Fair enough, we all have our clues on when to stop expecting something or hoping for something else, and while not perfect, they may often be an indicator. And even though it was clear here that the contracts (old version) were only a stand in for something that was already planned, I can see your point.
Literally the only reason I can't replay this game right now while I doubt she is dead I need to see the next few scenes to be Satisfied.
Also Her elaborating a cold and calculated "payback for messing with the family" plan with a scene of the MC saying "you should have gone for the head" while looking professional... just to get smacked in the arm by Grace or Luna for being cringe.
He's already done this repeatedly, over and over, training Gracie against Cordelia's orders. Anthony (or whatever the fuckface son's name is) tried to kill MC at the fucking DINNER TABLE, and is possibly sleeping around with other guys, and Cordelia's done nothing. She's a hard woman with a soft heart. You all realize that the son is really not an actual son, but a hostaged son of a rival family that she treats as a son, since she raised him? He's the presumptive heir, too. That's seems to be a lot like how she's seeing the MC, now.I think he understands that mate. It might be why he referred to it as being the "MC's schtick".
A schtick is a performance or gimmick, as well as being someone's special talent.
As you know, MC's special talent is making his opponents underestimate him. Putting on a performance & making himself look less competent than he is, in order to lull others into a false sense of security.
That's his "schtick".
I like your idea for the part about Wilfred using Gracie being shot to bring MC out of his shell. That is plausible & works pretty well, to a degree.
But is Wilfred really willing to go that far, with Cordia?
If he was to pull something like that, without her knowledge, he could well face the full fury of the Blizzard Queen & bring Luna down on him as well... fuck he could get the whole triumvirate out for his blood if Gracie doesn't take kindly to being intentionally shot on his command!
Yes, they are, but Wilfred is a sociopath, and doesn't necessarily see that much of a difference. Also, in the Family, disobeying a direct order, just once, is grounds for terminations (and I don't mean getting fired as much as getting fired at). So really, not much different at all.
Wilfred is not one of her children, but he is a father figure to her. He was her mentor and top mastermind in her youth, before her gang was even a family. He is also the most valuable member of her organization, and his loyalty is unquestionable, even if his obedience isn't. It's a tough call. I think she also would know that if Wilfred did do this, she would be dead if it was intended to be so. He may have not done this, but it's in the back of my mind that he did.
Wilfred is very much a "big picture" guy, and his whole thing is moving chess pieces to their optimum positions. Several other people we've met seem to also play that kind of game. Hopefully we will see how this all shakes out, and what it all means.
Yet, it would be the last one for him. Maybe JJJ can back me up, but hasn't Cordia warned Wilfred that he disregared her command twice already and if he do it again, then she would need to eliminate him according to his own teachings?
Hopes went radio silent for 3 months, so game got the tag.
Presumably you're talking about the Patreon post from 15th Nov 2024, as Hopes hasn't posted on this forum since May last year.
If he would show a little more affection towards the people who support him, maybe he would also receive a little more affection, right?Presumably you're talking about the Patreon post from 15th Nov 2024, as Hopes hasn't posted on this forum since May last year.
Wonder why he doesn't frequent this place anymore?
If you're hoping for more content, perhaps posting something encouraging towards him would help a little more than calling it pathetic?
No, I speak as someone who supports a person on Patreon and only asks for a little education to know something from time to time. I don't require him to update the game every "x" time.
Read yours, you write as if I were demanding something from him as if I thought I was his boss, I only ask for some communication, which seems like the minimum to me when people are supporting you with their money and you talk as if I were demanding updates every month.
Stop being such a wannabe thread police, yeez youre annoying.
I've been trying to get him to understand that but the only thing I've gotten is for him to call me a masochist, don't waste your time with that haha.
"Discuss" is a funny way to call it. And you told the other poster in different words to stop crying and shut up nonstop, as it seems like you got very defensive about the lack of development.
