I tend to get deleted for going off topic, but here goes anyway...

Actually, what you're saying is all part of the game, but you're wrongly attributing the skill and experience aspects to luck. Being able to trick/deceive your opponents IS the skill. The ability to beat players regardless of what they are holding is the skill element. training yourself to have the same reaction regardless of what cards you get, training yourself to detect the subtlest change in an opponent's expression, and then the memory and math skills to remember betting hands, positional plays, results of previous hands, opponents reactions to your betting patterns, and of course, knowing the odds of making whatever hand you're trying to hit (pulling an inside straight instead of an up and down, needing a fifth spade, drawing from two pair to a full house), and then putting your odds of success (luck) against what you know about your opponents (and what you think they know about you).

No need to apologize for that.
Believe in what you believe, I will believe in what I believe.

I don't think it is a synonym. They are completely different things. I don't even understand how you got to talking about psychoanalysis here. All I am saying is.... Well I already said what I am saying. I don't know how to clarify that I am not hating on anyone and just saying what I felt. A lot of things evidently have no meaning but there are people trying to find meaning in everything. And once again I never directed anything at you. The only thing I remember of you is that your posts aren't bad.
I hope that with each comment we go deeper and deeper, where no man has gone before :) and we do not repeat the same theories over and over again. This is my understanding of "overanalyzing" and not a continuous repetition of the same analysis.
As for the rest, since the MC is a woman, we try to understand her and predict her future actions. It's a hobby for some but imagine L&P, going round and round to fit the events.

Well, let's say that the "not so good" news for you will turn into much better news for you shortly afterwards.
So, the "not so good" news for you are that I will have a post-correction surgery (of the surgery in Korea last year) on Wednesday this week. But it will take place in Germany, so I will already be back home one day after. This means I won't be able to work only Tue, Wed and Thu. So here we come to the good news. I got all my things done the last days/weeks, so that I won't even leave my apartment for min. 3-4 weeks after the surgery. And I also didn't plan anything for April, May, June and July. So, I will focus all my time on the game which will be more than the weeks before! Or more precisely: around 11 working hours per day Mon-Sun.

What's already done?

I finished the first two side job events. The 1st one has 123 renders and the 2nd one around 222.
So, only two bigger events left. I don't count the Liam and the Dylan/Emma events, because they're too small. I'll start working on the next event (Aiden) on Friday and try to release a first teaser of it this weekend.
That means second part of day 12 become way bigger than first part.We were expecting to be smaller.
470 renders for part 1
400 renders for part 2
both side jobs-180 renders total.Instead they are 345
So second part of day 12 now will be at least 565,probably more than 600 renders.

Considering that the update after this upcoming release is supposed to be larger, we may be lucky to get just three releases this year. :(

So, to resume what we know:
  • Liam has a gambling addiction
  • Don approaches and flirts with Sophia at the roulette (because he was struck by her beauty, class etc)
  • Liam tells Sophia he lost at poker and they are in huge debt
  • Don calls Sophia to set up the meeting (unknown how he got the number)
How do you tie together these facts in a storyline?

Scenario 1 - The simpler one
Everything is what it appears to be and logically to expect: Liam did lost at poker, Don just got lucky that the beautiful woman happened to be the wife of his debtor. Mafia has its own way to get the phone numbers of the people ;)

Scenario 2 - A bit of twist but still likely
Don spots Sophia, he is struck and he "sets up" Liam with the poker game so he can have a leverage to pursue his plan with Sophia and Larry.

Scenario 3 - Liam is more involved in the deal than we know
Same as 2, but Don and Liam already had a discussion about the debt after the game and Liam kind of agrees to the deal (at different levels, according to your taste, he could simply agree to the visit, up to offering her as a partial collateral or worse (unlikely...)
After all, Liam was kind of quick at accepting the visiting behind the glass and at encouraging Sophia to do so (nexer ). And guess who gave Don the number...

Scenario 4 - Dark and evil path
Liam was already in debt because of other nights spent at the casino, made a deal with Don involving Sophia as collateral, the casino night nothing happened poker-wise and it served only for Don to agree to the deal after checking out Sophia.
I proposed (maybe others did previously, I didn't check) this as a pure wild speculation but I'm the first to say that's unlikely and as gingersweetgirl pointed out not really in the spirit of the game.
Not to mention that it also creates a problem with the whole storyline as Sophia can also leave the casino with Liam (hzjujk ), what happens to the debts in that case? It could be solved with just a business agreement without getting Sophia involved, but... nah!

