AltosandHerdone I found that the 4 point gain was missing in this scene and in the first (and only) Olivia classroom scene.I didn't got the +4 Diszipline in chapter 2. Was 72 and should be 76, now. But it does get to 71 because of Potts...
Looks like it is not only during this event. Also others do not provide the bonus.

There is also an issue with Debbie during private punishing. If she is naked, and I let Mrs Newman make a body search, the screen is black for 2 sentences.

Isn't the point of that to provide you with proper income, which rakes in a lot more than the weekly allowance of 500, which soon becomes only 400, after you hire the lab technician? You receive 750 per private punishment of the most trained girls + 50 if you take their photos. Are there any other sources of income for the Headmaster apart from these two?Wasn't there supposed to be a way to switch off the office cameras? I recall Mykock saying that at the beginning of the game but I haven't seen such features yet. If not, I hope that eventually gets implemented alongside maybe some alternative revenue streams for those that don't like having rich old men constantly watching you do your business.![]()
Yeah, only get $150 a week after expenses otherwise...

Besides, what is so bothering in letting (not having) rich old men watch the creepy headmaster with an intimidatingly oversized dick and twice as old as most of the female characters as he chastises and bullshits these kids that it's for their own good?

As an addendum: while we know that Putin and his war and his disinformation about the war are not the responsibility of the common Russian people, sympathy and support may be hard to come by.
I mean, I would still do it if I could even with everything going on, I don't blame the people for their government's actions. The problem for me is I don't know how to read or write in that language, so it would be VERY bad, likely Google translated at best until I can find time to learn. That's not the kind of quality I am comfortable putting out there.pls add russian lang
Yea, hence the alongside alternative revenue streams part of my comment. Maybe some girl pays MC off to give them a pass early on (Donna perhaps?), some crazy return on investment lab hustle with miss chang, asking for raises for say every rule you pass, school fundraising bake sale event, etc. Tons to come up with. Though honestly, even without any of it, it would still be nice just to have the choice. Mykock said you'd be able to do so and it gives you at least some semblance of agency, even if the pressure on you is high to allow it initially. And that way, the player could even say turn it on for types like Amy or Liz, but then not allow it for types like Faye or Priti.Isn't the point of that to provide you with proper income, which rakes in a lot more than the weekly allowance of 500, which soon becomes only 400, after you hire the lab technician?

I mean I think it's kinda obvious, no? The exact details may be unknown but really, what could rich benefactors want with training sexually subservient students and having mountains of compromising images/videos? They even hinted at wanting eventual school "visits". They're obviously not in it simply to make sure the new headmaster is getting laid. And even if somehow that's not it, it's something that someone as familiar with manipulation as MC would consider and take precautions against. Lest they eventually push him out like the last headmaster once the girls are "ready".Honestly in this kind of scenario where there is an unseen sponsor in the shadow, I always interpreet it as an analog for the patrons of the game. A way to put them in the game with out breaking imertion. That role, as substitute for patrons, could change with the story unfolding, but we don't currently know a lot about the sircumstances surrounding the school so I don't see that hapening soon.
While this game certainly has some inconsistencies and instances of porn logic, I don't think that MC is the master manipulator he strives to be. Just take note that:Yea, hence the alongside alternative revenue streams part of my comment.

