Well really, getting Maxine to help push Meredith over the edge actually is plot development.
From a Watsonian perspective, I don't see how Maxine helps with that. The MC already has Meredith wrapped around his finger (unless we chose to sabotage his efforts). Adding another woman to the mix seems more likely to raise Meredith's guard and disrupt her connection to the MC - especially if you were pushing Attraction rather than Corruption - than it is to break down whatever barriers are left.
I suppose you could think of it as the MC trying to make Meredith more comfortable with her overwhelming desire. Seeing Maxine's exuberant and utter devotion may help her with her own (by now) insatiable desire and tip the scales of her internal conflict. This would fit well with both a compassionate and loving attraction approach and the idea of corrupting her completely. Sometimes you do what is necessary because it is the right thing to do. Sometimes you do it because you can.
Hehe..Jeez, Mav... who wouldn't want to argue with you? Given the chance...
Once again, I'm sure you just like being pedantic and argumentative for the sake of it, with me at least if no one else.
There's a fair bit of plot development, it seems to me with this update things are really picking up pace.
Because the dev wanted to get something out for supporters to show what they've been working on I presume...
