The Curse of Kowhai Mall - MICHIGAN MAIN THREAD - Completed

[Morning Tweet]

If I were to throw the grenade at someone, how would that combat resolve? Same question for trying to shoot someone with the tranquilizer.

Also, the armed guard is on my side, right?

'Kingpin', huh.. hope he doesn't have any minions in our group...

Does the three people in the helicopter include me? So in other words, can I take 2 or 3 people with me in the heli?

[Morning Tweet]

Also, if someone else kills Kingpin, do I lose due to not getting my revenge, or does it succeed so long as someone kills him?

[Morning Tweet]

Oh, one of the others may be Kingpin. It's a codename. That will make this a whole lot trickier.

[Morning Tweet]

Kingpin is a "him", interesting

The grenade would override any fight, and it will either damage or kill the person. They will still get given time to react in case they have abilities or items that might in someway nullify the grenade.

The tranquiliser works the same, but it will knock them out if successful. They will still be given time to react in case they have a means of avoiding it, deflecting it etc.

If someone else kills Kingpin for you, you will receive a variation to your goal. It could be something as simple as going an buying a celebratory drink, or finding his body to prove he is dead. Etc. This will change according to what happens and how it happens (Not much point in getting you to find the body, if somehow its been sent 5,000 years into the past (Not saying that could happen, I just wanted a stupidly extreme example :) ))

Yes, Kingpin is a code name.

I see, i see thank you!

Does the three people in the helicopter include me? So in other words, can I take 2 or 3 people with me in the heli?

This includes you. You can take up to 2 other people in the helicopter. You don't have to take your hired guard, who is on the roof, though he may tender his resignation afterwards :D

Lmao okay good to know.

Who to trust, who to trust

Can actions be taken in a way that other players who visit the room are not informed that I did it? For example, if I wanted to leave a written note behind in a room -- would there be a way to do this that doesn't reveal I am the one who left the note to all those who visit afterwards?

Really cool game by the looks of it by the way, hope I can do Michigan justice

Phase 2 Visit Trip Up Travel Agency

Can I explore the bookstand right now or do I need to stay in the checkered area?

Phase 2 Visit Trip Up Travel Agency

Can I explore the bookstand right now or do I need to stay in the checkered area?

Visit Travel Agency; second choice needful antiques

I think I found the answer -- I need to stay in the checkered area (eatery) for now.

[Morning Tweet]

I see, I see. So each phase creates a new thread besides the Eatery. Just need to watch for CCTV.

[Morning Tweet]

The pamphlet on Pentagrams suggests that if you need to deal with ghosts or demons in a hurry, arrange five items that are identical in a pentagonal shape, and draw red lines connecting the items. It suggest if you stand in the pentagram, you can order the spirits to leave you alone, or depart. It suggests if you get the spirit to stand in the pentagram, you will destroy it.

I'll definitely... keep that in mind.

I also make a mental note to call 555-3939 if I find red or blue crystals hanging around. Cash is just a little tight.

[Morning Tweet]

Is it possible to whisper a single sentence to another player, rather than set up an entire private thread? For example, if I wanted to say,

Private: Charlie

I lower my voice.

"If you're ever having trouble leaving this place, maybe you could let me know. I might be able to help get you out of a jam."

Would setting up a private thread be the only way?

[Morning Tweet]

I see! Fair enough.

Start private conversation with Charlie

[Morning Tweet]

Phase 2 visit antiques; second choice travel agency

[Morning Tweet]

Can I use the helicopter without having my goals achieved? Additionally, if I do have my other goals achieved, can the helicopter still be used to assist someone else?

[Morning Tweet]

Alrighty, thank you!

[Morning Tweet]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Morning Tweet]

^w^

[Morning Tweet]

:sweat:

[Morning Tweet]

I'll have plenty to pay em back after I recover what's mine!

[Morning Tweet]

By the way, how is my pacing? A little too fast? I know it is a good idea to not rush things so everyone else gets a chance to examine whatever they'd like. I also don't want to put a ton of unnecessary work on you.

I just am thoroughly enjoying myself!!

[Morning Tweet]

Set it to 555-7777

[Morning Tweet]

Call 555-3939 and inquire about how much they would pay for crystals, and how quickly can they come

[Morning Tweet]

"I have some red and I have some blue. They're kinda.... small?"

[Morning Tweet]

"My apologies, I am not much of a crystal connoisseur myself."

[Morning Tweet]

Set crystal down carefully on the floor

Take photo and send to contact

[Morning Tweet]

"That is an acceptable price. I'm more or less trapped in the Kowhai mall right now. Long story. Anyway, I'd be willing to give you a discount if you can come and pick it up at this location sometime tonight."

[Morning Tweet]

Bunch up the napkin and stuff it around the crystal in my pocket

I think as long as I don't start performing gymnastics I should be okay.

[Morning Tweet]

Gotta protect the goods!!

[Morning Tweet]

Am I supposed to be in the service desk?

[Morning Tweet]

You have now left the service desk, that was nearly 100 moves by people all at once then.... THat was chaotic :D

Nicely done! I can only imagine what it's like trying to keep up with this.

[Morning Tweet]

I have completely forgotten what it is that I'm doing.

[Morning Tweet]

kingpin... antique vendor...... don't get shot up by gang members... something like that.

At least I have this crystal.

[Morning Tweet]

So I've told van helsing over there about my mission. I felt it might be a good idea since I don't think he's Kingpin and we might have the same or similar enemies. Will have to see.

I have moderately good relations with Charlie and Matthew, I hope. But not full disclosure ones.

[Morning Tweet]

Thought this place would be a lot shadier. Perhaps I'll try the laundromat next.

While I'm here, I'll grab a train ticket. Who knows whether the opportunity to buy one will stay open. Even if I'm not leaving via train, could help someome. Or buy someone with it.

[Morning Tweet]

Oh

[Morning Tweet]

I have been snapped

[Morning Tweet]

Wasn't paranoid enough! I was deeply worried about gangsters and an underground group of criminals. Didn't pay enough mind to the supernatural, unfortunately.

[Morning Tweet]

That's alright though, maybe it's a good thing, I have really limited time now due to something IRL.

Thank you so much for having me!

[Morning Tweet]

I wanted to make sure it was in good condition for Ash!!!

[Morning Tweet]

Things are not as they seem in Kowhai malllll

[Morning Tweet]

Hahahaha damn that would have been handy. Guess I should have thought more about why you were paying so much for a crappy plastic crystal. I wasn't thinking deep enough, I never considered the supernatural at all!

Which is ironic considering I was convinced vampires exist

[Morning Tweet]

Also the travel agency had a really interesting design, i did not see any of that coming.

It was really pleasant to have all that mystery, I just needed to be more observational and cautious. I was too concerned with getting on people's good sides so Kingpin wouldn't suspect I'm out for him -- as well as collecting random stuff.

[Morning Tweet]

Ehehehe I hope i can be avenged
