Doesn't sound right to me lol you made me double check and each party is definitely in the 100,000 points range and they're all S tier parties.

Not sure which party you're talking about, but I haven't seen a "Pink Weiß"-less Halloween party with more than 7.0x, which led me to believe that its hard to overcome that crutch. If you do have one with 7.75 multiplier, you're really gonna fuck with my mind cuz I'm gonna spend forever trying to figure out what layout it was and how.

I thought this too, and then I tried to do the Halloween Party with the "Easy to Please" perk and it just wasnt beating the benefit of using no cups for beer. My score and even total happiness was lower.

I feel the opposite. Halloween party was very beer heavy with the Diks needing 14 of them and Thanksgiving was also beer heavy with the Diks needing 11. Christmas was the first one in which the Diks didn't really ask for a lot of beer with 4 needed by Jacob and Tommy and 5 needed to fulfill the MC's general task. Sure, DPC throws in the occasional "We need cups" or "we need trash cans" but like I said before I just don't think those compensate for the utility of being able to place those cups wherever you want if you need to, or not placing them at all if that helps you. I just haven't seen a better score without Pink Weib/haven't been able to do it.

Yeah DPC really fucked us on that one. Genuinely a dick move, especially after making the MC only at 10% happiness. Least he could do is throw us some extra happiness for him based on other decisions, but no...

Here's a Halloween Party with 7.75x and no Pink WeiB. As far as I've found, this is only possible on 1 of the 5 random grids, whereas 7.75x is possible on 2 of the 5 grids with Pink WeiB.

Starting inventory was 1 Food, 1 Keg, 1 Liquor, and 2 Speakers.

Here's the Halloween Party score I got for that 7.75x Layout with DIK Party.

As for the other 4 possible Halloween grids, 7.25x is possible without Pink WieB on 3 of them, and 7.0x possible on the last. Same starting Inventory as the first. Several of these have some alternate layouts that have the same multiplier, but might cost $1-2 more. I've included the "cheapest" version here since it gives more "buffer" for people with different starting inventory. (Note that in some of the screenshots I may have had $4 extra because I had Crowdfunding at the time).

Generally speaking, I've found in my testing that Pink WeiB allows for 0-2 more Needs to be fulfilled in Episode 9 (0 more Needs on 1 grid, 1 more on 1 grid, and 2 more on 3 grids), 0-1 more Needs to be fulfilled in Episode 10 (0 more Needs on 2 grids, and 1 more Need on 3 grids), and provides essentially no benefit in Episode 11.

In comparison, the perks DIK Party and Multiplier Madness provide effectively the same point bonus as fulfilling 2 Needs (assuming you have 3 Activities and have 7+ DIKs at 50+ happiness). They add on average 10-11K total points each. But thats on every single grid rather than circumstantial.

Actually fulfilling more Needs does of course provide a Happiness boost as well that caries over to further rounds. But it's 14 points different for each fulfilled Need, which is nice, but not huge.

It'd be like the elevator scene from The Shining in my house, but jizz :BootyTime:

Nice self-own :KEK:

But real talk, it won't be either. He's been using a pre-selected pool of side girls to choose from.

Lily won for Episode 11, so it'll either be Cammy, Jade, Nora or Quinn. But Cinderella becomes a candidate, since he didn't want to ruin the surprise :cool:

As much as I love my girl Cammy, I'll keep my fingers crossed for Nora.

Trouple Path fans being pissed at the idea of not being able to get both girls at the same time after 7 episodes of trouple content.

Meanwhile players on Others Path after 7 episodes of scaps of content and waiting 15 months for 0 solo Josy content:

Nice job! Very cool, thanks for sharing. You guys have convinced me, Pink Weib isn't necessary.

Any insight on the Thanksgiving Party? :LOL:
Click to expand...
Sure thing! Overall, I haven't been able to get a multiplier quite as high as in Episode 9, even with Pink WeiB.

For Thanksgiving party planner, here's some of the best ones I've found without Pink WeiB for each of the 5 layouts. Some of these may require Crowdfunding or lowering some of your Activities for enough Money. Do not under any circumstances pick B.Y.O.B, Hot Dogs, or Nothing however if your aim is maximize your score and rank.

Starting Inventory for all these examples was 1 Drug, 1 Food, 1 Keg, 2 Liquor, and 2 Speakers.

A note about the 1 Drug: that's mostly included in inventory to satisfy Jacob's need rather than Tommy's (though I did manage to make use of 2 Drugs on one layout). However, you get slightly more points from the Active Item and Efficiency Bonus if you place it next to Tommy (even though Tommy needs 2 Drugs to satisfy his need). Having 1 Drugs in inventory here also sets us up nicely for Xmas, where having 2 Drugs in inventory is very useful.

It's kind of the same deal with the Beers near Nick on some of the layouts where he only has 1-2 near him. Technically those aren't fulfilling his Need since he requires 4 Beers, but they are giving some Efficiency Bonus. And I couldn't find a better layout by moving them away, so why not pick up an extra 100-200 base points?

1. Camila / 2. Jade are just f-buddies, and the 2nd Camila animation was with a Sage path one time only. So it has to be along her Others path. Jade might have big complications in next episode, and already got one this episode, so we can skip her again like last. Plus we skipped Cathy, so it's probably her "turn."
3. Lily is a favourite, and might get upgraded to main route status, but considering EP 11, she might be wishy-washy on what she wants. Her exposition revealed enough, so there's lots of potential for more scenes, but not necessarily sexual ones.
4. Nora would make sense, as she's the Other's "ultimate" Bella, and who knows what "more lessons" means. Everything seems positive from her. And it seems DPC is making big choices (e.g. Zoey the Destroyer of Others, Throuple Issues, Lily getting scared, Tara and Tiffani, JB and Elena, Cindy, etc.), and Nora's the most adult person out of all the LI (she knows that she wants to date toward a family, she calls it off to be professional, but is still interested.) But, for a cynical outlook, I'd dock some points off (because there're TOO MANY CHARACTERS). Plus that cat must've been more than just comic relief.
5. Best bet is Quinn, but like Lily, could go either way. Seems logical to give her a scene next episode, since we missed it. And should be given main route status at this point. And for popularity. But hard to say, as she's more main plot/antagonist, and now more tied in with Riona. Depends how DPC wants to structure a non-Others path with actual plot development with her.

So I'd vote:
35% Quinn
25% Nora
20% Lily
15% Jade
5% Camila

Lily got her special render set in Episode 11, so she's no longer in the running for the next episode.

But I can see it being either Quinn or Nora.

I download the save on front page and still didnt appear the choice to say " i love you" so basically the save on front page is useless for sage.
Click to expand...
I see a lot of people are wanting to do Sage, but the save has the Jade stuff in it.

So, I hope he doesn't mind, but I have taken SteveyP's save from the OP and removed the Jade stuff, so you can have a clean pure Sage run. (It's currently a DIK Sage Path, saved at the end of Episode 10).
