Theory of Preps Party, Cathy Cluck, and tuition.

Quinn has only received one scholarship so far. The second scholarship was to go to Mona. See screenshot.

QP - Wallace Resource Scholarship 2.qp.
QP = Quinn Plan

ID 2022-1005 Contact Information
EP5 Mona should receive contact information.

Who is the first to have a scholarship for B&R? Chad. Who was Chad's spokesperson in Stephen's office? Cathy. Who is the one who is almost gloating to Cathy? Chad. This screenshot could show everything we need to know.

From left to right. Melanie was there from the beginning. She probably took the photo of Cathy. Cathy's cackling makes her angry. The girl is a reference to Mona's farewell to college. It's a touching farewell scene that also reminds me of Cathy and Rusty. A snippy Chad greets Cathy.

Cathy probably has something to do with QP - Wallace Resource Scholarship 1.qp. I mean no harm to Cathy now. But it could be that Cathy knew something about Chad's homosexuality and got him a scholarship through dubious means. But who would Chad and/or Troy be screwing? Stephen Burke. Melanie and Sarah probably know about it. That's why Sarah tells Sage to think she's a slut, because the truth is much worse for Sage.

Now if you think that's bullshit, you're wrong. The MC can fuck Sage's mother too. Why is Stephen Burke so happy when he sees the video of Jade and the MC? He has an MC who looks like Troy with short hair, and if Jade fucks him, he can do that too, or all three of them together. The perfect solution for Stephen to hide his probable bisexuality and act it out at the same time.

Based on the farewell scene, I could guess that Cathy and Rusty have helped several students get scholarships behind Stephen Burke's back. What makes you think that? The last time Cathy spoke to MC, she told him that she had always had opportunities. That's not surprising if you know enough scholarship donors. Now if a scholarship donor goes to Stephen on her own and wants to sponsor a student, Stephen wouldn't suspect anything, wouldn't know about sex, and would do the paperwork.

But Quinn finds out. How, doesn't really matter. There are lots of ways to do it. But she wants to expand. She's introducing the Cathy Cluck and wants to grow the business that way, but she has to get rid of Cathy. That would bring in more profit than the restaurant. The preps party is to make contacts with scholarship donors. She tells Stephen everything she knows, and Stephen recognizes an opportunity to make money. With the restaurant, candidates are found.

The situation between Mona and Stephen may have been Stephen's first contact/attempt to give contact information to a scholarship donor. But Mona doesn't get involved. She leaves and "QP - Wallace Resource Scholarship 2.qp" is deleted. But Mona goes to the press. Whether Anonymous or Personal doesn't matter. Drip a little blood in the water and the sharks come.

That leaves two options for Maya's tuition.
1. Maya gets a clean tuition bill. That gets Stephen positive press. What does Quinn say to Mona? A man like him would reverse the facts. (Mona lied to Maya for Quinn in EP6. Karma is a bitch).
2, If Stephen has seen the video, he will exploit it for himself. He will blackmail the MC. If the MC gives in to the blackmail, Maya will get her tuition and the MC will become Stephen and Jade's sex slave. (Karma is a bitch.)

I'm just curious what Cathy is doing. Did Stephen maybe tell Cathy to quit her job? Does her new job have something to do with revenge? Will she maybe work with Mona later on?

Initially I thought the suffix to the scholarship file was interesting, however, it’s possible all the dodgy scholarships are not associated with the same sponsor.

Also “QP” is the file extension. It’s probably Quattro Pro, a spreadsheet application.

The face of Jill when she sees Alex( This is how I named my MC) nailes Isabella, is priceless. Is as if she sees a killing scene lol.

I feel that she is the only one that truly loves the MC.

If I were to put a number on who romanticlly loves him and whos not its gonna be like this

1) Jill
2) Isabella
3) Jossie and Maya (Both of them love him)
4)Zoey (She also definetly loves him, from the interlude I get the feeling that she didn't take any other man. Not suprising considering the MC was gifted with a massive DIK). Also the dev did an amazing job introducing her, playing as her clearly shows that she will be importent.
5) Sage - I get the feeling that she is only for his cock, but sage proven to be suprisingly deeper then that. So I say that Sage maybe feels something more for our MC.

I don't know if there are other main women for our MC(Alex). Most of the side women sexualy desire him. Hope that the Dev adds some more women to the roaster( The drama is cool, and more women to play with make things intreasting, but I won't be sad if he doesn't do it). I also find quin, riona and the strippers intreasting (mostly lily, she looks bad ass and I have a feeling that she might be a undercover cop. Rare to see in a adult game that the women and side characters have intreasting personlities.

I'm waiting to see how zoey will impect his relationships. Sage will definetly get heart broken, Jill the same or even worse since out mc is her back and she might lose it. Isabella will surely be devestated. Jossie and Maya I don't know how well they will recive it.

Alex didn't forget her, and she didn't forget him despite their distance. So I wonder how his relationships will hold, and how Zoey reactes to Alex moving on.

That’s an interesting order.

Personally I only think that Josy is in love with him.

Bella has been reawakened by him, he makes her feel young and alive, but she doesn’t love him.

Maya is so caught up in her own drama, she’s only surprised and excited that a guy can turn her on. But it doesn’t feel like she has genuine strong feelings for the mc.

Sage likes him, but there’s no love.

Jill is infatuated with him, but once again, the connection doesn’t feel that strong. It’s the sexual tension that intoxicates her.

But Josy, she lights up when he’s around, even the mere mention of his name makes her happy. She’s definitely in love with him.

It's pretty close between Jill and Josy I think, but it's Josy for me. If you take into account that Josy and the MC have known each other longer and have had a crush on each other from the start of the game that already gives her a leg up. That paired with the actual intimacy between them as apposed to every other LI really, you can see that it's more than just Josy getting to know him. She is a loving little puzzle piece and it shows.

As for Zoey, I don't see her coming back leading to anything good. I'm hoping that we can just say "Hey, I'm happy how thing are going now." but it's very unlikely that she will be anything other than a thorn in your foot. She may have had an epiphany but that doesn't mean the MC has to.

 

[BigBlueDude]

Yeah, pretty much to all what you sayd. There are a couple things more. First, the anger with Maya don't came from her cheating on Josy, but rather her liying to the MC. When the MC got angry with Maya in ep4 a lot of people took it personally. This is because they don't hate cheating by itself but rather they identify with the MC so they see the problems for his point of view. Frankly i find both absurd the MC stand, and to take it personally whatever happen to an MC. There is when things started.
Later on by ep6 some people added that she was naive stupid and damsel in distres but my opinion is that it was mostly coming from that ep 4 scene anger. Finally some people hate her couse they see her as an ideological left wing device thought they are quiet this days.

I also thought there is some scapegoat going on. Like it's easier to focus on trash Maya than to accept that to be fair with every character.

Thank you for this background. Its compelling reasoning.

With Maya, I think so she loves the MC too, despite the drama. The MC sends her a heart via text message and Maya sends him one back. This is actually in my playthrough the first real expression of love from the MC and from a LI for the MC.

 

[vogelbeest]

You make it sound like Maya's financial trouble and the free tuition are the central theme of the game. That may be the case if like you said, Maya was the MC, but she's not. You are presented with the option to the restaurant no matter what, not because Quinn is offering you free tuition or a slot on the menu.

Maya and Josy were going to go to B&R to get away from her father regardless of the free tuition. She didn't even know bout the free tuition until after she started to attend so it wasn't the reason she wanted to pledge in the first place. She probably wouldn't have if it wasn't for the rumor. Either way it has absolutely nothing to do with the MC unless you are on their path and even if you are it's not something the MC has to deal with personally. Like most of the drama in the game it centers around what others are going through. All things considered the MC himself is just peachy.

What you mean Maya did not pledge with the hope to get free tuition? She tells MC that's the reason to pledge with the HOT's standing before the HOT mansion.... She even tells you she has to talk with Quinn.... Maybe she did hear a rumor, so what?
I just said Maya's Loan has been her motivation to pursue that free tuition. It's been a prominent part of ep 1-8 and in 9 again.
It's been tied to the HOT pledge, Quinn wanting to get Mona and Maya in to the restaurant, We've seen Mona leave, we already know Burke arranges scholarships for sex and we're going to have a meeting with him at the start of ep 9..... How likely is an outcome she will get a scholarship with no strings attached?

But Josy, she lights up when he’s around, even the mere mention of his name makes her happy. She’s definitely in love with him.

I actually think they all love MC and don't believe it's really fair to rank them.

Both Josy and Maya are always happy when MC's around and although Maya obviously has other concerns, she's very much into him although she thought she couldn't even like men, and it's not like MC's the first man she has had around, so only love could really make her accept a three way relationship.
Josy in contrast has had pretty much no adversities so far, and she also accepted that she liked MC even before Maya was in the know, so for her it's just really easy to be all lovey-dovey with him now that her only concern is pretty much just hiding from Maya's dad.

Sage is more conflicted about her feelings for him but you can see by her reaction at the end of EP8 that she has completely let her guard down and has fallen for him badly.

Jill, c'mon, there's no way it's just sexual tension, she has done so much for him and he for her, she's fallen hard and that's even more evident by her reaction if you choose Bella after pursuing her.

Then comes Bella, obviously the most complicated case, but she herself has questioned why their attraction can't just be carnal, after nearly having several breakdowns, by EP7 she clearly starts accepting her feelings and that's even more apparent in EP8, when although their first date went horribly wrong, she still decides to pursue MC and agrees to try and face the bumpy road they have ahead. This isn't something that someone does just out of lust.

Now, love is different for everybody and it's true that can be stronger for some and weaker for others. But even then, all the LIs emotional baggage, circumstances and levels of maturity are so different from one another that I don't think it's fair to compare them.

Based on other posts, lay off the Mod usage. Thats what is breaking the game. Start over with a clean install or bugger the creator of the mod you are using.

I believe that only Zoey truly loves him at this point, always did just didn't know it until it was too late. The rest are not in love at all yet, at different levels of crush or interest.

Damnn, zoey is such a intreasting twist. Sage is going to get her heart broken again

Nah. Maybe her bed, though. Zoey/Sage/MC threesome on the way!

 

[AngelsAfterDark]

Did not understand this arguing about the financials, nor the annoyance about the logistics of the Burke free tuition and the restaurant and the "fuck fuck fuck" ep8/"open the fucking door" Interlude scene that its all a big mess. Then it struck me, is it because people dont like Maya and the dislike bleeds over onto everything? Because Mayas effectively the catalyst for why Fuckface should care about it at all, and that all these scenes are the story we are reading due to her?

Stay with me, as I come in from left side with this: To me Sage was not sympathetic at all early on, pretty terrible really. The first few interactions in no particular order; demanding help for stolen goods, the help was stalking & spying, help and ill scratch your back if you scratch mine wink wink nudge nudge (heavily implied sexual favors). Red flags galore.
Shes not a good person at all while jealous and angry. Pretty damn bad actually. To be fair these flaws makes her quite lifelike and shes much better now though after she finally got rid of Chad in her head. Oh yeah, speaking of Chad, they were a couple and she cheated while he cheated as well. She did it out of spite and he did it due to homosexuality.

I ignore the cheating because I ignore the cheating with Josy/Maya as well when all is said and done. From the omniscient view of the player all of it is so minor and not really cheating (m&j had already died out due to no contact, s&d was a sham thing from the beginning so there was nothing to betray) Is there a difference there? (Some would say yes, very much so. But they only care about the one of em)

Its all flawed people, it makes interesting people, also known as good writing.

Coming back from the left side: Why is it impossible to extend goodwill to Maya for so many people when they apparently do it for Sage?

My bet its because being so isolated and controlled by a parent as Maya is, is too alien to the male audience that they cannot imagine reacting as Maya would, at all. Because shes a blond girl and obviously dumb huh. Add a side of "Why isnt she like Derek who turned out fine". And him people do like, hes carefree and a good dude. Like dudes are. Not a dumb Chick.

I personally like Maya, don't know why people hate her so much. I mean sure she comes with a lot of drama but such is life, she's just a teen girl after all, she's not even 20 yet.Sage had that whole Chad drama going for a minute and as you mentioned there's a lot of things to question about her character, and the same can be said for pretty much everyone else but sadly Maya is the only one who gets crucified everytime she makes a mistake.

 

[NebulousShooter]

How can you say that? No one in this thread does that

Just ask our mutual friend (You know who )

Maya is not stupid and selfish. She is naive, Introverted and has little life experience, which is due to the fact that her father Patrick forbade Maya to do anything. She was not even allowed to have a summer job.

Well, I am not implying anything, but she is blonde

So, I return to the thread and to f95 for the first time in 5 months and I see that the talk of the thread is Maya and DPCs writting, so its nice to see that the thread didnt change in my absence .

And then I come across this post. A post defending Maya against people who "dont like her" (which is admirable and very well written might I had ), while essentially doing the exact same thing to Sage , who funnily enough seems to be the only character who is actually trying to help Maya ....

