Hey I'm a bit confused about the elf "chains" here. Currently playing Nia's "going out" event where you go to the juicy burger, and I see Nia wearing this huge rusty chain with padlock, but when I'm out with Lin in any of the other story elements she doesn't have anything like that on. Does her little fabric choker count for the same in the eyes of the law?

That would kinda make sense in a way. But if that was an option. Why would Nia, especially with her place in the story, (avoiding sploilers here) want to wear such a chain if a piece of cloth is also okay?

I suppose another alternative is that Lin is skirting the law massively by being out with just the choker, but that also feels weird. I really don't see her as the kind of elf that would do that. Especially since she also goes to the grocery store by herself. Surely she wouldn't want to be caught without "regulation" chain? Especially when her owner isn't there either.

I may just be reading way too much into this, but I don't really undestand the "rules" for when they're required.

Oh yeah and quick ninja edit, I've really been enjoying this update Runey, thanks for your hard work:)

I would imagine the collars indicate to everyone how troublesome an elf can be. Lin, with a dainty little collar, is immediately seen as a well trained slave, whereas Nia, wearing that large, cumbersome collar, is shown to be a slave in training.

For GUI Runey I noticed that when an event is going on (eg. the holiday with Emma and Felicity) you can't look at the girls and stat screen. I would like to have that option.

Otherwise I've started fresh with 0.16 and like the Caliber explore option, even so that I "paused" the game to play through this side content first.:D
I think the money problem was defuse quite a bit. Still needed to wait some weeks until I could buy Silvia and the bar has accumulated the sum, but I've spend my money after I had the bar on everything possible. Also, as others, I never sell the pinups.:LOL:
I don't see it as a problem though as I had enough to do with the other girls, the dungeon and so on.

Those collars are required for elves in public, for whatever reason cops just haven't harassed MC about Lin yet. It happened with Sylvia in one of her love route events. Cloth doesn't count, as Sylvia has a form of a choker as well.

Neither did Cornwall though, and if anyone would care...

*EDIT*
Maybe it's because Lin's is part of her uniform, not her personal clothing.

This was my take as well. Everyone we've met that was a slave, other than maybe the Elf-Queen fake (don't remember), has worn a collar while in public. If they didn't, they weren't actively a slave (Sylvia's first intro) or immediately collared once identified (name omitted to avoid spoilers). Private locations such as the slave building and one used for Cornwell's challenge, none wear collars. Jin, when first brought to us is wearing a collar - in theory, since she was traveling in public.

That might be a freebie with explaining Lin. She's the "help" and being accompanied by her owner. Her chasing you down when kidnapped would have been hampered if she had been seen by an officer though most like. Also when you meet Cornwell it's what... at a park for a speech? He's one of the richest / most influential people in the world, there would have been a police presence yet no one stopped the MC at that time. So we either hand-wave it by or accept that Lin's uniform collar was adequate but Sylvia's was not because it wasn't an actual uniform?

Yeah, with Sylvia, she is wearing something that looks more like cosplay than anything else. But a maid's uniform, that is clear as day.
IDK, maybe she is lowjacked (chipped).

It's more of a cultural thing than a legal thing. If you run into a cop trying to find a reason to give you a ticket, he can use not having a collar as a reason. But a cop isn't likely to stop his car while on patrol to give someone a small fine. And most people in general aren't going to care what an elf is wearing because they all know there is no getting out of slavery. The collar was always symbolic.
