Quinn not even best girl anymore. She's still attractive though. That's the difference.
The game assigns permanent CHICK or DIK Affinity when you run out of opposing boxes to remove during Major Decisions. If you haven't achieved either by the end of Episode 8, the game assigns permanent Neutral Affinity instead - regardless of what your Affinity would otherwise have been. There are 11 boxes on each side (not counting the two Neutral boxes in the middle), and we get a total of 15 choices by the end of Episode 8. That means if you make 5 or more decisions on each side you'll be unable to reach permanent CHICK/DIK Affinity.
That's interesting. We've been referring to the trio as Vixens, but I had wondered if that might be an informal oversimplification; we'd barely seen two of the girls and had never seen any sign they were an actual group. Apparently DPC does consider them a group. It's possible DPC is using the term informally as well, but if the three are a previously unmentioned team that bears thinking about.
Eh, I think it's pushing the envelope a bit past sloppy. It's not just that Sage assumed the MC knew, it's that she still didn't mention it even if she *knows* the MC helped set off the sprinklers at the prep party (which happens if you're on her path by not M/J's). At that point you'd expect her to at least suggest the MC prepare himself in case the topic comes up, right? Of give him a head's up on whether Tybalt will be at the meeting as well?
Well... no. If you don't care about the story, playing through a nearly sexless prologue of a supporting character is an even bigger waste of time.
Just call her Elvira and be done with itJose would be nice...
Not any more of a waste of time than anything else that happens. It is all part of the same story, like it or not. In fact, it will in all probability prove to be more important down the line than anything that has happened to this point. But if you are on pins and needles wondering when's the next time we will find out what is happening with the score of other fungible storylines such as Derek's troubled romance, Chad's sexuality struggles, or the next time Tybalt is going to fuck a watermelon you may be blind to that fact. Singling out the interlude as a waste of time is disingenuous at best.The game assigns permanent CHICK or DIK Affinity when you run out of opposing boxes to remove during Major Decisions.

This has some counterintuitive side effects because of the way the metrics switch between temporary and permanent Affinity. The earliest you can earn permanent CHICK/DIK Affinity is the 11th Major Decision - the option to take Tommy's Fake ID near the end of Episode 6. The latest is obviously the 15th Major Decision - using the bathroom notes to cheat on the midterm in Episode 8. Simple enough.
But the earliest you can lock in Neutral Affinity is actually the 10th decision (fighting Tommy at the start of Episode 6), it's just that the game won't acknowledge it at that time. You'll be forced to play through the next 5 Major Decisions as normal even though the die has already been cast. You can thus achieve permanent Neutral Affinity by (seemingly) reinforcing an existing CHICK/DIK Affinity.

For example, perhaps the reason it's been so hard to find a suspect in Cathy-cluck gate is that the actual perpetrators hadn't been introduced at the time?

Combine that with the way DPC bent over backwards to downplay the possibility prior to Episode 8 and I have to call it a bit of a cheat. Even in hindsight there's equal evidence for and against the twist. The only compelling reason to favor Sage being a Burke was that the amount of time spent discussing her parents would be excessive for effectively new characters - which is nicely blown out of the water by the arrival of the Vixens.
I might still let it slide if the MC didn't also massively overreact to the twist even when he didn't bang Jade, but no such luck.
Well... no. If you don't care about the story, playing through a nearly sexless prologue of a supporting character is an even bigger waste of time.
Again... no. If someone enjoyed the 'fungible' storylines as you call them up to this point then they could easily feel the Interlude is a waste of time on the perfectly justifiable grounds that it could have been handled in a simple cutscene and left a lot more time to advance the storylines they cared about!
Do these folks actually pay for it or let's just skip the technicalities ?
Look at this little devil, i don't even care, i'd fuck Bianca on my Jill path whitout thinking twice
Those sideplots are woven and scattered into the story at large, and gradually build-up within it. Considering DCP never bothered setting up Zoey in any way prior to it (probably because she was never meant to come back, let's be real), the interlude is at best exposion dump. Just how egregious of a case it is depends entirely on how big of a role Zoey will play.
If the name ends up being Carolyn, it will be proof that DPC lurks around hereCarolyn or Caroline fits her, it definitely beats Megan, what were you thinking

Exactly this, thank you. I was thinking about that as well. I think the combination of Sage's family twist and the Mc's universal reaction regardless of path and past choices, is what leaves such a bad impression. The twist on its own, though it could have been executed better, would flow more fluidly without the reaction. I guess it's the limitations of the medium. Having multiple diverging branches that have to be tied in to the main story, leaves a lot of space for incosistencies and details that don't make much sense to slip in.
I think DPC has slightly revised the mc's reaction. His first reaction is, "Fuck! Fuck! etc." and then it seems he runs off and hides in the bathroom to consider what shit he's in.Exactly this, thank you. I was thinking about that as well.

Of course it's the creator's job and responsibility to prevent that, and I think DPC does it quite well, better than most, far from perfect without a doubt.
Sage didn't mention the sprinkler incident, because she thought it was not a big deal, just a party prank, as can be seen by her reaction at the time. She wasn't present in the confrontation with Tybalt and didn't know Fuckface would be blamed for it. She gives me the impession that she's distanced herself from her family and she's not involved in the day to day matters and conversations at home. I agree the whole thing could have been handled better, a lot better, I'm just offering some explanation to the way things played out.
Anyway, I think we've all established that DPC is more than willing to sacrifice plot elements and logical progression in favor of plot twists and drama. That's his writing style, what can you do.... Oh! I know!
Discuss it here and have fun!
I agree that the closing of the interlude fixes the closing scene of the eighth chapterI think DPC has slightly revised the mc's reaction. His first reaction is, "Fuck! Fuck! etc." and then it seems he runs off and hides in the bathroom to consider what shit he's in.
And as numerous people have pointed out now, once in the bathroom, his reaction, or at least his demeanour, is based on the potential devastation he's about to face:
1. Worse case, Sage is his girlfriend and he's just found out he has fucked her mom. There are not many ways this can end happily no matter how many people want to have a Jade/Sage threesome.The mc knows he's fucked.

2. Then there's the potential that while both women aren't going to want to each castrate one of his balls, it's still gonna be uncomfortable.He's either fucked his friend's mom (but this situation means he either never started things with Sage, or he's already ended them).Or his girlfriend's mom has been coming on to him heavily (although he declined her, i.e. the foot job started but it never finished, and by finishing I mean the mc didn't spray cum on the base of some poor slobs desk!).Either way, it's gonna be awkward.

3. The best case scenario for going into this meeting still isn't good.While Sage isn't his girlfriend, and he never fucked Jade, it does mean that the people they are going to see to ask for help for Maya are a married couple of whom the wife (Jade obviously) has been flashing her pussy at him and coming on to him heavily, and he declined her.Is this the woman you want to see to ask for help? Ya'll know the saying: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" and scorn Jade the mc did.Fuckface is endangering the mission, he shouldn't have come (well at least he didn't "cum").It's gonna complicate things.

So while the "Fuck! Fuck! blah blah" carry one at the end of episode 8 was a little dramatic, he's just realised who he's going to see, and the best case is the wife of the couple has been flashing him, making serious innuendo, groping his cock during lunch, and tried to give him a foot job during class.
Fuckface naturally panicked a bit.
Worse case, he's going to die.
