The thing about discord is he did have a channel to report things, but he really needs someone to proof read,not for spelling mistakes but for the overall plan. The problem is you patch one inconsistency just to reveal another. If Ocean skipped some of these details, it wouldn't be inconsistent, but it'd feel pretty bland. The details are what make it plausible. Mst people don't care though, it's enough that the school is different and it's supposedly further away etc. We might as well measure distance by the number of renders - it really doesn't change the story, it's just there is so many little details it's hard for anyone to keep straight. The only real issue here is the cabin being set 6 hours away by car - it's implausible for Nika and Summer to have gotten there on their own, and for Nami to call Jane (who is a family friend? Truant officer? Was Nika already in trouble while WITH Summer?) Place it an hour's drive away, it's far enough to be plausible, especially when they have alke in walking distance to their current house...
I'm just good at remembering topics to search the script file ...and I might have played it a few times, with each different path available to get a broader picture, nerd that I am.
They're both in the full season. Coach Hill's info was an addition to the first season, the other has always been in the story line.

Regards the renders and fixes to season 1 - let them be. When Ocean finishes, he can revise these. Most big games would have a continuity check towards the end before release. Because this is episodic, it's a lot harder. I don't personally want Ocean to spend time making season 1 perfect: he's released it to the best that he could manage, lets move on. It's already a great achievement.
Totally possible, but I still think it's just an oversight. Ocean wanted the cabin to be somewhere Nika and Summer disappeared to, that was unsupervised, and nowhere near their friends, far enough that they can't get home after the sun sets. 1 hour walk is enough. 1 hour by car is enough. 6 hours by car is passing through how many countries borders in middle Europe? Doesn't need to be that far at allOh, I think I just realized how to solve this geometry problem without breaking the space-time continuum!
The cabin could be 6 hours drive away because the road there goes around something, some geographical obstruction that cars are unable to cross - mountains, a wide river or a river in a deep canyon somewhere up the mountains and the road goes around these obstacles, creating a wide loop of 6 hours drive there.
But at the same time the lake and maybe even the cabin are in a small hike distance on foot. A shortcut. Maybe there's a small suspension bridge across the canyon or you have to climb up or down a slope too steep for cars. Maybe the cabin is also further away than the lake.
With the ground around here having much less lumps and bumps than Beanpole's body does, I failed to realize until now that such obstacles may exist in some places. I've only been in real mountains a few times, so I'm not used to think in 3D when it comes to geography and travel distances.
Of course, it may be a bit unrealistic that no shortcuts in the form of tunnels or bridges have ever created to reach these places, but they may be in a scarcely or completely unpopulated area. Maybe a nature reserve of some sorts.
Obviously, I haven't really thought about it before, so it could still create some inconsistencies...
