About a potential "time skip" (too many comments to quote), there pretty much has to be one, or at least a significant acceleration of the amount of time passing per episode. Ep. 5 revealed that Bella teaches a class and MC is supposed to take it next semester. That wouldn't have been introduced if it wasn't going to come into play. So if nothing else, we're going to need to advance to next semester, and if we do it at the same rate we've been going that'll take about 50 episodes.
Have to disagree on this. Context says Chad is talking to her already and then the game giving this straight look on girls, clear "show, don't tell" technique which DPC's using quite often and effectively enough to my liking. I mean, of course it's still possible for any of thouse girls to be secret Chad's lover but, given this scene, it would be retarded.
n theory she could be talking to Chad on a pinktooth headset, but it would be a real stretch. Who has phone sex when they're jogging on a treadmill? Wrong type of heavy breathing! I'd certainly call foul if that turns out to be the reveal.
Well... yeah, you guys are right. It's definitely an imperfect solution. The problem is we're rapidly running out of proper suspects for Chad's lover that aren't going to be straight out of nowhere. Also, I'm not sure why Mel would call Chad about MC and Sage otherwise, except just to be a bitch... which, while not out of character, doesn't really seem like the vibe that scene was trying to portray (since Mel follows it up by seeking reassurance from Sarah that she'll have her back if/when things get bad).
So yeah, your criticisms of the theory are valid, I just don't have a better one.
I was thinking about that,what if Quinn and Tommy are working together for being the presidentes of the DIKs and the HOTs? If the school blames Rusty for the pic of Cathy he is out of the president charge for sure and then Tommy gets his place. And with Quinn if she is behind of the Chad cheating and make him break up with Sage and then Sage feels a bad for that, Quinn plays the card of "Sage is not in condition of being the president". Is how you say it Sage is against the prostitution and drugs things and for me thats enough reason for Quinn wanting Sage out of the game.
Quinn is clearly trying to get Sage to step down so she can take over, mostly by making it seem like the stuff Quinn is doing is Sage's fault (and it's sort of working, see Heather and Riona's convo in Ep. 5). She could just wait, given that Sage is graduating anyway, but Quinn doesn't strike me as reasonable or patient.
As for Tommy, I don't think he wants to be president: the way things are now he basically gets all the power while Rusty does all the work, and I think that's exactly how he likes it. And even if he did want Rusty out, there's clearly no conspiracy between he and Quinn, or at least not after Ep. 5, where Tommy basically tells Quinn to fuck off.
Have to disagree with this. That scene was the entire point of picking the Bella door for people that are pursuing Bella.
Now I actually disagreed with DPC splitting the paths that early in the game, but since he did it, then there needs to be meaningful differences to the door one picks, otherwise what's the point?
Foregoing the multiple sexual encounters available via staying with Sage for that 1 insightful scene with Bella (believe me no one picked it just to play the Watering the plants mini-game) was the price one pays for those interested in Bella.
Meaningful differences require meaningfully different results. That scene is a pivotal relationship building scene between Bella and MC, and a landmark character moment for Bella individually. Despite this, missing out on it changes nothing going forward: it doesn't impede your ability to pursue Bella, nor does it change how you and she interact. And given the context of the scene, it really should. If you wanted to make that scene a meaningful reward for choosing the Bella route, then the Bella route needs to change based on whether or not you made that choice. As it stands now, it didn't.
