I was reading the Constitution and noticed an interesting rule that I have a feeling would be used in some form or another

"With the exception of the Overseer, The gods of Olympus, their associates, Lady Hestia and Lord Hades are hereby forbidden from entering the Labyrinth without express invitation from the Master of the Realm."

Now... isn't that interesting, what if the MC decided to invite Hades to see Asterion?

...could this, if necessary, be used to create a kind of... Emergency Exit, to Hades? If for some reason the Hotel had to be evacuated but returning to the ordinary mortal world wasn't an option?

I'm not too sure, it feels weird to have this stated if it doesn't end up getting used, maybe it's an option in the future if the player has already read the constitution before the event, or if there is a mini game where you try to find a way to abuse the constitution to favour asterion as an insensitive the player to read the in-game lore

we had a discussion like that before. figured it could be a loophole for a god under disguise to be invited in without the master's knowledge of their identity, and Athena might've been able to infriltate the hotel like that.

especially with the internet, we could have a dominikos situation where the MC does invite that person, but would that count? the MC wouldn't know who it is properly so it isn't an express invitation to a god, just someone who needs a place to stay

yes, that's the loophole. it doesn't explain the conditions in which the master invitation takes effect. so if via message or if the master must know who they are inviting are possible exploits. there's also direct contact, they could persuade the master in to taking them in, through a bargain of sorts, deception or even an honest request if the master doesn't see the harm in it.

What if previous masters have already invited some of the Olympians? Would you be able to rescind the previous allowances, to get rid of other Olympians that might have been allowed into the labyrinth?...

I'd assume just as the pact between masters and Asterion becomes void after a masters death, so would the invite

only if they remained in the labyrinth for 80 years? while i suspect it could have happened with the previous master, which could also be the cause for it's downfall, i don't see them choosing to stay in the abandoned hotel for that long

we were told in the game what happened that caused the past masters downfall though, even though I think there is no distinct timeline where the past master was active before he flipped out, I have a feeling it would have been too short of a time for athena to get her hooks into him especially with the metal illness issues. I will say that when the master kicked everyone out I can make a logical guess that counts as invited gods too

but you see, that master was the brother of the previous one and living in the hotel before he inherited it. Athena could have been tampering with him before he became the master. 

also, it's easy to misdirect giving only a bit of the information. it's called paltering, you say something that's truthful but you don't tell the whole thing. in this scenario, what if his mental instability was a work of her?

was he living in the hotel? I don't remember reading that in the game, it might be in one the lore texts or I've forgotten

he was, though i don't remember where i got that information. still, the 2 of them were brothers, if you owned a magical hotel wouldn't you let your brother live in it with you?

considering his apparent mental state I have a feeling introducing a magical element to him would make things worse, but he probably was living there

(1 edit)

just thought I'd mention, I've played the game recently and it says in chapter 2 that; " One week later, the next master arrived" meaning he wasn't living there until a week after the death of his brother

well then, that means he would've been even easier to reach, if they know who the deed is going to go for and he wasn't  in the hotel at the time. granted this isn't very useful to consider, because by this logic pretty much any master could have been tampered with.
