Now that we have an off ramp for the Aiden Blackmail (courtesy of Don Morello), there is no reason I can see for the Aiden hate.

If L&P had not given us the boarding school route or the Don solution, then this would be a very different story and Sophia would have just been reduced to a victim who was destined to be passed around as Aiden's party favor.

I think that would have destroyed the premise of AWAM.

I'd like to see less blackmail and more Sophia driven choices now.

We are far enough into AWAM where Sophia needs to start taking a more active role in what she wants.

The scene with Sam was hot, but there was no sexual reciprocation - not even anything half-hearted, like Sophia giving Sam a quick grope through the pants.

Sophia's introspection, that inner dialogue, helps tell us what she finds exciting, but it is still incredibly light on having Sophia strongly considering acting on something because she Likes it.

She could be masturbating while fantasizing about different scenarios, for example:

Sophia finds herself thinking about:

a lesbian encounter with a younger girl (as she gets close to orgasm - she chooses the younger girl ... is it Julia or is it Ellie?)

a hot encounter with a younger guy (as she gets close to orgasm - she chooses the younger guy ... is it Sam or is it Dylan?)

a lesbian encounter with a woman (Claire or Patricia)

a hot encounter with a powerful older man (Don Morello or Liam's boss)

Once L&P starts weaving these fantasies into the story, especially when Sophia starts to take a more active role in her fantasies, then hot, Sophia initiated, encounters with Natalie, Ellie, Sam, Dylan and others become much more accessible as gradual story progression.

I said for a longer time that L&P is afraid to let his baby go ;) :coffee:

Curious that the biggest loss seems to be Dylan. On Dylan Day.
This is simply because Sam is still in the minds of the players. They still have the update with Sophia ahead of them. With Dylan, you don't know what exactly is happening. If L&P had done the poll after the evening event, Dylan's poll would skyrocket extremely. That is the pure intention of L&P to do the poll right after Sam's update. Sam is his favorite and the hint from him "Will Dylan stay number one or if someone else takes his place?" says it all. He was hoping for someone else. And now he is trying to figure out how to start the evening event.... he doesn't seem to have a plan.

If that was his plan, then it big time backfired on him, Dylan is still leading the way in votes, as he should because c'mon, there's a reason why he leads this poll as well as the other 2 polls about the favorite characters, now he knows he cannot fuck up the evening event, if he does he will lose a lot of supporters including me. That being said, perhaps the evening event will be bigger than originally thought? Normally we would have a progress report already but it hasn't even moved at all :unsure:

Favorite Character (as of 0.180)

What is the purpose of this poll?
Did L&P say it reflects to the future progress?

L&P answered he likes all characters as a creator but Dylan a little more.

Yes I did see that, but if it were the case, wouldn't he have waited until the evening event had passed before making this poll? Surely he would have a much bigger lead than he currently has. Perhaps we're just reading too much into and he just decided to make this poll when he did, without any reasons behind it.

The next Sam incident, he will become a superman to save the world :ROFLMAO:

He's getting so slow within the next 1-2 years that by the time his "plans to increase development speed" are being implemented, he'll be back at the current pace and sell it as a major breakthrough.

On a more serious note... What is going on? This downtime is longer than the time he took off when he was still releasing 1/3rd PD's, not 10% of a PD. He'll soon have more breaks than actual time spend on development. Well, atleast on paper. I'm pretty sure that's already the case anyway. lol

Sad, i think you have to find another occupation. Correct me if i am wrong but i think that counting how many hair follicles the dev has in his Ba**s is not a "real" job ?!

I think this poll result does not affect anything to his storytelling. I think this poll is a kind of dragging time that something he needs to do personally (he cannot work a couple of week so he throw the critical poll to save his time).
