Question so i want Mina but how to get her? do i have not to get any initmate with the other girls or can i balance it out but the problem is there no way to check in proflie to see what character points that it is on.
I would say this game is way too well made on a psychological point of you that i wouldn't care too much and i'd go with the flow on the choices :)

Have you played to the end of the current version?
I think the only two things you need to do are take her shopping in week 1 and "Cross the Line" after the arcade.

Last thing i'll write about this because i think we going in circles here and loosing ourself in minor details that we neither can change nor can we say with certainty wich of our asumptions would be correct.
This would be a bit sad, because an interesting debate lives through the exchange of different opinions. Since we cannot read the minds of these characters, it is unavoidable to make assumptions. Nothing is wrong with that as long as they are convincing and have substance. If we treat a speculative discussion not in terms of winning or loosing, but rather in terms of introducing various point of views, i do believe it's worth it. I can say for sure, that i gained more than once insights from a debate with an opposing partner here in this thread, which i would not have achieved solely on my own. And even if we can't be 100% sure about the 'real' motivations of the NPCs, i think there is enough material to make educated guesses. As a fan i love to theorize about this and it's a nice way to bridge the gap until the next episode is out.

I still think that you look at it too much from an Neutral/Pragmatic point of view. If you look at it without trying to put yourself in the shoes of the Characters you could say all Carnations aswell as Lucy and Victoria had "better" alternatives as partaking in this/ doing Porn in Victorias case.

Lucy could have just suck it up and settle for the next best School for her Son. But that is not how being a Parent (should) Work(s).
For her, her Son deserves the best, so she does what she can to give him the best. You simply (should) don't calculate if the "Investment" in your Child will be "worth it", it is just not important. As a parent you love your Child unconditionaly, and you will go through enormous lenghts to make sure your Child can grow up Happily and Life a fulfilling Live. So to say she werent in a pinch at all is ignoring her feelings as a Mother completely in my opinion.
A lot of parents who love their children unconditionally and want them to live a happy and fullfilling live, don't feel the urge of putting them into a high-class institution where they frankly can't impress their peers with either their lifestyle and money or their intellectual proficiency; Lucys' kid has nothing going for him in that surrounding, which is in my opinion a surefire way to get him badly bullied. I can hear them already say: "What got you in here? How many cocks had your Mother have to suck for it?" Although an overzealous mother like you described her may have overlooked this danger.
Lucy feels to me rather like one of those overachieving mothers which compensate their own shortcomings by imposing expectations of success on their children. Showing her son off like a trophy, as a living proof, that she is not a failure with her unhappy marriage, that she has done something right in her life.

For the next parts i think you confused the names of Victoria and Veronica.
Same goes for Veronica Victoria, sure she could have easily gotten a second Job, cutting down on their Living expenses and Living from paycheck to paycheck like Millions of other Single Parents do. But she couldnt bring herself to do this because of the MC.
I think you are in for a surprise further down the line, and perhaps have to reconsider your statement here.

Even for Rose you could say she could work Multiple Jobs cutting down on Living expenses or simply running away with her Daughter to another State in the Hope they wouldn't find her. Or, if this wouldn't work, she could still doing what Vermonica Victoria did. Wouldn't be perfect of course, but still better then the Club. But she, just as the other 2, is doing it for her Child so she caan live her Happy life at is is without being confronted with how cruel this World can be.
Sorry this doesn't really add up, you expected a single mother Victoria to work two jobs and live from paycheck to paycheck to be able to pay for their living expenses. Just how many jobs should Rosie work to pay off the debts? A day has only 24 hours.
Also don't underestimate the urgency to pay on time, she has already goons observing her home and sitting in her kitchen. She needs that money fast, that is exactly what the club offers in case she wins.
Running away and keep a low profile to avoid being spotted by her loan sharks who are probably affiliated with the mafia (these are gambling and ponzi scheme debts, remember?)? With a child? At compulsory school age? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Leaves prostitution or porn, as you suggested. And i really don't know which of both is worse, at least with prostitution you have a higher chance to keep it private, opposed to the public character of porn. Looking at some of the harder genres of porn i am often wondering if those girls wouldn't be better off with classic, vanilla prostitution.

