Ok, combining all the parts into the master file. This should take about 10 mins... then I'll stick it on a flash drive and run it into work where it'll upload faster. If I upload it from home it'll be another 2 hours getting onto youtube >_<

You live that close to work? I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse.

Yeah, it's only about 2 miles, and at midnight, that's a 5 minute drive.

And yes, I've been called into work at 4 am for emergencies more than once, since I live so close.

Kinda glad I wasn't featured in any significant way in that one... Do have access to relationship statuses at all, Gas? Might be more entertaining not knowing.
 
Thoughts:

- I'm now friends with the most popular guy, the most athletic guy, and the most "popular" girl. ;)
- If this track team is ever gonna be competitive, we are probably gonna need to relieve some of this "tension" between us.
- So I've banged Raven in the boy's room, but there are a few more potential partners for Gusto, if I'm seeing things correctly...

Right now, you hold the status of "Teacher's Pet." You're friendly disposed toward Ms. Dieb, and she considers you her Favorite Student (yes, that's a status to be bestowed). Also Raven and Ash are warming up to you, though you haven't made your mind up about them yet.
 
Hey I showed up in this episode. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to be the quiet wallflower that never got any attention....

just like in high school


I notice that I'm pretty high on the physical prowess chart, though. Someone deciding they want to take a swing at the quiet guy may learn a surprising lesson....

If memory serves you were a late bloomer in year 1, too.

Yeah. I was in high school in real life, too. It wasn't until I thrashed the school's star linebacker that I started to get all kinds of notoriety and attention.

I suppose to be fair to myself, if we do this again next year, I should make my character skinny as hell, since I was until my early 30's.

At least the Smoking Gun isn't lying dead in ruin yet.
It's only day 3, man. Originally you made it to, what, at least day 15?

Also, it seems fighting style counts for a lot in violent confrontation. Lana outclasses Dirona by almost double... but because Dirona uses "One Blow" and Lana has "No Reserve," the Rock-Paper-Scissors model gave the match to Dirona.
 
I'm just glad I'm involved in the plot this year. Last year I showed up for one episode, proceeded to fix all the problems, and then faded away completely.

I had no right what-so-ever to win that fight. Fighting style not withstanding.
Must have one-shotted Lana with my boobs or something.

Also: Horn-dogs, all of you.
It surprised the hell out of me, too. But I guess being athletic doesn't necessarily mean you can take a punch, anymore. I'm not sure a R-P-S dynamic is really a gameplay improvement, but it is... different.