And yea, it is kinda bothersome. The game is about control and manipulation whereas the dynamic makes you feel cheap and powerless. Certainly not like a headmaster running the show but more like a head prostitute grooming girls to perform with him for old men. Mc as a "master manipulator" should probably be looking to wrestle control anyway instead of letting himself get used so freely for spare change.
Also kinda strange you get the option to say prevent Mr Wilson from seeing priti's nudes and then you start chapter 2 and you're making an even more explicit video of her for all teachers to see which likely would include Mr Wilson. Doesn't really make much sense. MC seems very inconsistent on whether he wants to protect the girls or not from (other) predators.
To manipulate someone he can analyse over days/weeks is a big difference to explain his ideas to a big audience with people he does not know. To think they would accept his methods, to be a big believer in his methods, was his hubris.While this game certainly has some inconsistencies and instances of porn logic, I don't think that MC is the master manipulator he strives to be. Just take note that:
1. The introductory presentation of his revolutionary pedagogic methods ends in total failure. His reputation is pretty much non-existent, so he has little choice other than to accept an obviously shady offer from an obvious sleazebag. It's only logical that he should be appreciative, at least until he has enough leverage to assert his dominance over the owners of that peculiar educational facility. So far he is pretty much a tool in someone else's toolbox and he's only realizing that after his last conversation with Ms Chang.
2. He's regularly tormented by nightmares in which he's being denounced for the creep he is. His biggest fear is that he in fact is cheap and powerless, a slave to his own desire to corrupt barely legal minds and bodies.
3. The only pupil who is already sexually mature enough and willingly open to exploring various aspects of BDSM for their encounters to be considered fully informed and consensual kinda impresses and scares him a bit. He must therefore tame her and keep their (ass)fucking secret. The scenes where Amy dares him to join her in the lake swim, or brings her own punishment implements or leaves the girl's changing room unlocked, so he can follow her into the showers just show her as a classic topping bottom, much more honest in her playful manipulations than he is so far. He could take a lesson or two from her.
IMO, the writers do quite a convincing job of depicting the internal contradictions of BDSM dynamics, including the less glorious aspects of it. After all, a lot of famous SM masters/mistresses basically publish their sessions one way or another, don't they? This involves old men rich enough to afford a monthly subscription fee, and after some time, anyone with an internet connection and knowledge how to search for free outdated spanking/bondage/torture porn. Which makes them sex workers. Sometimes you wonder if they have any meaningful relations with their subjects offscreen.
And hasn't managed to manipulate any grown-ass man, mind you.So far he was very successful with his manipulations of 6 Girls, two teachers (and Ruth).
Ruth is his guilty conscience in those dreams.That he had bad dreams with Ruth in it, was in my opinion because she was his biggest danger to his methods.
You shouldn't though (not talking to you in person but "general you"). Every line of dialogue should give information or constitute the athmosphere or similar. If it is just meaningless drivel, it's probably better to drop the VN altogether. Otherwise I will read through all of it.I know VN games sometimes bombard the player with walls of text so much that at one point you stop caring to read them all
Well I don't fully disagree at his incompetence, hence my putting "master manipulator" in quotation marks, I don't think it takes a master manipulator to see through things and put up the slightest resistance. Even in cases where he's given explicit permission, like just turning the camera off. That he sees himself as a master manipulator alone would be enough for him to not want to continuously actively feed them obvious leverage. Yet he doesn't even so much as tell chang to clean his computer from spyware.While this game certainly has some inconsistencies and instances of porn logic, I don't think that MC is the master manipulator he strives to be.

You might be confusing sexual domination and submission with ordinary (albeit morally questionable) power struggle. The MC is a sexual top (though he mentions at one time that he can also receive as much as he can give) preying on fairly easy targets (apart from the two teachers he shagged, one of them proving to be surprisingly easy, all you had to do is find the keys and lose the towel) not an alpha male at all and perhaps his story arc will that of overcoming his own weakness (which is taking sexual advantage of young and inexperienced girls) and standing up for them instead. But we are all at the mercy of creative minds of the game devs and all the characters are ultimately puppets in their hands, with players essentially being just the audience, only sporadically able to decide how the story continues.The game does explore bdsm, but MC/player interests are clearly in domination. Not submission.
Well, that's because his motivations lie elsewhere... And he will have to do some more soul-searching with the help of the nightmarish 'Ruth'.MC does not do it to gain personal wealth, he does so to upgrade their school and already recognizes the money scarcity is entirely fabricated to force him to put on shows. Which shows he recognizes he's being manipulated. But again strangely has no problem with it.
I think we have very different interpretations. Yours comes from believing everything was created as intended and hence you try to come up with plausible explanations that are not really explicit (and imo often even contradicted) in the game. Mine comes from the belief that contradictions and dev oversights are possible and inconsistencies are a sign of that.You might be confusing sexual domination and submission with ordinary power struggle. The MC is a sexual top not an alpha male at all and perhaps his story arc will that of overcoming his own weakness and standing up for them instead.
This is where we can agree on, we are often not given control and must take backseat to some bad tasting MC decisions. That said, whereas deleting routes would be a narrative tracking/telling nightmare, here there's an easy fix. For barebones implementation, a handful additional lines of dialogue, a camera on/off variable and some "if" checks would suffice. A better low effort implementation, add another variable and modify equation to give him raises for passing rules (salary bumps for success should be a feature anyway). I know this because I've modded a lot of this in my game.But we are all at the mercy of creative minds of the game devs and all the characters are ultimately puppets in their hands, with players essentially being just the audience, only sporadically able to decide how the story continues.
I personally wish I could avoid Rachel's and Pritti's stories altogether.
