oh comon! you see your own eyes trees on the island. =) that meand that island have live fertile soil.
The islands are not the entire African mainland. From what we've been shown, the soil outside the islands is much worse, hence the problems with starvation and stuff..In any case, I don't think it's worth trying to transfer the technology we're used to into a post-apocalyptic world (even if it's called Earth) created by the author's imagination. Sometimes it's better to leave everything as it is, take this world as a given and just enjoy the game. ;)

St Helena island has to import agriculture to sustain its population even in our world let alone an apocalyptical one.

I think her efforts are to keep Kane alive. Seth is mainly there for Astrid's benefit, so he's safe. My initial theory is that there are only two people around with Callista's blood. If Callista is thought to be dead, it makes Kane that much more valuable to the Karlssons. I know there's more to it, but that's my first hypothesis with the little information we have.

Interesting theory, I had similar thoughts about their unique blood, but I left it until better times. Well, I'll share my theory on that.

Sounds reasonable enough. The only question I have is
Alexander's cover is gone, and now not only Callista, but all her plans to save Kane and Seth's lives may well be jeopardized, for no one will guarantee that Callista had no enemies ready to give an immediate order to find and eliminate her.
who is Callista's enemy that would be in a position to harm her? Dominique and Juliette? I can't think of anyone else.

You don't think the two of them are enough? If Dominique was able to pull off the Cole thing without even Veronica realizing it for a long time, what (theoretically) could stop her from eliminating Callista? And I wouldn't be in a hurry to make Jules a stupid straight arrow, incapable of any meaningful plans..Dominique and Jules could do almost anything. And by the way, note that they are both in the same A faction.

Anyway, I have no other theory that logically explains the faking of Callista's death.¯\_(ツ)_/¯So I too take a seat in the audience and await the revelations of the next updates.:whistle::coffee: Perhaps in pt3 we will have the long awaited conversation with Callista where these things are supposed to be explained.

I wasn't disputing. Just clearly stating who her enemies are and seeing if you could think of anyone else. And yeah Juliette is not stupid, she is just very direct most of the time so her plans usually involve her participating directly.

Uhh, the lovely ladies of New Paris? Charlotte is no joke. She even knows about Island 4 somehow.

Also, it's possible that Cynthia doesn't even know who is behind the revolution. I can't imagine Cynthia and Callista being too aligned forever. There's a lot to be said about Cynthia. Elena called her evil... Otto implied that he 'serves' Cynthia, but Callista is his true mistress, and he's all about the revolution. Hell, Astrid and Yvette are trying to hide it from Veronica. And the rest of the Karlsson Group is only slowly piecing together that it could be Yvette (someone close to Veronica, but not Veronica herself). Not sure if they're even aware that Astrid is awake. Likely not.

The power rests between Karlsson Group, DeKock Syndicate, and New Paris. Callista has no real power in any of these three groups and she has a glaring weakness which is that she is willing to die for people she considers family. Also, at the start of episode 8 (during the flashback on Cole's birthday or their anniversary or something), she seems to think that she's going to die and that Kane will never forgive her. Doesn't sound too promising.

Also, to Stan, Olivia definitely knows Callista is alive. Her reaction in the latest episode before they have fun with Cassandra tells it all when Kane says "If only Callista was still alive".

But it still doesn't answer the question of how Kane (Dom or sub) was helped by Callista's faked death.
I don't see that it helped him in any way, on the contrary, it hurt him.

But Callista is part of the Gambit, one of those who respects its absurd rules, she started the game/gambit by faking her death.

I think Kane would never have gone to prison unjustly with Callista "alive", or the serious financial problems the brothers have as Seth's illness progresses.

So she had to find some way of starting up and activating all the flags.

I'd argue she has significant pull with the DeKocks,at least as far as we see currently. And remember the scenario being talked about is if she didn't fake her death and operated more openly. Even if alliance with Cynthia is doomed to fall apart do to Callista's revolution ties, she can keep that on the low until needed. After all, even in the current "fake death scenario" they are allied at this point.

As for the Karlssons outside of Dom/Jul none of them have a reason to go after her. Alessandra probably already knows she's alive, so fake death doesn't matter. Also Veronica and Callista know that Kane is necessary for the Gambit so Veronica would try to keep threats to Kane at bay and has deep respect for Callista so she would try to see she is unharmed.

As for New Paris I suppose I just have more faith in Callista's ability to deal with them.

I totally agree with this.

Dom/Jul is kind of a huge problem though...

I have an analogy.

The Karlsson Group is inside a castle, and neither New Paris nor the DeKock Syndicate can penetrate that castle even if they showed up with an army and tried to... unless Juliette and Dominique had their people open the front gates wide open for them...

Dom/Jul + New Paris + Cynthia DeKock all have reason to want Callista and the revolution dealt with asap. Dom/Jul have even more reasons for it, and they're aligned with them.

Anyways I have 2 insane hot takes.

Cynthia doesn't know. And I doubt she would find out if Callista weren't faking her death.

For the first point I'd be shocked if it weren't true:ROFLMAO:

knowledge for knowledge's sake

I wonder what is the very bottom in this game? the bottom below which it is simply impossible to go no matter how hard you try?
I started playing the slave branch to find out what is happening at that solid bottom, in order to move, you can only push off from it and move up, because there is no movement down. for this I choose choices with the most negative consequences. is the minimum achievable level k0 or is there something even lower? (even if reaching this level causes a game over).
and I wonder what bottom Olivia can reach if she also chooses all the most negative (in terms of consequences) decisions for her?

it is easy to be good and to be reach - let's try to be weak and try to fight. =)

There is no K0 rank in the game, the minimum attainable rank is K1.

Mistress Tess - 01/04/2025 10:08

I feel bad about my delay to update but will just post all ten I put on Patreon :) Super super awesome trip! She got into 4 of the 7 Ivies she applied to (rejected Yale and waitlisted two) but I'm honestly not sure she should consider my alma mater now...so many good options for her! Updated render count I did 100 (ok Anais helped me do 20 and she picked these images for Patreon too and I trust her!) and now total is 855 renders overall, so we are getting close to 1,000 woah...

I did notice that Mistress Anais snuck that one...

Site is glitchy for me. images won't show :unsure: I'll download them all manually and try again. Just a sec

Edit: There. Strange workaround. Had to copy paste all the image link addresses as opposed to drag and drop or download image and drag.

heh.. Olivia Sub - everything is relative... olivia sub - what an ridiculous joke! =))
Why is that ridiculous? I think it makes perfect sense.;) A golden spoon up her ass doesn't automatically make Olivia dominant, and it's up to us to decide how we want her to be. Plus, the benefits of her sub nature to a Dom Kane look very appetizing and hot.

We've already seen some of this (sort of a teaser) in 0.8.2, and I'd be a total liar if I said that what I saw didn't turn me on or didn't like it, hehe. Also, a few "SisSub" pts won't make Olivia weak in terms of fighting/opposing Karlssons sisters and other characters.
