Thinking about the possible situations where Madame Rose becomes more relevant to the plot and I immediately thought of perhaps the least plausible but the one I definitely find most hilarious.
Bearing in mind your comment about the problematic relationships with mothers imagine she turns out to secretly be Maya's mom. The good old "pastor's family" joke never fails to make me laugh, of course, he's not a pastor but damn near close enough.
Although the theme to BaDIK is "Family", we really don't need too many surprise reveals:
Maya turns out to be Derek's twin.
Tommy turns out to be Josy's step brother.
The Burkes turn out to be Sage's adoptive parents (therefore Tybalt ends up being her adoptive brother).
So randomly having the Madame or Nora to turn out to be someone's mom seems excessive, and meaningless (how many of his friend's moms will the mc end up fucking?).
But I don't think we're done with all the family reveals: Bianca will probably end up being Miranda's daughter (both redheads and Bianca now wears the necklace that Miranda used to wear). But that will pave the link between Lynette and Jill, so it's not just some cheap surprise.

Forgive me; my post was made with a certain level of reading comprehension that I shouldn't expect non-native English speakers to have (hell, even many native English speakers) and I believe I wasn't clear enough.
What I said wasn't meant to be taken seriously at all, it was purely for laughs. I'll be straight as an arrow, I agree with you. Revealing Madame Rose as someone's mother would be nonsensical and seeing as Nora has been unveiled as the science teacher, not to mention her alluding to having future children in the bar scene, being a mother to someone we know is utterly foolish.
I don't necessarily agree with Miranda being Bianca's mother but I do think they have a close relationship like maybe an aunt or elder sister. Here's how I came to this conclusion:
While we don't know how old Lynette was when she gave birth, I judge Neil to be in his early to mid-40s so given the fact that he was 24 when he met 18-year-old Lynn and the MC is now 19 I would say Neil was 25-26 when she died, meaning she was 19-20. Taking into account that the MC is 19 and only reading his mother's diary now I feel a future emotional moment for him will be processing his mother dying at the age he currently is. The MC has often stated that he never really came to grips with the idea of losing his mother because he never knew her, but after reading her diary which may very well include her thoughts on being pregnant with him - he's in for an emotional ass-whooping.
Now, having deduced this, taking a look at Miranda in the diary scenes I judge her to be either the same age as Lynn or 1-2 years older so she should be 38-40 years old in the present. We know Bianca is a few years older than Jill who in turn is either 20 or 21, putting Bianca in the mid-20s range giving her and Miranda approximately a fifteen-year age gap. Now, I don't know about y'all but neither of Lynn's friends struck me as a teen mom in their scenes, I doubt Miranda had Bianca and was just allowed to travel and spend the day with her friends leisurely. I'm sure there would have been a throwaway mention in the diary of Miranda's child if that was the case. Now, in the case of a much younger sibling or a niece? I could see that being left out of the diary.
Therefore, Bianca is most likely Miranda's niece or baby sister.

Sometimes i replay some scenes and i just noticed something...Rusty said he only gave the MC and Tommy the safe combination...So how does Vinny knows it? I always thought Nikki was the traitor, but it seems too obvious sometimes... And we're talking about DrPinkCake here...
So the traitor between the DIK's could actually be Tommy. I would be surpresed, but again...we know who created this game.

Vinny... doesn't know it. In episode 9 we specifically see that he cannot open it rendering your point moot. The traitor could be Tommy for all we know, I personally believe it's Jacob but everyone has their own theories. Still, your point is invalid. Sorry, dawg.

I understand that Vinny could not open the safe most likely. Failure in particular may explain his aggressive behavior towards the MC.
But Vinny is just a cunt, maybe he doesn't need a reason to act like this.

Dude, you can't intelligently post an insult about the reading comprehension of others when your actual insult doesn't make sense. Your original post wasn't "made with a certain level of reading comprehension". You don't write with reading comprehension, you read with comprehension or you write comprehensively, and they have two very different meanings. So you could have said, "my post was made with the expectation of a certain level of reading comprehension..." But you didn't say that. You said some shit that made no sense. Just wanted to point out the irony there.
And regarding my post on the Madame (and Nora), there are a few recent posts kicking around about that theme, yours was the last one I read so I responded to that. I wasn't debating with you, nor trying to insult your intelligence, I was just springboarding off your post to inject my opinion on the subject.
Now I could have responded to felicemastronzo's post. But that shit is too risky. So I didn't.
And yeah, good point about Miranda being too young to have Bianca (who is a few years older than the mc) before Lynette gave birth to the mc and died. Unless Lynette didn't give birth to the mc for a few more years from where we are in the diary at episode 8, but something tells me that's not the case. Therefore, as you say, Miranda is a much older sister or aunt, or DPC just reused an asset (the necklace) and it means fuck all.
Doubt that, while him using straight from the store assets its true, he seems to use the default ones deliberately Chad's sneakers in Troy's room, comes to mind. Also, it would be too big of a mistake on his part, randomly reusing assets in the flashback that setup the Jill-MC house connection.
It still looks weird as fuck that the old hag could be schinoize's mother in law Bianca's mom.
You're roughly at the halfway mark here. To my understanding the mods are still being created for the latest episode (#9) so you may still be able to maintain the harem, but it's probably gonna start getting weird. Most people have multiple saves with different paths, and you can download those saves from the OP if you don't want to have to run the whole game again.

