Arieth, Elena and Heather aren't on the menu I don't think. All of them with boyfriends and it would probably be hard for Quinn to get Arieth to understand the concept of the restaurant and collecting money. And Quinn is obviously a free sample only available to the MC.
Well Arieth is giving an eat-all-you-can sample, to anyone. I'm surprised if she didn't ask Burke to "come around".

Do we actually know how this free tuition situation works at this point? Someone can correct me if we have other information but my best guess would still be that Burke is using his power to cook the books and simply mark the tuition as paid. What portion of the money from Quinn's restaurant goes to him or how many free samples he gets I don't know, but I would be surprised if Quinn was paying girls tuition upfront each semester.
We know almost nothing about the details of the free tuition. We know it's rumored, and we know Quinn has tacitly promised it to Maya and Mona (and presumably Camila). That's about all we can say for sure.

If only the MC had asked about it when Sage was explaining how sororities are supposed to work. (I'm not complaining that he didn't, but it could have answered so many questions!)

At the risk of triggering a deluge of examples you feel prove otherwise the vast majority of gaming systems are arbitrary. The characters, production value and writing (in spots) may be enough to trigger a lot of interest and debate but it is still a game that requires such a system and not a novel. Remove the system and you basically get only a visual novel with even less choice.
All game systems are abstractions, and they invariably have flaws. But there is a difference between a flawed abstraction and an arbitrary one. A flawed system has a relatively clear set of rules that govern it, even if sometimes the outcomes don't match the rules. An arbitrary system has either no rules, or has a very complex set of rules with lots of exceptions.

The affinity system is already hamstrung by having to conflate sexual immorality, aggressive violence and drug use. But even then, the clearest rules for what constitutes a Major Choice I can come up with is something like the following: decisions that can lead to soliciting prostitution, starting an affair with someone in a romantic relationship [except with a main LI], the chance to run away from a fight when possible [possible being somewhat vague], the decision to turn down non-alcohol drugs forever.

That's not exactly a smooth set of rules, and it still leaves out the decision to forgive Steve. I'm just chalking that up as a one-time flaw, because there are so many counterexamples of the MC holding a grudge (repeatedly saying he hates the Jocks, hard feelings against Quinn, hiding behind Karen Rebecca Johnson instead of talking to Maya) or giving people second chances (trying to defend Chad, no hard feelings against Quinn, forgiving Maya/Josy/Jill/Maya again).

So yeah, in my opinion the easiest way to define why something is a major choice is that DPC said it was. That's fine, this is his game. But it it makes the system feel like a game mechanic more than an attempt to really flesh out who the MC is. That, to me, is arbitrary.

So what do you guys think the cliffhanger ending for episode 8 (end of season 2) will be?
- Sage and Rusty are framed for various crimes and stripped of their presidencies, leaving the DIKs/HOTs under the control of Tommy/Quinn.

- MC fucks Jill, and Jill somehow finds out that MC was responsible for breaking into her room.

- There is no cliffhanger. Season 2 ends with repairs to the DIK house being completed and MC going home for the holidays. "Man, what a crazy semester! I wonder what will happen after Christmas break!"
These at least make sense :D and the first one seems the most plausible one. For trying to guess accurately, we need Ep 6 tho. To see which dramas get a closure and to see which direction we are going for. That's my take on it

There is also the part where MC used his tuition money for Quinn/Riona threesome. All this tuition talk with Maya indicates it's a hell lot of money, since working part time is not enough to get that much money. Since you have the option to buy or not buy that threesome, something should happen to that money regardless. I wonder if that money will be a problem. Looked like some amount of money there (worth every cent tho :KEK:)
I'll gladly let any LI burn to have an ending with Riona.
btw Rena was my go to as soon as she was introduced lol. View attachment 691594

We already know he's dumb enough to cheat on the best older woman in the game
I'm glad you've remembered that :D but indeed it's crazy it just boggles the mind it's like these idiots who have stunning wives cheat on them with something that looks like it's been dragged off a street corner I know for Burke a younger woman has an appeal but when you have a goddess at home it becomes stupidity.

I can't speak to the quality of this particular site but I know that I've heard this elsewhere.

I think DPC just wanted an excuse for MC to take money from somewhere.
Did we lose money due to that event tho? I don't remember clearly, didn't check my money after having the best threesome... Since... I had my mind elsewhere... :KEK:

shhh don't make him realize his mistake, just be grateful to Burke for it and exploit it dude :KEK: Burke is actually a good guy, paving the way for Jade cheating on him :LUL:

Technically, we don't lose any money for it, but only because it's so expensive the game's simplistic Spending Money mechanic can't cover it. The MC spent some of his tuition on it instead.

It's unclear if that will ever matter to us (the players). But given how much trouble Maya is going through for her tuition money, you'd think it would come up eventually...

I don't think it will be a problem, DPC didn't bother explaining why even though Bella doesn't like you, she lets MC sleep over at her house in episode 5, imagine him doing some scenes about the MC's problem taking the money out of tuition and how he is going to solve it. Very unlikely.

It's not the outfit per se but the all too familiar issue in Daz of clothes essentially looking painted on. A little post work to create more natural lines and possible show a little underboob and that outfit's rockin' :D
Yeah they'll all no doubt look more polished. However i feel other two outfits are more in character but 3rd will likely win.

Its not just the fact that she is the best older woman but was willing to try try new things to spice up their sex life and that included a threesome and Burke is such an idiot that he asks Bella of all people to join them.

If Quinn is short on money, how can she (or the HOTs) pay all the tuitions for active sisters and new daughters which are due now for the coming year?
I interpreted it as a deal/con on Quinn's part. I think Quinn has a deal with Burke where he basically "cooks the books" to give free tuition to her girls in exchange for their services. The money the girls bring in from other clients, Quinn takes and tells them that money is how she's paying their tuition, when it's actually just for Quinn, probably to help fund the drug business she's also running.

The fact that, through all of this, Quinn never seems to have enough money means she's not turning any actual profit off her scheme(s), which just points to Riona being right all along: Quinn's not as smart as she thinks she is.

Besides, we don't even know if the prostitution is so rentable this year. Maya didn't do anything, Mona is out, Josy and Lily won't probably accept. I guess she accepted Josy to have a pressure point on Tommy but right now she isn't really valuable.
This is one thing that really bothers me: at this point, is Quinn still planning on trying to get Maya into her "business"? Because if so then she is, to quote Riona, "a fucking idiot". Every indication Maya has given to Quinn is that she's not the sort of girl who will do that. Even telling her about it could potentially jeopardize their entire business. I get that Quinn gets off on manipulating people, but she has to realize there are limits.

Either way, the Maya/free tuition subplot really has nowhere to go as far as I can tell, unless DPC decides to completely ignore everything written to this point and have her start turning tricks, which would be total bullshit.
