Pancito,

i've got up to 8 on my Bag A Legend, as well as a few items you don't have, my hat, and my half tame mandrake.

Let me know if you want me to message/email you the info/avatars so we can update the wiki Razz

Also, on connections, I haven't seen The Great Game Razz

Ummm buy a Sulky Bat. This is probably the easiest connected to run up early in the game.

I decided to start tweeting (@staxxington) about my exploits in Fallen London in character, my 'character' being an absinthe-soaked dandy bohemian gentleman about town. Certainly adds an enjoyable extra element to the game, rather than just clicking on cards and storylets.

Does interacting with the in-game characters on Twitter affect anything in-game (IE do the devs adjust yr stats / give you items etc)?

NEW BOOZE ALERT!

I tweeted this to Mr Wines an hour ago:
Quote:
Staxxington

Dear @Mr_Wines, do you perchance have stock of the GREEN FAERIE'S nectar, a bottle or three of ABSINTHE. Plannin' a BOHEME party this eve.


And received this in reply just now:
Quote:
Mr_Wines

@Staxxington Do we have absinthe? You timing is to be commended. Your enquiry is nothing less than entirely auspicious.


Looks like Absinthe is soon to be on the menu, kids!

Quote:
Delicious children! We have a new liquid wonder! We have been commissioned to make a special something for a client... But the client has agreed to have a case distributed to our most discerning customers, free of charge! The item in question is Black Wings Absinthe. It was made to a very specific requirement, so we can make few guarantees as to its taste, properties or even safety. However, if you are feeling brave, delicious children, we will have some soon. We shall distribute this new wonder in two hours from now. We cannot take orders before then. We shall return!


Was this just amzing timing on my part, or did the devs respond to my tweet by inventing a new ingame item? I LOVE THIS GAME.

Looks like they will be ginving out crates of Black Wing Absinthe to delicious customers over Twitter at about 6pm GMT. Get in there!

So, what experiences did we all have with the absinthe? I shared mine with Lex and apparently we went out prowling the night in black cloaks. Fortunately no one mistook either of us for the Vake, or we might have been in real trouble...

Lol, I drank my bottle alone, and was mistaken by some journalists for the Vake.

I asked for extra and received 2 bottles. I drank one alone and was mistaken for the vake and ended up in exile. the other I have offered to share with the parrot, but he has yet to take me up on it.

I deemed to share my bottle with a transient diplomat's daughter over a game of chess at my lodgings. The evening started innocently enough, her pet monkey beat me at chess, then the absinthe was uncorked and all hell broke lose. Last thing I remember was us running through the street of Veilgarden at midnight, naked apart from a black cloak and hiding from the Constables behind a brothel.

Woke up with a massive headache, a 'shadowy' feeling, and the diplomat's daughter's address smeared on my chest in rouge.

Awesome night. Where can I get some more Black Wing Absinthe?

Just curious, was everyone who consumed the full bottle accused of being the Vake? Anyone not? Something else? I was in LB Road and was. Just wondering if it was location dependent, since the blurb mentions your location.

I think so - I consumed the whole lot and ended up with horrific scandal and sent into exile. Bloody journalists.

Brigit was kind enough to share some of her absinthe with me. By the way, Thank You Brig! Next round's on me. To the best of my recollection, I wasn't mistaken for the Vake; I wasn't hounded by journalists; I did not have a run in with the local constabulary; I was not sent into exile.

However, I do vaguely remember Brig and I "prowling" around in black cloaks (nice Shadowy boost). I don't remember doing anything to deserve the scandal of 2 I now have, but the very next day I received "Flowers from a Devil" (I kid you not!!! Flowers...from the freakin' devil!!!). I don't know what happened and I don't think I want to know. All of that was just plain weird; but, here's the REALLY freaky part. The part that's crazier than Jack-of-Smiles; crazier than being "Marked by the Eater-of-Chains"; even crazier than the Ambassador's balls (No lie! Keep clicking the "Tell Me Another Thing" sidebar, there's a whole article dedicated to the topic. "Who is the Ambassador?" indeed!)

Anyway, I think the creators of EB have gone too far in their quest to bring us new content as evidenced by the disturbing full-sized tattoo that I now have permanently etched on my chest and the chilling new story arc I received:


WARNING THE FOLLOWING IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART:




Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked





Marked by El Rey 1
Your flesh festers with the visage of the man they call "El Rey", legendary Latin Jazz-and-Mambo-King, Tito Puente.



NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!

(Maybe I'll just lay off the hooch for a while....)

Cheers
