VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[ChipLecsap]

It is possible that it is a drug-related pun, but I think it is essentially a 'seasonal' reminder of the arrival of Christmas.
So in all likelihood another chapter in which little or nothing will happen with a strong final twist

forever pessimistic huh?

it is Interesting to get the episode title so early. Probably it has more than one meaning, but I do think it's also winter related. I guess some of us might have right about winter comes as early as episode 11 ,and not necessary in the season finale might be true.
If DPC indeed calculating with 4 season, there is not much room left to fuck around anymore, and surprisingly, he didn't say so far that, he gonna use the new rig for improved render quality. .

Never realized that...that would make the theory that it is a girl a lot more likely, because...why else would you even show it as a unisex toilet?

Well, we know for sure that both Derek and Lily used bathroom during exams. So we have a choice to believe Derek who said he didn't cheat and suspect Lily. We could speculate about other students. Or there is something else going on. The risk of being expelled is a possibility. Bella has already mentioned strange results, I wonder what happens when she realizes MC cheated or how it will play out if MC didn't cheat.

because it's 2023, Gender doesn't exist anymore .
joke aside , somehow I always felt it was Lily. didn't Bella named Derek and Lily as her top students? and We know Why people think Derek is a genius, because he usually cheat

[NebulousShooter]

Yes, the MC agreeing to accompany her downtown the following week is an event of the Others' branch only. For the main girls' branches, it seems more unlikely now that Quinn can get the MC involved in her problems.

I dont think its even that hard, she just has to lie and say its a plan to take Vinnie down and MC, while not being Dawe and Arieth level, isnt the smartest guy around.

My money is on Lily because Derek is a known cheater and the way DPC works, if it's obvious, it's a red herring.

speak for yourself.

 

[osculim]

Dawe is certainly failing, I doubt anyone questions that. I'm suspecting the cheat papers belong to Lilly.
This would be inline with DPC's type of 'curve balls'.

It could be but if you check during the exam. When you look at Dawe he is pissed off so he is probably swearing like crazy. Now during chapter 9 when Bella is marking the papers you hear her talk about someone constantly swearing on the test. So my assumption is that is Dawe. She also sees that the answers are correct but its for different questions. That tells me that the cheats were used by him. He is dumb enough to put the wrong answers to the wrong questions.

Where does it say that Priscilla is Burke's lawyer? Burke calls Priscilla after finding out that Maya knows about the tuition for the HOTs even though she didn't get the tuition. Doesn't say she's his lawyer, just seems like she's his superior in the tuition for sex conspiracy. Having the top person in the conspiracy as the lawyer for one of the two founding families of the college makes sense, especially if the conspiracy is far-reaching and something that was already in place prior to Burke and Quinn, they are just the current hands on operators of it.

Quinn is not a subtle operator and Burke isn't the most senior member of staff at B&R he's only at the same level as his wife and as Cathy was before she left. For the tuition for sex operation to be successful there has to be higher powers than Burke protecting the operation, and as far as I can see that suggests a link to the founding families, and as Rusty seems to have no link to it other than using the restaurant (although he wouldn't have a problem with it as far as we can tell) that leaves the Royces, Jill obviously isn't involved (she would have a huge problem with it) but that doesn't mean her family isn't.

There was a reason we were shown Burke calling Priscilla after the Maya meeting, and the next unknown character we're set to meet is the Royce family lawyer. I don't expect the Maya tuition drama to end until season 4, along with all the other overarching storylines. I expect the final scene of ep 10 to be Maya preparing to meet the Royce's lawyer and the cliffhanger to be the start of the meeting with the lawyer saying "Hello Maya, my name is Priscilla.".

Where does it say Priscilla is a laywer to begin with ? It would make way more sense that she is simple the HOT who started the tuiton for sex scheme and Burke is getting worried that it's spreading too far and told her to reel it in.

That would be the same Royce family that kicked their own daughter out for doing drugs that now supports a prostituion for tuition scheme ? According to Jill if you're a Royce there is only one standard and if you don't live up to it you become the "black sheep".

I don't see any conspiracy or operation, I see 5 girls that offer their pussies for tuition and one old, horny rich guy.

Given that Burke doesn't even know that Jill offered Maya her familiy's lawyers help would make your proposed cliffhanger one epic surprise out of left field.

My PC parts have finally arrived, and I'll put the final rig together this weekend when I feel a bit better from this cold I got yesterday - I have a nasty fever.

I've built a decent animation queue again; 47 animations are in the queue (but some will be merged into one). Animations clearly render faster than before, even though I haven't got the final rig of the upgrade into place.

I believe I have six more lewd scenes to write/make animations for, and I will be working on a couple of them shortly.
I completed the animations for the lewd scene I mentioned in last week's update and am currently working on one of the remaining free-roam events - the biggest one of them. I'm working on a scene-by-scene basis, and there's a daily mix of static renders and animations on the schedule.

I will work on cosmetics for this free-roam event, as only a few characters have been clothed. And I also have to make a handful of new environments for it, which is always fun.

Today I'd like to end the update by announcing the episode title.

