Rule clarifications:
- Physical attack: Punch, push, slap. Melee weapons qualify. Projectiles do not. Must make contact, attempted attacks don't count. Stacks with other violence points.
- Kiss: Given or received
- Sex: Must be seen or heard.
- Repeat phrase from a previous loop: Must be unique to the character. Phrases such as "These violent delights..." or "It doesn't look like anything to me" do not count.
- Enters park: For multiple occurances within the same park, the character must be shown outside the park before they are eligible again. Ignores events from the previous season (i.e. Elsie would receive points if shown in Westworld despite the fact that it is presumed that she has been there since last season)
Disclaimers/FAQ
- Q: Are points awarded the same during past events and flashbacks/dreams?
- A: Yes - as long as the event is unique to the story as we know it. Multiple flashbacks to the same event do not stack.
- This caveat only pertains to flashbacks/memories. If we see a host repeat the same action as part of their "loop", that would still qualify.
- Q: What's the policy on adjusting points retroactively?
- A: The goal is to avoid this altogether, but we're expecting plenty of complex scenarios - so bear with us. For now, whatever happens on screen will be scored at face value.
- Example: If a character kills someone that is implied to be human, but later is revealed to return as a host, those points will stay the same. The character who had "died" would also keep the points for "permanently dying", since that was what we were led to believe at the time.
- Q: What do we do if we can't tell if it's "really them", and not a host version/clone instead?
- A: Think of it as if you are drafting the actor, not the character. Bernard/Arnold will be one in the same. William/MiB are not. Clementine is portrayed by two actresses, however only Angela Sarafyan's version is draftable.
- Q: What about CGI, like what we see with a younger Anthony Hopkins? Technically it's him and technically it's not...
- A: For those gray areas, it's tough to say. In this case, we'll count it.
- Q: In one of the trailers, we see multiple clones of Bernard in the same room - what about that?? What if they all get naked and drunk and attack each other at the same time??
- A: Oh man, at that point idk. If anything gets too out of hand we'll have to cap off points somehow to be fair - so just be mindful of that.
- Q: It's widely believed that Arnold killed himself through Dolores - instead of Dolores killing him on her own. How would you approach that?
- A: To keep it simple - it goes to whomever performs the action. So Dolores gets the points.
- Q: What about suicide?
- A: Same deal. They would receive points for the kill, plus points for dying if they are assumed to be human.
- Q: We've seen clips of hosts suddenly "deactivating" - would that count for anything?
- A: Nope.
- Q: Are the Misc point categories exclusive to their respective characters? What if a host from Westworld enters a different park?
- A: At this point, no. They are more like guidelines of things that humans or hosts are more likely to do. But if a host enters another park (behind the scenes doesn't count) or if Bernard speaks a command trigger, those would count.
- Q: When can we expect updates?
- A: Typically every Monday morning.
Examples from Season 1:
We see Male Wyatt killing hosts with Teddy in Escalante. Both receive points. Wyatt is later revealed to be Dolores. At that point, Dolores would not receive Wyatt’s accumulated points (until we later see her perform those actions herself).
If an event is retold multiple times (such as the aforementioned flashbacks to the massacre at Escalante), points would only be awarded for the singular event. Teddy would not receive points for killing the same people multiple times.
Dolores reveals that she had killed Arnold. That would not count (until we later see it happen).
We see Bernard and Theresa in bed together, implying they just had sex. This would qualify for points. However, if Bernard had simply said, "I just had sex wtih Theresa", it would not count.
If Bernard has a flashback of him killing Theresa, he would only receive points for the flashback. The death would not count since we've already seen it happen.