It's likely Scenario 1 with a dash of Scenario 2.

Looking at it in those terms, I personally would be in between Scenario 1 and Scenario 2. A Scenario 1.5 or maybe 1.75 if you will!! :)

I still don't know whether the difference between Debt and Debts is a typo or even a translation error. I could envisage that there were some (probably smaller) pre-existing debts but I don't think that is essential. I certainly don't think there was any pre-planning of Liam to offer Sophia in any way beforehand.

Again Sophia's mini winning streak may have been set up by Don Morello but it does nt have to be - it could quite easily be a coincidence. I think it might be L&P attempt to show the difference in personality between Liam and Sophia. Sophia was nt greedy and knew the right moment to stop gambling. Liam with his thirst for money and his addictive personality just had to push it too far rather than quitting whilst he was ahead.

So whilst I don't think it was pre-arranged, I can certainly see that once Don Morello had met Sophia and realised that Liam was her husband, at the very least he took advantage of that situation. even if just to allow Liam to continue betting when he had run out of chips.

I agree with those that have said previously that Sophia's visit to Larry can't result in the debt being wiped. There is certainly more to come even if it is not an "Indecent Proposal". Am curious as to how it will be resolved.

PS: I am not a casino aficionado but every casino I have ever been in has had a bar!!

I think it scenario 1 but scenario 3 or 4 does leave it open for Sophia to maybe dump Liam all together and I love that, highly doubt it 4 though.

For me Scenario 1 is most likely, Scenario 2 is maybe likely, Scenario 3 is unlikely, Scenario 4 is most unlikely.

However, it does create the question of if Liam knows what going on with Sophia?

he no doubts knows how attractive she is and that people hit on her but maybe he aware of how far she going with some and he did walk in on Sophia with Ellie in the shower. After all, he is new to town but he works at a big fashion company and people talk, especially about peoples wives.

It was Liam's idea and he pushed a little. Liam knew that only well-dressed people can enter.

Once again thank you !! Liam stated high class . And when he went the first time supposedly ? Sophia went with a elegant dress while Liam went with a denim shirt and pants with sneakers . Hmmm . So something strange that the management didn't tell him the acquires of dressing . Elegant .

When the game ends, will the renders be already ultrarealistic and who knows holographic perhaps? We are talking 15 years from now apparently at this pace, so everthing is possible

I do remember thinking it was strange for Liam, a man who works in high-fashion, to show up at the fancy casino in double-denim and boat shoes.
After Sophia points Liam out the Don has a disdainful line about what Liam is wearing, again I'm more inclined to believe the simpler answer - the scene serves to juxtapose the two men: Don Morello is wealthy and sophisticated (in a full tuxedo) and scoffs at Liam in his casual button-down.


One thing I will say that gives the Liam-already-had-debts theory some weight - if the theory hinges on Liam spending some of his late nights at the Casino when he says he's at work, pinning down when his pivotal casino trip happens would be helpful.

To that end, the Good wife path (which to date has not seen any mention of a gambling debt) has Liam keeping pretty much the same late night work schedule the whole way through - with 1 exception.
Day 11 in the evening;
- On the Good Wife path Sophia calls him home early with tickets to the Opera, they go, come back, make out in the entry hall then go up to the bedroom for some fun time.
- On the Filthy Wife path Sophia doesn't bother calling him, chats with Ellie, then ends up watching a little porn on the living room TV - when Liam does come home that night Sophia points out "Wow, this is a new record! You've never been this late!"

We can also spoil the game for ourselves by asking the lovely people who know how to crack open the game files and look at the code - to ask if there are any flags that pop-up at the end of Day 11 like a 'Day11Opera=Yes' or less subtly 'LiamGambledtheFuckingHouseAway=Yes' (I don't know what they would actually look like)

In the game, again, does not have enough points to do! In this case, I did not have enough points with my sister to pass the club. :(

It always made me laugh, the way Liam is dressed to go to the casino.

Seriously, you dress like this to go to the casino, you get blocked at the entrance lol.

- Sorry sir, you forgot to change your clothes I think.

Liam is even better dressed for the prison scene. :ROFLMAO:
