I love reading the thread after a few days away. It's always a rollercoaster getting up to date on the conversations.

Beginning with innumerable posts "discussing" the dev update and DPC's behavior as a developer, to exciting debates on the interpretations of evil, to the enlightening revelation that funkymonkeyjedi has a wagon to rival Camila (mandatory sus pause), to the rehashed and inane subjective rankings of LIs, to examining the importance of Cathy's panties and Rusty's emotions, to evaluating the possibilities for Tybalt to enlarge his baby-dick, ending with a discourse on whether Bella being Fuckface's teacher is a shitstorm waiting to happen.

What a time to be alive.

Every time I return to this thread:

I think it can be generally boiled down to the idea that trying to fuck your teacher is really stupid and it's always going to bite you in the ass one way or another, even if you succeed. Which, honestly, should be a common knowledge :sneaky:
I mean, of course it's stupid in real life. But this isn't real life, it is a VN and there are TONS of those that center around having sex with your teacher. And that is also ignoring the fact that Bella is a teacher and will even be your teacher next semester so her having a problem with that would be pretty hypocritical of her.

but what punishment are you talking about?
Maybe punishment is a strong word here, rather unpleasant consequences.

just go to Jill and it's all good. then without going over it again, but going to a sick friend would be a betrayal?
You can't go with Jill without talking to Sage on the phone and she will ask you to come. This way you will either break your promise to Sage or refuse Jill's surprise party, negatively impacting your RP with her. Of course, this would not be a betrayal.

and if Maya and Josy reject you, cheating has nothing to do with it, they reject you even as a virgin in case, like Jill afterwards
No, I mean if they accepted you and three of you started a throuple relationship and then you didn't choose them as LI in the ep.8.

there are a lot of choices that matter, but for now who we had sex with has mattered relatively little, more often it has mattered with who we didn't have sex with. for example in the trouple if by chance we decided to avoid sexually either Maya or Josy, for the trouple no apparent problem, but the game remembers this preference and it might matter
If we're only talking about choices that block some routes, then I agree with you, messing with Cathy in Bella's car seems like the only example of such a choice. By the way, I never seem to have tried to avoid one of the girls in an M&J relationship, did that somehow backfire in chapter 9?

And yet the MC has enough clues that she feels something for him, even if he didn't go to the library to thank her for speaking a good word to Jill for him (the initial step on Bella's route). She helped him when he run naked around the campus. She brought his drunk body to her house and let him kiss her and grope her tit. She was visibly jealous when she helped Jill reconcile with the MC after Jill ratted Chad. And fucking someone in Bella's car at that point is like taking a dump in her backyard. After that, she will see nothing in him but a dog. Maybe I'm wrong, but this is how I see it.
So you are responsible for a persons feelings now? Her having feelings for him or not having feelings for him is irrelevant. Again, the only thing she could logically get upset about is you doing it in her car. Anything else is just stupidity.

That's true only if you're not interested in her :) Otherwise you have to take her feelings into account. Relationships are a two-way road. or threeway sometimes :)
Anyway, this is a DPC's story, and he decided to put it like this. :)

now I understand what you are referring to, your problem is the very dramatic scenes, but those unfortunately for you are part of the DPC narrative, there are many that don't even depend on our choices (like MC's escape when Josy arrives, Maya's crisis,

I don't agree with how yossa999 put it and no, we are not responsible for another person's feelings, but acting as if Bella's decision to reject a Fuckface who gets involved with her co-worker in her car is illogical, is itself a logical fallacy. Her feelings may be the reason she rejects him but her decision is entirely logical because she doesn't wish to be involved with a young adult who evidently can't keep his dick in his pants. It is defined repetitively in the narrative that it just isn't in her character to get involved with an obvious womanizer. I imagine all the MC's dalliances will be scrutinized by her once she learns of them.

I dont think Quinn is nearly as bad as people are saying she is


Really?!?!!?
She is a nasty bitch. Mean, hurtful and rude just for kicks. She abuses and sells drugs. She assaults Riona. She threatens and blackmails multiple people including Mona. She is an outright groomer as she manipulates girls like Rio and Camilla, lowering their self worth so they join the restaurant.

For 99% of the time she is about as nasty and vile as a piece of trash poor excuse of a human being can be. You can still like her but stating any variation of "she's not that bad" is utterly ludicrous.

Haha Quinn is actually my fourth favourite girl
For me it's
1 - Maya
2 - Josy
3 - Rionna
4 - Quinn
So yeah, While Maya is always going to be my favourite those other girls are pretty cool as well
That said Quinn upset Maya so she can eat a bag of dicks.
Aside from Quinn I do like your top 5. For me it's Josy, Sage, Maya, Rio and Cammy with Lilly, Elena and Nicole right after. Quinn is at the bottom with Jill, Zoey, Jade and Bella.

Not bad??? She's a pimp to the girls and a drug dealer, and who knows what else she's involved in, she ruined Maya's life, nope, she's not bad at all :unsure:
Not sure Quinn ruined Maya's life. Her father ruined her life. Quinn just added a little salt to her wound.
If Maya knew what she had to do (sleeping with Burke) to get free tuition, she wouldn't sign up for it in the first place. I don't know why Mona didn't just tell her about this. I guess, it is for storytelling purposes. Otherwise, Maya's dramatic situation wouldn't be more overly dramatic...

You're right, but those scenes I mentioned can be completely avoided if you choose to have an exclusive relationship with a certain girl (or girls in the case of M&J). That's why I said that the game punishes you one way or another for infidelity. And tell me about DPC's dramatic narrative, I couldn't sleep when I first played Acting Lessons. :)

In my first playthrough, I went with the chick route first. I quite liked Josy and Maya, so I decided to get close to them. Since I thought it was going to be cheating, I didn't sleep with either of them and was punished by this decision later. Jill was there for me. I don't know Jill fans but that's how I switch from J&M to Jill.

I didn't follow any guides or walkthroughs so it was very natural and I quite liked to story progression.
