Do you have the save for the end of Episode 10?
Yes. Long story short, I thought I updated the post until a kind gentleman, who's clearly far more observant than me, let me know that I haven't. It would be up by now but I choose to extend my vacation. I won't exact details regarding dates, but I will update my post when I'm back on my home computer.

Do You Know How Much LILY Makes A Year?

I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it! :eek:

Do you know what would happen if she suddenly decided to stop going into work? :unsure:

A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up! o_O

Disappears. It ceases to exist, without her! :rolleyes:

Don't you believe me? Then let's find out together. ;)

View attachment 4408445 View attachment 4408446 View attachment 4408447 View attachment 4408448 View attachment 4408449

So... let's start with her average nights.

She says she makes somewhere between $300 to $700. We can use the arithmetic mean for the app. value:

($300 + $700) / 2 = $500

There're 7 days in a week. Let's say that she takes a day off in every week. Namely, 6 working days in a week:

$500 x 6 = $3,000

We ain't done, yet. She also says she goes to special events like a bachelor's party and can clear nearly $3.000. But it's the max value. Let's assume that she clears app. $2.000 for the special event nights. A young and sexy girl like LILY can attend these kind of special events every weekend, whether in The Pink Rose Club or individually. So let's calculate her final income for a week:

$3,000 + $2,000 = $5,000 a week

There're 52 weeks in a year. Let's say that she takes 2 weeks off in every year. Namely, 50 working weeks in a year:

$5,000 x 50 = $250,000 a year

Done? Nope! She has to pay her taxes, hasn't she? I don't live in the States, but I did some research. Let's say that the tax ratio for her yearly income is 20%... and it means:

$250,000 x (20 / 100) = $50,000 for taxes

Finally...

$250,000 - $50,000 = $200,000 a year!
Here's a more realistic breakdown:

She wouldn't work every weekday, the joint probably isn't even open every weekday. Strip joints do best on Friday and Saturdays since people typically don't work the next day.

So Friday and Saturday are the day's she'd peak. The rest of the days of the week would be shit.

Looking at this timeline, we can gauge what days she works:
  • Monday: In Episode 7 the boys are cleaning and the club is open but dead, they even comment on how sad it is. Lily isn't there.
  • Tuesday: In Episode 3 the MC goes to the Pink Rose for the first time and meets Lily. In Episode 7 Lily is chatting with the girls at the Pink Rose.
  • Wednesday: We don't know, but I'm gonna say they close midweek.
  • Thursday: In Episode 4 the MC goes to the Pink Rose if he's staying with Derek. Lily isn't there.
  • Friday: In Episode 8 we have the second cleaning day, Lily is there, but we don't know when it is, but given how well it's going, it's likely a Friday or Saturday.
  • Saturday: In Episode 5, Lily bails on the Prep Party and goes back to the Pink Rose.
  • Sunday: No details, but probably closed.
So possibly she just works three days a week, and Tuesday would be the worst ($300), with Friday and Saturday when she's raking it in ($700).

It's unlikely she's even clearing 100K a year.

Here in Sweden, Wednesday is called "Lillördag" (Lil'Saturday) and is one of the big pub/club days of the week. It's the night people go out with co-workers, classmates or friends for drinks. Instead, it's usually Mondays that are closed here.

Would you guys say Zoey is more FWB or EX. I always saw her more as a FWB then didn't realize her feeling till after she left. While the opposite for the MC but my friend was telling me how she was a EX curious did I miss something that was obvious

At the time they considered themselves FWBs, but in retrospect they realized they were actually a couple, they just didn't realize it at the time. Zoey proberbly didn't realize it until the MC told her.

More like two teenagers who didn't realize they were in love with each other, and more so on the MC's side at the time. They started out as just friends, then it turned into FWB, and then they didn't understand when it grew into serious feelings. Unfortunately for Zoey, who is not as emotionally romantic as Tremolo, this final realization came when she saw him at a campfire with other girls.

"Childhood friend " :LOL:

but seriously, since MC either can only refer her as Childhood friend or Ex Girlfriend when he talk to J.B, but also the same time some other character refer to her as MC's EX , the narative try to lean in to the EX aspect more.
It is among one of the weakes part of the game

yeah that's why part of the reason he was saying they were EX's.

I also wouldn't tell people I've met recently "Hey DIKs, that blue-haired girl I invited is my ex" given the quantum uncertainty of their relationship. :LOL: And I would have chosen a more neutral option. More truthfully, MC told Derek, she is not just my best friend, explaining so that "everything is complicated". Dude has serious confusion in his head, considering how he chases several girls at once and whines "I am so rookie in love" - not surprising.