Episode 10 will be called:

Episode 10 - Calm Before The Snow

Have a nice weekend
Dr PinkCake

 

[TimHawk]

Given Quinn's lack of subtlety regarding the restaurant (she offers it to Fuckface even when he has done nothing to make her think he'd be interested) and Burke's lack of superiority in the college (same level as other teachers) how can it stay secret without higher influence? There's rumours about Burke's free tuition offers (as mentioned in the newspaper article) but no investigation that we know of, or if there has been an investigation it's been stymied at a level higher than Burke.

There's no indication that the prostitution for tuition has anything to do with drugs. The drugs appear to be solely Quinn and Rio, there's no mention of drugs with the interactions between Sarah, Mel or Cam regarding their roles in the restaurant. As the Royce family are upper class they probably don't see a problem with the lower classes prostituting themselves for money, obviously they'd have a problem if Jill was involved but the girls involved just aren't considered important enough to them. It's totally different than their own daughter getting involved with the lower classes and getting hooked on drugs.

Burke doesn't need to know that Maya is being offered legal help from Jill, he contacted his superior because there's problems that might need dealing with at a higher level than he can deal with, he could handle the Mona problem himself by pushing her out of college but he tried that with Maya and she refused to leave so he knows he might need help. It's like Sage didn't know that Maya had already had the chance to get the tuition from her father when she set up the meeting with him but that Quinn had decided that Maya didn't qualify to get the tuition from him, as he found out at the meeting.

If Priscilla is just an old student who ran the restaurant before Quinn why would Burke calling her be important enough for DPC to show us? Priscilla has to be involved in the story somewhere to justify showing us that call and there's not many options for her to enter the story as it's currently set up.

Yes, the restaurant and the drugs are seperate, it's probably how the girls pay for their own drugs and lifestyle.

The rumours and newspaper state that there is free tuition, but not free tuition for sex, which would obviously be investigated, so there is no need for anything to be stymied or investigated.

And given that Burke is at the center of literally everything, like he personally removes Mona's name and details after she left, he told Sage that he still has money in his tuition fund, and he by himself declines Maya's request for help, he himself finds out that the MC fucked his wife by spying on the DIK's, is very strong evidence that there is no conspiracy or operation, especially not one above him or he would have to clear those things first.

The way the Royces have been shown to us so far in the Jill flashbacks and in her description of them, makes it seem like there is zero chance that they would support prostitution at the college their family once founded. And I've never ever seen anyone, let alone anyone rich risk everything for literally nothing, like where is their gain ?

And lastly if you're an old, horny rich guy and by whatever circumstance you find out that there are some lose college girls out there who might trade their pussies for money, the last thing you do is share, or pull anyone else in, because that's how secrets become public. You would always try to keep maximum control and containment.

Priscilla could simple be a tool for DPC to show us how the whole tuition for sex scheme started and possible give the MC another chick to fuck. It's not like DPC wasted a 100 renders on her, it was like 2 renders and 3-4 lines.

 

[iggy.]

Royce family owns the college, I bet they would be pissed off that there is a major prostitution ring going on in their school - school that carries their name, and members of education department are directly involved, using school funds for personal gain, potentially costing some students who truly deserve scholarship a chance to obtain education. Not to mention if news go public, and media finds out, school would suffer huge reputation hit, and in that case B&R is done as school.

Burke is obviously end game boss, and as we approach the end and season 4, he will get more screen time. Priscilla is likely just another "twist" or "swerve" that DPC like to put in, because he is addicted to pulling that bullshit.

 

[BorgiaBou]

Calm Before The Snow!

Christmas is coming soon at B&R!

Yaaay another big ass free roam...

 

[TimHawk]

The newspaper talks about rumours of a "quid pro quo" between donors and acceptors. It doesn't state what the quid pro quo is but the logical assumption from what we know is that it's referring to the sex for tuition, especially as Burke tries to shut the discussion down but does admit that the donors and acceptors are put into contact with each other.

The gain for the Royce family would be investors for the college. The likelihood is that the investors who provide free tuition for sex also provide further investment in the college in order to keep the pipeline strong for their tuitions.

I'm not saying Burke is pulling other people in, I'm saying that he is not the "main man" in the tuition arrangement, it would make little sense for him to have been able to pull off this kind of scam for 2 years without anyone getting suspicious, especially given how Quinn is unable to keep it clandestine.

If as you appear to think Burke is the main man in the whole thing he would not need to warn anyone regarding Maya, and DPC would not need to show the conversation at all, the fact the conversation is there means that Priscilla is important.

But that's even more assumptions on top of your earlier assumptions. We don't know any of that or even have the tiniest hint of any of it.

Like I love a good theory as much as the next guy, but at same point Occam's razor has to be applied.

We have zero evidence that the Royce family is shady or crooked, we have zero evidence that anyone but Burke is involved, so far we have zero knowledge who Pricsilla is or that she is important, we have zero evidence of any investors and we have zero evidence of any conspiracy that goes higher up than Burke.

