I laughed so hard when I saw that.

Hmm... interesting. I'm bored and, quite frankly, have little else to do right now. While waiting for actions, I'm starting to collect a bunch of the questions and answers that they have on the sidebar.

So you get an adventure action every... 7 minutes or so, up to a maximum of 10? (Whoops, wrong game there Razz)

Hah! So I'm not the only one who sometimes accidentally calls them adventures! Yeah, it's one every 7 minutes, or one every 28 minutes if you're exhausted (i.e. the "actions left today" counter hits 0). It's also one Opportunity card to your draw deck every 7 minutes, even when exhausted.

Agent Lex, Greyfields 1879 is a mushroom wine Razz

Quick question to everyone out there - any idea what we're supposed to do with what's written on the Mysteries page?

Okay, so here's the first bunch of descriptions and stuff I copied down, in case it's of any use to anyone.

Well, Hotwing didn't get rummm, but did get a bottle o' Grayfields 1868 First Growth. "A vintage often reserved for the intimates and proteges of Mr. Wines," Shocked
Ah! Reduces Nightmare.

I could use that. I'm currently at Nightmares 6.
I don't dare to dream anymore...

But, but, but... You just started. Chess game social gets you insights, which unlock the confess your fears.

I've seen some bizarre and horrible things...

But you are right. I should talk with someone about it.
A parrot seems appropriate...



BTW should I get a weasel or a bat?

Bat gives you connected with 'Great Game.' Not sure about the weasel, though I did see a weasel fight card.

OK I only started this yesterday, but what are nightmares? I haven't seemed to come across them yet and from the sounds of it I would like to avoid them if I can.

If your Nightmare level gets too high, you are whisked off to an entirely different location. I quite enjoy it, myself. Smile

Is it just me or could this game really use a wiki? I have a devil of a time remembering where I can get various items and what they might be useful for down the road.

Who Is RB?

This is the banner in "A state of some confusion" or whatever it's called when your Nightmares are above 8.

My question is: Who, or What, is RB?

I like this area as well, but I think it would be better to go with higher skill levels.

Plus it should be said, that you sometimes lose skill levels while you do things there.

EDIT: oh yeah, I forgot to say: they did change the voice in the well opportunity card to unlock with peckishness. what i got was a vision of a granite city. i tried to echo it, but i think it lost it because i had twittered just before. it cost no skills, but it also gave me no levels in anything....

Wiki would be nice, but it'd be a bitch to populate. Many hands approach would work. The other issue is that knowledge would flow towards less experienced players. In ARGs we share to such an extent that anyone can come up with useful stuff at any time. There's no way someone fresh out of New Newgate can really help someone who has just gained access to Wolfstack Docks (Hi Lex). But there's still just a ton of stuff... For instance, anyone could populate card info and such. A lot of the fun here is discovering stuff, but I could probably refrain from looking myself. Maybe. IDK. Who's interested?

Question: Is there a difference in where you live, other than the number of cards you can hold? For instance Flop House and Bookstore both allow three cards, but going strictly by what the commodities would cost to buy, FH=8 Echos, while BS=12. Any peripheral bonuses or is it a role playing / money absorbing tool?
