If he didn't know more than Quinn being "evil" he would never have thought to warn Maya at all. Whether or not the MC accepted Quinn's offer, the MC knows she earns money by pimping out her HOT sisters. That's what the MC should have said to Maya, yet he mysteriously omitted those actual details so as to keep the plot on the rails.

It's hardly the only time the MC has had selective amnesia.

It's been a while since I played the first episodes. Someone help my memory, what are the clues again so that MC should know it's the HOT sisters Quinn is pimping out (and not someone off campus)? On one path he recognises Camila iirc? Quinn and Riona coming out of the bathroom when there's someone behind the hole?

Quinn being the vice president is a legitimate deduction, but not a certainty

It's with Sage that mc has unwarranted amnesia, he warned Maya , that's enough. That Quinn can then exploit her as a prostitute, drug mule, drug dealer, underground fighter makes a very small difference

Since we're closing in on the next release i'm playing some routes again to "freshen up" the different stories.

And allthough it's discussed several times but it's still not answered afaik.

Who is the culprit or traitor...
Is he or she the same who smashed up the DIK mansion? But can't remember or find any about something that came to mind just while i'm playing.
In Ep.3 Jamie lost his phone and pictures from that phone are send to Chad as part of the blackmail or just intimidation. But most likely also from Rusties phone since there is also a selfie among them. But... there is one from the janitorcloset with Derek and Jacob DP-ing Arieth. And that one is defenitly no selfie, more like a spycam.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

That means he or she has free acces to the mansion and even more to the DIK phones (through laptop most likely)
Nick was a long time suspect but what it looks like it's someone who wants to destroy the DIKS through any means necessary.
And what if there are more spycams around... Maybe even the trashing of the mansion is recorded and not to mention the excesive drug abuse of some DIKS.

This has been a pretty divisive subject, and I'm not going to venture to guess. I will say one thing about it:

A lot of people try to rationalize how long and how many people it would take to trash the house in order to justify their theory. I can say unequivocally, that if anyone claims a single, fit, college-aged man cannot do all that damage during the couple of hours the DIKs were away, then they have never worked demolition as a fit, college-aged man. Don't say it's not possible. Accept that you didn't know it was possible, and work that into your theories.



This post made me think of the Shazba List of Answered/Unanswered Questions, and how I needed to refresh my memory of it going into Episode 9.


I forgot about this one:

This seems to me to be quite a biased view. In half the cases mc has nothing more to add, Quinn has offered him a service, he has refused so he doesn't know which girls are involved, he doesn't know how far they go

In the other half of the cases, MC is himself a customer and has no great reason to reveal this to Maya, he has already exposed himself more than he should.
Click to expand...
So that's exactly what he has to add, that Quinn told him she's pimping out girls and offered him access to this "service". The insistence that no, there's absolutely nothing the MC could've said to clarify the nature of his warning is frankly starting to get a bit silly when you're repeatedly told what more, specifically, he could've said.

If she knew exactly what the MC was trying to imply, she wouldn't ask him for clarification what he meant.

my "Uses them how?"

Sounds more like a question to me, so Maya doesn't want to imagine and believe it. Hence the MC's following sentence to add weight to his previous statement and to awaken Maya's instincts.
Click to expand...
Yes, it was a question. Even allowing for (quite reaching) possibility that Maya "knows but doesn't want to imagine it" the MC should've answered that precisely and directly, so she had no option but to actually imagine and hopefully believe it; because that would "awaken Maya's instincts" with no room for misunderstanding or avoiding the reality.

To use an analogy, the way it's currently dealt with in the game goes a bit like:

(Maya's drink has been poisoned and the MC knows it)
mc: Maya, don't drink that, it's not safe!
my: Not safe how?
mc: Just trust me, please!
(instead of simply telling her about the fucking poison in the drink)

It's obfuscation for the sake of keeping the plot going, nothing more. And it's annoying as fuck.

My theory regarding the mansion trashing is here.

But regarding the Chad blackmail photos, my guess is it's Mel and Sarah. Somehow they know Chad's gonna break up with Sage, when they spot Sage and the mc making out in the backyard in episode, their conversation hints at some things:

Sarah: "This will make it easier when Chad breaks up with her."​
Melanie: "I'm gonna go call him."​
Sarah: "Easier...but Sage will still be furious."​
Melanie: "If things ever go south..."​
Melanie: "...you'll have my back, right?"​
Sarah: "Don't I always?"​
Melanie: "I'll always have yours too."​

They are close to Chad, so maybe he told them he planned on breaking up with Sage, but why are they worried about things going south with themselves, and having each other's back. Unless they are involved in the breakup somehow, it doesn't make sense.

My theory is they sent the photos to Chad, blackmailing him to break up with Sage. Not because they are malicious bitches, but because they want Chad and Troy to stop the charade, or at least for Chad to stop using Sage. They were actually trying to help everyone. The photos of Arieth fucking everyone were a smoke screen. They sent all the photos to Chad, and of course he only passed on the Arieth photos to Dawe.

The Cathy cluck, it seems a little too obvious the Alphas were responsible, especially since they were screaming to the highest hills that the DIKs had done it when we know they didn't. It obvious the Jocks are happy to frame the DIKs, but whether the Alphas did it or just took advantage of the situation, I'm not sure.

If you don't believe something, you ask. That's exactly what Maya did, and the MC then told Maya even more forcefully not to trust Quinn.

Maya graduated high school magna cum laude. She wants to be a social worker. She's in gender studies. Do you really think she doesn't know what the MC implied?

Also, Maya calls Camila, Sage, and Quinn bitches in EP1.

Sorry about that. 1+1 is still 2.

This is why I can't stand Maya either. How can you like this kind of character ?

I agree with you 100% about Melanie and Sarah. They will have also put the panties in Chad's gym bag for Sage to find. That's how they got the whole breakup thing going. But they're afraid of Sage's reaction if Sage finds out, so Melanie and Sarah have known for a while that Chad is gay. They know how Sage might react.

I assume Sarah and Melanie have also talked to Quinn, who has a closer relationship with Sage. Quinn plays chess, just not very well. In chess, you think several moves ahead, not just one. The MC is just a pawn to Quinn in the beginning. But that pawn can become more and more of a king during the game.

- What does Chad want? That he not come out as gay.
- What could Troy want? For Chad to be with him.
- What do Quinn and Tommy want? For the HOT's to party with the DIK's.
- What does Sage want? A real guy to fuck her.

Quinn tries to play chess but only thinks one step ahead. In EP1, the MC impresses Sage. Quinn will have noticed or Sage told her about the newbie. If Quinn manages to set the MC up with Sage, Sage's reaction to Chad would be much less violent. However, Quinn didn't include Maya in her considerations, and the MC is initially more interested in Maya than Sage.

How did Jade know that Chad was gay? In EP4, Quinn, who was standing next to Riona, points not to the Preps' house, but to Jade. Quinn told Jade. But Sage doesn't believe her mother.

The cluck of Cathy was probably set up by Dawe and Quinn without the knowledge of the other jocks. At the end of EP3, Dawe feels an urgent need to talk to Quinn.

Do you mind spoiling me how sad it is? I've heard a bit about it and although sad endings aren't my thing, I'm willing to give it a try