So, as a guy who mains Sage and doesnt like Maya, I see myself in the position to reply and to express my opinions.

First of all, I dont "HATE" Maya. I think that everyone has a type and Maya fulfills a type that players might want/like. However DPCs wrtting of the story, and incidentally Maya, made me dislike Maya as a character.

Maya fans usually have this delusion that everyone who "hates"/"dislikes" Maya do so because Maya rejected the MC in episode 4 or because Maya "cheated" with Josy or even because she lies to the MC. When in fact, the answer is WAY more simple than that: The initial problem, at least for me, was/is how the whole Maya story is being brought up to us the players, mainly the DIK players. The DIK MC behaves as a CHICK the whole episode 4 and then he is rejected purely because he is a DIK, no matter what choices you do before episode 4. But again, this wasnt enough for me to dislike her completely.

The nail in the coffin for me comes in the next episodes where Maya is constantly used as a Deus Ex Machina (ending of episode 6, when the MC literally drops everything, becomes superman and flies to Maya immediately in all possible paths. Or when my MC has to be Clark Kent and face Mayas father), where shes used as a way to start the DPC drama special, making me wonder sometimes who is the MC of this story? Maya or FuckFace? (To give props to DPC, this has become better in last 2 episodes because of the implementation of the hangouts mechanic, where I can actively choose who I want to see on my screen.)

Concluding, the problem isnt Maya, its the way that ALL THE MCs are always "story forced" right in the middle of MAYAs drama in exactly the same fashion (being in a relationship with her or not) to the point that I get chills on my spine everytime she appears on the screen

As to what you said about Sage, it clearly shows that you never really played her path or if you did you didnt pay close attention. Everyone in the lust triangle between MC, Sage and Chad is a cheater in almost the same amount of measure (altough for different reasons). But saying that Sage is "not a good person at all while jealous and angry. Pretty damn bad actually." and completely missing what Chads affair did to her mentally AND assuming that she fucks the MC just "out of spite"? Its your opinion and thank you for sharing it . Even though, I would say that you should play her path to understand some of the deeper meanings behind Sages actions

PS: Jesus, I have written a whole essay . I guess I missed writing here more than I thought

 

[ename144]

Maya's problem is that Maya doesn't want to solve her problems, but wants someone to do it for her. As I said, this is her character trait. She's so used to it that her father decides everything for her and doesn't even risk finding a job on her own, lol. And those who can help her do not understand anything about it. МС repaired the mansion and fucked chicks throughout season 2 (I would do the same in his place), and Josie seems to also care about her problems and parties in HOTs.

I don't think that's quite right. Maya did try to solve her problems with the free tuition. She was actively working to complete the Scavenger Hunt and does eventually do so. She is clearly willing to work to solve her problem. The problem is that she expects to solve the problem in one fell swoop and has ignored any other possible options. She's basically looking for get-rich-quick schemes rather than trying to build her wealth slowly.

It makes some sense given how Patrick raised her - indeed, I think you could say her covert defiance of his ultimatum is a bigger deal than it initially appears - but Maya is still suffering from her lack of experience.

Ironically, only Sage is really interested in solving her problems, whereas her closest people, such as Derek, MC and Josie literally don't care about her.
I do not know if it was done on purpose or by accident, but it suggests certain thoughts.

Yeah, this is more or less my primary complaint. Maya and Josy have been my top priority as a player since Episode 4 made clear both their situation and their feelings for the MC. I find it extremely frustrating that the MC frequently ignored their situation as much as possible throughout Season 2.

Hell, even in the wake of the crossroads, I'm still unsure the MC will consider them a priority going into Episode 9 thanks to DPC cutting to his lame cliffhanger before the MC discusses his decision with the girls.

With Maya, I think so she loves the MC too, despite the drama. The MC sends her a heart via text message and Maya sends him one back. This is actually in my playthrough the first real expression of love from the MC and from a LI for the MC.

Maya definitely has strong feelings for the MC, but it's hard to gauge exactly how strong when she's so desperate for any help. Personally, I'd put her and Sage a step behind Josy, but well ahead of Jill and Bella (and Quinn if you're wondering, with Zoey even farther back in last place).

Jill would be up there with Maya and Sage if not for her inane behavior leading up to her second date. If Jill is so superstitious that the MC tending to a sick friend is enough to permanently seal her branch, her feelings couldn't have been that strong to begin with. YMMV.

Quinns interactions with the MC are too cute.
