Even if it is residuals, it's hard to say whether it's because of all of us from the mansion collectively bringing the concept of curfew effects with us, or because our own experiences are causing the curfew effects themselves...

They're incredibly stupid. Sometimes useful for verifying that someone actually did stay in a place, if it's one of the harder to fake ones, but otherwise they're just a hassle to deal with at best.

But then again, I think my group is the only one that had to deal with curfew effects before.
I guess on an individual level. Like, deciding where to stay for curfew. Is it better to go to a place you know that you'll have an effect at, or just like, your cabin, and have no effect at all?
Once it's established, and everyone knows about the effects, it's safer to go to somewhere that will give you an effect, no? If you're lucky, then you'll get an effect that exonerates you from culpability entirely. Even if you aren't, you might be able to hide in the crowd if you're faking it, and most of them are hardly an ordeal to go through.
Unless you foresee needing plausible deniability, in which case it would be very suspicious if you were to stay in areas with effects... and then not, all of a sudden, some week. In that case, maybe you'd rather risk the extra suspicion every time anyway.
A squad shrouded in mystery. ▓▓▓▓▒ has met them once, and others can only guess at the members' identities from rumors. Members of the squad all have advanced AI and high capacity for independent operation. Rumor has it that Squad 404 usually deals with ░▓▒▓▓▓▒▓▓▒▒▒░░

Ah. How troublesome, really. Some of those effects are more trouble than they're worth, anyways.

Ah, but whatever. They're kind of stupid, aren't they? I mean, what kind of magic spell is only used to make people smell like stuff? Haha!

Here's a question. Do you think its better to have an effect, or no effect at all?
