Most likely it is a branch of Others. It's funny that he hasn't worked on Quinn and Lily yet.

How Inheritance Works When There’s a Will
When someone dies and there is no living spouse, survivors receive the estate through inheritance. This is usually a cash endowment given to children or grandchildren, but an inheritance may also include assets like

process, when wills are written and heirs or beneficiaries are designated.

The will specifies who will receive what. To distribute everything evenly, one can simply list beneficiaries. If certain items are to be left to certain people, that must be spelled out in the will.

For the inheritance process to begin, a will must be submitted to probate. The probate court reviews the will, authorizes an executor and legally transfers assets to beneficiaries as outlined. Before the transfer, the executor will settle any of the deceased’s remaining debts.

If only it were that simple. Lynette would not have gone back to Neil without her diary. So her parents didn't have the diary at first. They probably didn't get it until Lynette passed away, or not at all.

The inheritance came from a lawyer. My guess is trend. Why. There is, in EP2 I think, a Scene of Trend clearly saying 4 not 5. But his secretary got it wrong again and wrote a check for $5000. Trend is working for the Burke's. Tybalt threatens Jill so Trend could report the MC. If Tybalt knows about Lynette, Stephen probably knows and maybe Jade. Ergo, there is a connection.

What worries me is the letter that came with the inheritance. Neither Neil nor the MC understood what was written there. My thought is that there is an agreement in the letter so that if the MC cashes the check for $5000, he will lose his entire inheritance. The only question is whether Stephen and/or Jade know about this. After all, they don't know either so Tybalt is blackmailing Jill. Is this perhaps the plan with which Tybalt wants to secure his future? Tybalt is not purebred like Russel Burgmeister.

We don't know when this diary ends, also she ran away to meet back up with Neil. Her leaving that diary at home is very possible.

Who is Trend? Do you mean Trent? He's a student, not a lawyer, and B&R isn't a law school so he's many years away from becoming a lawyer.

And after that, you kind of jumped off a cliff with Jade and Steve knowing about Lynette, word of advice sometimes a shorter post that makes sense straight through is better than your "theories".

 

[godkingxerxes]

The good thing is to know that Riona will have content again

Riona had content, sex isn't the be all of content in this game.

I'd go as far to say, Riona with her scene at the party and the scene at the end if you chose her in episode 7 was up there if not surpassed some of the girls who had sex scenes.

 

[vogelbeest]

We don't know when this diary ends, also she ran away to meet back up with Neil. Her leaving that diary at home is very possible.

Well, if she not left it at home it would be with Neil already, if she left it at friends why would they sent 5k and a dress, it's the father that doesn't want contact, any other could have just dropped everything off at Neil.

 

[JETracktor]

The diary and the money and the dress were sent by a lawyer and it was an inheritance.
There's 2 possibilities :
One : It was MC's inheritance from Lynette and it needed to be given in the year MC turned 18.
Two : It was MC's inheritance from his grandmother or grandfather or any other relative (Lynette's sister/brother) that currently possessed said items and named him as benefactor for them in his/her will to receive it.

It just doesn't make sense the dress or the diary were in any others possession then blood relatives of Lynette.
Lynette running away from home without them means they were left there, it's that easy.

The more I think about this inheritance the more I'm sure it's from his passed grandma.
1. MC didn't get it on his 19th birthday - it came a little earlier (remember the messaging with MC dad), right after Rich's grandma death
2. Everything in the box doesn't look like something "evil grandfather" would give you but it sure looks like something loving grandma would send you
3. 5000$ is just a part of inheritance that was in a will, everything else will come later

Bruh, you just contradicted yourself ! "The probate court reviews the will, authorizes an executor and legally transfers assets to beneficiaries as outlined." To legally transfer assets, the beneficiary HAS TO to sign that he a) accepts the inheritence and b) recieved it. Otherwise you can accumulate a massive debt, inherit it to someone you really hate, and then they get a "package" in the mail, beeing told they now owe X amount of $'s.

To make this more clear, IF a lawyer would have been involved, then when the MC came of legal age - 18, he would have been notified that there is an inheritence pending. And if the person who wrote the will specified that he or she is to recieve his or her inheritence at 19, he/she would first have to accept it and then sign for it, thats not something the MC's dad can do for him.

