Yeah, Jolina is a personal pet peeve. The fact that you are required to go on the date with her to further the plot frustrates me as there's no reason the MC couldn't just meet her in a non-intimate setting to ask about the computers. That requirement is why I think she is either the third gold digger OR has ties to the third gold digger (Bella). No other "side" love interest is a requirement which results in a game over screen if you refuse to date them.

but in the end the two girls who won't take no for an answer are only Jolina and Bella.

Katie is the best, I practically fell in love with her in the routes where I rejected her, she's the one who reacts better and doesn't hold grudges, Monica even practically sighs with relief, Jenna has an intermediate attitude, she doesn't try directly but keeps complaining about the fact that you rejected her... and casually shows you what she can

Yeah, I have a Katie route save and a Monica route save which I take seriously... Katie I like her foulmouthed personality which hides her insecurity and Monica seems to be a sweet, caring woman who genuinely loves the MC. I don't know how the MC/Monica relationship will actually work considering the age difference and how Katie and Jenna might react. Honestly wonder if it might be best for the MC to break it off and take the money.

Which is another thing, I'd really like it if the MC was the one to break things off with some of the Love Interests. No mutual breakup or the girls breaking up with him but an assertive MC stepping up and making his own decisions.

there's several hints about jolina being a lesbian, little things like her saying she doesn't do guys which she quickly corrects to do relationships. some stuff with jenna too, i dunno the specifics as i haven't explored her path (or bellas). the gypsy references a blonde lesbian and a sister, which makes little sense if you take that to mean debbie. just hints and misdirection, of which the game is of course full.

actually an interesting idea is that bella is not the gold digger, just a gold digger (there's that mention that the third recipient is a religious weirdo, and theresa says she has something promising in the pipe (not mc's dick)). the gypsy seemingly describes her as a viper coiled around the money, doesn't require her to be the third. rather, she's a fourth party pursuing the money through mc's dick and has enlisted her girlfriend in the plot. she read donald's personal copy of the will after snooping around elaine's house and she's making her play.

Yes i remember a reference about Don having an affair with a religious fool so she could be the third one but it seems odd.
We have Elaine as the second and the one who mailed Monica about the MC, so she could be the one who has learnt all about the will. It would be the best guess as she lived with Don and could have access to his office, but it seems too obvious to be true.

I suspect Bella because, first she has brought MC stuff before the 3 days that Elaine gave him, second she insist so much in seducing the MC, third she seemed to spy the MC as he went with Jenna to search the PC, just as she was waiting for them and played the masturbation scene in Elaine bed not in hers just because she knew what was going on.
Fourth she tries to make the player believe she doesnt like her sister and want to help him.

And knowing Don, i guess he would have found funny to fuck Bella and to give her an evil task in his will, maybe someting like seducing his son and getting married or pregnant, that would certainly be something he could imagine !!
And Don could have said everything about the will to Bella to spoil the game still more.

That's on the player. The choices are there. The player has to be the one to step up and not be a simp with the girls. Again, my 2 cents.

So now we know that Elaine did it

we only know that she went there and that jolina said it was her.

 

[Deleted member 1571716]

You have played chapter 20 i guess, we have seen Elaine in the CCTV, but it's at the end and we don't know anything more.
If you have played this game long time ago, i can just remember you that Monica received a mail from the MC asking for a visit, but the MC has never send this email so all the plot around the CCTV is to learn who went into the cyber cafe and use the PC to send the fake email. So now we know that Elaine did it but we still don't know why, did she knew the will condition before the two others and wanted the MC to reunite with Monica to make it harder for him to forget about her and her daughters as requested in the will.
So it's the plot around the CCTV if you don't remember exactly what went on before .

we only know that she went there and that jolina said it was her.

Ok, first off, you guys need to use spoilers. There are people who haven't played yet, so have some consideration for others.

Now, to the meat of this. The CCTV is just footage of the only person who went in to the coffee shop that day and used the computers. So, yes. That means it WAS Elaine who sent the fake emails. Also, Jolina never said it was Elaine. So, not sure where that's coming from. As far as the story goes, Jo doesn't even know Elaine.

And no, I'm not a fan of Jo, but, if people are going to say something that's not true, I'm going to set them straight.

Yes we better use spoilers when talking about that stuff !

Thing is, way before this footage came into play, Jo said only one person came into the shop that day. One. So, we DO know it was Elaine who sent the fake emails. So, with what we know and what we DON'T know are two different things. Elaine sent them, that is a given now with the footage. However, I think that the dad had her do it. I could be wrong. But, the dad seems like that type of asshole. I'm also not a fan of Elaine, so, I'm not defending her. She's admitted that there are things that she's done and the MC wouldn't understand. That it could destroy any type of relationship the have or could have.

Again, these are my opinions. I could be very wrong. None of us know. Only Cheeky actually knows.

still just jo's word, and if she's in cahoots with bella or some other part of the scheme, and there's plenty of evidence supporting that idea too, then she could be lying.

So, we DO know it was Elaine who sent the fake emails.

no we don't, only that she was there that day.

yes, true. we all can only suppose. acewinz of course knows nothing.

acewinz doesn't even know the full story yet. He still has his assumptions. Ace knows more than we do, of course. But, until the last word that comes from Cheeky, none of us will know.

What was the deal with Nickki and Molly?
Do we get to see them again or was that a 1 time thing?

doesn't look like it. thank your local compressor.

You could always use the quickstart to change the major choices so you are where you intended to be.

True, but after playing the game for such a long period of time I've grown rather attached to my scores for each girl so I would hate to just wipe those to defaults. I suppose the scores could be a bunch of smoke and mirrors for a rather simple binary programming flag regarding what does and doesn't happen, but until I peek behind the wizard's curtain I'd like to enjoy the ignorance as to how the game works under the hood.
