Unless you're a watchful gent, in which case there's an opportunity card about a tree of ears that nets you 10 appallings a time. Ten! Probably not for long though as I have 'Too honest for my own good: 5' and reported it for the bug it most likely is.
Jam Warrior, you have ruined the secret money tree! RUINED.
It now gives 20x Whispered, 10x Cryptic, 1x Appalling.
Le sigh. I suppose it's a well-deserved balance issue. GJ Devs!

FUCK
I've had that in my hand for ages but haven't been able to use it because my watchful was too low. It's now up to 17, just three short, and apparently you've ruined it for me.
So, is there any current use for your "Personality" type qualities? For example, I've got Magnanimous 4. Is this for flavor purposes, or is it useful, or will it be useful in the future?
also, I'm usually up for chess & mutual confessions (lucedes).
Being a magnanimous fellow myself I'm also curious. I assume it will cause certain options to appear during storylets/cards but that is simply a guess.
Also Nightmare 6 means I still dare to leave the door to my room at the Smoky Flophouse open should anyone care to stop by and swap nightmares or enjoy an evening of social goodies of your choosing.
They unlock other Opportunity cards. For example, if you get Ruthless and Magnanimous up to 2, a card will appear with this scenario:
You hail a hansom cab and one pulls over, but you spot a little old lady going for it.
-Shove her out of the way (ruth+ mag-)
-Let her have the cab (ruth- mag+)
-Let her have it but pick her pocket (ruth+ mag+ subtle+)

You never woulda passed it at 20 anyways
I was at like 25 and it was still almost impossibles across the board iirc

Thanks for the headsup! I recently discovered F.F. Gebrandt's Superior Laudanum, Nightmares are now a mellow 4. Since I can't [yet] charge for listening to nightmares feel free to lighten your burden.

Trying this out, seems fun so far. Twitter = Feriluce
Boo! Reached the 'content boundary' on my ambition. Anyone know how often they update that end of things? Following the ambition was an excellent driving goal and seeing that message I could feel my enthusiasm for today's play drop a significant chunk.

I'm not sure, but you can spend 30 fate to reset your Ambition and try another one. Might want/need to put on a Ridiculous Hat to drop your stats for it.

I was wondering if anyone was farther than me in their ambition. What level did it end at? And I couldn't find your player name in the thread, either.
A more general point about upcoming content. We have arcs sketched out up until around 240 along each of the main tracks; we expect Ambitions to run up to about 150. All this is tentative and depends on player growth and enthusiasm. If we only manage a small hard-core of long-term players we'll end the arcs sooner; if we get a big long-term audience then we'll probably keep adding content until everyone's bored or dead. We do have some extreme ideas at the very top end that I think it's fair to say no-one has really ever done in a game, and I'm very, very keen for those to see the light of day.
Also noteworthy:
One last point on that. You've probably noticed that the cost of increasing a Quality is the next level: 38 to go from 37 to 38, 39 to go up one more level, and so forth. The thought of a grind that required 100 or 200 change points to increase a stat has long made me a little ill. A couple of weeks ago we decided to take a stand on this, and capped the cost of increasing qualities at 50: that is, it will cost you 50 to go from 49 to 50, 50 to go from 50 to 51, 50 to go from 159 to 160, and so forth. I *hope* we will gain in player enthusiasm more than we lose in Fate sales at high levels - but more than that, the goal with Echo Bazaar was always to build a casual but compelling storytelling experience, not a straightforward grind game. We'll be looking at more ways to approach that ideal in the months to come.

I passed the final test at Watchful 43 + 7.
JamWarrior is my twitter name.
I meant what level was the ambition? I ask because my ambition is at 22 and I'm facing challenges that are impossible for 55 Shadowy.

It comes in two parts, one at 9 and one at 4. Clearly your ambition is more developed than mine.
What music fits this game? I feel like I need to put together a soundtrack for Echo Bazaar, but I am terrible at [anything music related] so if someone can just make me a list that would be swell.

Whoever is @EzekialUnderway, help me out man. I've had a confession of fears on your for ages.
I am ttraider82
Also, @WitchDocDBM I sent you a conversation about dusty tomes. I think it is a good one for both of us. Help me out.
How do I even check that?
Also, with Nightmares 7, is it wise?
Go to your "home" page tab, it'll list requests (incidentally I have one with you, :P)
Also, fuck no is it a good idea with Nightmares 7
Buy a goldfish, that'll reduce Nightmares 1 (it's only 50 pennies), and for everyone's you take, send a request to listen to fears (it works out so everyone loses a significant amount of nightmares that way)
They warn you not to go over 5 but I haven't seen anything bad over 5 that happens, 8 however you go crazy and lose all progress in recurring dreams and that shit sucks
Also, Tiger_Burning please accept my offer for dusty stones talking, we'll both make a goodly amount of Cryptic sekrits
I thought that items that reduced Menace qualities just reduced the total, not the amount gained. Did that change?
No, it didn't, I mean if Optimus Zed accepts a listen to send a request to the person who sent the listen request for an overall reduction in nightmares for both parties

I've noticed a decrease in the effectiveness of laudanum, I think. I may simply have more nightmares than before, but... something changed, maybe?
In other news, I'm enjoying the carnival and some BONELESS WRITHING. EDUCATIONAL, you understand.
There are more 'change points' required for each level of a stat. F'rexample moving from Nightmare 1 to 2 takes two change points, but from level 5 to 6 requires six points. Thus Laudenum taken at higher nightmare levels may reduce your levels less, but it's still removing the same number of change points.
You know, two seemingly contradictory thoughts just entered my head.
1) I don't love the game enough to buy fate
2) I'd willingly donate a few bucks to help them buy another/faster server
So maybe I'll buy some Fate today.
Honestly, I think it's just that Fate seems superfluous. There isn't enough to do with it. If the carnival were only accessible by spending Fate, I'd probably consider it, but if it's going to be available this month for free, I'm patient enough to wait. It's also true that I almost hate having 10 actions available when it takes 30 seconds any time I click on something.
The "trade in souls" seems like the kind of thing that would cost 20 fate or so for it's rewards, although it seems like it's targeted towards lower level players. I'd love to see something similar targeted at level 30 and 50.
I agree...performance of the server is painful at this point. I guess opening the wallet might help, although yeah, I'm not particularly inspired to buy Fate.

But I still haven't caught my wife's killer!
Well, what is your twitter name?
Still, I'm happy they seem to at least be gaining a lot of players. Can only be a good thing in the long run.

holy fuck. I figured they'd cap out around the time we were hitting 60, with a typical "grind for cash for items" endgame.
Also noteworthy:
Their blog is just rather cool in general. Really enjoying the articles on narrative structure so far.
