College Tennis: Origin Story (WIP) - Updated 7 Nov '24 [621k words]

Huh, i just did a rerun and it turns out the highest score you can get on the suprise test is actually 85 out of 100.(sorry for bringing it up if this is something everyone else was well aware of)
But the dialogue with Diego afterwards is a bit strange though, as he still says i missed out on the top score by a single point, even though the top score is still 85/100.

Also another piece of dialogue i found a bit odd was this, “It would be wise to start off an untested pair in the No. 1 spot.” in 4-1 with the coaches and rayyan.
is it really wise to have a untested pair in the first spot?
or is this something that is done in doubles?

Eh, not for me my mc might be a tennis ace but he’s driven by a clueless player.

Also finally had time to finish a playthrough the new Tobin bits are adorable, if he doesn’t go pro he’d make a fine chef. :hugs:

My mc is also sticking with Rayyan because he’s stubborn too and he’ll prove to R he can win actual matches too, not just training games. :persevere:

If i had to wager a guess the 85 is the highest the MC can get but that doesnt mean that somebody else cant get higher.

No, professor sackler himself annouces that the highest score in the class is 85. And then Diego says no matter which dialogue option you choose "You missed out on the top score by a single point. " It’s in 2-2.

@ChairmanMeow I think I solved this, but let me know if the problem persists!

And this should be “wouldnt be wise” haha thanks for the shout!

Is the game supposed to be gay, cause I was wondering most of the names on the team are masculine. I was just wondering. :smiley_cat:

Haha nope! It’s supposed to lean as much towards a female team as male – I looked at a bunch of gender neutral names and picked from there though i can totally see what you’re saying e.g. re: Emerson. “Jacks” as opposed to “Jack” was used because I imagine Jacks to be a chosen nickname for F!Jacks (maybe a Jacqueline).

I did notice while on a female college sports team that that because of the overall jockiness of female sports teams, a lot of folks with feminine names tend to choose more gender neutral/even masculine-leaning names/nicknames.

If anything, because I played on a female team, I sometimes do think the banter/teammate interactions that I have experienced are probably colored female, so I inadvertently have that lens on, but I do try to actively re-read and make sure it works okay for a men’s team too :slight_smile:

I adore Sam as a character, and I’ve been racking my brain over who my MC would choose between Sam and G, but as I was thinking about it, I had an awful realization. Besides not wanting to tank their lifelong relationship, I think my MC (intense, reserved, workaholic) would be super terrified of recreating with Sam what happened with her own parents. I think Sam’s kind of flighty attitude and lack of consistency in sticking with one thing/interest reminds her of her mother.

The long form is “I would have taken your room”. @burninglights tried to put in two abbreviations in one word, and then kept it because she didn’t listen to me when I pointed this out. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hmm…maybe she didn’t notice…though she is also writing another WIP (Merry Crisis)
so maybe she forgot. :grin:

Well that’s college dorms for ya. Even the contractions have to double bunk.

Seems more like trying to capture how American English can sound in text form, to me. People genuinely speak like that, though I’d’ve spelled it with another apostrophe to signify that the ‘ve’ is a third word being smooshed on. :stuck_out_tongue:

Okay not to be pedantic but to be pedantic firstly it’s not an abbreviation it’s a contraction and technically I’dve isn’t wrong if you add another ’ like so “I’d’ve” it’s certainly uncommon but it isn’t technically wrong for the same reasons something like should’t’ve or couldn’t’ve a contraction of should not have and could not have respectively isn’t wrong. Double contractions are just rare and really informal so you don’t often see them in writing even though most native speakers say them frequently and just don’t notice.

Double contractions are just not used in English writing. They’re not a thing. They are, in fact, technically wrong in writing.

Just like stuff like “should of”, and “sward” when ttalking about the weapon.

I think, properly in english, it should have been, “I’d have taken your room.” But english was never my strongest point in school. Thank yhe heavens for spell check and grammar check.
