The logo is a butterfly (shape), just like the butterflies flying around the lobby. 
Googling ‘Himmapan’ - apparently it’s a “mythical forest”. Like if it were a hotel in South America and it’d be called (the) ‘El Dorado Hotel’.

I am going to put on my nerd glasses and say it would be more like calling it Brocéliande Forest Hotel if it were in England since El Dorado was supposed to be a city (technically it was a man then a city then a kingdom and then a vast empire)

Ah, right. Guess I put too much emphasis on the “mythical” aspect than the place/setting.

I mean maybe there is a version where the forest is gold that has been lost to time or destroyed by the Spanish. Either way El Dorado is a myth that is used by shitty History Channel productions for ratings and by people who want an excuse to steal sacred artefacts they find in the jungle.
EDIT: Found one, La Canela or The Valley of Cinnamon which was created by the Spanish as an excuse to further send people to America to brutalise the Native Americans for resources (which they did, it helped develop Ecuador). The pursuit of this elusive and spicy valley led to the first European navigation of the Amazon from a rough source to its delta

The (Himmapan) hotel’s architecture design was also inspired by the “Praya Palazzo” and “Grand Royal Palace” in Bangkok 
just an interesting trivia 
(and also early/placeholder name for Himmapan was “Praya Cosmopolitane”)

But do they have… Elevators?

Don’t think they do

Today I learned the hard way that The Iconator is a proximity explosive device. I’d never used it before because I always thought it was just the same as Napoleon Blownaparte. Today I decided to try it out and was fooling around on everyone’s favorite ET The Revolutionary and I blew myself up with it.

The Beldingford tennis court has no “doubles alley”. This means they can only play in singles. The court surface also appears to be… gravel or dirt? They really don’t know their tennis.
For reference this is what a regular court looks like.

Well, we are talking about the folks who invented Criquet.

I couldn’t be sure, but I thought I had seen a singles only court once or twice in my life. A quick google search shows they do indeed exist and at least one person doesn’t care for them

Haha. They do definitely exist, I’m not saying that. Last year’s Next Gen ATP Finals were even played on a court like that.
It’s just funny to me that these rich and powerful assholes can’t even be bothered to have a proper surface for it, let alone include a doubles alley.

In featured contracts, the restrictions are either secondary or mandatory (“insta-fail”). However, I discovered that the description of the restrictions reflects the optional state or not:
When the restrictions are mandatory, “immediately fail” or “must” are used:
PS: even though it’s not described, victims of accident or poisoning are not included. These bodies can be found without failing the contract.
When complications are optional, it’s rather “avoid” or “may”:

Map: Santa Fortuna
Mission: FC - Happy Hippo Party
You must kill Rico Delgado by KO him and throw his body into the hippo’s pond if you want to respect the contract’s conditions:
If you push Rico (and have the cinematics), the kill isn’t consider as accident and the body is not hidden, despite being eaten by the hippo.

In Haven, if you trigger the server meltdown and take out one of the targets before they arrive, all the other two will do is grumble about how slow the 3rd one is, and never solve the issue because it requires all 3 of them to log in or whatever.
After a while, they just leave and the server stays in meltdown mode without any real effects on the rest of the map or the target routes. They also have no special lines for this situation.
Man, whenever I think of testing something novel to myself in WOA, I’m always disappointed 
. Most of the cool stuff has been found already.
Same thing with the documents in AHBOS where if you take them from Mendola before the meeting, he just refuses to go at all instead of maybe going to the deal and only then realizing he doesn’t have the documents.

It’s funny bc IOI thinks of everything, but not every thing has a cool fall back or even some of them have no fall back at all. I spent so much time trying to get Mendolla into the party at the cafe VIP area lol. He just won’t go

It’s so damn interesting that in Mendoza there are special lines for taking out both Yates and Vidal, which requires painful amounts of Hitman shenanigans, before talking to Diana but then you have seemingly obvious scenarios that you’d think IOI would immediately notice but then just nothing happens when you trigger them.
I remember taking out Zoe Washington before getting Sophia to have her little showdown with the Constant about the chip to see if the sisters’ phone call would proceed as usual with one of them dead. Again, to my great disappointment, once Sophia was done with Edwards, she called her dead sister and proceeded to have quite a lengthy conversation with her.
Ugh.

so huh there’s one creepy ass ad on youtube right now. But most importantly, take a closer look to the backgrounds in the ad 
@Travis_IOI the legal team probably needs to see this
comparison in case it’s taken down:
They literally just put some crappy filter over screenshots of the game