As i said before, to me it seems way more like that Pricsilla will talk to the girls and tell them to dial it down or their free tuition goes poof than that she is Jill's family lawyer and eventually she might become just another side girl for the MC to stick his dick in.

 

[TimHawk]

Explain how given Quinn offers the restaurant to absolutely anyone (as proven by her offering it to Massive CHICK Fuckface with no indication he'd be interested) it's still a secret after 2 years if Burke is the highest rung it goes to? All it takes is Quinn offering it to the wrong person who reports it and there's no way Burke would have been able to convince Jade and Cathy (who hold/held the same level of superiority as him in the college as we saw when Jill reported Chad "bullying" Fuckface) not to launch an investigation into the allegation. Burke doesn't have the power in the college to cover for Quinn when she's inevitably slipped up and offered it to the wrong person, someone higher up has to have covered it up.

I don't see how Burke would care what Quinn/Rio/Cammy/Mel/Sarah do in their free time, he will have his own deal in place with them. It's what the girls do to make money, they prostitute themselves and sell drugs. We only know that the girls run both without any involvement from Burke, because as you probably know, after Quinn gets robbed, she doubles her drug prices and also raises the price for sex temporary, independed of any restaurant.

How much of a secret those two buisnesses are...I don't know, but given how carefull Quinn was with Lily, I would assume at least in their drugs dealings, she is applying due caution.

According to Cammy at the Prep party, their sex buisness appears to be much bigger than we ever see and we don't know if the restaurant is their main way of handeling it or the way mel/sarah prefer, just walking up to lonely guys, getting them hot and then telling them if they want the candy, they gotta pay.

Free tuition is great and all, but those girls still gotta live and especially their drug habbits probably don't come cheap.

 

[KАRАMBA]

Explain how given Quinn offers the restaurant to absolutely anyone (as proven by her offering it to Massive CHICK Fuckface with no indication he'd be interested)

Why explain the obvious things ? Quinn offers restaurant services to Fuckface, because she craves him. She does it instinctively to attract his attention, to interest him. It's just the natural charm of Fuckface. Magic. Yes, that's how it works.

 

[TimHawk]

It's clear Burke is involved in the restaurant, and as the newspaper confirms rumours of a "quid pro quo" with the investors in the free tuition (and Burke admits that the girls are "put into contact" with the investors) it's likely that the investors also get sexual favours from the restaurant. But Burke doesn't have the power to stop any investigation into it if a student reports Quinn for offering students for sex for payment, and she is not careful enough to make sure that no-one who receives the offer would report it, there has to be higher up cover to keep it secret.

As I said earlier the sex part of the restaurant is totally separate to the drugs side (only Quinn and Rio are involved with the drugs), the price raising from Quinn was for her own profit to cover her losses after getting robbed, Burke probably doesn't even know about the price rise as it was only for the students, not for him or the investors who probably don't pay for sex each time as the tuition covers all the sex they get from the girls.

I think you are confusing things. We have 3 seperate things : 1. The restaurant, 2. The drugs, 3. The tuition.

1&2 is how the girls make money to live on and pay for their drugs. The only sex related statement we have on that is Quinn saying to Rio "Mel and Sarah almost pay for themselves." And everyone here assumed that it means that Quinn&Rio upfront the cost for their personal use drugs and then the girls pay them back via their prostitution buisness. Quinn seems to be the head of both buisnesses since she sets the prices for the other girls to follow.

The tuition is an upfront payment of 15-25k$ for each girl every 6 months and we don't know what deal they have in place with Burke on what they have to do for it.

We don't know if each of them has to sleep with him whenever he feels like it, or if he has some fetishes or if they agreed on a certain number of times or if he wants to watch them fuck eachother. We have to wait until that part is revealed to us.

If you were trying to point out that Burke doesn't have to pay extra for any restaurant offers, then yea, I'd agree that seems obvious.

Calm before the snow, I assume this has a double meaning the episode is going to be right before Christmas and shit about to happen. All I want for Christmas is to have sex with Josy under the Christmas tree

Do you expect big changes in the next chapter? A chapter entitled 'the calm'... That would be strange, to say the least.

Then if I am wrong I am happy anyway

 

[dalli_x]

Could be the book. Could still be the box too. Maby both. The game would not point you to some random box if it was not important somehow. Maby the book have the solution for the box puzzle. As for the book and dik secrets it might be but not worth alot to most people. Heck so Jade cheated her husband would freak out but so did he. The MC Meh so what he fucked a teacher. Jamie hiding his gardening skills. Barely worth it

I have not written so that the black box is unimportant. But such a black box would be noticed immediately when searching a bookshelf.

Such a DIK secret book would not be of much value to many people, but it would be of great value to the people who want the DIK harm. What if, for example, it told how Rusty smuggles alcohol past campus security. Jamie's gardening skills are of no interest, of course, but who knows who else has used the DIK secret code besides Jacob, Jamie and Rusty? Vinny used to be a DIK too, and Tommy even has Josy wondering how he made it to college.

DPC could use a book like this to conjure up sudden secrets from the past that were never hinted at in the game, creating drama.
