VN Ren'Py Karlsson's Gambit [v0.8.2A Final] [Grym Gudinna Games]

[Stan5851]

Wholeheartedly agree for Veronica. She's brilliant, multiple characters have extolled her genius, and her research could very well save lives.

Most of the other daughters also seem to be intelligent, and have a necessary skillset with logistics, finance, operations, and so on.
The exception is Juliette. Outside of cruelty and depravity, she doesn't seem to contribute anything.

Well, she's got a great ass and she's sexy enough. But other than kidding, she's supposedly really good at what she does (Revenue, Sales and Marketing).

The other thing is that no explicit evidence of this has been seen by the players yet, and all we can rely on in this matter is the scene of Sunshine13's successful slave sale, which is more of a credit to Kane than Juliette, btw. Speaking of irreplaceable..You can't replace a brilliant scientist, but you can very well replace a cruel sadistic marketer.

What? She is a great meat-seller, if you catch my drift. It's her department, after all.

Clearly you've never been corporate) It's always the other way around, sadly. Engineers and other specialists get shafted by clueless corpo-rats who get golden parachutes. Fuck the marketing department, more useless than Thad, every single one of them.

BTW, I wonder who Juliette is selling the slaves to? Because if you think about it, the other powerful players on this continent (like New Paris or DeKocks) have plenty of obedient slaves of their own. Maybe, of course, the Joy facility slaves are more docile than the others. But in general, this topic isn't covered enough, or maybe I missed something.

Considering her temperament, it's probably the Soylent Green plant.

I understand that perfectly well. I just don't think that the shortcomings of the functioning of a real corporation in our world should be transferred to the world of dystopia, where the Karlsson Group has its own internal laws of functioning and its own special rigid hierarchy.

She brings in the moola.

May be slightly forgetting (had this convo before with others) that not everyone lives in South Africa....major population perhaps yes, but not everyone,. The world has not collapsed to the point that Southern Africa is the only safe place to live.

 

[Dr. Mick]

Of any of the departments in companies I've worked for in the past, marketing and sales had the highest turnover.
So, I'd say that's just one more reason why she's expendable.

That, and I don't like her, lol.

I think the biggest disaster for Juls would not even be her sudden death, but her slavery to Kane..Imagine the humiliation of her, who has never (well, almost never, hehe) kneeled before a powerful man, when she realizes that she is no one and just our property. I think Juliette would look good sitting on a leash near Kane's throne. Too bad that scenario is unlikely to be possible.

I'd prefer to maroon her on a deserted island, where she has everything she needs to survive, yet is all alone and has to do everything for herself.
Considering how inept she is at doing anything herself, she might simply die of starvation. Slowly, and in agony.
Or, she lives out the rest of her days alone, separated from anyone she could abuse, and without amenities, help, or companionship of any kind.

You know...I think you should tell us how you really feel

The last member of the board is the super-AI that controls the whole complex and wants to look innocent, but is not .

I'm just now playing Cyberpunk 2077 and going through the "Rise of Machines" quest, where you have to help a self aware super AI quell a rebellion of its individual parts. And you know what, I think everyone would be better off if this didn't happen to KG.. Because as a Boardman, one day Sparks might have enough common sense to realize that few of the sadistic bitches around him are worthy of living.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Tess doesn't think so. As I've already written, if we're talking about a conditionally good ending, which includes the revival of life on the mainland, then a necessary condition for its achievement (according to Tess herself) will be the preservation of the lives of all Project participants, including Veronica. So no, she cannot be replaced and no quantity will ever change into quality. Otherwise she wouldn't be a genius, but just another "ordinary" scientist.

You're talking about One world state; I'm talking about beyond. Hell, according to Tess, quite a few people are needed for that ending to be achieved; it's not just Veronica.
But if one is like me and could care less about that state, Veronica's importance is minimal, and she is very replaceable. Her genius is very much overstated because she's the only one with access to the toys she has. My Kane is not Alexander, and he will not have one person have that much power over the goings-on of the place, and that's regardless of Veronica's ultimate fate.

I think Juliette is the less relevant of the sisters, mainly because i don´t know much about her operations, except that one scene where Kane sell a slave to a couple. Marketing sales is a difficult sector, so she must be very good at it but the question is if nobody could lead her department if she dies, i´m pretty sure other sisters like Dominique could take her department and manage it well, or other girl from the femdom school they have around there (i don´t remember the name of that thing).

BTW, I wonder who Juliette is selling the slaves to? Because if you think about it, the other powerful players on this continent (like New Paris or DeKocks) have plenty of obedient slaves of their own.

I suppose to other people outside Africa , but i have never asked myself about this... Or maybe she sells the slaves to the KG girls and the DeKocks because there are many girls who kill their slaves and need a constant supply of slaves, i don´t know.

Heh,...certainly plausible.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Juliette probably sells slaves to whoever has the money for them. I assume since their Karlsson slaves they get sold at a premium but she's likely the one who brings in the money.

The way I see it with the four sisters
1. Veronica- deals with the science and inventions
2. Juiliette - Money maker
3. Dominique- Obtains the important raw materials necessary to keep the organization running.
4. Alessandra- brings in the clientele deals with the stakeholders

Im sure its more complicated than that, Im just simplifying things.

 

[Sharpshooter890]

Alessandra was described as a CFO - that's arguably the most important position in the company after CEO. And judging by what we see in the game, she's very at at it.
The most useless sister is Olivia, and by a very large margin, that's why I hope she can earn something through her skills rather than nepotism.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Just to be clear my previous post wasn't a ranking, just my listing the sisters in random order.

True enough but she's barely been there and to be fair all the sisters have gotten there by nepotism

 

[Stan5851]

1. Veronica- deals with the science and inventions

She also runs the Prisons and is the head of the Intelligence. And if I'm not mistaken, Vi the only one of the sisters who is Kiyomi's most capable student and can stand up for herself. Of course, she's still a long way from Kiyomi's level of fighting prowess, but our reserved and somewhat shy scientist can easily wring the neck of just about anyone, even without the help of her subordinates, Kiyomi and Deadly Vipers. This, BTW, breaks the usual stereotype of the girl scientist as a nerd with thick horn-rimmed glasses who is not interested in anything but the formulas of higher math/physics/chemistry and her own scientific research.

We also know a lot about Dominique's business activities and understand the approximate range of her additional (voluntary) duties related to the Project. In fact, it would be great if Tess could tell us what Juliette and Alessandra are like in terms of their actual business acumen, because so far all we know about these two is their sexual preferences, kinks and perversions..Yes, I realize we're playing the porn game, but it would be great to push the boundaries and learn more about each sister.