For Veronica she could simply change her policies in her Gym to try to save the place or suck it up griefe about it and live on. But for her this place means so much more as well as the rules she has for it. Giving up on it or changing it would not just mean betraying herself she would also betray her Mentor and this she cant't bring herself to do. She would probably never look at herself in the mirror again if she would do this.
A lot of thread members are with you on that, myself included.

(...)
I'm totally with you here. Veronica is for the Competition the better choice because she is different from the other two. It's not that i would have liked to see Lucy in Veronicas place, it's more that i think of it as a big loss that Lucy was so quickly tossed aside instead becomming something like an "half carnation" or even let her become a House Girl but keep her more in the Loop. We got an glimpse on her possible Backstory that i liked to see more of.

Whats with her Son, her Marriage, herself as a Character. I just would have loved to know more about her and to have an actual impact in her fate as a Player. Let me help her through her fate, maybe make her feel loved and desired as a Woman again if she really is stuck in a kinda dead marriage, or let me lead her down a dark path with her becomming a full fledged Sexslave/Cumslut if the playe is on the Bad Guy path.
I think and hope that is not the last appearance of Lucy, i would bet we get a deeper understanding of her as PC unfolds.

I think everything would have been better as what i saw until now done to her. As much as i like her and had loved to see more of her, i think i had preffered if she would have been phased out completely after the competition, rather than seeing her put through more abuse damned to stand by while feeling powerless because the MC can't help her.
Nope, i like it just as it is, and hope she gets even more screen time. Yes that's mean, but you can't help everyone.

I think Kathleen stated that she became a House Girl in exchange for her Son getting into the School despite her loosing against Veronica. But yeah it would fit with Kathleen and that ugly bastard of her colleague to take it away from her in the end to totally destroy her...
:devilish:
Agree on that.

Let's agree to disagree then.

I just happen to think being in physical danger is a bit more valid reason to subject yourself to the degradation you face as a carnation than any of those other things.

Do all of them have reasons to want to participate in a get rich quick scheme? Maybe. However in my opinion there is a tradeoff between shit you go through + the risk vs the reward you are promised and I think for every single person there except Rosalind, the shit they go through and the risk they are taking does not justify the reward they are guaranteed to get (it might for the winner but remember that 2/3 of participants are losing meaning 2 of them are degrading themselves for nothing in return).

As for Lucy and Victoria, yes they want better lives for their kids and they understood the cost of wanting that. They willingly paid the price so I do not feel bad for whatever happened/happens to them.

Kathleen may get off on inflicting emotional pain on others but the reason it works I think is because there is a hint of truth to it.
There are more ways than just physical violence threat as means of coercing someone into a decision they would not choose under normal situations. The game portrays this quite well with the events surrounding Felicia, Rosalind and Veronica. To believe otherwise seems quite a simplist view of the carefully crafted events in Pale Carnations.

Hell even Hanna who is not a carnation or one of the club's prostitutes was forced to work there and witness a bunch of people she despise humiliating women because that is the only way her asshole father will pay the medical bills of her ailing mother.

Having a hint of truth doesn't mean it is the whole of the story. Kath only releases her poisonous words/actions when her victims are vulnerable. She did that with both Veronica and Edwin already.

As far as MC has said (or thought) Victoria wanted to make sure his life stayed more or less the same after his dad died not wanting a "better" life
I think this viewpoint is difficult to say at least. It feels a little bit cold hearted to say that they doing it willingly while it is quite clear that people took advantage of them in their predicament.
Pretty much.
The game shows Victoria being kicked out of house by her late husband's family without money, a job and holding a small child. Her choices there were to starve with her kid, commit crimes for "easy money" or do porn. It is not hard to see which ones was the best one given the circumstances.

I see it usually the same way as you. But as Lucy and how her Character was/is handled is my main Problem with the Game right now, it is very exhausting and tiresome to debate over this. Because all we now about her is from a handfull of sentences/comments from her and Veronicas Introduction and Competition, wich in adition partly came from Characters that are not trustworthy at all. If you cannot underline your Asumptions with Facts/Good Arguments, such Debates often only lead to frustration and destroy the discourse.

For the next parts i think you confused the names of Victoria and Veronica.
Yes i did, indeed, it was late^^

Sorry this doesn't really add up, you expected a single mother Victoria to work two jobs and live from paycheck to paycheck to be able to pay for their living expenses. Just how many jobs should Rosie work to pay off the debts? A day has only 24 hours.

