timmae brings up a good point. I don't see any reason to believe that sleeping in a room constitutes searching it. We're only allowed one search per day so I think these are separate things. So, revised lists...

As of post #150
Rooms not searched:
103-107, 110-116, 118, 119, 121-125, 201-219

Rooms untouched:
104, 110-116, 118, 119, 121-125, 201, 203, 205, 207, 209, 211-219

Thanks Telle! Let's track it this way until we have evidence supporting another theory.

Anyone learn anything or know something based on last night or any searches that you think we can openly discuss? We'll need to start piecing things together soon. The baddies could have hit the lotto and secured a bunch of stuff by now. Heck, we don't even know how many there are. If they found a whiskey bottle I'll be po'd.

I can't confirm whether Nane was in my room or not. I didn't receive any information either way.

Maybe the wizards/witches put portal spells on the doors. I joke. Kind of. Anyone use some Harry Potter spells yet?! Don't answer that.

I haven't gotten anything from Render about my overnight. The first night when I stayed awake he sent me a great little write-up about how much britrock snores :) But maybe that's only because I stayed awake? Then I later got one about Nane coming in and rummaging through the room.

Did anyone who slept the first night and didn't have any specific disturbances from the outside get a PM about their night experience?

I haven't seen any bathrooms, we may need to do that spell that makes our s&#@ vanish.

I did not, neither when I slept, or when I stayed awake. Either Brit's snoring is very important to the game, or Render realized writing custom nighttime PMs to every player was a bad idea ;-) (Having run games like that, I am quite certain it's the latter!)

I searched 118 today. Got a message that nothing was there but the room was obviously ransacked already. Someone searched it but isn't telling.

Probably just held onto the whiskey... another night of searching I guess. Maybe someone has died but we won't find the body for a few days. Like a standard motel6.

Anybody else having a tough time figuring out strategy for this game? I feel like I'm just wandering around aimlessly checking out rooms waiting for something to happen. And because of the weird rule set, there's not even much dialogue between us all.

Me and my shot glass are having fun! My guess is that a couple of us are having fun, or will be soon. As items are gound there will be more and more involvement. Those os us that have no items, or just a simple shot glass, are left waiting for something to happen. There is always tracking what people do and hypothesizing theories for down time. ;)

Darn typos from phone... gonna be offline until around midnight. Good luck on everyone's room assignments!

Btw, if anyone finds a bottle of tequila then I want to borrow that shot glass :)

So dug through my spreadsheet and found some things of note.

Nane has been quite active, but is the only person who has been and hasn't mentioned their Day 1 search.

Crimson Fox checked in on Day 2, made some jokes, and then completely disappeared.

bhlloy checked in first thing Day 1, said he was busy, came back around 1:30am Day 2, and has since been gone. In my opinion, he does seem to be genuinely busy.

Chief Rum didn't check in until Day 2. In my opinion, this does not seem to be intentional. And once he was contacted he jumped in immediately and got active.

Searching and sleeping are SEPERATE ACTIONS.

This room has been thoroughly torn apart. its obvious someone was looking for something here.

Nothing out of the ordinary in room 106

I was the one that searched room 220. After deadline last night I sent Render a PM for me to search that room after I woke up and then go hang out in the hallway to see what watch the people coming and go. I was told that I found "nothing of interest". Haven't heard anything about the people-watching yet :/

As I had no mechanic for this the following rule will take effect immedately:


Players may ASK another player to allow themselves to be searched.

A player may allow this, whereupon anything they are carrying will be made public.

A player may decline this.

If all room entries can be seen, how do we not see soneone entering a room they have PM'd to search?

My guess is that for the ease of the moderator, he's decided that we're all in other rooms when anyone else is in the hallway going between rooms. That's why I asked specifically to be in the hallway all day.

not all room searches are public, some are pmed to me, unless specifically told (or obvious situation mandates it) you may not see every movement from room to room.

searched 207 found nothing

I searched room 201, and found nothing.

Both searches of my rooms, I have not received any room descriptions other than I "searched the room and found nothing."

Has anyone received descriptions of what their rooms look like, or what's in them?

Nane, if you plan on rooming together tonight, are you able to stay awake so I can sleep? I guess I will sleep in room 214.

i walk to room 214

I have not.

from kantai731:

I searched room 119 and found nothing of note

alright

I will be staying awake in room 214

I THINK this is right, but I'm getting a headache double/tripple checking. As of post #179

I will be staying awake in room 119

So either we're really unlucky or people are keeping things to themselves. I swear though, if someone is hiding the tequila, we're gonna have some words!

We may have just picked all the wrong rooms. Statistically, it could happen. Or maybe all the items are hiding somewhere under the invisiblity cloak, lol

I'm a little dubious of the strategy of simply entering rooms and not turning them over in search of items.

Nothing in 116.

who searched 120 before I did? That has been glazed over. Someone is up to no good.

They had to find something. If not, why stay silent.

What did you find there Telle?

I'm not suggesting we do it instead of searching. But if we're able to enter multiple rooms during the day, doesn't seem like it would hurt. Why have the mechanic if it can't help?

yet again a room is rummaged through from top to bottom with nothing new to show.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i'm asleep in my room

send up room service

come on lucky 7


125 was a bust btw
but nice and comfy

a shot glass???

hmmm maybe if we pool our points... we can buy a stuffed animal or vampire teeth
