I found out something. Play well, in EP8 and EP9, with Christian, Lucas and Gordon. One is canon so the 3 get to the DIK Mansion in EP9. Load them in, it will only be to the MC's advantage. Why? Otherwise Tybalt could become dangerous.
The DIK memorial wall and the camera that Derek finds are the key. What made Derek go from Tybalt's room in EP2? The deer head. Becky isn't all that stupid because she says having a bar on Manson is stupid. The bar is also called “Moose Lounge”. What is prohibited on campus? Alcohol. All of this can be seen on the camera. Oops.
The reason Tommy doesn't want the Preps at the DIK Mansion is because of the DIK Memorial Wall. Why? The pictures show the DIKs breaking into Tybalt's room. Where can the MC Christian throw it out? Exactly where the DIK memorial wall is and Christian's line of sight points to the pictures. Where is Lucas? On the dance floor with Karen. So he had to go past the pictures to get there. Oops.
Chick is the only salvation. In EP8 a truce with Christian and Gordon and in EP9 let the preps in and not kick them out. Why? We find out in EP8 so that Christian, Gordon and Lucas can't stand Tybalt. That's why the MC shouldn't turn these 3 preps against himself and the DIKs.
The problem with the deer head, which you can probably also see through the camera, is partially mitigated because there is a Rooster Cluck from Derek where he writes that he found this deer head. If Christian and Lucas get upset by the MC, then they can tell Tybalt that the DIKs stole his deer head and there is pictorial evidence of it.
But if Christian and Lucas have a good time at the Halloween party, then they won't betray the DIKs. Gordon doesn't have a problem because he can't get past the DIK memorial wall.
But still the one problem remains. The camera that Derek finds. She recorded alcohol being served in the DIK Mansion. Alcohol is not permitted on campus property. I think so that the MC has to save the DIKs and Derek. It may also be so that Rusty and/or Tommy could lose their positions as President and VP.
DPC mentioned that there will be another mini-game introduced in EP10 that we don't know about yet. We know about sexy Twister, probably snowball fights with the jocks and sexy beer pong. When I think about all this information, I come to the conclusion that there could be another mini-game in the vein of the DIK Mansion Renovation mini-game. The DIK Mansion no longer needs to be renovated, but all cameras need to be found. The Diks will likely be forced to dismantle the Moose Lounge and will be subject to increased surveillance. Derek makes everything worse.
That would explain a lot. One, so that there was no preview of a party that is taking place at the DIKs or at the HOTs. We're having an outdoor party. They are not on campus at the outdoor party. I assume so they can celebrate nearby or directly at the lodge in White Creek. Who owns this lodge? Luis, Neil's friend, who helped the DIKs with the windows. All DIKs, except Tommy, have met Luis.
But it gives the title of EP10 a new meaning. "Calm Before the Snow". When it's stormy and snowing outside, you can no longer have parties outdoors. The Thanksgiving party is definitely before the snow.
Damned. Think about Josy's special render series in EP9. Josy goes down a flight of stairs into a basement that leads to a disco or club. That would be the solution to the snow and college alcohol ban. “DIK Girl” Lily? Where does Lily work? In the Pink Rose. Well I don't think so for the DIKs to take over the Pink Rose, but it's not entirely out of the question. But I think it is relatively likely that the DIKs will get a property that is outside the campus area. They will convert this property into a disco or a club. This could be this unknown mini-game. What do you need for a good club? Girls. It can't be a strip club because otherwise many students wouldn't be allowed in. But strippers are definitely good go-go girls too. DIK Girl Lily. I see it coming. Josy and Maya also become gogo girls. Josy and Maya discover for themselves that they dance terribly. But with a little help from Lily and Sage, things could change. Why Sage? Her special render set already shows Sage training on a stripper pole. The new banner makes sense. Sage and Maya practice go-go dancing together. What do Riona and Josy have in common? Both like to listen to music. DJ Josy and her playlist.
But don't get excited too soon because things could get really ugly. Such clubs can cause trouble. The MC tells us his story. The positive thing is that the MC won't die because he tells us his story. That doesn't mean something bad can't happen to the MC, or maybe it already has and we just don't know what happened yet.
Good thoughts in general, but most of outcomes and consequences seems to be too complicated to be implemented, at least at the current point of time. Allies in preps and Alphas as well, would help a bit and may open or block some possibilities, etc.
But your assumptions suggest serious ramifications of the "canonical" part of the game, which in turn should be multiplied by separate LI branches in such case. I, personally, expect some major outcomes in the canon part of the game, but mostly closer to the end. It's too early to push such extra and serious branching at this point of time.
The problem with the stuffed deer head is exaggerated as well as with alcohol. The Derek's closet is not the only place where drinking of alcohol takes place. We can safely assume that the hidden camera found is not the only one in the DIKs mansion.
We seen the warning sign of cameras in the campus since EP1. But those are not a hidden ones, probably.
The most important here and in general is what Derek said and mean in the same EP1:
de "I'm trying to find out who's really in charge of this place."
mc "What do you mean?"
de "Well, rumor has it that there's more to this place than what it appears to be."
de "I'm trying to find out who's calling the shots and how to get in on the action."
mc "That doesn't really explain anything..."
mc "Calling the shots on what? What action?"
de "Open your eyes, I think you'd see that there's something weird going on if you just look hard enough."
de "I mean, how can the HOTs afford to pay tuition for the freshies?"
de "Why do the security guards treat some people differently?"
"Derek thinks there's something fishy going on around here and wants to get in on it."
This includes alcohol and even drugs. There is no chance that the management or administration of B&R is unaware of what is happening on campus. All those parties, drinking alcohol, etc. And Rusty's father is still a person like a man behind the curtain.
Maybe Cathy naively believed that these rules and restrictions were being followed. But Bella, for example, reacted quite calmly to what she saw at the DIKs party, she did not ask a single question, and on the contrary told that when she studied, it was the same.
But as we know, Bella, Cathy and Jade are friends, teachers, all this could not but be discussed or touched upon in one way or another.
Attention to special renders and the scenarios DPC wrote for them is ridiculous, imo. You select only the convenient ones, while suppress the rest and the "fantastic" ones. Like Rio & MC in Cyberpunk setting, Bella being a "Lara Croft", and a lot of other, including Sally & MC set. They have nothing to do with the game itself and do not give any clues, nor can they be used for any theories or assumptions. Too easy and too fatty spoilers.
