I know it's out of topic here and this is by no means to offend anyone from UK but there's something I do wanna know, is every British actually bad at English? I'm asking because I know most of the scrips and dialogues are written by Altos himself and I see there's some typos and (possibly) some grammar errors. I'm also friend with a bunch of British and couple of them are bad at English as well, from what I know every British's main spoken-language here is English. I'm sorry if this question might go too far for all British people, I'm confused about this and want to make some point as much as I want to know the answer here.

It is a different form of English, it has changed a lot, even more than US English over the last 2-300 years. What is 'correct' varies depending on where you live.

I really hope you are not complaining about English spelling and grammar mistakes while being from the country that can't spell mum properly and thinks Y'all is an actual word, and then uses "that is how it is spelled in the American dictionary" as an excuse are you, because otherwise.

Oh yeah and also if you noticed I underlined and corrected your spelling and grammar mistakes as recommended to me by my Grammarly extension, so yeah pot calling the kettle black.

Also yes I have said I am Aussie and we fucked the language like diznee fucked star wars, but I am not complaining.

There's an element of local usage and idioms in English that are often at odds with perfect grammar. It could be considered a legacy of the class system stratification not to mention the strong local identities of dialects. Also the word British doesn't work in the singular as you have in your phrasing. For example 'every British's main spoken-language here is English' would probably be better written as either 'every British person's main spoken-language here is English', or 'every Brit's main spoken-language here is English', or 'every Briton's main spoken-language here is English'. Ultimately the English language is extremely malleable and always changing in usage. For me, my own pet peeve's are people using 'was and were' as well as 'less and fewer' incorrectly. Not to mention to, too and two and there, their and they're.

My game crashes when ever i try punish rachel in the office. Is there a way around this?
This happens from level 1 onwards
I've tried increasing her level with the cheat menu but maxine's quest wont start because i've not punshed rachel.
Any tips to fix the crashing or workarounds to play maxines charity thing?

SOLVED IT:
Hit Shift - G
Select angle 2 render
quit the game and restart

I've spent a bit of time today trying to find out how quickly (in terms of days) you can get through the current content. One of my findings has been that it doesn't seem possible to get any rules changes passed before the third board meeting, other than maybe by forcing Priti to allow you to take pictures of her, with all the penalties that comes with that.

My argument is that it isn't possible to gain enough money to either trick Priti or to get a prostitute for Mr. Wilson in time. In total either option costs 2700, you always need to pay 500 for the science equipment to get the keylogger for the first part of Wilson's quest and then you need either 1000 for the camera and 1200 for the clothing or 2000 for the prostitute and 200 for the viagra. You get 270 on the first day and you need enough money by Thursday of the second week to get it in time for the board meeting, which is only 8 school days. (2700 - 270)/8 = 303.75, which is way more than you can get from punishments on any day at such an early point in the game, much less something you can average over the first two weeks.

Since you can at most get one point from Wilson in time for the second board meeting (without coercing Priti) you'd need one from Potts and two from Chang. To get a point from Potts you have to teach her on every single opportunity. If you do the last lesson you teach her is on Tuesday and you can observe her class on Wednesday. However since she is unavailable on Wednesdays delaying by even a single day would put the last lesson for her on Thursday and you would not be able to observe her class, which is what gives the influence point, before the board meets on Friday. This means that the only evenings you can work with are Wednesday both weeks and Thursday the second week.

In order to get two points from Chang you need to hire her assistant, which includes several days of delay. In order to be able to pull that off in time you would have to tell Chang about buying the science equipment on the first Wednesday. This means you could not get Wilson's quest before the second Wednesday as both actions end the day. But if you get Wilson's quest on the second Wednesday you cannot get the keylogger before the second Thursday evening and therefore cannot call Priti to you office to steal her password before the board meets on Friday.

As far as I can tell the only way it might be possible to get the 4 influence required for any rules change would be to ignore Miss Potts and get all the influence needed from Wilson and Chang, which you can only afford to do in time if you save on cost by coercing Priti. Does anyone see any flaws in my thinking? Can anyone achieve it some other way?

By what you mean, if you wanna get the first rule changed for the first 2 weeks (on the 2nd board meeting) by getting 4 Influence straight on focusing Mr. Wilson and Ms. Chang's quests, you also have to try your best to keep both Grade and Discipline alive (as not training Ms. Potts would get you lose these 2 pretty quickly every day). But thinking about this, it could be an interesting challenge! I'd love to try out to see if it'd be possible :sneaky:

I really don't think it is. I think it might be possible to get 4 influence this way, but only by forcing Priti, and with the big penalty to discipline that gives I don't think it would be possible to get the discipline needed to pass reforms.

I'm very confident after some more testing that it's probably possible to get 4 influence by day 12, but it requires such sacrifices that you will absolutely destroy your discipline and not be able to implement any new policies, and so doing this will have no value. Assuming that you can at the earliest get these rules changes passed on day 19 then you can at the earliest sound out the staff's positions on you dealing out corporal punishment on day 26 and pass it on day 33. Is it possible to get the necessary quests done by day 33?
