Are the "career residents" the ones who are like ghosts? By that I mean the ones who've been here a long time and act like they've been brainwashed.
[He only gets more discouraged as he reads the rest of the message. "Those who had sex with many different people left a much stronger impression?" First of all, how does he even know each person's bed count? And second of all, ergh! There goes his last resort! The one where he approaches the House and asks them to cut him a deal: no sleeping with 52 people, just sleeping with the same person 52 times, in 52 different positions or whatever! He hadn't really expected it to work, but if all they want is "energy" and the chance to voyeur, there's a chance they might have gone for it!]
Then it doesn't run on sex, it runs on promiscuity. Which is fine if that's what you're into, but I'm through with it.
[That's, er. That's not how he meant to phrase that.
But he's so distracted by other stuff that he fails to notice his slip-up.]
This still leaves countless questions. For starters, why do they let people rank up and down? If they want everyone to have sex with as many different people as possible, letting others change rank is counterproductive. You can sleep with the same person twice, once before they change rank and once afterwards, and it will count as collecting two "cards," or so they say. One girl even came up with a strategy where she and a group of friends rank up and down repeatedly to reduce the number of people they have to sleep with. Is that permitted, or is it not?
And this all makes it sound even less likely that they'll truly let us go home. I mean, just think about it: it doesn't make *any* sense that they would. There are only three explanations:
1. 52 is a magic number. It stops giving the House energy once you've slept with 52 people, so they let everyone go home once that magic number is reached.
2. 52 isn't a magic number, but they're perfectly happy to let go of valuable "energy sources" who've already given them tons of help just out of the goodness of their hearts.
3. The "we'll let you go home after you complete the game!" thing is a lie, and they don't intend to let anyone go. Everyone just ends up like J.
I'm most inclined to believe the last one. Unlike in a detective show, the simplest explanation usually proves true in real life.
As for what else they might want from us, I wonder if *that* has something to do with those suit effects. Half of those don't seem the slightest bit conducive to intimacy: things like having nightmares and acting violent towards others won't help you "collect cards." If anything, those will hinder card collection. I know that if anyone got violent with me, I wouldn't go to bed with them. I'd simply tell them, "See you in court next month!"
Which begs the question: do they even want us to complete the game?
