If you told me there’s a hotel where the guests stand a good chance of being murdered by Neil Gaiman, I would, indeed, consider that a “unique brand image and feature.” This could backfire.
The fact you know Neil is there, he interacts with the guests and only one or two a year die... I think you have a star attraction. Add a book shop across the way so he can also do some ninja signing, and I think everyone but 1 or 2 people a year win.
Listen it's probably the most interesting thing that's ever going to happen to me, so I am super ready. But like, after Good Omens season 3 drops, obviously.
Consider the Hilbert hotel from the old thought experiment. It has a countably infinite number of rooms. Even if there’s a zero percent chance of getting murdered by @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com in any given room, you can still have it be a certainty that he will murder a guest in *some* room.
My favourite part of this is your opening response. This is the response of a man with many phones and many friends gently fishing to triangulate identity.
This is the kind of thing that is disclosed in the "other details about this room" link when you make your reservation, and I always forget to check it. So I'm often surprised by a mint of the pillow I wasn't expecting or being murdered by housekeeping.
look, if you don't want to be murdered by Neil Gaiman just put the "do not murder me, Neil Gaiman" hanger on your door. If you put that out and he murders you then you'll get a 10% discount on your next stay.
Well they didn't give you any information on the remote killing at *all*! Do you have to bring your own blowgun, are darts even provided, what types of sniper rifle are permitted, do you need drone training, I mean -- this is a terribly unhelpful recruiter.
Probably this is a recruiter from a third party company who doesn't really know the role beyond the job description. Maybe the in-house recruiter will have more details!
Methods of killing is also a factor. Some stuff takes FOREVER. Or forever to clean. Bad ROI. We gotta get those rooms ready toot-sweet for the next victim!