Now I have no idea who sent that package, but there doesnt seem to be any will or a lawyer involved.

Play 0.8.2 untill the end, then the interlude. The interlude is a bridge between Season 2 and 3, which will start with Episode 09.

 

[vogelbeest]

Lynette definitely took her journal with her. Neil said so he didn't dare read it because it was Lynette's private retreat. Ergo, Lynette wrote in her diary while she was with Neil. Also, pregnancy lasts 9 months and we will definitely read about the pregnancy.

You mean he was wearing that dress until recently, had the diary stashed under his bed and decided to send his son the diary, the dress and 5000 dollar through a legal office just before MC's 19th birthday? Seems awfully strange to me...
Only logical thing is it was in with another blood relative of Lynette all this time.

Bruh, you just contradicted yourself ! "The probate court reviews the will, authorizes an executor and legally transfers assets to beneficiaries as outlined."

I certainly did not, the named items in the will are not the inheritance as per dividing of the will, they're named and can't be contested. Any unnamed items money etc will be at a later point. We know Neil received this letter, the game just did not mention if he signed for receiving. Lets be realistic, you expect any letter with 5k in it to be pushed through a mailbox? Any debt is settled before delivering any money, but if there's no reason to assume there will be debt there is no reason not to send the 5k.

 

[shazba]

But what were these signs in the end?

The news that Sage's parents were influential at BR and the third picture thrown by Jade, but the only real reason it could have been Sage in that picture was that she was the only one of the main characters whose family we didn't know anything about.
i.e. both clues point to Sage only on one condition, consider BADIK a small aquarium where there is nothing else outside of what we see.

so Lynette's family, which could be any one, will be directly related to someone we already know, in BADIK there are no other families than the 20-30 we have already been introduced to, this is as certain as death and taxes.

so the chances that Lynette is a Burg are not zero, at the most they are 1 out of every "rich" family we already know, which is not a negligible %.
as absurd as it is that MC does not know her mother's last name, unfortunately it is a twist that cannot be ruled out with certainty (MC does not know anyone's last name... it would be a twist the other way around...), and then it would be enough for Lynette to be related to the Burg on her mother's side to avoid even this complication

It wasn't as obvious as Chad, that's for sure but a few clues that could mean more when combined:

• Jacob's concern that a certain someone would find out about her fucking the mc at the party, "And secondly, it will reach-".
• The 3rd picture frame indicated there could be another family member.
• Her bickering with Tybalt on Rooster came across like siblings.
• We knew she had wealthy parents that she didn't want to rely on.

The fact that people already guessed it was an indication that it was enough for some people to joint he dots.

Also, I just noticed a line from episode 4 when the mc chooses to stay with her:

Sage: "And I know the feeling of looking for a place to belong."​

I always wondered what she was getting at there, I just assumed she meant with friends or some shit, but it's obvious now that she was talking about living in foster care until she was adopted.

It's cool to see that Sage being adopted wasn't something that DPC pulled out of his ass in Episode 8.

I still don't see anything to link Lynette with the Burgmeisters other than, "They are rich and it's a good twist".

We know that Lynette never married Neil (Neil tells us), so it's not even about maiden names, Lynette would never have changed her name. Her surname would be on her grave and it would be on the mc's birth certificate.

For the mc not to know her name, it means he never visited her grave in his later years (possible) and never looked at his birth certificate whenever he had to use it (possible). He'd have to use his birth certificate as a minimum for the following:

• Getting his Driver's licence
• Enrolling in college
• Getting a job

So if it turns out his mom's surname is critical to the story, it will be a big swallow to accept the mc, who longs to know about his mom, didn't even look at her name...

We know the Royce mansion is associated with Lynette somehow (the Royce mansion, not the Burgmeisters).

I'm guessing Lynette may be Lana's friend, or Bella's friend (or both); we still don't know how Bella is intertwined in Jill's life.

Lynette was 18 when she met Neil. They fell in love. Her dad disapproved. Neil's contract ended and he had to leave. Who knows how long that all took. But Lynette, Lana and Bella could all be around the same age.

All of this has nothing to do with the Burgmeisters, at all.

