Dear Friend.Depends who you include: besides the 13 listed on the Stats pages, there's Mabel (carnival), Scarlett, Porsche, Evie, Bubbles, Fiona (at Natasha's party), the librarian, the older woman whose name I forget (Marika?) at Keith's party, 2 cosplayers and 2 LARPers at the convention, 2 strippers on the date with Debbie, the old woman who watches you streak across the beach with Jolina; and 4 cross-over characters from My Sister My Roommate/The Cabin. And no doubt I've forgotten some others.
First of all, my best wishes to you. Health money and love.
It is heartwarming to see the incredible accounting effort made to increase the number of women present in our harem. Thanks to your detailed count, I believe there are more than thirty. However, how far we are still from the great Turkish or Chinese harems. Suffice it to remember that the Jataka, the famous compilation of legends about the great lords before Buddha, assures that the harem of King Tamba of Benares was made up of more than 16,000 women. Given these figures, we must agree that our harem is poor.
On the other hand, there is one aspect to this whole matter that our dear VN writers have neglected. I am referring to the issue of eunuchs. Who will take care of our harem if we don't have eunuchs? This represents a huge logistical problem. However, I believe that if we ask with due devotion, the authors will gladly include a series of castrated characters that we can count on to guard the walls of our enclosure while we are away.
Without further ado, I say goodbye to you, sending you a cordial greeting.
