You're right about what you said, but there's a chance Lynette had limited access to family money after she decided to go after Neil.
I see that a lot of us expect that the letter is actually about inheritance. In my opinion part of the story and personality of MC is based on the fact that he is poor, so it would be strange to me that after a couple of episodes / days in the game he gets some big money, maybe in the later part of the game.
The MC getting some kind of inheritance or finding out he comes from a rich legacy family would work well with the story precisely
because he comes from a poor background. Ep 5 ended with the MC giving a grand speech about the value of working to support yourself and not relying on someone else's money to get you through life, but what happens if the MC now finds himself in a position where
he has that kind of money to not have to work? Will he let it change him or will he stick to his principles?
It also creates interesting new dynamics for the MC's relationships with others should they find out, because Quinn might aggressively pursue the MC in the hopes that he can solve her financial woes, he could also use the money to pay Maya's tuition and save her from Quinn if he wanted to, Jill likes that he doesn't come from money and this could change her perception of him if she thinks it might change him, and the DIKs might look to him for funding or think he's a hypocrite after that speech.
Basically, a revelation about him coming from a rich legacy family
(possibly Burgmeister) would be an interesting and very important bit of character and story development for the MC.
Hey guys... do we have to be a massive chick to get Jill's Shower scene???
Or do we have to gain every RP's possible up to the event?
I think I have all the possible RP's I'm just a few points from being at the chick most rate possible and still I don't get that shower scene.
You need to have CHICK affinity, which means you need to have made more Major Choices in favour of CHICK than DIK. The RP and status are not what matters for that scene.
