Author's Commentary #143:
Time to talk about Chapter 143: Mimoko vs Maestro Wiley Frisch.
The final game of Season 4 is here, and it's a showdown between Mimoko and Maestro Frisch. Originally, I actually planned for Wiley to become president, which is why his rating is 3050, in order to reference the fact that he'd be the leader of all 50 US states. However, as I finalized my ideas for the arc, I decided it would be better for him not to.
Wiley was never intended to be a good person. Morally grey at best. However, when I finalized on what his relationship with Sheila would be, I felt he at the least didn't deserve to be rewarded. While it is tragic that his family was killed in a political protest turned violent, it doesn't excuse how he treated Sheila.
Speaking of Sheila, she's now free to do what she wants with her life thanks to the wager Wiley made with Mimoko. She's also got friends like Katie and Sandy who will stick by her side and even push back against the party if they begin to turn on her. However, Clifford being the asshole that he is would turn on her without question if the party deemed her a traitor, which is why he deserved both those kicks he received.
Finally, the next chapter will be the last chapter of season 4. Season 5 won't begin immediately, but instead, I'll be listing my top 10 favorite and least favorite games and characters in the series. You won't want to miss it.
That's all for this commentary. I hope you enjoyed it.
