But only sometimes and I can’t figure out what makes him decide for and against following through. Maybe how much of his question he gets to ask before you run past him? Even then, sometimes he asks all of it and I still see behind me and others he barely gets out “hey, maid-man” then goes back to playing pool, so… Don’t know

Submitter name: IlikeHitman
Contract Title: A tour of sloth
Briefing:
Brief Description:
Thematically,the targets in this contract are slothful because they are static(the key is finding how to make them move) and they delay the tour by wasting time in different ways:Corvo goes to smoke in the asado area,the chief winemaker uses the harvest of the Malbec as an excuse(even though when he goes into the grapes field he waits for someone else to come and bring him some grapes while he does nothing) and Cortazar…stares at the walls in the fermentation room…?
Gameplaywise,all of the targets(especially Corvo Black and Cortazar) are surrounded by a lot of NPCs,so isolating them could be tricky.The most obvious solution would be to use emetics(because after one of the latest patches,all 3 targets go to a toilet after being poisoned),but I don’t think that would be the best soultion.
Why?
Unless you want to make a lot of effort running around the map to get the fishing line**(which is near the boat exit)** and/or the remote cx demo block**(from the security checkpoint near the winery viewpoint)**,the loadout is forced to be fiber wire+injected poison+explosive device.This means that the only emetic tool you can bring is a sieker,but I doubt that it will be easy for most of the players to find a good spot to take some shots.
So,the contract doesn’t stop anyone from acquiring the fiber wire/remote explosive from the map(to bring an emetic grenade in the loadout instead) and doesn’t stop anyone to find a good spot to take some seiker shots(and I can confirm that there is at least one spot),but it balances all of these options and makes(or at least I hope it makes) the intended solution shine more.
The intended method
All of the targets are static(it’s the season of sloth,right?),but the interesting part is that proximity-triggered dialogues and certain actions can make the targets start to move,creating opportunities to isolate them.
Here is a list with all of the ways I have found to make the targets move(excluding normal AI manipulation like coins,emetics etc.):
1.The conversation between Corvo and Cortazar:makes Corvo go upstairs in the asado area,makes Cortazar go downstairs in the fermentation room and makes the chief winemaker go in the grapes field
2.Yates’ phone conversation with the chief winemaker:makes Mr.Vargas go in the grapes field and makes Corvo come downstairs for the tour
3.Killing the chief winemaker:makes Corvo come downstairs for the tour
4.Starting the tour:makes Cortazar go downstairs in the barrel room
Speedrunners should have fun manipulating the routes of the targets with these proximity-triggered dialogues and in combination with some standard AI manipulation like emetics,coins etc. they should be able to find a fast method to complete the contract.(My best time during testing was around 2:50.)
This contract should also appeal to roleplayers because they have the option to participate in the tour disguised as one of the targets,but instead of killing Tamara,they will have to kill the chief winemaker/Corvo Black this time and at the end of the tour the head of security in the barrel room.Alternatively,they could also try to get some of the weapons needed for the kill methods from the map and bring an emetic grenade in the loadout like I have already mentioned a little earlier.
SO fans can also play the contract suit only if they want.

Title: Wine Duty
Briefing: Doing virtually nothing all day is such hard work. Sometimes I like to enjoy a nice glass of wine after a hard day’s work. 47, could you pick me up a bottle of wine while you’re there? Some pesky guards are in your way. I’m sure you can deal with them. Oh, and clean up when you are done. No one likes a mess. See you soon. Cheers!
Brief Description: This is the same as my other contract, Accidental Guard Duty except that for this contract there are fewer complications; those being SONIKO and that all bodies must be hidden.
It fits the Sloth theme in that by starting at the shrine, your smuggled item is right there, also, there is a propane flask as well if needed. The targets a close by and practically in the same place. Even the exit can be close if you choose to leave by car. Thanks.

Contract Title: One lazy shot
Briefing:
Welcome back, initiate.
As you’ve been already informed, ICA is looking for a new laziness liquidator. You were one of the chosen ones. Your responsibilities include the elimination of lazy workers, in a short period of time, using the equipment issued by the ICA. You have only one chance, to prove us, that you are suitable for us, and have nothing to do with sloth. However, if you are too lazy for this job, beware of falling cells over your head.
Good luck and good hunting!
Brief Description:
In the contract, you need to kill two targets that are located on different buildings. The contract may seem impossible, since you can drop the cage on the second target only by shooting at the object, but if you think a little or experiment a little, you will understand that this is possible, to make it easier there is a hint in the contract picture. Then there is a spoiler for the passage of the contract: in order to kill the second target, you need to shoot through the body of the first target so that the game does not count the hit on the winch, but this is a rather difficult puzzle, but it seems to me very interesting. Everything you need to pass is available at the location itself. The plot, though written by the second creator, fits the contract well enough and funny.

