And then, in totally trivial annoyances that don't at all matter:

I appear to be the only one of my friends who's still playing Echo Bazaar. Which is fine. But I think that, in order to make more progress in one of the storylines I'm involved in, I need an item which is only gainable by a rare result on an interaction that someone else has to start -- and it's an interaction which the other person only has a rare chance of having a chance of, anyway.

See, to make progress in the "Seeking Mr Eaten's Name" storyline, I need to have a "Starveling Cat". Getting a Starveling Cat is something that can, rarely, happen when you open "A Boxed Cat?"

You get "A Boxed Cat?" when a friend of yours gets the "Pass The Cat: An Unusual Game" card, plays it, and chooses you as the person to mail the thing to.

So, in order to make progress, I need to have a friend get one particular card, choose to play it and choose me to play it on, get the rarest result after that. And I don't yet know if I only need that to be done once, or if I'm going to need that to happen SEVEN times.
