After all this time playing the game, I still don't get how the social standing system works. What rises standing with each group? How do you rise it fastest? What matters the most? I start as outcast (goth) the first objective is Dimka's party without losing virginity until then. The second objective is Albina starlets.
I first tried going after cool kids by starting in june and talking with them at the disco. This gave me Katja right away, but couldn't get Vicky too since beach event requires non-virgin. Also I didn't know what would raise standing in class. Like "don't pay attention to class", "daydream" or "play on the phone"? And then you get some random options for the "daydream" and "play on the phone".
So since the meter raised too slowly it was obvious I didn't know what I'm doing, reloaded from before school start and tried to go after Gopniks. This is where things started to go really damn weird. At reload point i was Tolerated with gopniks. Disco drank all the gopniks apart from Vitek to "best friend" and the standing gone to Disliked. I was like WTF?
Nonetheless continued with gopniks, getting Anushka before school season started, rising Vitek at Shulgin's place (so he doesn't hit me with "be my gf" at the disco) and skipping classes, but again I figured I didn't know what I was doing since I skipped the whole damn semester and only got it back to Tolerated.
So reloaded and gone for the Nerds. Should be simple, I thought. Dress conservative uniform, get Natasha, Julia, Artem, pay attention to classes and "relax in classroom" talking to them every break (all nerds are relationship 100 and each break I pick one at random). It still doesn't seem to be enough. I'm almost half December and the standing meter is at half saying Liked.
Natasha is doing homework naked and has few more days until second loan timelimit passes so I could get her blow Kolka. I have Julia doing lesbian sex each time I go with wine. And I have Artem on one talk (in his room) away from "drink this wine mother gave and be my girlfriend" which I avoid. Also after school and homework I talk with Evgeny at the chess club until about 20:00, having chess at 85 now and him being the only option left to beat on Saturday.
What the hell I'm doing wrong? It is actually impossible to get into a clique before Dimka's party or i'm missing something?

Depends. If all 8 different events already happened, no. If you only had a kind of those events I guess not. At least I had more than 8 times there if I'm mistaken.
I don't dislike this quest chain, but would be nice to have some engagement or even maybe an option to have a relationship with Albina afterwards those main events.
You can the list of events
You must be registered to see the links
. Be careful of some minor spoilers on that wikipedia in case you don't want btw. Not big imo though, and I'm a guy who despises spoilers.
I also think there should be a follow-up after the investigation, but based on choices.
For example if you don't testify her father should escape the investigation, rape Albina, bribe everyone, make you leader of starlets (also his bitch) and give you the ability to whore out other girls in that group (including a now meek Albina). Much like sim brothel style.
While if you side with Albina and testify, she should continue the starlets for a time without whoring out anyone. But after a time let's say event happens where you fuck someone after a show, he pays you and you convince now a financially struggling Albina to start whoring you girls out again.
Some events increase that. Examples are people lifing the shirt on classes or getting drunk with the girls. It takes quite some time, but it graduality increases. Basicly events that take willpower. Also, if I'm not mistaken, arousal also influentiates that, if I'm mistaken please someone correct me.
I can't test it right now, but I was wondering (when I wrote that) about those events that I get quite often in school. There is one that lifts your skirt and you get several options starting with "ignore it". Wondering if ignore it gives you any Exhibitionism points. There is the one where I think some boy touches your butt and also starts with "ignore it". And finally there's the one where some dude takes down your skirt and you can "bend over" costing some willpower. Wondering how much this last one increases Exhibitionism too, if any at all.
Since I started in June and those school events weren't available, the best way to increase exhibitionism if you don't want to flash in the park is the metro if you have cheat money. You get 1 or 2 "return the favor" per day when the blacks flash at you and might also get a female flashing too. The blacks are almost guaranteed at least once in a day of metroing (granted there were days when I didn't get them and had to reload).
