I don't think Heather or any HOT has any ambition towards other frats political structure, maybe they do but i don't think so.

If i can state my opinion, for me there's has been some kind political plot going on for some time now inside the HOTs. Sage leadership is weak and more or less figurative, Quinn does whatever she wants most of time. She sells drugs. She sells the girls inside the sorority. And Sage, apparently, know nothing and don't really appear to care about what Quinn does.
That's one hell of a weak leadership. It's acceptable that people would want her out of that position.


And that's why i said it will bite his ass later and not earlier.

You can fuck anyone you want now, but later you are going to shut down every casual fuck you have (Riona, Camilla, Jade, Cathy etc) to have a healthy relationship. Some of this is going to turn for the worst. Not to mention, some LIs may dislike this side of the situation.
sure

for these reason if MC is in the triangle deal with Maya and Josy quits his affair with Cathe. in this moment only Jill could partially complain about his behavior

Yeah, that's the same feeling i got. It's bad, really bad. And some girls probably hate it (see Mona's reaction), and this has been going for two years?
(Maybe more? Crazy theory, but maybe it's not something Quinn invented? Maybe someone before her controled the stuff and she just got on the ride and assumed the leadership position after that someone graduated. It's not a small operation, how she did Quinn set it up, right under Sage's nose, and she never got found out?)

That's mostly what makes me think that Sage's leadership is bound to break.
Thats what makes me think Burke is "cooking" the books for the HOTS in exchange for use of Quinn's "restaurant".

I personally took it the opposite way.

someone is trying to ruin the DIKs. They are creating problems.
Then what would this line of thought bring to Chad's photo and what would it be? How would he link it to the DIKs especifically?

Don't get this wrong, your point is actually quite sound, even more than mine. I just want to understand all the facts

I don't think it's weak leadership. I don't think Sage understands what Quinn has turned into. She still trusts Quinn. She probably still thinks Quinn is supporting the HOT's rather than stealing from them to support herself. That's not necessarily weakness its just to much faith in someone that doesn't deserve it. I still can't make the mental leap to how it got this bad without Sage noticing. They have to have a checkbook/financial ledger somewhere. Who's balancing/cooking it?
Sage is my favorite of mains but she is an incredibly inept leader.
Think she needs to learn to have a life outside of orbit of some boyfriend as that seems to me the issue. Chad was her life, her sisters remote second.
Her inability to have any allies or clue what’s happening in her sorority is bad.

Oh, I think we've established that there will be consequences and that you will need to replay just to get the happy ending that you want many many moons ago.
I always felt that the pictures where JUST for Chad and used Dawe pictures to cover somekind of personal grudge maybe? Like, mostly everyone in the campus has fucked or is fucking Arieth. It really is not that harsh or compromissing for Dawe, it's a 'secret' everyone BUT him already knows.
Someone out there is just trying to trigger the jocks to an all out war. The pictures were just dropped at the door without knowing who's going answer the door, it's not really targeted at an individual. Arieth's pictures are just easier to obtain since she fucked almost everyone. Dawe is just a sad person with low IQ.

Tommy’s not all there, so yeah not sure he’s a secure password facility in the first place.
That’s assuming there isn’t more going on. If there’s an overarching figure(let’s name him Vinny) , an ambitious tool might be of use.
Tommy's sales pitch to Quinn makes it clear he realizes how important Rusty is to the whole operation. He may be jackass with a microscopic fuse, but he's not gunning for Rusty (at least not prior to Episode 6).

On the sleeping round subject. I don’t think we are going to lock in LI anytime soon given there are somewhere 10-15 more episodes potentially. Cutting off most people’s access to any side girl really early doesn’t make sense imo.
As I've said before, it really depends on how this works. By the end of Episode 5, the MC can choose to reject a sexual relationship with 4 of the 5 LIs. Even fooling around with side girls in Episode 5 was gated by having fooled around with them before (with the quasi-exception of Lilly, who hadn't had a proper opportunity before).

