Well i have J&M in three different playthroughs now... equal, josy favor and maya favor... but did many more, though i deleted them... i made a dik and neutral run too for example... but they didnt felt good.
The equal path does not really exist, at least at this point... No matter what you do, you will have some RP more for maya or Josy, and who ever does have more, will get the date-scene (aka ILY scene) in ep 11, you cant avoid that. I have made a perfect equal run, and still got the scene with Maya. Though you have the choice to dont say ILY back, but it doesnt change the fact that you will get the date, and she will tell it the MC.
MAYBE ep12 will make the equal path possible again, so the other girl will get a ILY scene too... to even out things. But it doesnt look like it. At this point Josy and Maya are pretty much seperated, and i dont see how this will change and that all three will be happy together...
The scene with Neil was more than a hint to that "one will be getting hurt"... its basically a promise.
Iam convinced, there will never be a throuple in the end.
To be on the "safe" side for all playthroughs... just play a J&M playthrough until episode 5, the real branching starts at the end of episode 5 overall. After the party when you either can go with Maya or Josy... thats the first real heavy branching choice...
In my equal playthrough i go with Josy in ep 5 and later in ep 7 i visit Maya... the ep 7 scene with Maya is soooo wholesome, and grants you the possibilty to creampie her in episode 8. She is more open in the hot tub threesome too if you visited her in episode 7. For Josy there are no changes if you dont visit her in EP7... so yeah... ep5 Josy, and ep 7 maya is the best for an equal run in my opinion... and you will get in the end of the halloween episode the dialoge that they are all equaly experienced...
In ep10 if you are on an equal path, the branches will be set again to "seperate" them... cause you can either get an extra scene with maya OR Josy, not both.
So if you dont want to create three different playthroughs starting with episode 5.... you can just make an equal run until episode 10 too, and go from there in favor to either Josy or Maya. Most heavy branching points at that point are the choice if you either get the maya or Josy scene in ep 10, and afterwards if you got the contract for Maya or not. If you are equal until ep 10, its still very easy to turn the route into favor Josy or Maya without having to count each Relationshippoints... But no matter what you do, after episode 10 one girl will have more points than the other... no matter what.
*Edit* oh and chick is the best for Josy and Maya... there are no extra dik or neutral options in the choices (especially during lewd scenes), but as a chick you get some. Its not much, but at least something (i like the chick option with maya in ep 7 very much... thats love making)... Though there are some funny scenes as a Dik with Josy, but only 2 or 3 stillrenders in total. Not really worth it. As neutral you dont have anything "positive" in a J&M playthrough, you miss out on the chick scenes, and dont get DIK scenes either... you basically get nothing extra as neutral... neutral is a waste of time for a J&M playthrough. Though many think its the most "natural" MC... but i dont think so... more like... shizo. Cause you have to make choices to stay neutral that dont fit each other.
