anyone else find the sex scenes in ep 9 a bit meh? the only scenes I replayed are Jade's and the Sarah/Mel ending scene.
Jade scene sucked ass. Just a lame quickie interrupted by Tybalt :sick: Her previous scenes in chap 4-8 were ten times better. The 3 last threesomes and Sage, Isabella & Quinn solo scenes were dope.

Wow. What a place stag Vinny is. He throws some books on the floor. Well, if that's not gay. My MC wouldn't mind if Vinny fucked Chad, Troy and maybe Nick in the ass.

Vinny is no longer in college, so it's not about the alpha male bickering in the DIK pack, because none of the DIKs can decide whether or not Vinny can be accepted back into college.

I guess the "older-student-brother dynamic" exists. Tommy is probably the reason Vinny left. Once a DIK, always a DIK, DIKs for life. Rusty and Nick are still with Vinny too, we've known that since EP2. What are the DIKs? A family, brothers. What if the DIK brother Vinny wants to teach his younger DIK brother MC that Tommy is not good for the DIK family and tested the MC?

DIK: The MC hits Vinny and Vinny says that biting dogs need to be taught to behave.

NEUTRAL: Vinny says that barking dogs don't bite, which is absolute nonsense. But crucially, Vinny also says the MC should be more diplomatic.

CHICK: Vinny tells the MC that life doesn't work without fighting.

What Vinny says looks a lot like a lecture to me. We should also not forget what Nick said that Vinny split the DIKs and half liked Vinny and the other half did not. So Nick was saying that a lot of things got better with Vinny's departure. A lot, but not everything. The Vice President is still a loser who prefers to bury his head in the sand when problems arise instead of finding a solution to the problem.

Back to your alpha male. What are the most dangerous alpha males? Definitely not Vinny or Tommy. And why? Because they think they are alpha males and flaunt it. Vinny, on the other hand, has realized that the MC is a dangerous alpha male. The MC can when he wants to, does when he has to, and doesn't even know he's an alpha male. Guess why Zoey gets involved when the MC is badgering Oskar? Zoey is probably the only one who knows from high school how dangerous the MC can be. Vinny feels threatened by the MC because he can't size him up.

Also, I don't want my MC to be the top stag. Stags are eaten by predators.
Vinny doesn't have any hand-to-hand skills otherwise he would not of pulled the gun. That close in, MC should have stomped him right into the ground. Repeatedly.

That's my point. She's a proud person with Chad and others. Her problem with Chad is that Chad treated her like a fool and dumped her. A problem of ego an pride, not that she misses him because she was in love. But if MC rejects her multiple times, or dumps her after even proposing to go to dates with her and start a relationship, she's totally OK with that? Why? Not because it fits well with Sage's personality, but because DPC needs that she behaves differently with MC for the sake of the plot. Sage's story and general behavior with MC only makes sense if MC is in her path. If not, this character is just a "plot service". DPC makes her do whatever he needs for the sake of the story, even if it doesn't fit with her personality.

And about the kiss between Maya and MC, her reaction if MC and her and involved in a relationship is clear: she's concerned. If she were just thinking in a threesome with Maya, she would be smiling to the gossip, like she does if she's not in a relationship with her. It makes all the difference. The same that Zoey being invited at the party.

On the other hand, to think that if Sage is in a relationship with MC, is going to want a 3some with her and MC is stupid. When MC goes to live with Sage, he says to her "Maya lied to me, or kept something from me". Obviously now she thinks is her lesbianism. And she knows that MC had a crush on Maya because MC recognizes that when they are in the pool and with his attitude during the "movie night". What Sage thinks before the talk with Maya is "MC had a crush with Maya, then Josy came, Maya told MC that she was her girlfriend, and broke MC's heart, but now they seems to be friends, so it's OK if I befriend Maya too.". But after talking to Maya, she knows there were something more. Do you think that Sage, if is starting a relationship with MC, is going to try to organize a 3some with her boyfriend and the girl he had a crush with only a few weeks ago? A girl that is into a serious relationship? And knowing that her soon-to-be-boyfriend and Maya had a real story, something that even made Maya to have doubts about her lesbianism? I´m sorry but it's absurd. No girl in the world pushes her boyfriend into the arms of a girl he had feelings for, and reciprocated, unless she's stupid or wants to be dumped.

