Roommates BETA! 0.9.6 (25.02.2014)

So a couple of things I'm wondering if people have found/tested yet for the whole Prisoner's Dilemma.

*Have you betrayed Roxanne and gotten her job interruptions at your advanced jobs?
*Have you betrayed Anne while you were on her path? You should get rejected at the spring break scene.
*Have any of you gotten your partner to betray you? This is easier when playing as Anne with Max as your partnwr.


Just curious, thanks!

Minor Typo. Playing as Max, Week 8 Monday, the line starts: I'm can barely hearing him talking about...

I believe the 'I'm ' should be just an I.

About the Prisoner's Dilemma:
I haven't gone looking for those specifically. It really isn't in my nature to normally do such things

However, I am certainly willing to go through and try some of those a bit later, if you wish. Certainly makes sense to test those out (and make sure there are no bugs)

*Have you betrayed Anne while you were on her path? You should get rejected at the spring break scene.

Well, tested it just for you. Not that I would do something like this to her (Not while trying to woo her... ) Seems fine, but I did not check 100% for typos. I get

Spoiler:

40% relationship drop at the betrayal scene, and Anne specifically mentions the betrayal when rejecting me, spring break friday.

I don't know if this is a bug or not. I was doing the Max X Rakesh path, and got up to the staring contest (Week 11, Wednesday). I have Rakesh up to 65 for the relationship. I decided to help Dominic. Max gives Rakesh a kiss, and this pleases him (+5 to Rakesh), but shouldn't Dominic also get an increase of +5 since Max helped him win?

And I will be betraying Roxanne forthwith

It depends if Max got "ideas" with Rakesh (the hidden variable is really called "maxideas"!) if he has, you'll see that, otherwise there's a variant and Dominic gets +5.

It seem impossible with Roxanne (when playing Max). But I won't give up yet!

Glad to know it wasn't a bug (and as you can tell from all my other previous playthroughs, too much of this is getting to be memorized )

Also, with regard to the Prisoner's Dilemma with Roxanne:

Spoiler:

First time she interrupted, talking in the box about getting her vengeance, and Max saying the professor's hours were over.

So, it looks like it is working, at least on the Max path.

It does seem after betraying my partner, the character (whether Max or Anne) does have an erotic dream of sorts with Professor Tosque in Week 20 (as opposed to the normal Jade Monkey dreams the character has).

What Do I need to do to get Roxanne to betray?

Spoiler:

I tried giving the "wrong" answers about betrayal, and I tried skipping the learning scenes.

Did not work.

[MrEnvy8]

So the Tasque dream depends more on who you're dating than anything else. For example, lesbian Anne (Lesbianne? I'm sorry u_u) won't see the exotic dream. Unless it's been changed...

Anyway, right now the only way to get your partner to betray is to skip all the partner scenes after the first. I think that might be too hard to have happen though, so I think I want to include some additional impacts. It sounds like it's nigh impossible, so I'll be tweaking that.

Secondly, it seems like there's not enough temptation to the PD. So tonight I'll be adding a bonus of 400 grades if you get the best outcome (you betray partner doesn't). But, you'll lose 400 if the partner betrays and you don't. (Both betray gets a 200 boost, neither betray=no effect).

I hope that will give some more weight to the prisoner's dilemma, and some incentive to try out both versions. Not to mention give a bit of scheduling leeway.

Seems a good plan to me
