Elaine even after he died Mc's father kicked MC out of house and sent him into MONICA's arms

If I remember correctly, the e-mail was sent to several of the MC's friends as well as Monica, she was just the only one with the space to let him stay.

If Elain's plan was to send him to Monica's she wouldn't have mailed all his friends too or her plan could have gone wrong and she doesn't seem like a stupid person.

You seem to have condemned Elaine already and don't seem to be able to see beyond that.

it's called decoy... several false traces to cover the tracks

Yeah but i think the point being made by Avaron' was even if Elaine had MC friends contacts, and she was the one that sent that message out, there was no way she could guarantee that it would be Monica's that MC would wind up at. Far too much left to chance to be effective, no?

 

[Avaron1974]

It's called stupidity. Any one of those could have given him a place to stay instead of Monica and completely messed up her plan.

Again, Elaine isn't stupid, far too much of that is left to chance and there is no way anyone would risk millions on chance.

What tracks do those mails cover exactly?

All the mails originated from the same place, if someone was trying to cover their tracks they would have sent those mails from different places. Sending them from only 1 place has only left 1 track, it's the worst attempt at a decoy ever.

 

[Avaron1974]

that's why she's meeting other lawyers to have the will contested

If the will mentions pregnancy by someone else she will win. You can't legally push pregnancy on anyone, that's a massive no no.

If that's one of her conditions she gets an easy win and is sitting pretty.

I also think, we are not getting everything from Elaine as well.
If you remember, Elaine has two sets to her part.....1) To get the house...and 2) to get the money.

We know for her to get the house, she has to be as she was and be a complete bitch to the MC (that was the condition for the house part).

We also know that for the two Gold Diggers, their part for getting the money was going to be particularly hard for them.

I suspect, that Elaine's part (for the money) is to keep the MC away from Monica and her girls. Since she had already maintained a bitch stance up until now, it would be unlikely she would be able to accomplish that task. It is also the father's way to laughingly set it up, to where she has to make a choice between House or Money.

I think the other Gold Digger's part for her money, may be along the lines of getting the MC to go back to Monica and see that he stays.....something along those lines....to pit both Gold Diggers against each other.

Just some observations, I'm still enjoying the game and looking forward to more of the story unfolding...............Peace!!

MC's condition doesn't look like something you can legally push on people niether. But! the story takes place in Murica and if there was even one court case where a similar will was enforced by court rulling, Elaine would have to go through a legal battle

Elaine is no Lilly when it comes to using the brain for evill, but she's no slouch in that regards, if she observed the MC before she kicked him, she would probably notice that his friends are the shitty kind of friends that only stay when things are good, so she sent those other emails knowing that Monica would be the only one to offer MC a place to stay. there's no need to install the patch to know that for everyone living under that roof, that was his room. Elaine's miscalculation was Jenna, she could not know that the nerdy minx was a pro hacker and was capable of tracing the email. Of course her IT skills put Jolina among the list of possible suspects, but the fact she sent the email from her shop makes it obvious she can't be the suspect, unless she did it knowing that MC would trace the email to her, but there's still Jenna....

another possibility is that the father changed gender, sent the email, and faked his own death bribing the coroner. He's been an ashole all his life, why not do it for some more and enjoy the chaos?

I see what you're going for but that's still a pretty huge grasp ... the word "If" is a little too prominent. You can apply "What if" to pretty much all of what we don't know is going on here.

Well holy shit, i think you cracked the case there Columbo! lol

prepares to leave but then turns one last thing, a certain Lily has requested for a marriage certificate, the MC better watch out what he signs

Now that one, i could see happening. I think she's a lot more crafty then given credit for.

I don't want to doubt the sweetest girl of all, but what it Lily paid someone to send those emails?

 

[freedom.call]

This is getting weird.

You do certainly love your "what if's" sir.

If Avaron accurately predicts the outcome of the story, then Cheeky's going to end up rewriting it just to keep us guessing.

Haha. While it may seem that way sometimes... Cheeky had a pretty solid plan in mind as to the main story plot that has been there since the start and we have stayed on that track all the way. We just enjoy throwing all kinds of herring out along with the clues to see where they land sometimes and not make it predictable. >=) Red, black, tan, blonde... if it smells fishy it went overboard.

don't worry... I'm certain that Avaron is as wrong as Katie's ex when he thought Katie was going to give him a bj...

 

[lordofhirunds]

I hope the game I'm playing is the same to your Avaron.
Only one email has been sent and it turns out that it was sent to Monica and Monica got the MC number from that email.
No friend received anything just Monica and Jolina said she was a Milf (as an age) and is not Monica who sent the email.
ACE am I right?

 

[Irgendwie Irgendwo]

It's called stupidity.

Oh, it may still be called decoy. Case in point, The Three Investigators #116, "Codename: Cobra".

Main culprit has a sinister espionage plan which sounds a bit ridiculous, but is true. So, knowing he has heat on him, he sends out his plan in a mass email to pretty much the whole city, including the Chief of Police. Now when the lads turn to their police contact for information all they get is, "Yeah, we already know that crap. Get lost."
