FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS + PREMISE Dear Guest, Welcome to Hotel Inferior. Whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, we know you have a choice and are honored that you have selected our establishment. We are committed to providing you with the level of service that you are accustomed to. During your visit we invite you to enjoy the following: internet access, room service, dining services, air conditioning and heating, the fitness center, laundry, the pool, vending and ice machines, and impeccable customer service. We thank you for choosing Hotel Inferior. Sincerely, General Manager Brief and to the point, though not very elegant, this letter is given to all standard guests of Hotel Inferior. They are treated with respect during their stay. However, you are not the standard guest. You are staff. Your letter, found in your pocket, comes with an additional set of rules; specific and meant to be followed with the utmost care. 1. While on the premises, no fighting with or killing other staff. 2. No disrespectful words or actions allowed against Hotel staff. 3. No guns or any type of weapon permitted through the gate. 4. Membership must be paid for, full and in advance. 5. Prior but lapsed members will not be admitted. 6. No photography or video allowed. 7. No outside food or drink. 8. Absolutely no visitors. 9. If a member is found to have compromise the Hotel, membership will be revoked. 10. Hotel rules are final and non-negotiable. Characters wake in the lobby of Hotel Inferior where they will ride an elevator to the 13th floor, the only button that will work, and go through a wrist-chip scan. Payment has somehow previously been made. Admittance into Hotel Inferior's 13th floor comes after accepting the rules. They'll be given their new identity, key, position, and are shown to their permanent, private room. A lovely night's rest and then it begins. Hotel Inferior is a panfandom thriller game that focuses on isolation and builds on the uneasy feeling of suspense. The game will touch on psychological thriller and horror, mystery, revenge, captivity, obsession, and mind games with no mod added slice of life characteristics. ( There are a few grammar and spelling errors in the rules but they're there for a reason. Anywhere else is our fault and we'll fix any that we catch! ) + WHERE IS MY CHARACTER? Your character is in Anonymous City at the ever popular Hotel Inferior. Boasting numerous services, ranging from therapy and relaxation to protection and identity exchange arrangements, the staff here are always accommodating. The Hotel's 13th floor is reserved for staff only with no guests allowed. Those visits between guest and staff must take place in the guest's room. Inferior's success is based solely on their ability to follow their own rules while offering guests what they require. + DO THEY KNOW WHY THEY'RE HERE? Characters are told that they have been brought to the Hotel for a reason that had been stated in their prearranged payment and contract terms. Each character's reason for needing to come to the Hotel must be decided by the player and will be on the application. All characters will lack the memory of this previous exchange but the reason for their stay will be something that the character knows to be true. Some examples, though there are many, could be the following: The character paid and stated that they would come to Hotel Inferior if they were dying, sick with no cure, injured, being hunted, scared, lost in life, looking for a change, asylum, or peace and quiet, and a fresh start. After a year, characters are allowed to reevaluate the parameters of their terms. + HOTEL TERMS As mentioned above, characters have no memory of paying for or agreeing to the Hotel Terms. The fees are paid in advance and a background check is taken out on the character. These terms are something that the character needs or is making preparations for that the Hotel can provide. Asylum, medical services, a place to lay low, relaxation, etc. The Hotel is providing them a service that they paid for even if they don't remember doing so. Players can be very creative with what the terms would have stated but it's not an exchange of 'character agrees to come if the Hotel does this for them in return'. The Hotel is merely providing what the contract stipulated. + CAN THEY LEAVE Not unless management has arranged it. Characters can't exit through any of the doors or windows. The hotel is locked down with the highest measures of security. + STAFF Each character is given a name and position when they arrive. The name will be from this list and assigned during the application process. It will be on a nameplate over their room door and on their name tag. Characters are required to go by their new name on all network posts and in face to face interactions with other characters; they're allowed to privately disclose their name but not publicly. The position will be one of these and will be assigned based on need during applications. All staff are expected to follow the rules at all times. All 13th floor staff work the night shift. + UNIFORM Characters are allowed to