God your posts get sillier each time it's almost impossible to ignore and you completely invent out of thin air the point i am making. I live in a country that was under foreign subjugation for 500 years, slavery and second class citizenship was common place here, so again don't speak to me like you know anything about me.

Yea imagine how all of that happened hundreds of years ago and not in modern setting, which is the point i was making and the one you are missing.

It's shocking that slavery is offensive i know. I have routes that trace back to slavery as well, it's however irrelevant to the argument i was making, as it's irrelevant to all the points you are missing as well.

Anyway i deleted all the posts cause i don't wanna derail this thread any further with this nonsense and i don't think Runey deserves it. Now i wish you could just stop being so triggered and stop putting words into my mouth, telling me what opinions i have and telling me where i did or didn't come from.

Is there an "ideal" way to go through the "Never Have I Ever" drinking game? It felt a little anticlimactic when going through it.
You can choose whichever options you want in any order you want.

Runey, Have you ever considered adding something on the computer that links to the HH equivalent of Wikipedia ("Runey"-pedia?) where the MC can look up and read some of this info about the world he lives in?

If your issue is that you feel MC was backed into a corner and was forced to fuck Lin in front of them, then a "Diplomacy" option could possibly be available.
Will the end result still be being forced to do that? Because the issue is that I want nothing to do with him. I want to walk away, like you used to be able to do.
the game sort of does tell you he is SOMEONE OF IMPORTANCE, that is normally a clue on how one should proceed... especially if you want to punch him in the face...
real life has very powerful people who can basically walk all over [people like you and i] and there isn't shyte you can do about it unless you too happen to be really powerful and have a bank account with a lot of Zeros to the left of the decimal point.
So fucking what? People also get raped and murdered in real life, would you be OK with that happening to the MC on that basis? Games are supposed to be fun, and being bullied by a rich asshole is one of the least fun things I can think of. "How I want to proceed" is extricating myself from the situation and staying as far away from him as possible. Not letting him and several of his friends into my home.
The MC has shown the guy in charge of all Elf slavery that loving them is just as good a way, if not better, of "training" them than dehumanising them is.
And even if that is true, I don't see how it is a good thing. In the letter he sends to you, he talks about "your training method", which to me suggests that if you "win" his game he's going to promote pretending to love your elf to manipulate them into doing what you want. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see initiating the mass emotional abuse and gaslighting of elves as being a good thing. That letter should have gone straight in the trash.
Without that narrative going on the game doesn't have a goal. It can be argued that the girls individual stories are a goan and in the short term that's true but the entire setting needs something to push a narrative and in this case it's what happens to the Elves at the end of the game.
Why? Why does it need an extraneous story to distract from your relationships with the girls? I hate it when games do that just to try and be "deep". What's wrong with the overarching story being about the MC, the hotel, and the little family he is starting with the girls? You know, like it used to be before all this crap started.
I, for one, want Runey to continue developing this surprisingly engrossing plot and I would be disappointed if he was dissuaded from finishing his story because some of us can't separate a fictional "hero's arc" from real-world problems.
That's good for you, but I absolutely detest that part of the game world. I've already stopped playing Lin's story because you can't avoid it, and if it starts spilling into the other girl's stories I'll drop the game altogether. It'll be sad, because I've been with the game since version 0.2 and liked it very much up to that point, but there are plenty of games that aren't so fucking depressing.

Without that they stay being beaten, raped and abused.

Lin's been a slave since her first appearance, don't act like it's only just appeared.

Eventually the overall arc was going to come into play just like everyone else's storly lines have deeper arcs. Lin's just has further reaching consequences.

Wikis are very time consuming. I don't think it would be very possible for one person to do a wiki alone. Those are more community driven. But I would love to see a wiki!

Will the end result still be being forced to do that? Because the issue is that I want nothing to do with him. I want to walk away, like you used to be able to do.
Walk away? Probably not. Her story still leads to the competition so MC would have to talk about his training methods.

If you want to play a game where everyone and everything is perfect, that's great. But I love broken girls, and I love fixing them. If girls have flaws, they're more realistic and you can become more emotionally invested in them.

