Its still baffling that at no point whatsoever has she considered getting a job.

What's baffling is that there are still people who think you can pay for uni with a part time job.

This is my take on things too.

Quinn is all about making money for herself, not Burke. She has made reference to Sarah and Mel covering themselves and worries about her own pocket not Burke’s. She goes on and on to Riona about maintaining a lifestyle. She’s got her finger in many pies from drug dealing, prostitution and using the HOTs social events to peddle drugs and prostitution.

This is now pure theory without much support but I suspect she’s in desperate need of cash for some reason (perhaps related to her mother) and her first “marks” were the HOTs/Tommy. She pushes this “maintain our lifestyle” agenda (despite rebuffing Riona’s pleas to dial it back and only cover their own needs) and maxed out on Tommy. She gets them hooked on drugs but needs more money. So she expands, peddles meds to Rebecca and Sally. She sells fake birth control to Alphas. She tries to get the Preps buying weed.

She ups her prostitution game. It’s a chicken and the egg situation with Burke and the traditional prostitution but once the girls were whoring for one reason the second reason became academic.

I think Burke is just one of many ways Quinn is funding… something. It’s ropey story telling for her to just be in it for cash and drugs. “Broccoli” has to lead to some explanation beyond selfishly wanting drugs and cash.

I might be off on the details but I’m of the opinion Burke is just one way she’s making cash. He isn’t the mastermind and he isn’t deeply involved with the restaurant. That’s Quinn taking girls who are already whoring and finding them more work.

Edit: the other reason I think there’s more to it and she has a goal is because of the sheer number of people she fucks over. She fucks Tommy over at the drop of a hat, she’s set Sage up for all manner of humiliation. She actively grooms young girls with pledge week challenges to engage in prostitution. She treats Riona like shit more than once and resorts to violence to keep the status quo. If she just wanted spending money and drugs there are easier ways to go about things. She’s flying way to close to the sun on this to just be motivated by enjoying the occasional party.

There's a lot of logic to this argument, but it's worth keeping in mind that Quinn is really bad at gauging her own limitations. The fact that she routinely screws over everyone around her doesn't necessarily mean she's got bigger fish to fry; it only means she *thinks* she's got bigger fish to fry. She may or may not be correct... and based on what we've seen, my money would be on her being incorrect.

To me, the real question is if Quinn started her own drug business, or if she inherited it (possibly when Vinny left). If she started the business then I think it's likely she was also the ringleader in setting up the free tuition deal, too. But if she inherited it, then there's good odds she's the one taking orders in the free tuition deal as well - even if they are two separate rackets.

Hopefully we'll finally get some clarity on this in Season 3, but it's probably best not to hold our breath.

I'm curious, do you guys prefer Cathy or Jade who did you choose ?

Cathy in a landslide. Jade's looks do nothing for me, and her usual personality makes it worse. (To be fair, there are a handful of scenes where she's rather interesting, but they are few and far between.)

On a side note I'm still surprised that the game actually gave Tremolo a manwhore reputation based on your actions, most games don't do that despite fucking every character in the game. I'm referring to the two GH chicks at the dorm party who despite Tremolo not knowing who they were they already knew him as the "one who gets around" lol, imagine having such a shitty rap.we made jokes about him being the male version of Arieth but the game actually agrees.

Sadly, Kylie and Christie still allude to the MC as a player even if he's skipped every girl, too. Doesn't fill me with confidence for how the game will handle Zoey or the crossroads going forward.

You could at least pay a lawyer for advice on how to void the loan agreement.

I used to think so, but after Episode 8 I very much doubt it.

Since it is an American school, the loan would have been paid to the school and Maya's dad would not have any control of the money anyhow. I'm not sure if this oversight was intentional for the story or if it's just another case of a foreign author not properly researching how American colleges actually work. The gender studies class only lasting for half of a semester is another argument in favor of a lack of research.

American university system do be kinda poopy

Now I don't know what is wrong with America, but the rest of the world you can, I did. 3rd world shit hole, but still.

MC could have in-lore two part time jobs, Bella and Pink Rose/Elder Home and I'm ignoring the bulletin jobs he does for Mansion Restoration Minigame and somehow manages to do just fine with school, while also fucking half the campus. What does Maya do all day? Sits in her room, being bisexual.


Seems to me her escape plan from Patrick is to wait for Elon to build his Tesla Rocket and go to Mars instead of looking into the reasonable solutions to her problems, like working/getting a scholarship. I doubt B&R offers scholarships only for sports(Chad).

The Maya loan is actually very simple, Maya believes she signed a contract that gives her father power over her. Her father is a used car salesman, she got screwed over and didn't even get a car. Is it naive? Yes, is it impossible? No...

Instead of her getting a job, breaking up with Josy, lawyers fixing her problem she is trying to get "free tuition", a choice that already got her (and Josy) into the HOT's, but without any doubt will lead her into a situation she feels her only choice is to have sex with an old man to solve her problems with her dad or seek another escape. (possibly a very bad ending)

Maya's blackmail situation, Quinn's restaurant and Burke's sex for tuition are effectively the same storyline, there's simply not gonna be any story progress if Maya's problem is solved before its time.... The restaurant girls suck happy ever after and Burke will make many girls happy with free tuitions. And we all know it's not gonna be like that...

