And yes if your a chick character you're forced to turn her down/ stand her up she threatens to fail you and snubs you at prep party. I believe these interactions are unavoidable

You can just not accept her avances in the classroom and you never get to any date with her, she just fumes a bit and warns you you're on thin ice and threatens to fail you. That much is unavoidable.

Who starts classes on a Friday?

I still wonder what drama there could be with the Burkes if the MC did nothing wrong. Maybe someone did something wrong with the Burkes?

Anyone who roleplayed with Maya in EP8 will remember that the MC plays the receptionist. He says at the end that it's spicy gossip for the receptionist's ears again. At the end of EP8, there is a receptionist standing next to or in Burke's building. Who knows what this woman knows. Hopefully there will be a freeroam event where the MC can talk to this receptionist.

I believe the Burkes will give Maya a scholarship Jade would be all for it. The real question is Stephen will he want to give Maya a scholarship and is there going to be a catch? Since Jade knows Stephen has fuck at least three students is he really going to try it again maybe or could Jade want to set a trap and use Maya as bait? But the real drama won't start until after the meeting when Sage, Maya and the Burkes walk in on Josy and MC having crazy wild sex I mean come on look at her she looks soooo fucking beautiful you would have to be gayer then Chad not to fuck her

Stupid question, do you have to DL 8.2 first from 8.0 for new content or is 8.2 just a patch update from 8.0?
Since 8.2 is 19.6GB and the patch is only 55mb

SanchoMod Update:
Major, recommended for all users.



The initial mod package submitted was missing half of my scripts and effected everything outside the base mod and ChoiceGuide to be null. It has been corrected with fresh links in the mod's OP (simply click on the pic above). Note that above the DL links I place a date and time stamp so you know if the links are older or newer. Again, please accept my apologies for this rookie mistake on my end which has wasted both your time and bandwidth. I take that very seriously but I'll continue to make it right by you SanchoMod fans.... I'll add more goodies soon as condolences. Regards.

To be honest, I think MC has or will have up to 5 chances to get a scholarship. (English, Math, Gender Studies, Music, PE) Heck 5 out of 5. He is simply the best in those categories. But he just needs a scholarship for himself.

Gender Studies is perfect for Maya because she has Social Work as a career choice. MC will voluntarily give that shit up.

English is good for Josy. She loves literature. Josy doesn't need a scholarship because Pete wired her the money, but a scholarship doesn't necessarily cover living expenses. So then the three of them have money to live on.

Now it depends on what the player wants for MC. I think math would be good for an engineering degree. If not, Derek will get it.

My favorites are sports and music. There is a high risk of injury in sports. That's why music would be better.

To take this all a bit further, you're likely on to something here... there's no doubt new mini-games are to be implemented. Wouldn't a "scholarship" Maya minigame founded on something similar as the Mansion be possible? Indeed.

Yeah but that thin ice never thaws seeing as the snubbing at Prep party still happens.

 

[felicemastronzo]

Do you think I would risk showing something if I were a beta tester?

I didn't understand...

Is that a yes or a no?

Josy: "So, i ask where is the bathroom, you wait 3 minutes and then go find me."
MC: "Alright, seems like a good plan. Anal?"
Josy: "Yeah, sure. I'm ready"

 

[Walter Victor]

Well, Dik play through has only one LI's that's Quinn. Now if they make Zoey a pseudo love interest and not just a chicky boy. LI that would give her more impact as a LI. I think maybe you can get Sage as well as a DIK I'm not sure on that though as I've never done a Dik path.

Since I chose Sage on my DIK path, I can tell you that it is indeed possible.

 

[ename144]

Do we know this?

oh don’t get me wrong, I’d bet money on it being true but maybe… just maybe… She can be more? Perhaps the choice will be LI or genuine friend?

A female Derek? A novelty in this sort of story in that she could be a woman he isn’t fucking. A female perspective.

Don’t get me wrong, we all know she’s probably going to be an all purpose drama creator. Something that can pump out drama fit for any occasion, route or affinity. But I hope DPC goes another way with it. He could, it isn’t a forgone conclusion.

You're right, it's not a foregone conclusion and I'm still hoping Zoey will find a positive role. But the odds are against us. Most of the positive uses for Zoey would start small, yet she's showing up with the biggest splash possible. Likewise, all the MC's foreshadowing of Zoey's return was about how uncertain he was about his feelings for her, not about how much he misses his BFF.

I feel a bit like G'Kar,

You must be registered to see the links

. I'll be thrilled if I'm just jumping at shadows (err, the metaphorical kind), but the situation is what it is. Fortunately the stakes aren't nearly as high for us; even if Zoey turns out to be nothing more than an obstacle to stall the main paths, things should improve if and when we finally make it to Season 4.

Her age and school finishing is up for speculation also looked and she left over a year ago not 6-5months and she's just had zero contact with MC in 6 months as they lost touch.

And yes if your a chick character you're forced to turn her down/ stand her up she threatens to fail you and snubs you at prep party. I believe these interactions are unavoidable but maybe if you tell Derek no way you'll try to bang a teacher it doesn't happen but on my chick play throughs you stand her up when you go home with Maya and Jose and she snubs at prep party. Or of course you turn down her handjob and she threatens to fail you.

