acewinz is technically correct. The person complaining about aces in 21 blackjack has apparently only played computer Blackjack. The ace rule varies from casino to casino. Some 'houses" hit and some house stay on soft 17 or soft 18 (ace + 7 or 8 is 'soft'). Never seen a soft 16 rule before.
ALSO... I thought the disappearing save posts were pure fiction BUT... I noticed all my saves were missing too. All the save game folders were empty. I went to C:\Users\*username*\AppData\roaming\Renpy and found an old installation folder and copied the save from there to a USB stick. I then copied them to my current install folder (I think the AppData folder) and they all worked.
I never delete saves (now) until I verify the new install works adn that the saves are there. I'd recommend backing them up to another folder before install a new version. If I'm low on HD space I'll delete everything but the save folder. (I drag it to the main folder with collegebound.exe for example) and delete all the other files (except save of course).
Great characters by the way. Blanca is my favorite, we should be dating her instead. Don't get me wrong the main love interest is Super Cute, but being a college age male of course he's banging anything that moves. He's too young to settle down and be exclusive. IMHO.