It's a game, not a legal documentary, Maya believes this is her situation, just believe in Patrick's power of convincing...
If there's a law there's a used car salesman (or a telemarketeer) that knows the way around it...

Again the problem is her father, he just will not allow her to have a job, the guy has a key to her room, he's basicly a stalker.
She even tells MC she isn't allowed a job....

By now it should be pretty clear where the story is heading....
Maya needs a scholarship, Quinn runs a brothel, Burke supplies scholarships for sex....
You see any event Maya gets a scholarship without Quinn or atleast Burke being involved?

so after much discussion restaurant and scholarship are the same thing?

the night will have brought you advice

The same STORYLINE, come on Felice, sometimes i think there's too much lost in translation....
Maya has problem, Maya needs Money, Maya hears HOTs give free tuition, Maya meets Quinn,..... then all the way to where we ended after the interlude.... the talk with the Burke's....

 

[vogelbeest]

This could only happen if the MC does not warn Maya about Quinn in EP2 and the MC is not on his way to Josy/Maya. Otherwise, it comes back to NTR.

By the way, I watched the preview two again. Whose hand is the one shaking Maya's hand? Purely from logic, it would have to be Stephen. But the sleeve that matches that hand is black. My guess is a black shirt and jacket. However, Stephen always wears a white shirt during the game. It has been mentioned several times so a lawyer could come into play. We know a lawyer from the game. Trend. What impact that could have, I don't even want to think about. One thing is for sure though, it would explain everyone's reaction in Preview 2.

Being in the position Maya feels she is forced to make that choice is not NTR, only actually doing it is....
It must make sense Maya would consider it, we know there will not be any NTR but that only means she will pick option B, whatever that is.... (marry a Burgmeister but only platonic, it's just for the money or rob a bank or sell Derek to Madam or...)

Highly unlikely there will be a lawyer present at the meeting, we know Burke's solution for girls who need free tuition.
Not that it would even matter since most likely Maya signed a bogus contract and her father is paying himself, it's not even clear how he got Maya's room key, so Patrick being in contact with Burke isn't really far fetched....

 

[Ir0n Ma1den]

The only thing that I miss in the game is a martial arts club/mini game(outside of the phone fighter game). And a guitar mini game.

I'm actually 29, which at leaast isn't as bad as 25.

Imagine that out MC has multiple affiars and the women don't feel jealus, I hope it changes in the upcoming episodes. I want to see some cat fights. I want to see sage, bella and the other women feel pist.

My mc is a smooth oprotor that lets his dick do the thinking, and he is on YOLO mod.

 

[vogelbeest]

Many suspect Burke wants sex for tuition. But we don't know for sure. Maya probably wouldn't even think about it because she already feels like a prostitute if she fulfills the hot list.

If there was a connection between Patrick and Burke, Burke certainly wouldn't offer Maya a tuition for sex, let alone think about it.

We know for sure he's either providing old geezers with sex or he gets it himself, but there's no doubt he's involved. Now even if another person is the only one knowing about the sex, well besides the girls themselves ofcourse, it would only mean Burke is even more likely to follow that road... He arranges scholarships for needy girls, it's simply what he does...

Not likely he will even mention it to him, but somebody in school got Patrick that key to Maya's room. So who has access to these keys? And what did Patrick pay to get it? It's not like staff will be giving out free keys to dorms to middle aged men...
Aslong Patrick isn't presenting himself as a possible sponsor he will not get any information involving Burke's "free tuition" plan.

As for making assumptions on what Burke would or would not do, just don't start with that. The guy is involved with sex for scholarship deals with his students, of whom we are certain several are in the sorority where his daughter is president.
He arranges the sponsoring and the actual sex in the fraternity mansion where his son is president and on top his wife is parading around the same party where this all happens. Do you really expect a guy like that will make sensible decisions?
You really have too much hope for humanity...

Seriously? That sucks I thought the game actually registerd your choices in that regard. Overestimating this game again lol but man seriously tho that sucks I hope this won't effect other parts of the game.

 

[fasdfaq123]

If Maya's goal is to save her relationship with Josy, then, why would she do something that would jeopardize their relationship?, come on, if she fucks with Burke it would generate an "elephant in the room" in their relationship (assuming that Maya's only possibilities with Burke is to fuck or not to fuck with him and, also assuming that Burke assuming the risk that she has not gone through Quinn's "kitchen"). Also who knows, if Jade will intercede for her (although it can already be predicted that Maya and Josy's relationship, may break, because of that choice in chapter 5 ).

I think all of this, in my opinion depending on their previous choices will turn out: Burke would be a "no" to getting tuition, Jade on the other hand would mean a "yes". Simply the MC can mean a help, if Jade likes him, he is not done with her in chapter 8 and Burke doesn't have the video.
