an events?

alset85

I'm also on all the time but recently I log in late in the day when the lag is horrendous so I don't get to do much.

skettios

I'm focusing on Watchful / Dangerous. Ambition: Bag a Legend! What about those of you who are still playing?

Was hanging out in Dangerous zone for awhile, but got tired of the missions, soooo now I'm over in the Watchful area. Pretty interesting over here.

Shifty_Calhoun

Does anyone know how to get to the shuttered palace?

You need a whole lot of booze. 400x 1882, 1000x 1879, go to your lodgings and choose 'open a way to other parts of the city'.

I'm still playing regularly, but I do not guarantee I will listen to your nightmares.

My Ambition's the Card Game.... of DOOM. Haven't finished it yet though, I was busy seducing a curator's "sister".

Did anybody pick the Avenge a Loved one Ambition at all?

I considered it, but chose to beat up things instead (Bag a Legend)

Don't hurry through it. It ends incredibly abruptly. Just have fun with the side missions. Because once you hit the end of the ambition, you won't really find yourself getting as excited about the game.

Yes. It's been slow work for me thus far.

I've found some of the other side stories, as well as entering Knife & Candle, to be fun. No, it's not as good as pursuing the ambition, but it's still reasonably entertaining.

Shifty_Calhoun

Im still playing this. I decided to reset my ambition from 'to bag a legend' over to 'nemesis'.

Is anybody else here doing that ambition? I cant find any more quests at nemesis 9.

Wearingglasses

To the gentlemen searching for The Game, have you gone to the Circus yet? It seems the trail continues there.

They expand the Ambitions now and again, and there are some excellent side-stories to explore, such as becoming a Scholar of the Correspondence, the Dreams, the Eater-of-Chains, and so forth.

Speaking of expanded ambitions... does anyone have Persuasive/Shadowy over 70 and want some work on the side? I can repay you with... limited player interactions? A voucher for some future service? I could also, alternatively, listen to your horror stories, clear your name of scandal, or stockpile any kind of Second Chance items you wish.

LCC

I've just started and am open for all sorts of interactions (watchful/dangerous mostly).

The Twitter is EBLCC.

Hope to hear from you !

Iron Weasel

I use 10 or twenty actions a day, so feel free to add my Persuasive/Watchful dude:

@Tanith6227

Corpekata

Anyone still playing this? They just added a new free area to collect some quests, though largely for me it's just filled my opportunity deck with almost impossible skill check cards.

Would like to see some of the "multiplayer" aspects, I'm @Corpekata

Kristmas Kthulhu

I recently got back into this. It turns out that it isn't terribly difficult to get enough free Fate to become an Exceptional Friend. At least for one month, anyway.

I'm going to add Corpekata and Iron Weasel, I'm @Witchalok.

Corpekata

I just sent you some nightmares.


I love that I just typed that.

Kristmas Kthulhu

Wonderful. I thrive on sleepless nights, hunted by the voices in the back of my mind.

Tomorrow, you must come over for tea. And perhaps a game of chess.

beta.lyrae

This looks like a nice change of pace. I'm in.
