Mayor Lewis & Marnie Night Time Rendezvous BUSTED

[alanisman1]

POSSIBLE SPOILERS

I caught Mayor Lewis & Marnie having a secret nighttime rendezvous outside of his house and I wanted to know the repercussions of the choice given.

Normally, I want to make everyone happy so "keeping it a secret" seems friendlier, but his reasoning for keeping their relationship a secret is pointless...as if anyone in town would care if they dated each other. And being "out" would be much less stressful.

I Googled it and couldn't find a single thing, so I'm sharing my result. Lol

So I said "I'm going to tell everyone" thinking it would be a happy ending for everyone! Wrong! The mayor cried in my face and called me a horrible person. <tear>

But I spoke to him immediately after the cutscene and it was like nothing ever happened. We're still 10/10 and all is good in the world. As far as I know...

TL;DR

"I'll keep it a secret!" -- Mayor Happy
"I'll tell everyone!" -- Mayor Sad

Either way -- No major changes

Some of the cutscenes/story elements are such dead ends, even the romantic ones can feel half assed sometimes which is why I was so surprised how much eggort seems to have been put in with every element of Emily... Haley your opening jars but Emily your appearing in a 3 minute trippy dream sequence.

Better watch out. I've always had the Mayor pegged as an ax-murderer, what with him coming by your farm after 2:00 in the morning. He may just chop you up and then Marnie will feed your bits to the chickens!

It is kind of weird how few businesses there are and how their performances are very uneven.


Pierre not only maintains a shop that stays open 6 or 7 days a week despite not selling anything that needs restocking often (basic cooking ingredients), he's also a farmer who grows produce. Who knows how that's even possible. And why the produce doesn't show up in his shop's inventory. Or where he grows it. It would make more sense if Caroline managed the small shop while he farmed, but apparently that's not how it works.

Marnie raises animals; at the very least, she's got lots of chickens, some goats and some cows. However, she never sells any animal products, only equipment that would be used by competitors. It's like owning a pancake restaurant that produces pancakes but doesn't sell the pancakes and instead sells pancake-making equipement so that people don't need to buy pancakes from a restaurant. It's completely insane.

The Saloon is the only place that should honestly make a decent amount of gold given how heavily frequented it is and how expensive the stuff is.

Willy sells fishing equipment, but not a lot of villagers fish and they probably don't buy a lot of stuff at his shop. Presumably he makes his living selling the fish that he catches, but again, none ever appear in his shop's inventory.

Clint opens geodes and upgrades farming tools. He doesn't offer smelting services but instead gives furnace blueprints to people. He must not get a whole lot of business.

Robin's a carpenter. Not sure how much business she gets.

Harvey's clinic looks like it barely ever has any business besides annual check-ups. He's lucky there are only 112 days in a year.

Somehow these people manage to pay enough taxes to fund a library and museum.

Basically, this town was designed by a crazy person.

I lost it on the pancake resturant selling pancake-making equipment and started cough-laughing

I just feel I should notice the mark up that Mayor lewis gets for your goods is really quite appalling.

wood for example sells for 2-3G and buys for 10 G

most items when they get a bulletin board offer sell for 3x what lewis gives you, with what I assume is the market rate for the item.

how would you feel if you grew corn and sold it for 50 when it sold on the market for 150? you know what that means, no matter how rich you are, mayor lewis is twice as rich as you are. more than that because he has no expenses.

bastard probably invited joja into the valley to make a quick buck.

Sorry, but I don’t think you know that much about raw material sales.

1. Wood sells for 2-3, but Robin sells for 10g because she’s the only one who sells it. She could mark it up to 50g and there’s nothing you can do.

Bulletin board offers(even in real life) are often more expensive than what it should actually be; people want something, they need you not the opposite.

2. If you grow corn for 50g, and someone else sells it for 150g, then that is fair. The person who’s selling the corn had to buy it from you for 50g, so if they magically sold it for that much they would only profit it 100g. But they don’t magically sell it just like that, they have to either sell it to someone else for at least 50g to make a profit, or find a manufacturer/processor. This is on top of transport costs, and spoilage/degradation of product.

Even if you sell it straight to a Pierre, he’ll mark up the price a bunch to.

3. But on top of all this, I also agree that the Mayor probably could’ve been the one to invite Joja. TBH even if Joja is underhandedly undercutting Pierre, some competition for a monopoly in a small town is still good.