The same way is absurd that Sage would organize a 3some with a girl that could bring problems to MC with his brothers: Heather, Josy, Elena and Maya. Do you think Derek would be OK seeing Maya doing "the walk"?

I don't think DPC will go that way. It would be stupid.
Sage's behavior is not a necessity for the story; probably all LIs will in some way sooner or later give MC a second chance, even those who seemingly ended things harshly with him like Bella and Jill. so there was no need to emphasize this complete submissiveness on her part.
DPC chooses to have her behave this way, perhaps to balance other more uncomfortable aspects of her character (the fact that she has long refused to admit her "romantic" relationship with MC, the teasing about sexual performance...)
even at the party, Sage was the one who had the most reason to confront MC anyway; in the end, the party is more Sage's project than MC's. from this point, the presence of Bella and Jill, if not romantically involved with MC, is much more forced. but DPC chooses that only Sage continue to flirt with MC anyway, even though she knows he has chosen someone else, who might also be there. this is all part of the characterization DPC wants to give her, always taking into account his limitations.

on the threesome talk, it's probably just a DPC joke, but it's undeniable that he wants players to think about it, first the kiss, then Maya saying that she really likes Sage, and finally Sage opening up to the possibility of "many more" threesome.

theoretically Sage thought that Quinn also had feelings for MC, and Mc may have even confirmed it to her, but that was not a hindrance at all. the lying thing is all in the past, now erased (in this chapter Maya and Josy even explicitly admit that they lied), at BR they are all goldfish, the past is always far away.
by now Sage cannot be afraid of Maya and Josy from that point of view, they are girls like the others (in fact she has no problem with them, at the limit it is Zoey, who is a newcomer who raises some doubts for her), definitely she doesn't trust them as she mistakenly does with Quinn, but other than that they are now HOTs like the others.

the walk of shame then cannot be a problem and if it was just do it again not in the MC room but at the HOTs (as happened with Quinn and for a HOTs it remains the easiest solution)

I repeat: it is probably a joke by DPC, but the idea he wants to leave is this possibility.

if we really want, the fact that Sage knows about Maya and Josy's relationship makes the kiss even weirder, because it's one thing to kiss a friend as a joke, it's another to kiss a friend who you know might be particularly sensitive to that kiss

Neither Maya nor Josy are in any particular danger. Their brothers, however, seem to be - Tommy has always been a drug addict, and I fear he might have got Derek hooked as well. Derek's behavior is not solely because of Ashley or the end of hell week ... those might have been catalysts, but I think he sought solace in more than alcohol and moved onto narcotics.

Recall in Ep. 6 during the mansion cleanup, Derek comes up from the basement looking ... odd. MC took him at his word when he said he was going to the bathroom and remarked how there isn't a bathroom in the basement, but in reality I think that's where Derek started taking drugs.

The Maya and Josy drama will be about saving their family - both Tommy and Derek - from drug addiction. This may explain why Quinn and MJ paths are so hardwired to be at odds with each other, as the narrative will force them against each other on the issue of drugs.
Wow, man! I do not know what to think. Honestly, I could not care any less about Tommy. He is as a douche as it gets. Derek, on the other hand, is our maggot brother, and has his heart is in the right place. Besides, depending on our relationship with Maya, he very well might end up becoming someone closer to the MC. I really hope you are reading too much there.

The 3some with Quinn is before MC asks Sage to go to a date and start a relationship, and Sage knows that the last thing Quinn wants is a boyfriend and is not going to steal MC from her. "I know you don't kiss boys", says to her.

Sorry, nothing you say makes any sense. If DPC is going to do from now on Sage the stupid nympho that only wants to organize 3somes without thinking in the consequences or the logic of the story, I will leave her path for good. But I don't think that. If you are right, it would be awful writing, just for a silly scene of a 3some with Maya. No sale.

