Never played it, how far away is the ending? anywhere in sight or it will take a while still?

 

[MrFriendly]

I look forward to the final meeting with the lawyer. I am curious to meet the other gold digger...
I'm only at the end of ep.15. Haven't played ep 18 yet. Something about this meeting is mentioned in ep18 when exactly is it going to be?

I hope the meeting happens soon. I really don't want it to be in the last 2-3 updates. Feel like I'd rather have that confrontation and then several updates of the fallout, dealing with the impact on the relationships, possible goodbyes, and then endings with flash forward epilogues.

Am I wanting to much?

I believe the plan is 24-26 updates and we are at 18.

 

[gestved]

oh, so probably at least another year in the oven

I want the same. We wait so much, we create theories of who this person could be.. Dev may surprise us yet and at this meeting we can even see our woman to whom we are already attached.. It would be a shot straight in the heart.
Although Katie and Monica (I love them) are definitely not the second gold digger, but if they were, I wouldn't have anyone to play for.. Because only they are the most important to me in this game.

And choosing money is not that good.. because we wouldn't get it right away. We got a certain sum every year as long as we didn't see Monica, Katie and Jenna. Either way, I would choose women over money. Money is not the most important thing in life, apparently for MC's father it was important. And MC's father is a total asshole, I don't like him.
Honestly, Dev made MC father so well, and I guess everyone doesn't like him.

Yeah, to me the two reasons I could see to go for the money are 1) I was focused on one person who turned out to be the gold digger or 2) because I was playing a "fuck them all" run and they all found out, it blew up in the MC's face (a bunch of the women telling him to never contact them again) and then he has no reason to choose the women because they don't want anything to do with him.

Since the MC gets a percentage each year he could take one year away (even travel to another country for a year) receive the money for that year and then come back. The conditions were that he had to have no contact with Monica and the girls, but he could have someone else act as a go between - not passing notes - I am sure that would violate the conditions; but if Jolina told him that Jenna was okay, I don't see how that would disqualify him.

Anyway. I just hope the big reveal is update 20. 19 is the beach house party IIRC, so it would be nice to have the will reading after that.

I think it would be funny if after all the theories, the long posts going into extraordinary detail, and people assuming that the other women is going to to some heartless, gold-digging bitch, that it just turns out to be an incredibly simple conclusion. Either it's Theresa, who would be the easiest character to not give a shit about, or it's someone that we actually might care about but they aren't a heartless, gold-digging bitch and will help the MC to ensure everyone gets a fair share.

After everyone's been tying themselves up in knots expecting the absolute worse to come from this whole situation, to have it all end in a fairly smooth way would be hilarious.

Well, if this is the case, I'll laugh. For me, it could be Theresa. I am not attached to her, for me she is: I will fuck her and leave and I may not come back because she is not important to me.

Well, but if it's someone closer to MC.. then we already have a problem.

Considering the build up I can't imagine that Cheeky and Ace would just make it the most obvious character (Theresa). Though with the amount of "Scooby Doo" theorycrafting that has taken place I expect that when the 2nd Gold Digger is revealed someone will immediately post that they "knew it all along" and then dredge up and quote their old posts.

The only character that would hurt to find out is the 2nd gold digger is Monica... Everyone else doesn't have as much of an impact on the game. And when it comes to drama, Monica is the one most likely to result in the most if she is revealed to be the 2nd gold digger. But I don't see it...

 

[mr_jimmybob]

Getting what was left to her doesn't make her a gold digger.

Elaine is called a gold digger by the father of MC (he calls her that in one of the reading at the lawers office). The father also says there is another gold digger but gives no name... thus the mystery.

Hey know...c'mon. if it was a true scooby moment they would reveal who the 2nd gold digger was...but a haaaa....that person would also be wearing a mask (mission impossible style) to hide their true identity...

Which would be... ............those pesky kids........

Hope you're wrong about Monica. I love Monica.. but if she was the second gold-diger, I would be pissed off, really pissed off. Especially since Monica herself said that she never had anything with MC father and did not give in to his advances.

LOL... That would be awesome though.

Just because MC's father called her that doesn't mean she is like that. Father MC is an asshole, he doesn't treat anyone right. Even his own son.

 

[mr_jimmybob]

MC is his biological son. He should inherit that wealth from his dad. That's only normal.

Not really. It may seem logical. But when I die, I want to leave all my money to whomever I like. Not to my son just beecause he is my son. And that should be respected, because that is the last wish of the dying person, to give their belonging s to who ever they like.

 

[Ranting Old Man]

I think all of Cleo's prophecies have a double meaning. I think there might be two gold diggers. One on the will and one not on the will.

Something has been bothering me allot. What was the point of mentioning the lesbian?

Leads me to believe there might be something more there.

This exactly, and exactly how this works in most countries providing the children are no longer minors. Why so many wills are contested (especially in the States)...entitled kids and siblings and long-lost relatives driven by greed who think they are owed something. Also funny how most of those contentions are thrown out of court too.

There's a reason it's one of the most popular crime story themes heh.

I don't see how it could be Monica unless Jenna and Katie are also involved.
She would destroy her family, especially if the girls are in love with the MC.

Well the most obvious thing would be to cast doubt in either way. Debbie/Jolina - Both connected to different parties. If it just said lesbian and there was only one lesbian in the game ... it wouldn't be much of a mystery.

I doubt the gold digger is Monica, but I wouldn't be surprised if she is truly responsible for your parents failed marriage. Maybe because she made a pass at your dad or maybe because she lied about it in order to encourage your mother to leave him. Either way I'm not so sure she is innocent. And even if she is guilty I doubt this would be something she would tell her daughters.

And the thing about Scooby Doo was that the villain of the episode went through such complicated and convulated means to do what they were doing for an even more convulated reason. So with all the people looking at it like that, that's why it would be funny if it ende up not being so complicated.

It's like the Simpsons episode where the meteor is headed for Springfield and everyone thinks it's the end but then it just burns up in the atmosphere and lands as nothing more than a baseball-sized rock. Or the one with the angel that everybody thought was real but was just a marketing gimmick for a shopping mall, or when the alien Homer saw turns out to be Mr Burns. (Come to think of it, they did that kind of thing a lot on The Simpsons. )

Point is, it could end up being a big nothing burger but the intrigue surrounded it would have got people hooked, so in that sense it did a good job.

Exactly. His judgement is askew because he was an entitled asshole who no doubt assumed that anyone who even so much as looked at him wanted something from him, so he'd see any woman as a gold-digger even if they weren't.