Also, the college was founded 100 years ago, it's not like the Royces and Burgmeisters are still hanging out together today, Rusty didn't even know Jill. So I don't think there's a strong association between the two families.

And fuck Bianca off, wtf is with people!? She's literally one of the worst people in the game - she's cheating on her dude!.

Yeah, that bit... holup, when did this happen? Some may want her to take revenge on Matthew by cheating with MC, but hasn't happened yet? You said you're playing through the whole game again, are you doing it with your eyes closed or something?

I fucking hate the work "Panties".

whats the max highscore you guys get in triple tile?

Nowhere near those, and I'm playing easy mode. Get bored with it long before that. After getting the trophy I mostly bail as soon as I've got my $ much like AchedCroissant.

Is there any other way to download it?

Wow I didn't expect the devs to just offer their game for free like that.

The dev isn't giving 0.8 away for free anywhere. Those sites are also pirating the game. You've been given several alternatives, I'd suggest using the split Mega downloads in the 1st post. You'll still run into the Mega's daily download limit though. If you have a VPN just switch to a different country & you can go again. If you don't have a VPN, try rebooting your modem, which will most likely give you a new IP address, so you can go again (unless you have a fixed IP address).

I've never bought into this theory. How would you explain the wedding photo MC saw in her room? Is MC hallucinating as well?

Don't mind Lostanddamned et al., they're the ones imagining things.

Not only is the mouse cursor constantly jumping

This may be your computer.

It's definitely your computer PashafromRussia, the mouse doesn't jump around in this game. Even my shit laptop can handle the pathing minigames. Those paths with long narrow parts can be a bitch though.

Sage's is a Burke. So is Tybalt. No big deal. There were signs.

But what were these signs in the end?

There were no signs Sage was a Burke before it was revealed, though they make sense in hindsight. People guessed it might be Sage when DPC conveniently hid who the other child was in the Jade picture tossing scene, but it was just a guess. People also point to the Sage/Tybalt interactions on Rooster, but again before the reveal, that was a guess. Just as easily explained by friction between the frat presidents and/or Tybalt being an annoying twat.

Edit: And the others shazba has now listed - guesses, which only make sense in hindsight after the reveal. Clues = evidence that justifiably lead to the conclusion, none of these were that.

Lynette definitely took her journal with her. Neil said so he didn't dare read it because it was Lynette's private retreat. Ergo, Lynette wrote in her diary while she was with Neil. Also, pregnancy lasts 9 months and we will definitely read about the pregnancy.

If she left this diary at home, she could buy another one later. It was said she has many other diaries.

 

[felicemastronzo]

I still don't see anything to link Lynette with the Burgmeisters other than, "They are rich and it's a good twist".

We know that Lynette never married Neil (Neil tells us), so it's not even about maiden names, Lynette would never have changed her name. Her surname would be on her grave and it would be on the mc's birth certificate.

So if it turns out his mom's surname is critical to the story, it will be a big swallow to accept the mc, who longs to know about his mom, didn't even look at her name...

you only need an ID to do those things, I don't think I've ever used a birth certificate in my life....

do we know where Lynette is buried? no, so we don't know if MC ever visited her grave, we don't even know if there is a grave, she could have been cremated...

if Lynette was a Burg it would be a huge stretch, in line with many others we have seen so far

I hope it doesn't happen, but if it does I wouldn't be surprised at all

Lynette could be a Burg without ever having had the surname Burg, it is enough that she comes from a female branch of the family, therefore without ever having the name Burg (Jill's daughter will not be a Royce by name even if she is one).

I certainly did not, the named items in the will are not the inheritance as per dividing of the will, they're named and can't be contested. Any unnamed items money etc will be at a later point. We know Neil received this letter, the game just did not mention if he signed for receiving. Lets be realistic, you expect any letter with 5k in it to be pushed through a mailbox?

How can the MC sign for recieving it when his father accepted it ? His dad wouldnt get any postal communication in reference to the MC's inheritance, he's of legal age for a year. They wouldnt send it to his old homeadress either, they track you down and you have to sign that you recieved notice of your inheritance. And there wouldnt be any package in the mail to begin with untill the beneficiary accepts the inheritance and I know I repeat myself but he has to sign for it. Unless DPC took a gigantic creative leap from realism, it just doesnt work that way.

