It seems like those 4 scenes are pretty much guaranteed. Only thing is... what I've seen from Caribdis so far, he wouldn't like for all the scenes to be so easy guessable months before the update comes out. Maybe he is throwing something in just to make sure people are not correct? Just like most people did not expect Nova getting two scenes back to back.
The scenes are pretty guessable since Cari is trying to spread the time between the girls evenly. If Penny didn't get a scene in an update, you would expect her to get one in the next update, etc.

The thing is, as we get closer to the Harem forming, we have to expect more girls to get scenes back-to-back. It will be unavoidable, so I don't see the point in trying to hide it after threesomes/foursomes become the norm.

...How far are you into the story, exactly? Coz if you finished up to the latest update, you'd understand why that isn't exactly possible.
OK, I'm all caught up now. While you say that isn't exactly possible, I'm not sure it's actually impossible. That said, Jerry's more recent behavior makes me agree with you about throwing himself into extreme situations to try to level up. His motivations are a lot clearer now, too: he wants respect, something he apparently doesn't have IRL, but something he once had (at least, to a point) when he had been level 39. As the new leader of the Ishani, I think he'll be much more likely to find the respect he's sought. The WRE certainly will likely respect him as their point of contact on the Valley of Kings server. He's turned a corner in his character development and should hopefully be much better going forward.

I said what I said because Eternum isn't a VRMMO and that Jerry doesn't have the same abilities that Orion has at the moment. And before you bring up Nova's "hacking" of Ogygia as proof that Eternum itself can be manipulated via tech (and thus vulnerable to "exploits"), there's a running theory that Idriel basically assisted Nova in that endeavor but made it look like the latter was the one who did it, likely to prevent the Founder from tracing the assist back to the former.

Fair, and I do realize that's much less likely since it's not a VRMMO. But there have been turns in the story that at least I personally didn't expect early on, so saying "impossible" is a bit silly. Anything is possible, so long as it fits within rules that Caribdis has created for the story. I'm sure there are still rules that haven't been revealed yet. I wouldn't assume anything, regardless of what running theories (i.e., not necessarily truths) currently suggest.

The point being is that the direction of the story has been leaning more and more towards the supernatural and fantastical rather than sci-fi. Every single foreshadowing, every single plot twist and resolution all had a supernatural/fantasy slant to it that you can argue that this AVN is a supernatural/fantasy game masquerading as a sci-fi story. So to basically undermine that by having a twist that goes "SIKE! Just kidding the VRMMO is in fact a VRMMO so Jerry can use exploits" just doesn't compute, honestly.

It’ll be interesting to see how Calypso fits into the story now that she’s back in her realm. I don’t think Calypso's story will end here,
Now we know that Cali couldn't use the exit portals because she isn't an astral projection , Cali was physically there on eternum , my question is : if Mc can bring people from the real world into eternum , can MC bring Cali into the real word? .
that would be an excellent twist , Cali celebrating Christmas with the Carters .:love::love:
maybe is there when Cali put her star on top of Mc Christmas tree !:devilish:

anyone have save file and complete scene?
There's a walkthrough for all current content, and Ctrl-skipping is a wonderful feature available in Ren'Py. If you don't care anything at all about the current story, it won't take you very long to get all existing content and make a save for yourself.

You're thinking too literally, though, as an "exploit" meaning something specifically technology- / computer-related. What I'm saying is that there's too much blurring of the lines to rule certain things out. The cube technology that suddenly makes an NPC mindlessly follow commands would, under a normal gaming view, be considered a "hack" or "exploit". And yet, it's been demonstrated at least twice already to "bend" things to a user's will. So for all the vehemence you use trying to argue against things I've said, you seem conveniently to ignore things like this.
Cube "tech" is something that's based on "existing Eternum 'tech'" as per Linus' words, so it counts as a magical artifact (or more accurately, a copy of one), and not truly tech (hence why I'm ignoring it). Also, can you really count it as an exploit when the ability to use it exists in the normal game (see: Caly's prison) and that the reason the Praetorians are having a fit about it is not because it gives players an "unfair advantage" but because it threatens to upend the VRMMO's masquerade?

Pretending that there's no possible way anyone could take advantage of a weakness in the system — again, I'm not saying this is a VRMMO or anything similar, and I'm not saying (anymore) that Jerry himself does this — seems to me to be ignoring information we already know.
That's not what I was arguing tho? I was arguing that Eternum is a supernatural plane of existence so you can't manipulate its very nature using code or tech (otherwise The Founder would be god already). Granted, you can use science to do shit like mass-producing Xenomorphs and the like, but as the mysterious guy at the Ulysses party said that's just basically people using tech on tech rather than the kind of godlike stuff you can do using devtools or hacking if it was an actual game.

I mean if Idriel really has some form of foresight/prescience then it tracks that she knows where Orion and his group were REALLY going (which is why I think she smirked at him before sending him off), hence why she would give them a helping hand (especially since she's the one making the portal system possible). The Praetorians and the mercs being sent there are basically just a formality at that point.

She's not the one making the portal system possible or operational. It was the founder who kept it in place and Idriel doesn't have any control over it, also why Calypso or anybody for that matter can access Hyril'ar with the portal system cuz that's just another mechanic in the game "Eternum" that the founder made. Also Idriel wouldn't know where Mc is if he's taking the fast route, by which he could probably even traverse to Hyril'ar in the next update after all he's been there now
Edit : also Idriel said she couldn't do anything and she's powerless in the real world. So if she could actually control the whole thing she could do much more... That is unless she didn't want to help Orion...

Annie has a family who likely wants her home for the holidays. Her sneak is possibly her making a video call to Orion and the Carters while she's back in the UK for the time being.

View attachment 5216827

Nova has a family so can't really see how she could join the trip. Same with Luna. Alex is disowned so there's really no issue to her getting dragged to the trip (other than possibly her muttering "Bah! Humbug!" on their way to the ski resort).

Then again, Cari could be lying with these sneaks again and that everyone is actually there, just like how he omitted Orion in this particular sneak...

...when he's actually part of the shot in the actual update.

View attachment 5216850

I have family too, but never really celebrate Christmas. I am an atheist. My family accepts it. I also live 10000km away from my family so I rarely visit them anyway (about the same distance US to europe, I am from Germany but live in China now).

I hve very good relations with my family but you wont see me celebrating any religious holiday or its perverted nowaday versions of it (christmas was 150 years ago really diferent) . I am the kind of guy who gives spontanious presents out not on some fixed day ^^

To make it short, it is not necessarily plausible to travel to the UK for some holiday, the travel time is aroiund 9 to 12 hours depending on where Kredon is supposed to be located. it isnt worth the money and time .
