Dimitri. Really enjoying the game. Liking the characters and story. Big fan of love-harem games. Also really liking the Dev notes. So I can go down the route I want to. Big help. Rarely see that elsewhere.
Only thing that I didn’t enjoy was the idea that S&D would use and betray Chrissy’s sister with the Ring situation. Hope it doesn’t turn out that way
Keep up the good work

Thank you for your kind words. :love: I'm glad you are enjoying the story as much as I am telling it. :giggle:

Stan and Della know Stan's time is short and felt pressured to resort to an unpleasant tactic to win Angelica to their side. Think about all the things they both said about Chrissy and the heartfelt love they had for her, and you'll have your answer. Stan and Della are shrewd, tough people, but they are not liars.

Doesn't matter, I'd probably excuse Dee for anything she would ever do........

by definition they are liars. They had a good reason for it, but that doesn't mean they didn't lie to achieve what they wanted to.

Semantics... ;) Having the ring planted "deceived" Angelica, they didn't lie to her.

semantics, a matter of interpretation. All in all, they hid the truth from both Angelica and MC, they didn't straight up lie to their faces but it's pretty fucking close. I get the reason for it, but it ain't gonna make me like them more. They used them both to resolve the conflict faster and probably with less bloodshed so I get their motives.

The term "All's fair in love and war" must have been coined by someone who was never in love and never fought a war. "All's fair" makes the assumption that there are rules. There are no "rules" for lovers and warriors; only commitment. A lover commits all that he or she is to the ones they love. A warrior commits all that he or she is to the ones they fight beside. There's nothing "fair" about it. It's a commitment. A matter of love. A matter of honor. A soldier recognizes two realities. One that applies to his environment and one that applies to the rest of the world. In his reality there are three kinds of people - the ones he is committed to fight for and beside, the ones he is trying to kill and the ones who get in the way. On those occasions when the latter kind of people get involved "the world" tries to rationalize the result. "Friendly fire, collateral damage, human error, bad intel, plausible deniability...". These are the lies. The excuses. The rationalizations. They only apply in that "other" reality - "The World".

A 1% club lives by a code and creed similar to that of the warrior and demonstrates love by the commitment they have to one another. They have their own "reality". I don't think Ryker questions whether Quack's ring was really lying there waiting to be found for all that time. I think he knew damn well it was planted; and why, and never gave it a thought. Hell, he was there when Quack was killed and most likely saw it on his finger. Same ring, different ring, stolen ring, planted, not planted. Ryker doesn't care. Finding it is a mission accomplished. A means to an end. An excuse to kill the enemy that is trying to kill the family he wants to be a part of. A step toward protecting his family.

If you actually read all of this, you might be thinking, "Damn! That's radically antisocial!"... Well... Yeah... What's your point?

I recently told HornyyPussy that I lost some respect for them because of this. But the more time I've sat with it, the more I agree that the ends justify the means. Period. But I wouldn't have worried about whether someone else was onboard or not. While I personally wouldn't resort to plantin evidence, as I see that as a bad plan, because what happens later down the line if Angelica finds out? You can tell me till you're blue in the face that she won't, but if it was RL, there's always that chance. A chance I'm not willin to take. So, when the time was right and we were totally ready, I'd just tell her straight up that I'm takin them tf out. She can stay or she can go. Her choice. Sure she can run off to try and warn them, and that would cause some issues, but it would be too late.

I'm an asshole. I know. :ROFLMAO:

I had qualms about the deception too. Something about the way it was presented like that in a cliffhanger at the end of episode had me wondering if there was something we dont know that will come back on us later.

I'm most of the time a lazy, cynical ass. So, that would be the pot calling the kettle black, I guess.

Yes, war, life and love, don't know any rules. (Some) humans does, but rules are only followed, cause they make life easier, make sense and the consequence of not following the rules are worse than following it.
The whole idea of rightful war is one of the biggest mumbo jumbo that exist. Same goes for the death penalty. I can understand the reason and arguments some have for it, but its a legal mumbo jumbo. You have the death penalty for some crime and for other you don't have it. Logical it makes none sense at all. It is often based on that murdering or killing other people (and of course only in cases the state doesn't sanctify it, otherwise it is without consequence) will have it. Thus, if I kill someone with a bullet to the head I would get the sentence, but if I "just" be very brutal and torture and maim him I don't get it - don't know which case is worse, as it is another big mumbo jumbo.
Also if an innocent got the death penalty, wouldn't that mean, per the same law, perhaps the person in the legal system should also be put before court for murdering an innocent - and depending on the case, receive the same verdict?o_O:rolleyes:

Ok enough rambeling, needs more Angelica, Jessy, Rachel, Nikki and the whole rest of (almost) all the female we encountered.:love::ROFLMAO:

"She is in my All Time Favorites LI's top 5 after all, she can do no wrong ;)"

I love that you like Della so much you think she can do no wrong.
But sorry I have to disagree with you if she,

:unsure: Do's what cxx says :devilish:"even stabbing you on back?"

Then she definitely doing something wrong.
She should be stabbing you in the back.
She's still doing wrong but at least she's doing wrong the right way.
Plus its way more effective.