choose any of these five uniforms to wear during their shifts. They are given three sets and expected to keep them cleaned. Personal clothing and items can be obtained through the in hotel store after characters have received their first automatic paycheck deposit. + TECH AND THE NETWORK In each character's room is a device on the table beside their bed. Every character gets one. If it is lost or broken they'll no longer have access to the network. This network is only used by staff. No guest or management will be able to use or see it. Characters can post anything they like as part of their Hotel terms state complete and private access to communication between fellow staff members. Text, audio, video, picture, attachments, games, and more are standard functions. + EVENTS AND PLOT Each month the mods will post one event. It will incorporate plot that focuses on 'the event' which will be in the first log when the game opens. Every mod log after will build on that event. Events and plot are mainly isolation that builds on the uneasy feeling of suspense. The game will touch on psychological thriller and horror, mystery, revenge, captivity, obsession, and mind games with no mod added slice of life characteristics. Players are allowed to use the hotel setting to run their own plots and after the first round of app acceptances, can begin posting to the comms as soon as they are accepted into the game. We won't do the typical intro post. Staff come and go at different times with no welcome party. + TEST DRIVE MEME All test drive memes are bi-monthly. Please check the calendar! + APPLICATIONS More information on the application procedure is here. Please read carefully. + CHARACTER DEATHS Character deaths are simple but come at a cost. If your character dies they are in medical for three days or one week. Three days if the character dies during a mod log and one week if they die during something the player chose to place them in outside modly events. They are always painful and each character will bear the scars of what killed them. + APPABLE CHARACTERS Canon, original, CRAU, canon AUs, and malleable protagonists. + NUMBER OF CHARACTERS Up to three per player. + NEW CANONS Each canon must be two weeks or older to be appable and to be used for a canon update. + HUMANIZATION Characters do not need to be humanized or altered in any way to come in except in the instance that they could not physically fit in a typical building. Shrink them down and then they can be apped! + SEX AND PREGNANCY There may be situations that come up that promote sexual encounters so NSFW material is possible. Please mark your logs and posts for content if it does. All characters are given birth control so there is no pregnancy. Characters that are pregnant in canon may be apped in but they will not be pregnant when they arrive. No babies in Hotel Inferior. + CHARACTER AND PLAYER AGES All characters must be over sixteen years old and players must be eighteen and above. + CAST AND GAME CAPS We are playing this by ear. If we feel a cap needs to be in place we will do that. We want there to be a good amount and mix of characters but not so many that it wouldn't make sense in the hotel setting. + DROPS If a character is dropped, either willingly or through a sweep, the character's room will be emptied, belongings trashed, and a temporary notice placed on their door. It will state: Character's Alternate Name has broken one of Hotel Inferior's Rules and are no longer welcome. Please heed the rules. + HIATUSES Hiatuses can be one of two ways. The character is on auto-pilot through work shifts or they can be in medical for a reason decided by the player. + CANON UPDATES Canon updates are instantaneous with no shift in time. The character will blink and have the new memories. Please post the update information to the feedback page; character, canon, dates, info. + OUR COMMS Network: inferiornet Logs: inferiorlogs OOC: inferiorooc Mods: inferiormods + IS 18+ ALLOWED It is! Mark for anything but we do allow it in game. + MEMORY LOSS There may be events with memory loss and the terms part of the setting utilizes that, but generally it will not be a factor. + POWERS AND NERFS Characters are nerfed of any power that is game breaking and any that puts them in the position of a God. Ask us if you're not sure! + MOD TIME SCHEDULE The Mods run on EST and PST during the evenings. We'll put the times on the calendar! + IC TIME SCHEDULE The game runs on a 1:1 ratio. + ACTIVITY CHECK Activity goes up at the beginning of the month. For new characters, the first month is check-in. Every month after will require two proofs of activity. - Five log comments from your character - Ten network comments from your character - Ten personal inbox comments from your character - An open post; network, log, or mod log top-level - TDM threads may be used for one proof. Threads must be started during the month of the activity check or one month before. For example, if the activity check is for March then the threads may come from February or March. Strikes can be taken but the player must respond to the Activity Check to let the mods know they're taking one.