Jade is definitely angry if the MC turns her down, but she seems to get over that quickly. She doesn't ask why he's at the prep party in Episode 5, which would have been an easy way to get him in trouble if she were really angry at him. Nor does she actually fail him when the class is over.

I doubt Jade has a particularly high opinion of an MC who wanted nothing to do with her, but I see no reason to think she's holding a grudge against him. And even if she were nursing some small grudge, I very much doubt she'll call attention to it in this meeting. Compared to any of their previous interactions, the situation here would be absurdly more precarious for her than for the MC.

I think so, because if Quinn cannot be elevated to main LI status, then how can this reward be given to Zoey who currently has even less (non-flashback) emotional framework? I think rather she will be an important to the story side girl such as Jade. At this point, I just don't see DPC altering the original 5 girl main line up.

It is difficult to bring in girls halfway through the story and expect them to be main girls. BaDIK's strength is its large, interesting cast of available girls, but this can also be a weakness if it spirals out of control. Every additional character means less time to spend with each, not to mention more writing complications. The more you add the "less" you get. This has to be the largest cast of fully fleshed out characters I have ever seen in AVN. DPC storyboard must be starting to look like the longest equation in the world.

I'd say it depends on what you mean by LI. As we learned in Episode 8, the "main girls" in BaDIK were the ones the MC could choose to date during the crossroads. By definition, Zoey isn't one of them. But neither was Quinn, yet she still gets a Hangout and her own variation of the Others branch. So I don't think it's unreasonable to assume Zoey could likewise have a prominent role despite not being one of the main 5. I certainly would not be surprised to get a Hangout: Zoey during Season 3.

Does that make Zoey (or Quinn) a proper LI? I'd say it depends on what will happen at the end of the game, and who knows how that will go down at this point. But I think it's mistake to assume that just because they have different roles in the middle of the story things can't change by the end. It's clear the MC is going to get at least one more chance to pick a girl, and that's when we'll finally be able to sort the LIs from the chaffe. Until then, it's just a label.

You are definitely right that adding more potential LIs to the cast effectively decreases the time each one gets to shine. But DPC has traditionally compensated for that by making bigger episodes to ensure there's enough time to go around. The problems with this approach are obvious, but that doesn't mean DPC won't continue to try it.

At any rate, we should have a better sense of how Zoey will fit in next week.

Possible. A scholarship does not ensure a living. So Maya and the MC would have to work despite a scholarship.

The last gender studies were interesting in that respect. The MC has proven himself in dealing with money, Josy is probably following in the footsteps of her father Pete. So business administration. Maya looks in a cellar costume certainly also sweet. What if Stephen left you in charge of the cafeteria? Two-shift system. Josy, Maya, Derek, MC. Why Derek? Linda brought up the 18 burgers and 6 pizzas. Does anyone remember the name of the burgers? Twinburger. Derek and Maya are twins. But DPC could modify the mansion mini-game for that.

The same would work if Stephen put them in charge of the Gym.

But my favorite is that the DIK's start a small business. Party and event planners. They have the people to do it. Rusty has already asked the MC if he will take on more responsibility, after all.

Rusty: Has the connections to organize jobs.
Derek: He's already great as a bartender in EP8.
Jacob: Advertising and graphics is his thing.
JB: A great cook.
Jamie: Decoration.
MC: Organization and musical entertainment.
Tommy: Bouncer

I can't do anything with Nick and Leon for now.

There are many possibilities to use the mansion minigame in a modified way. But these are only speculations. But I think DPC already mentioned that he will do something similar to the mansion minigame again. I am optimistic about that.

aaand here we go again

I imagine something like this... The moment of the meeting arrives and Sage comes, as her mouth is slack, she says that Maya and Josy are a couple

And Steve thinking inside.... (Lesbian Hmmm)

And all your theory dies

I didn't understand...

Is that a yes or a no?

No

 

[224488]

You can expect an hour-long episode focusing on Zoey.

Or what if they think Sage and Maya are dating
but in the case that Sage tells them about Maya and Josy I would love to see how Maya reacts but I still say all that goes out the window when they see Mc balls deep inside Josy. In case I end up being wrong

And even if she were nursing some small grudge, I very much doubt she'll call attention to it in this meeting. Compared to any of their previous interactions, the situation here would be absurdly more precarious for her than for the MC.

I simply think that there is a reason that DPC made jade your enemy either way. If your a Dik that bones her brains out. She hates you. If your a chik that doesn't she doesn't like you. And she doesn't need to make a scene she needs to privately sway a discision with her husband.
She doesn't have to be all like "Fuck this jank ass trick MC." "Tell him to get his skanks out of here we ain't helping, yo."
A decision that I might add he's likely not wanting to do in the first place because if Maya takes a spot in his scholorship program and doesn't fuck him then.. Kinda a waste.

Whenever I read "deep balls" I only imagine the balls inside and not the dick

Although i agree with most you said there is a minor detail that's not mentioned here : It's Maya that needs help, not MC.
Besides that it's a meeting the adoptive daughter requested. I can see some scenario's where MC will be blackmailed but if MC refused Jade's avances from the beginning that will not be the case and only the threat of Maya needing to have sex for her scholarship remains.... so a chick mc definitely will be in a better spot then a dik MC.
