Of course it would be good for Quinn to get leverage on Lily. But the stuff about getting knowledge on the prostitution ring and stuff all happened back in Ep 6 or 7. Where their relationship is by the end of Ep 10 when Rio gets taken is a whole new world with those two. You're right about we'll see what happens in the future. That's why I'm just theorizing these things now. I absolutely am aware that I could be so dead wrong.Quinn asks Tommy about trusting Lily since Lily came into knowledge about the prostitution ring, and while yes it is fully possible that Lily might become Quinn's partner in the future, such remains to be seen, and Quinn is still not including Lily in her business by episode 10, if Quinn does so in the future, we'll see. Lily herself said that it must be frustrating for Quinn not having anything on her, but Lily being aware of the prostitution ring and drug dealing means that she does have something on Quinn, it would be a good idea for Quinn to try and find leverage on Lily.
And for realism in drug dealing, Buddy being a supplier doesn't want his subordinates wasting their time fighting each other, as they're supposed to be bringing him money, not competing with each other for the same clients. When did I ever even mention an "equal share" of any market? The market is divided between his dealers, how equal it is, is irrelevant. Buddy has his dealers divided into particular market shares so that they don't compete with each other, the size of said market share is not elaborated on, besides noting that they exist. Seems like a fairly basic concept. Like just basic simple organization. Do I really have to explain this shit? They literally talk about who's territory they're on when they're talking at the party, and Lily and the other strippers were on Vinny's turf, B&R is Quinn's turf, it's literally stated in the game.
And it's not a question that Buddy is involved with Rio's kidnapping, you literally see Mick (who is Buddy's muscle) helping Vinny kidnap her, they use Mick's blue van that Mick was using to stalk Rio.
You are also correct that you did not say equal market share. That was my words and my bad. As far as talking about territory, we're talking about drug dealers who, like you said, don't like each other. You don't have to explain anything to me. I played the game and read the dialogue. All I'm saying is, you can't completely trust the dialogue when they interact. Two people talking isn't a narrative for the game. It's a narrative of their personalities and conflicts. But going with what you said about Quinn and Vinny being antagonists to each other, I'm sure Buddy isn't trying to babysit which is why he never technically downplayed Quinn's boost in sales. It was really only Vinny questioning that and it seems whatever happens, Buddy "owes it to Rox" no matter how much or how little he trusts Quinn. So I think Vinny is more likely to be ousted if conflict continues because in the end, Buddy just wants his money and he doesn't care where it comes from.
That's all I'm really saying. We can keep butting heads about what's happening and who said what and what does it really mean but ultimately, I'm just theorizing here. Neither of us is really right or wrong here. We just have to wait to see how it plays out when these episodes get released.
