Not necessarily. All that needs to be said is stuff to counter Tibbs' lies. For example, there was no fire. No damages. Just say exactly was Tibbs' real actions were. Etc. Tibbs lies so much that just countering his embellshing lies makes him unreliable enough that the only actionable thing Tibbs has is the punch and tresspassing.
There's no actual proof MC or Derek were responsible for the water, only the DIKs and Jill know that.
No, it isn't the MC admitting guilt because what Tybalt's accusing him of, as far as Jill is concerned, is that he started a fire which is what caused the sprinklers to go off. What Lucas could do is actually clear the MC's name by saying that, whilst he was at the party, that there was no fire and that he saw the MC at the time the sprinklers went off so he wasn't responsible for that either.
There was no fire, but there were most assuredly damages. Also, the only way to know the MC was not in the mansion when the sprinklers went off would be to have seen him dashing out of the house
the instant before they went off. That's not exactly helping the MC's case.
What Lucas could do to help the MC is to make Jill realize the Preps at large aren't howling for the the MC's blood; it's purely Tybalt pushing the matter. Jill should have realized this already, but her brain was in the shop for repairs last episode.
Its not so much that she was crying. That I totally get. Its that she was crying at the party. If she just found out, I get it, but she already knew for at least a day or two, right? Thats why I find it weird that her crying was over Derek. Its the timing of it thats throwing me off.
But like I said, if she saw Derek in the prep house, then I guess it makes sense that she'd break down over him.
Remember, Derek had to climb up to the third floor to break into the mansion, and we know Ashley was looking after the HOTs' bags on the third floor. I'm guessing Derek saw her and she gave him the cold shoulder, then broke down crying after Derek left.
Any predictions for tomorrow's update? Think we will get a release date?
At best we'll get an update on the current static render count; I will be surprised if DPC will even be ready to give us a total goal, but that is theoretically possible.
Not this again. I recently played the game through for three of my friends who are lawyers. Of the several interesting things they pointed out about the game and the idea that Tybalt would actually go to the Police or try to sue the MC were
One, any investigation of that party would immediately turn up the fact that Tybalt had been lying about the exact events that occurred, there was no fire, he didn't put out the fire but in fact panicked and ran from the mansion.
Two, Who would pay for such an investigation and/or lawsuit? Tybalt's Father? Stephen Burke is the last person that would want a Private Investigator, or worse a Police Detective digging into exactly what occurred at that party.
First, Tybalt can easily claim he was
mistaken about there being a fire; the sprinklers were properly triggered, after all. Second, you're ignoring the possibility that Tybalt has money at his own disposal without needing to go to daddy first. Given how often he throws it around, that actually seems quite possible.
Now Stephen could probably make it hard for Tybalt to use it for an investigation, but that risks Tybalt wondering why. It's just as likely that Stephen would wind up finding the investigation himself just to keep personal control over what was found; whether that would be better for the MC or not is hard to say.
In short, I think your friends are thinking like the MC's attorney should, which would be fine if the MC were in a position to avoid their services. He is not. That means he needs ironclad proof that someone else was responsible (unfortunately impossible in this case) or a complete lack of evidence against him (when there's actually considerable circumstantial evidence that he was involved).
The disparity of resources in this case is so great that even a war of attrition in the MC's favor is likely to end badly.