I also like slaves and obedience as a fetish, I like small breasts and short girls as well. That's why Lin is the way she is. She's always wanted to be better. She tried hard at becoming a cook, did great at teaching Android everything she needed to do. She adores your praise as an SO and Master. If you hate something about a character, don't play the character. She hasn't changed, she just matured.

Training is also something I love. Being responsible for the growth of a character is something that will always be in this game. A huge part about Lin's story is training her both sexually and in other ways. What's the point in training if you never test your skills?

This event is meant to show how corrupt the world is. The reason Elves are still slaves is because of people like Cornwall and his friends. Before this, you were never shown how bad the world was, you were just told. It's not good writing if you aren't shown it.

Do any of my girls ever sleep with any other guys? I was hoping they would at least during the exhibition stuff.

I actually cried like a water fountain the first time i watched Schindler's List.

Hell when i was a kid and i watched the Never Ending story for the first time i cried when the freaking horse sank in the mud and that whole thing was complete fantasy. It's perfectly fine and even a healthy thing to get emotional over such scenes, as you said if some scenes that are meant to be devastating have no effect on you then you just might be a psychopath.
Just want to add to this that desensitization is a thing regarding movies. It's possible to watch something in a movie and not feel a thing and see it in real life and have reactions. Myself for an example used to not bat an eye regarding bloody scenes and gore on TV and movies and ever since I saw someone get run over by a car that's no longer the case. Not reacting to a movie emotionally does not make a person a psychopath.

Good question. Was a bit concerned about Maria on the beach but so far no.
....
Unless you consider the elves before.....
No, there is and never will be NTR in the game

And I take it your opinion is more valid than everyone else's?
I was replying to a guy whose response to criticism of the game was basically "well I like it, so it's fine". His opinion not being more valid than those who don't like that aspect of the game is exactly what my point was.
Lin's been a slave since her first appearance, don't act like it's only just appeared.

Eventually the overall arc was going to come into play just like everyone else's storly lines have deeper arcs. Lin's just has further reaching consequences.
There's a pretty big difference between her backstory being that she's a slave and making her story about slavery in the world. Is Ashley's story going to be about child abuse? Not her abusive past, but child abuse in general? I'm not going to apologise for thinking Lin's story should be about Lin. Not that I object to bringing in the other elves that is, just how it's done.

Walk away? Probably not. Her story still leads to the competition so MC would have to talk about his training methods.
The competition is one of the things I want to walk away from. I still haven't seen a good explanation of why it has to happen. I think that's the biggest issue that we should be talking about. The rest I feel there's a worthwhile discussion to be had, but it's all secondary to this.
If you want to play a game where everyone and everything is perfect, that's great. But I love broken girls, and I love fixing them. If girls have flaws, they're more realistic and you can become more emotionally invested in them.
No argument here, I agree completely.
I also like slaves and obedience as a fetish, I like small breasts and short girls as well. That's why Lin is the way she is. She's always wanted to be better. She tried hard at becoming a cook, did great at teaching Android everything she needed to do. She adores your praise as an SO and Master. If you hate something about a character, don't play the character. She hasn't changed, she just matured.
I like all those things too. If I'd said that I didn't like Lin that would be a fair response. If I didn't like her however I would have stopped before her twentieth scene. I like Lin just fine, she's one of my favourite girls. What I don't like is the direction her story is going in after all that. How the game is on course from being one of my favourites to one it looks like I may end up dropping.
Training is also something I love. Being responsible for the growth of a character is something that will always be in this game. A huge part about Lin's story is training her both sexually and in other ways. What's the point in training if you never test your skills?
Because it's fun in and of itself and we just love doing it. The only one Lin needs to be better than is herself. She shouldn't have to prove anything to anyone else.
This event is meant to show how corrupt the world is. The reason Elves are still slaves is because of people like Cornwall and his friends. Before this, you were never shown how bad the world was, you were just told. It's not good writing if you aren't shown it.
There are some things we just don't want to see, let alone participate in. It's perfectly good writing to gloss over unpleasant things if it would bring the mood down too much.
