so ill post this here as well, hopefully it helps people!
OK so I'm feeling super generous so imma explain this as best as I can, best way to learn this is to just follow my example!
The spreadsheet was gotten from a guy on the forums named Erwing, however you can use your own or someone else's as long as its right.
1: talk to Shuan to find what to say next to the person your trying to get
2: open this

3: starting from one go up the list to find what number your on
for example if your trying for Elsie and Shuan says you need to say playing then your most likely on number 2 in the order.
so your next talk path will be playing - fashion - dating
again you find the # your on here

IF YOUR SECOND CHOICE FAILS!!!
then you are farther up the list, the list doesn't go up unless you succeed and I don't think failing decreases it, so just find the next number with the word and try the one after that.
for example using the previous example, if fashion fail then find the next number with playing which is #6, and try the one after, #7. if that fails find the next playing (#9, and try #10).
Once you have your place in the order just follow it, sometimes a special convo will start I think it takes the place of the number your on. so if it popped up instead of #7, your next choice would be #8 not #7!