Now I agree 100% with you, that the sum is very small, but think about it, what is more likely ?

A) DPC didnt do any research and totally botched the inheritance procedures.

or

B) Someone, and we have no clue who, went to the post office and sent a package to the adress they know the MC lived his entire life.

If the check was personalised, the money would be safe, and the personal items, like a dress and a diary imo very clearly indicate that it was sent by a private person.

Now is it possible that DPC took creative license ? Hell yea, so I'm not saying you're wrong, but from the facts we do know, it seems very unlikely that this was a formal inheritance process. Of course there is the whole Maya student loan disaster, so I guess anything is possible .

we still don't know how Bella is intertwined in Jill's life.

Yeah, that was my mistake, I got Bianca and Olivia mixed up (in my defence, I saw that dinner party once ).

What are the other huge stretches?

Only the botched loan details come to mind, and those details come from Maya's mouth, who admits she doesn't know what she's talking about.

Are there any other ridiculous scenarios?

If Lynette was part of the Burgmeister family tree having branched into another family and taken on their surname (her mother, or grandmother or great grandmother or whatever), how is that of any interest to anyone then? I mean, really...

Spoiler: Who give a fuck?

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Also, how did you get a licence, passport or other forms of identification if you never used your birth certificate to start with? Maybe your parents did everything for you and you've just been using your licence for ID ever since? That could be the mc's situation too.

How can the MC sign for recieving it when his father accepted it ?

Yes, that's the point why it would make no sense the diary was with Neil all this time... He only received it just before his birthday, why would Neil go through all this trouble if he had all these things in the house?

And no there is no signing for an inheritance, just signing for receiving the goods as they are named in the will, the actual inheritance is more then just the named items/money that can not be contested, MC only needs to sign for that part of the inheritance if he has been notified he is beneficiary for more then just the items/money named his in the will.
That's a fact we don't know yet, we know he's been named for the dress, the diary and 5k. He should be notified as beneficiary for attending the reading of the will for any actual inheritance that needs to be signed for accepting.

So to get back to the possibility MC is a beneficiary in an inheritance from his grandmother, and assuming this is the same person as Rich's grandmother, MC should receive notification in time for attending the reading of her will somewhere in december. Signing for accepting an inheritance will be after that reading plus any term beneficiaries can legally contest the will.

 

[Ilhares]

What's really weird is why are their 2 pairs of the same boots?

"It was on sale!" It's just as good as the "default asset" excuse.

you only need an ID to do those things, I don't think I've ever used a birth certificate in my life....

I don't know where you live, but I got my first ID (in the US) 30ish years ago, and in order to do so you had to present the birth certificate and other documentation to support claims of who you were. It was usually (One from group A & B, or a single item from group C) stuff that either was your birth certificate, or other documentation that would have already required its presentation.

Lynette could be a Burg without ever having had the surname Burg, it is enough that she comes from a female branch of the family, therefore without ever having the name Burg (Jill's daughter will not be a Royce by name even if she is one).

Jill could absolutely have a daughter with the same surname. People all around the world are casting off the patriarchal habit of taking the man's family name for marriage or birthed children. Given how many infidelities there are in relationships around the world, the names should be matriarch-based in the first place. You might question who a father is, but there's really no question who is giving birth.

Im don't believe Neil had the diary the entire time. If he did, he wouldve given it to the MC way sooner than 19. I don't believe anyone died recently either, I think someone who knew Lynette went to the post office and sent the package to the last adress he or she knew about, hence Neil could accept it for the MC, because it was just your every day mail package.

Now lets go back to 19 and not related to MC's birthday either, since his dad told him about the package days if not a week before his 19th birthday, thats an odd date to send someone a package of that importance, right ? So why now ? That question drives me nuts ! Does the person, who had the diary and the dress in her or his possession, know someone at B&R, the MCs name got dropped, he or she guilt triped and sent the package ? Or did Neil met someone connected to his past, where he doesnt even know the connection and that triggered the package ?

Because "a week before he gets 19" its not exactly smth you put into a will, so it seems impulsive and reactive, like smth mustve happened that trigged it, but what ? Oh, how I sometimes hate DPC and his mysteries.
