【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.
Due to a high volume of check-ins, temporary accommodations have been made in our parking garage for all new arrivals. We aim to have all guests moved into their reserved rooms as soon as possible. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience!
All are invited to There Is No Tomorrow, a Phoenix Casino soiree to celebrate our beloved guests. The festivities will begin at 1800 hours on January 20th and end at 1800 hours on January 27th. Please look forward to 168 hours of delight.
In an effort to raise happiness and encourage better guest relationships, attendance is required. The house will assist guests that are too shy to appear of their own accord. Please note that black tie attire is mandatory. As always, we hope you enjoy your stay! 】
PARKING GARAGE
ANY CAR IN A STORM
PHOENIX CASINO HALL
WELCOME TO THE NEXT 168 HOURS
Phoenix Casino is a-flutter with activity and packed to the beak with guests. As a famously ever-changing space, the staff would be remiss if they didn't deck the crown jewel of the Golden Peacock out. The casino glitters from top to bottom, shining brighter than diamonds, rubies, sapphires, opals! Party-goers are shiny and glamorous with picture perfect makeup, fluttering gowns, and sharp suits. Card tables are packed and the slot machines are a-ringing as guests play, play, play! Prizes, luxury, booze, attractive people, it's the place that everyone wants to be at.
Those people being dragged inside by some invisible force...? Silly, they were so excited to come that their bodies moved before they realized what was happening. Those are struggles of joy and definitely not the casino's infamous ghost hands dragging unwilling guests to the party at the behest of the house. Look, they're literally hurling their bodies at the card tables with unrestrained glee!
All clocks indicating day hours and night hours have been removed from the casino. Once a guest has entered, their Watch will jam, making it impossible to keep track of the time. You don't need to worry about that tonight.
▶ All characters on the TDM are WILDCARDS, which means they have not yet been assigned a card value. Suits will not manifest until characters are accepted into the game.
▶ All TDMs are game canon. This TDM acts as the game's January event.
▶ Current characters may top level on the TDM. Any current characters posting to the TDM should note they are current in their subject header.
▶ The top level directory is for new characters only. We want to make sure new characters are prioritized and receive attention! If you would be interested in a game invitation, you can note that in your comment header. This month we also have an ongoing ATP / EMP where players can connect. Please feel free to utilize this for all of your peafowl needs!
▶ If you aren't satisfied with these prompts, please feel free to check out our LOCATIONS to explore more of the resort!
▶ Smut threads that take place on this TDM can be used for rewards. If both parties in the smut thread join the game, you may retroactively apply the character's initial card values to your 52 bank. If one character does not join the game the thread will not be applicable toward rewards (as that character would not have a card value). The character that does join would still receive a small payout for the encounter. Hopefully it was a fun thread regardless!
▶ We ask you to kindly add content warnings to your threads as appropriate.
▶ If you do not currently have permissions and kinks listed in your character’s journal we suggest leaving a note in your top level of any limits or boundaries for other players to reference.
The numbers are just a callback to the variable value of an ace in many card games! They do not have any other particular assignment associated with them; the assigned dynamic of dominant or submissive is the primary focus in the game.
Good question! They are props but high quality props. The gun comes with rubber bullets. The knife has an edge but is on the smaller side and easily snapped.
what might happen if a chara tries to drive a car or even try to hijack the biggest car they can find in the garage and crash it through a wall. potentially even multiple times? multiple walls, juust to try to find an exit. just. wondering.
Since the walls of the parking garage are concrete, the luxury vehicles housed within are ill-equipped to to break through them. Even the largest car will crumple well before any structural damage occurs, and the hotel security will be more than happy to try and accost any wreckage-causers to cover the cost of all repairs.
what happens if a character tries to like. kill the hotel security/NPCs... also i completely forgot if i missed this or if it's in the FAQ or something but are all NPCs/hotel staff ghosts, or some of them, or some are living/humanoid or...? like hypothetically if a chara might try to go on a slaughter spree how would they be captured/subdued and imprisoned or whatever, or what might happen?!
Hi there! We’ve answered a few FAQ questions on this subject before, but for ease we will give a compiled answer here.
Some of the resort NPCs and staff will look and feel as though they are living when interacted with, and even ghostly NPCs may have a satisfying crunch when flattened. The resort is flexible in its presentation to suit characters’ needs, so ultimately the sort of NPCs that Lappland is encountering on her joyrides is up to you.
As far as crimes and punishment go, there isn’t any heavy policing done by the resort itself; security will eventually track her down and put her in the Iron Net for a time, but prison is mostly a formality around here — a sexy, sexy formality. If Lappland’s destructive tendencies remain out of hand for too long, the house will generally intervene using suit-related punishments in order to swerve her appetite more towards what’s expected out of guests at the Peacock. In general, we would ask that you refrain from being too disruptive for an extended period of time out of courtesy for other players trying to use the setting, but otherwise indulging in a little Fun Murder is perfectly fine.
Do note that higher ranks also have more leeway in all of these areas, whereas lower ranks may find themselves locked down faster and given harsher sentences (for as much as such a thing exists). This is obviously a bit more for post-acceptance shenanigans, but we wanted to note it regardless!
Hey there! How many chips (if any) does a new character start with? Asking specifically because in House of Cards the loser's chips get transferred to the winner, and I'm trying to understand if that means my character could be left with a negative balance (😂) if he loses.
Hello! New arrivals are given a small stipend (around $250 USD) to start them off. They certainly could be left with a negative balance if Lady Luck isn’t kind to them in the casino!
Another question, please - for dirty dice, what happens when the rolling player is willing to do the action, but the other player is not willing to receive/have the action done to them?
That is up to you, the players! And ICly, the characters playing. The game managers will not interfere and the game itself has no consequences for either side turning down an action. Guidance is only to reach four completed actions.
Hi there! Given the age of this post, we do not plan on creating an overflow at this time. You are welcome to move threads into inboxes or open posts if you do not wish to deal with captcha.

Since the TDM hit captcha, is the mod team planning to make an overflow post?
