David's Security Cameras

[tiberiansun371alexw]

David wants to setup security cameras around the school because he's paranoid. Ms. grant started a petition and it was hinted in episode 1 that it was on the fence. It is David on one side and peition signers on the other side. If Max signs it, the peition is just long enough that Principal Wells nixes the idea. On the other hand, if Max ignores it, the cameras are implemented. It is implied that the word of his security officier is worth more on security matters than a short list of students and teachers.

But wait! David can also be put on leave after episode 2. So... the camera system's only backer looks like a paranoid snooper in the eyes of the pincripal. So how can the cameras still go ahead?

I mean they pretty much are a moot point since all the bad stuff happens in the Dark Room plus wherever Nathan gets the girls (probably not the school itself anyways), but it still doesn't make sense that in episode 3, Wells gives the OK. Am I overthinking tihs?

The problem is with many videogames and LIS is one of them. You only see what is a tiny percentage of the populace of something. In regards to Blackwell we see two teachers and a reference to a third who is on sick leave. We do see that there is more than one security guard as the security guard who appears in the pool at night isn't David. In terms of the faculty and students there has to be more potentially in support of it than just David. As it is unlikely to be as simplistic as an opposed point between David & Mrs Grant.

Oh, I knew the other security gaurds exist. It's just that Ms. Grant implies that David was the only gaurd who wanted them. And if Max signs the petition and stop the cameras (to be fair... it was on the fence and the fence has to be at some cutoff, so it's plausible), the email principal Wells sends to David also implies David was the only one who wanted them (although it was never stated). I guess this accidentally teaches a real life lesson: don't take implied messages too deeply.

Since I was under the (presumably mistaken) impression David was the only one who wanted the cameras, I thought the system's only backer was discredited and the caemras would get rejected.

Since they don't get rejected if the only thing that happens is David being put on leave, I guess the cameras must have other backs like the other gaurds seen in the pool episode. I like the pool episode.
