Yup let’s be happy for eachother and complain about what’s actually worth complaining about, SE insisting on neighbourhoods instead of giving everyone instanced housing and again, OP posted at 3:50, at that time he couldn’t have known if he won or not, nothing to see through or sad.

Hm, don’t know if that means you can tell fortune or not, you sure can dance and twist around unnaturally though xD

Happy to report that finally, after multiple lotteries with no housing ( or almost no housing) , or seeing hundreds of bids on houses- I have my humble abode. I have small, which is all that I wanted, I wasn't even going to be extremely picky for a location, after having lost some prior lotteries, however this one is actually in a fairly nice spot.

So for those people who didn't win this time, my sympathies, and I hope that you do get a chance to win one.

What if I tell you fortune-telling isn't only limited to them? >,>

Ironically, I think like that's a stereotype tacked onto them that just sort of grew? Like, sure, they do have practices involving their own version of tarot cards, but tarot cards and cartomancy in generall are actually older than they are.

You have several cartomancy decks.
Tarot is the most popular, which grew in France and Italy. It started out as a normal game deck, but then grew to having symbols and meanings (wholly unrelated to the Romani population, though it's possible they did use it too).
The tarot has many versions, the two most popular ones being Rider-Waite, Marseille and the Thoth decks.
Then you have La Vera Sibilla, which is basically your average card deck but with specific images. Obviously something from Italy.
And you also have the Lenormand deck, which is in some countries erroneously called the Gypsy Deck. And it's its own thing made by a French bookseller.

Actual gypsy decks tend to vary in card numbers and are similar to the tarot and sibilla decks, but are specifically their own thing.

The were definitely more losers in the Empyreum launch. Only 360 houses were up for grabs to personal bidders. With over 10 bids per house on Balmung, that meant over 90% of bidders lost. This time, there were 1500 houses up for grabs. With the much larger number of houses this round, perhaps 50-60% of bidders lost.