Unless the game is planning to reverse course and have the MC screw around with a girl after rejecting her (which might work for Sage, not so much for Bella and definitely not for Maya/Josy), the game is already stuck handling de facto committed relationships. At that point, I think it becomes less work to force the decision and limit the branching potential.

Of course, I think it will still be a while before we're forced to choose purely so the game can allow the MC to be hoist by his own petard if he keeps fooling around with multiple girls, whether or not it technically counts as cheating.

Chads photo could be anything and without knowing what it is I can’t say why it was sent specifically but his reaction to seeing it was anger at the MC.

If your goal was “piss off the alphas and have them start something with the DIKs” any photo that draws out that much anger from Chad is worth sending.

This is all conjecture but whatever that photo is Chad’s first thought was to blame the MC. We can’t say for sure that the response it got was the one the sender intended but if the response Chad gave is what the sender wanted it tracks as being yet another move to make someone angry with the DIKs and/or the MC.

Regarding paths for side girls, it is entirely possible they could have them.

If we think back to AL, there was an ending where the MC would get back together with his ex, Ana. In order to get this ending, he basically had to revenge fuck her and then be nice to her later at Megan's audition. Because he fucked her, he'd get dumped by whatever girl ends up tied up by Leah and he would go back to his ex, and this happens even though Ana is not a main LI.

In this game, we have a lot of side girls but only 5 are specifically highlighted in the official walkthrough; Camila, Cathy, Jade, Quinn, and Riona. All 5 of these SGs have significantly more interaction with the MC than any other girls and have decisions tied to variables that influence scenes later on, i.e. in order to have sex with Riona in ep 5 you have to have bought her services from Quinn, talked to her about the Cluck at the party, and kissed her at the party.

If in the eventuality that the MC ends up with none of the main LIs, then these variables for the SGs may kick in and create endings where the MC is in some kind of relationship with them, just like what happened with Ana in AL. It will also likely be possible to cut off SGs as well and we've already seen that with the fact that Cathy is cut off on the M&J path, as well as with the aformentioned event with Riona who is seemingly cut off for not doing any of those 3 things.

This is how a character like Quinn could have a path as decisions such as taking her number, smoking weed with her, and other future decisions could decide if the MC ends up with her in a scenario where he doesn't end up with any of the main LIs and has possibly also cut off other SGs.

I think he first thought of MC because he knew MC was spying on him in the locker room and maybe thinks that MC is gunning for him.

And while we are still on this point, i want to highlight that some actions where mentioned in the 'end of episode summary' and some of them were for side girls. Like, if you stayed with Sage in ep3 you could say that you were interested in Quinn, this got mentioned in Sage's resume in summary.

And while it is linked to Sage, it could be the possibility of a chance to 'romance' Quinn later.

The Quinn character is one main character due to her dark business and what it does to the other persons around her. So i don't think that we can put Mona, Heather, Sarah, Melanie or some of the other girls at her character developing level. Some of them are just side kicks....or side quicks if you know what i mean! :D So, while the game progresses we can have some new paths appearing. Who knows?
Not sure why my previous reply to this was deleted. But as I said DPC is more focused on the 5 main girls he's had these branching paths and I think it would be too much for him to add another path in. I'm not saying an ending is out of the question but we just don't know what that will involve. But I'd have loved to have seen a Quinn route as I know someone that would have been very happy with that but again DPC focus is on those main Li's.

Uh it's college? Whores for life? Don't know about you but none of my college antics followed me out of college, hell most of them didn't even make it into the next year.
Having sex for money with professors and students is part of college? If that kind of thing is made public it's for life. Your parents and close relatives and friends will know and not forget for sure, it's not the kind of reputation that's forgotten afterwards. The closest thing is being a pornstar in terms of public scandal, and you know what happens for college girls in those cases right? There are tons of them.

hey for those who playing in Bella route,i thought of a theory,sorry if i speak something wrong because is not my playthrough (i'm in sage route),it's possible the husband died in war and she lives in post-traumatic stress and does not accept that her husband died in the war and thinks that he is still alive and will return someday. (I thought about it because the MC when he is drunk at her house sees that hallucination of the military guy.)
