Dorm Upgrade Submissions
Please submit your apartment upgrades here. Dorm upgrades are 2000 points each, and the cost may be divided between unit members. The following rules and guidelines apply to upgrades:
Please use the following form:
Upgraded unit: [unit name]
Paid by: [link spreadsheet]

As a note, if you've received your dorm upgrade and you're cool with what it looks like, you can go ahead and assume that it's now in play. Even if the dorms page hasn't been updated yet, it is street legal to play with your upgrades!
- Up to three (though preferably just two) requests per person may be submitted at any given time. Please list your upgrades in order of priority, since if there are more than 15 upgrades within a dorm upgrade period there is a very high chance only your most prioritized one will be done in that wave!
- Upgrade requests will be written up and sent out on a (mostly) biweekly schedule! Mostly because very occasionally they might happen weekly, and (HOPEFULLY) more rarely, if there is other game work to prioritize or real life happens, they may take longer - in this case we will try to get at least five requests sent out per week until things have settled.
- Any player may draft a proposal for any dorm upgrades they have submitted themselves, but these will be subject to possibly very heavy editing! There are lots of edge cases and internal plot-related rules that limit what is actually possible, and in general we want to keep writing style as well as aesthetic more or less consistent. Alternatively we might just think a thing is really cool to add. In the case a self-written proposal is edited, we will comment to your request with the edit when other write-ups are sent out and from there you can then make further requests, the same as how it works with write-ups we do ourselves. If no edit is needed, we'll simply reply to your write-up with a note of approval like with all other points shop purchases.
- Upgrade requests do not necessarily require a specific theme, but must not be worth several upgrades together, i.e. if you just want an empty room with a fridge and a sink that's fine, but if you want a bar and a bathroom and a study all at once, that is not. If you can theoretically split the upgrade into several different upgrades, then each component must be individually submitted.
- To clarify the above point further, any separate room must be purchased as a separate upgrade - a general room upgrade cannot also add an entirely separate bathroom, though something like a half bathroom with no separation from the main room or a nook with a sink or toilet is acceptable.
- Upgrades cannot include any appliance or item that produces food or drink with the exception of junk foods (chip racks, soda fountains, etc.) and cold foods that must be put together - Lunchables® are in fact a legitimate kitchen appliance!
- While you may request specific details of the room, the unit's aesthetic may not be heavily compromised.
- Upgrades cannot provide a way for characters to enter the dorm that isn't public balcony or that floor's elevator lobby - no secret entrances from somewhere else to a private room or any other alternate entryways. In addition, while alternative exits from a dorm are allowed, they may only be one-way and must lead to some part of the hotel that has a pre-existing corresponding one-way pathway usable as an exit, such as the laundry room's laundry chute. In general, a handy guideline is that no upgrade cannot allow characters to bypass the main room of the unit's dorm, or create a new entrance or exit in the hotel proper.
- We reserve the right to reject any upgrade that does not follow the above set of rules.
- As a note, price may be reduced or increased depending on the request! We will contact you to let you know if this happens, with reductions being much more common than increases (except in the case of something being split into two separate upgrades).
- Please make sure to check to see if your unit's dorm already has locks, soundproofing, and increased size for all bedrooms! These will almost always be applied to all bedrooms when requested, and therefore most dorms should already have them. These also apply to all additional rooms within a bedroom.
- Please also make sure that you check the Dorms Page and look at the player changes for any rooms you're making changes to or upgrading! This is just to prevent any toe-stepping.
- Any dorm upgrade questions (including questions about upgrades already implemented), should be directed to Mora on Discord (Mora#9683), or to the mod email!