Briefing: As you know, working for minimum wage every day isn’t the most pleasing thing, however, that isn’t really an excuse to try and get away from work now and then. That’s why 2 managers from downtown Chongqing have asked us to put these ‘sloths’ down. Time to teach them a lesson by putting them to permanent sleep.
Brief Description: You need to eliminate 3 targets who are all slacking from their jobs. They are quite close to one another at first, but eventually, they get further away from each other.

I apologize… I have no submission for Sloth…
I have been outspokenly harsh towards IOI and don’t believe they would consider anything of mine for selection even though, to my core, I am a fan.
The fault lies with me. My deadly sin, truly, is Wrath…
In keeping with the spirit of “sinning” with all you fine assassins, I have a doozy brewing for Lust which I will then post on “fan made” contracts soon for your enjoyment. Like the songs I wrote and the music I produced years ago, the content will be inward reflection and my contract description will tell a part of my story metaphorically.
The XBox gang here are a clever bunch, and I respect you all🤘
I have played 16 of your creations for Sloth so far, and thoroughly enjoyed solving your puzzles to the best of my ability. I will comment on your contracts momentarily. I tip my cap to you all…

I should probably point out I played them all, just not as linuxpenguin#163. I won’t say who I am just in case people try to fr this person’s account.
Here’s the thoughts on a couple:
Not sure if it was first posted here, but @Crewdy ’s Bringing down the House was amazing. Loved the upstairs guard target.
I don’t remember the name, but I had alot of fun with @TheCasualHitman ’s Dubai fall contract. A suit start adds a lot to that one.
@Pootis.exe ’s Chongqing fibre wire contract was an absolute work of art, I hope this gets picked.
Thanks! you could always skip cameras entirely by starting down there and using the secret hatch, breaking the vent door with a screwdriver

Brief Description: All 5 targets, are located in the main entrance lobby of the map and can be seen from the start, all able to just be shot. OR you can go to the effort of killing them in Fall accidents in your suit to get the bonus (extra points)

Contract Title: In the Land of the Lotus-Eaters
Briefing: Odysseus sent three of his men into the land of the Loutus-Eaters. They were a friendly people but any who ate the lotus became listless and apathetic and lost and desire to return home.
Odysseus had to force his three men back to the ships. He hauled them under the rowing benches and tied them fast before setting sail.
Brief Description: A scene from Homer’s Odyssey that demonstrates the theme of sloth and I imagine was the inspiration for the Lotophage Suit since it’s the Greek work for lotus-eaters. The contracts represents the story with Mendoza with all its wine and grapes seeming an appropriate location. The 3 targets have to be hidden to represent Odysseus tying up his men. Sure, it doesn’t make sense that they’re being killed but we don’t have KO contracts yet so whatever. The 1 exit is the boat exit to represent Odysseus sailing away. it’s a suit only contract which is there to add a bit more difficulty and a good opportunity to wear the Lotophage suit. Although the targets aren’t right next to hiding spots, it isn’t crazy difficult to get them to the nearest one. The targets are also fairly spread out so a lot of the map is used.
Location: Mendoza
And Featured Contract Image suggestion: It would be cool to recreate W. Heath Robinson’s illustration of the episode with Hitman NPC’s, but that might be a bit difficult to do 
A shot off 47 in the Lotophage suit next the grapes would also work.

Contract Title: Health and Safety Violations
Briefing
The ICA data server facility was designed for quick setup and teardown as required. To do so, shortcuts were taken and management has decided to ignore warnings that worker lives are in danger with several health and safety issues around the facility. From faulty installation to inadequate procedures, the workers roll the dice each day as they go to work. All it takes is one fatality, but bad luck tends to happen in threes.
Brief Description
Staying true to the month of sloth, I left this to the last minute. I made the contract based around accidents by management being lazy and taking shortcuts to some unfortunate results.
As one is being lazy, why waste energy changing clothes, or knocking the targets out and dragging their bodies.
Image Suggestion
While not related to the targets or kill methods, I went with a different health and safety violation of poor housekeeping by not keeping your work area cleaning.

That’s awesome. Unfortunately I’ve been a bit lazy and doing the bare minimum in the game, so I haven’t taken a look at the Xbox contracts submitted. At least I’m keeping with this season’s sin of Sloth.
