Before I answer, let me just say that's quite a demeaning response, it makes you come off somewhat insufferable, and it isn't the first time. There's more diplomatic ways to say I'm using it wrong, or less rude in any case.

That being said, the way I understand it is that the simplest answer is usually the best. And how I'm trying to apply it in this dumb Quinn = Priscilla theory, is in an attempt to try and see why people even come to that conclusion in the first place. Priscilla is mentioned that one and only time, after Stephen has a conversation with Maya regarding the free tuition. Quinn is deeply involved with the free tuition scheme, and is the only person who would make some sense, outside of an entirely different character (which it most likely is). We see they had some sort of conversation in Episode 10, and Quinn later states that she is thinking about dropping out, presumably because the entire thing is being shut down. So, is Priscilla just Quinn's name or a different person? I don't care, but I can see why some might think it's the former, and how a second person seems messy.

Although it's fun to try to guess what's going on, and some times people get it right, I feel DPC puts too much emphasis on red herrings. An example is the whole deal with (what we now know is) Jill's dad at the prep party.
  • Geoff has red hair / Sage has red hair / Jill has black hair.
  • Geoff couldn't get his daughter on the phone / Sage had her phone turned off / Jill answered her phone when the mc called.
  • Geoff expected his daughter to be at the prep party but couldn't find her / Sage was supposed to be at the prep party and told the mc she was avoiding her dad / there was no particular reason for Jill to be at the prep party.
  • Geoff was insufferable at the party, people were trying to avoid him / Sage indicated her dad was insufferable / Jill never said shit about her dad at that point.
Geoff is Jill's dad.

Fuck that shit. :rolleyes:

Mona is why to me it can't be Quinn. I mean the situation with Mona just shows how out of her depth Quinn is. She totally misread and misunderstood Mona, not only that she did the same thing at the same time to Maya, the the fallout of that came much later, which is what caused quinn to be summoned to the office.
This isn't a case of "priscilla (quinn) you messed up get in so we can tidy it" it's more a case of "priscilla (someone else) Quinn has seriously messed up we need to do something about her"
Someone's definitely pulling Quinn's strings, whether she knows or even likes it is another story

Well, he can't give tuition to Maya actually for free, if she doesn't agree to be a "restaurant worker" otherwise the other girls that have to sell themselves for tuition would get really mad...

I need help with patching the game!
I finished 1st & 2nd season on v.0.8.3 and patched the game first with "BeingADIK-0.10.0-pc-lin/ Season 3 Interlude + Episode 10" and then with "BeingADIK-0.10.1-pc-lin-patch/ Patch (EP 9 to EP10 & v0.10.0 to v0.10.1)" and I keep getting an error! I thought that the 0.10.1 patch would fix it but no. I Couldn't find "BeingADIK-0.9.0-pc-lin & BeingADIK-0.9.1-pc-lin" patches and thought that "BeingADIK-0.10.0-pc-lin" would just do it or even that it contains those files from 0.9.0 & 0.9.1.

Don't mix the game files of 0.8.3 (Season 1-2) with 0.10.1 (Season 3). They work as separate games. Extract the 0.10 and 0.10.1 then in a separate dir, not to the same place of your 0.8.3. You've ruined your S1-2 installation already.

if this was Burke's intention I don't see why the fact that Maya knew about the free tuition was a problem.

on the other hand, if he had decided to please Sage anyway, I don't understand why he then backed out, effectively ‘forcing’ Maya to keep thinking about the free tuition promised by Quinn.

the BR is a college, i don't think the only scholarships are those of the restaurant....

Mona ‘freeing’ is the worst possible situation, at least apparently Quinn wanted to keep her under control at BR anyway, we don't know if Mona was then forced by Quinn or Burke to leave or if he did it on her own initiative, but ‘on stage’ Quinn didn't kick her out, while Burke cancelled her scholarship

actually, it's not like anything much happened

no one knows about the restaurant (customers aside), Maya talked about this ‘free tuition’, but has no real proof, even Sage didn't believe her.

Burke reacts quite excessively, when among other things it would have been enough for him to fix Maya's scholarship to prevent her from continuing her interest in the free tuition.

Burke might be reacting excessively as you said. That's why he contacted Priscilla and relay a message to Quinn. He is being overly cautious

Finally did all the main paths, have to say Josy is still my favorite girl, it just feels like her and the MC have the same vibe. I am interested in seeing where ladies outside of the main paths start to go. Like Nicole, Lilly, Riona especially with how the last episode ended.

I know Nick seems like the obvious DIK traitor. But I think there's a twist coming there.

So, if I understand correctly, the mansion where Jill's parents live is same one, we see the mom living in during the flashback scenes? The parent's dynamic was interesting. The Dad can't move on from his daughter's death, and the mom, I think recognizes the MC from somewhere other than Jill's concert.

Bella's husband has been missing for 3 years, whatever that means? Maybe he was involved with this criminal outfit and got sent to sleep with the fishes? What do we think that asshole was looking for in your room?

It's not the 'freeing' I'm really referring too, I mean you could argue Mona knew too much and Burke had to have her leave as she knew too much etc etc

I was more referring to the fact that in this situation Quinn had "groomed" two girls who would be ideal for the restaurant and therefore the scholarships, but when it came down to it she couldn't have been more wrong.

Now one girl who knew too much that could bring down the operation, that's a mistake, easily dealt with. Two on the other hand, well that's dangerous. That's a pattern, we better get her in check before her delusions of grandure pull the whole thing down.