Yes, i probably underestimated the urgency here. But, still, Loansharks usually don't kill their Deptors because then they wouldn't get their Money back. So it may be unlikely that the collectors would settle for a small payment every Month but not completely impossible.
Same goes for the Run away thing, last Time i looked Loan Sharks (or other people that are not Law Enforcement) couldn't easily call Schools or Goverment institutions to find people on the run. Besides that, even if they could find them, it would be a question if it's worthwile. Spending a couple of thousand bucks to getting a couple of thousand bucks usually isn't worthwile the hassle that comes with it.

As for the Porn vs. Sexwork thing. We shouldn't forget that becomming a Carnation has nothing to do with normal Sexwork. In the Club, you basicly give away your Human rights, so they can do whatever they want to you only to entertain sick rich bastards, and i don't thin there is a "No Pictures/Video" clause in the Deal. So yes, i think the Club is much worse then doing Porn or normal Sexwork, even if the chance of being discovered is bigger.

I think and hope that is not the last appearance of Lucy, i would bet we get a deeper understanding of her as PC unfolds.
I would like this if the devs would reconsider their approach to Lucys Character. If she get's the same chance as the other Women i'm fine with it, but if she still would be the one Character that serves only as a cheap crowdpleaser for the "Hardcore Abuse" folks i would quit the Game immediately and regret the time i wasted to play it. Call me to soft but this would be a no go for me.
Nope, i like it just as it is, and hope she gets even more screen time. Yes that's mean, but you can't help everyone.
Oh come on. You can be (if you want and as far as i have played) Kind and Supportive to every Women you meet, but by pure chance Lucy is "too much" because you "can't save everyone". That's, im sorry please dont take this personally, but that is a Stupid Argument.

I always thought about PC as a Game with at least 2 Routes, a "Good Guy" and a "Bad/Evil Guy" path with respective endings for the Characters. So if i want to play a "Saint" in Hell i should be able to Help/Save everyone including Lucy. Of course, same but different, goes for an "Bad Guy" playthrough. Or mix it up, be Kind/Save the Characters you like and ignore/take advantage of the Characters you don't like. Oh Boy what wonderfull horrible ideas would i have for Kathleen.

I think Kathleen stated that she became a House Girl in exchange for her Son getting into the School despite her loosing against Veronica. But yeah it would fit with Kathleen and that ugly bastard of her colleague to take it away from her in the end to totally destroy her...
:devilish:
Agree on that.
Could be a "good" Bad Ending if you play the "Evil Guy" version of MC. Although i would never see it because i never could let this happen to her.

EDIT:

A lot of parents who love their children unconditionally and want them to live a happy and fullfilling live, don't feel the urge of putting them into a high-class institution where they frankly can't impress their peers with either their lifestyle and money or their intellectual proficiency; Lucys' kid has nothing going for him in that surrounding, which is in my opinion a surefire way to get him badly bullied. I can hear them already say: "What got you in here? How many cocks had your Mother have to suck for it?" Although an overzealous mother like you described her may have overlooked this danger.
Lucy feels to me rather like one of those overachieving mothers which compensate their own shortcomings by imposing expectations of success on their children. Showing her son off like a trophy, as a living proof, that she is not a failure with her unhappy marriage, that she has done something right in her life.
Initially i wanted to let this part out because, as i already said, i think we know not enough about the School, Lucy, and her Son, to make a meaningfull asumption. But i will pick your viewpoint of Lucy as a "Mother that pushes her Son as a proxy for her shortcommings" out because i think that this wouldn't add up with the few glimpses at her Personality we got from her.
Those Caracters are usually more like Kathleen, arrogant and selfcentered. And besides that, it would be likely that her reaction to Kathleen mocking her with "your son was not smart enough to make it on his own" would be a different one. It would be much more likely that her reaction would be anger instead of Emotional Pain and saying "he only deserves the best". After all, with him failing, he would have foremost failed and dissapointed her, maybe she even would resent him. And in the End, if she would be such a Person, she most likely would never be in the Club in the first place, if her goal was to get her Son in this School to make up for her shortcommings, to boost her self-esteem, why would she put herself through such a Humiliating process.