And Sage and MC being friends even if for at least two chapters Sage treats MC like shit (awful writing. MC should tell her to go to hell after getting his guitar back when she tries to blackmail him with that), even if MC refuses to have sex with her for several occasions, or even is she dumps her after asking her for a date, is just for the plot sake, to involve Sage in Maya's problems, in the party, and other things. Sage and MC flirting is for letting open the door of a future relationship between then, because is a porn game, not because it has sense. Again, Sage's acts only make sense if MC and her are involved in a relationship, first "fuck buddies" and friends, then a more serious one.

but there had already been the rebound guy crisis in which MC doesn't know if the role of fuckbuddy suits him anymore and even then he expressly wants their relationship to evolve. so MC's intentions are already clear, the scene during the walk at the end is just a repetition of what happened at the HOTs party (necessity of the story after the moment of the big decision).

But I don't think that. If you are right, it would be awful writing, just for a silly scene of a 3some with Maya. No sale.
but then if Sage really considers Josy a dangerous ex, would it really be such a good idea to kiss her in front of MC? Does she want him to get excited thinking about Josy? she clearly thinks it's no longer a problem for him

I never said that Sage will do just that, only that it seems clear to me that DPC winks at this situation, I don't think it's a coincidence if in the same chapter Sage kisses Josy, Maya admits that she finds Sage very attractive and Sage throws up the possibility of future threesomes. then it can be a joke or an omen.

who then would remain for the possible threesomes? who would these available girls be and who would enjoy Sage's full trust?
Melanie and Sarah? I don't think they are so in symbiosis with Sage

And Sage and MC being friends even if for at least two chapters Sage treats MC like shit (awful writing. MC should tell her to go to hell after getting his guitar back when she tries to blackmail him with that), even if MC refuses to have sex with her for several occasions, or even is she dumps her after asking her for a date, is just for the plot sake, to involve Sage in Maya's problems, in the party, and other things.
since their friendship begins with the guitar episode I'd say MC didn't feel he was so mistreated.

and MC also has a very marginal role in Sage's choice to help Maya, he is involved only after everything has been done and decided in the usual role of moral support. at the limit it is MC who is forcibly involved in having to accompany simple friends to a meeting of which he could be interested in little or nothing

Sage and MC flirting is for letting open the door of a future relationship between then, because is a porn game, not because it has sense. Again, Sage's acts only make sense if MC and her are involved in a relationship, first "fuck buddies" and friends, then a more serious one.
but that goes for all LIs, they are all in a porn game. but only Sage is the one who has to remind at every opportunity that she is still available (even if she just got dumped). Maya and Bella for example never do it, Jill only once but only under certain very specific conditions (only if she was left for Bella), Josy is the only one we can say does something similar to Sage, but in a much less direct.

according to me it's not a necessity, it's a DPC choice

Hey, guys. If you are on the Josy/Maya branch, which affinity works best: neutral or chick? I tried neutral in the past, and while it works well enough, I found that some interactions with Maya were not available if you did not behave as a chick. I even recall a huge chick interaction with her at the very beginning of the story. But what about Josy? Does she fully interact with the MC if he behaves as a chick? My guess is that it should be OK, since she is into girls as well, but I am not sure. So there lies my question: neutral or chick affinity for these two?

since Maya is there, CHICK is recomended, for Josy there are no restrictions

Sorry, this debate has become a loop. I'm not going to repeat my arguments and it seems that you are just contradicting me for the hell of it, because I doubt very much that you yourself believe what you're writing. Actually I have only read the first paragraph of this one. I only say that if DPC makes Sage the stupid nympho only interested in fucking other girls no matter the consequences for MC that you say, I would probably leave her path and all the fucking game, because it would be a retarded twist for the character and BaDIK would be just another stupid porn game for a quick fap.

I don't think DPC will go that way. It would be stupid.
I think a key difference between how Sage reacts to Chad and MC is honesty, since Chad was clearly hiding shit from her and she was well aware of it. But when she confronted him about it, he continued to lie and deflect. It's the lies that set her off more than anything. That, and Chad wasn't fucking her.

During the fuckbuddy phase of Sage's relationship, she didn't care who MC was fucking, for obvious reasons. In CH9 though, things are more serious. She's not fine with MC fucking around anymore and she's clearly threatened by MC's ex girlfriend (Picking Zoey for the costume contest while on Sage's path makes her expression change).

After EP9, I think Sage is only okay with MC fucking other girls so long as she's playing too. If she finds out MC is fucking other girls behind her back, she's going to get pissed. If she catches him lying about it though, then I expect we'll see MC's skin hanging outside the HOT house.