I thought that EVERY DIK knew the safe code prior to the laptop going missing, thus Rusty kept the new one between you three to narrow down any suspects in future fuckups. I still don't trust that Nick was in the library during that first party by himself and was stuttering when found by MC. Also, wasn't the stolen laptop FOUND in the library? Further evidence of Nick being the leak.

we will almost certainly see Maya's mother, probably playing a role in the reconciliation with Patrick
Josy's mother is the one most likely to remain a faceless character, although the fact that she lives near the BR is a big red flag.
at the very least we'll have to talk about Sage's biological mother again, but we may or may not meet her
I'm not saying that none of them is Madame, but it's not impossible either.

So I zoomed through the game to the scene in question, and when you find Nick in the library, the laptop had already been found, so I guess I misremembered. I still don't trust Nick though.
Guys, this game is cool. I wouldn't call it one of the most favorite games here, but I definitely enjoyed playing it.
I would prefer some kind of clear progression of relationships to girls, like in the old games.
For example, in order to win Jill's favor, you need to score a certain number of points, which are scored only in exclusive scenes for her. The DIK/CHICK system is too confusing.
The relationship points system is more understandable and universal than the strange system in the game in which relationship points play a secondary role, in contrast to the incomprehensible affinity. Affinity is too easy to manipulate. A player can move from one class to another during one episode, whereas relationship points are more linear and predictable.
Hi I'm a bit obsessed with the time line myself, so I checked the class and Lib scene should be on a Thursday, then the jill date friday, and dorm party Sat.
the reason you r off a bit is DPC seems to have screwed up the timeline the previous weekend which started my deepdive into the timeline old HB has made a set of time line charts here is the one for week 6
View attachment 2655245
Yes the screw up must have happened on the Sunday before the week in your chart. Saturday was definitely the HOTs' party. Then Sunday there is the tennis match and after that we visit Jill and it's dark outside. Then the next scenes are diary reading and Neil shows up and it's daylight outside. After the moving in of furniture the MC sleeps and wakes up with John Boy's breakfast scene.
It seems that the scene with Neil should have happened before the tennis match or in between the tennis match and the visit to Jill.
Haha ok mystery solved but there is still a mistake here. Btw where is this timeline in your post? I would like to see the whole thing.
The only satisfying possibility about madame I can think of is that she's Tybald biological mother.
That I would apreciate !
Imagine breaking his teeth, punching him and banging his bio and adoptive mom in the same playthrough

I'm sorry for offending anyone, it was meant to be an apology, not some crafty insult. You're right; there is irony in that I lacked the reading comprehension to realize, though your post was in response to mine, that you were just stating your opinion and not speaking to me.
First, it was just a case of overthinking, in that I thought I needed to apologize for my joke lol. Second, that really makes this exchange even moreironic because what you told me I should've said was literally the initial form I had that sentence in. I should've just done away with that part entirely, but hey, hindsight is 20/20.
Honestly, the whole point of that post was supposed to be my conclusion on Bianca and Miranda's relationship, but it got overshadowed.
P.S. My fucking ADHD, man. I typed this out then decided to play BADik again, completely forgetting about this for the past few hours. Well, better late than never.
If Melanie turns out to be Troy's sister (or Chad's but I'm thinking Troy), that won't be mind blowing at this point. It'll just explain why Melanie and Sarah were so invested in Sage's breakup, and why they were closer to Chad than any of the other HOTs were. I'd rather find that out, and accept it (I mean siblings often end up going to the same colleges), than Mel & Sarah's involvement just falls off a cliff and we never know what that shit was all about.
His reaction will definitely depend on the friendship points. My guess? Less than 5 points accumulated will dissolve the friendship. More than 5 points will maintain the friendship but he'll get back at the MC, maybe even punch him in the face. If you have 10 or more he'll forgive the MC but opt to comfort his sister.
The good old "pastor's family" joke never fails to make me laugh, of course, he's not a pastor but damn near close enough.
