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

[JJ1960]

I don't think Sage went to him for that.... she went to ask him for a 'normal' scholarship, which her adoptive father should have given to a friend of his daughter's just because she asked him. not the best of plans


then burke's plan isn't so clear-cut and defined,because all this risk to have sex with 3 students is a little disproportionate.

Do you think that Sage knows there are hooker scholarships as well as regular student scholarships? Because if you do you really haven't paid any attention to the game. Sage thinks they are all normal.

Burke had no intention of giving Maya anything unless he was absolutely convinced she would put out and keep her mouth shut. He is probably very good at figuring out what girls will and what girls won't, based potentially on recommendations from Quinn and some other recruiters. It doesn't mean that he hasn't got some legit scholarships for favored students (Chad, anyone?) to provide cover when people start asking why only delectable females seem to get all of them. After Mona bailed and he ran the risk of her yapping to someone about the arrangements he was setting up Burke was very careful about having another possible witness (who was familiar with if not friends with) the girl who could make a credible accusation. If two girls went to the press with the same story about his little operation it would be the end of him. Burke could have thrown Sage a bone and given one to Maya, but then he'd get pushback from the hotties who also got one but had to bang his wrinkled old friends for it.

I'm pretty sure it's not just Burke who gets to fuck the students, it's also the investors as well. In the newspaper article there's mention of rumours of a "quid pro quo" and Burke admits that the recipients of the scholarship are "put into contact" with the investors but insists that there's no obligations, however from what we know about the restaurant that's unlikely to be true. In return for getting the investors (as well as himself) students to fuck, Burke is likely to receive significant sums of money on top of the scholarships that the investors are paying.

it seems to me a very impassable road for DPC, the girls in the restaurant even in the hands of other rich, older men... in a game where you are either a virgin or abstinent for years would be out of place

What are you talking about? When did I say Sage knows?

 

[Orgitas]

Sage wouldn't know about the "special scholarshp" she doesn't even know about Quinn's "Restaurant" business. Given how she is, I am sure she would be livid considering she is President of the House and her parents are professors at the College as well as donors. She is constantly in heat, but she has standards.. Mostly.

 

[Jumbi]

Is this a preview for ep 10?

Kinda of. It's a picture MC will post on Rooster

It is indeed a regular preview for episode 10.

[FusiFranse]

... Burke figured out that Maya wasn't a candidate while talking with her so erased her info off of the tuition provision form he was in the middle of completing and then fed her some BS about other ways to pay for school to cover himself with Sage. He wiped Mona's application also when she bailed out; that is why she left school since she didn't have any money to pay tuition after she met with Burke.

There is some more behind the scenes of Burke and Maya talking to each other about the scholarship.
As you said, we saw him erase a similar form when Mona stormed out in the middle of night (those scenes were deleted by DPC but in previous releases shown, right? Wouldn't be the first time DPC changed some things in previous releases.)
But in these scenes he already entered all details for a scholarship and had already entered a sponsor.
Just as Maya mentions that she is about to enter the HOTs, his keyboard sound is heard twice and on his screen he completely erases her name. All within 3 pictures.
His interrogation becomes noncommittal and defensive, as does his body language.
After Maya left the room he calls Priscilla "we have to talk", which is indicating Priscilla was waiting for his call or something only the two of them know and for their ears only...
Stephen lives a double life and his wife, after telling the MC a few things in the lecture hall, doesn't even seem to know anything about it. And how the heck did he manage to get the DIK's proof off their laptop for MC and Jade banging.
But... there is Josy and as we already know, she was talking to Jill who happens to have a lawyer at hand ....

 

[JJ1960]

You said Sage went to ask for a "normal" scholarship, which implies that she knows there is a different kind. If that's not what you meant then my apologies.

 

[felicemastronzo]

I don't think it'll ever be stated explicitly who else uses the restaurant, the insecure members of the fanbase would riot over it. However anyone with half a braincell knows Fuckface is not the only user of the restaurant and it doesn't really matter who else is using the girls.

We'll probably only be told that Burke got the extra payments himself for each girl who got scholarships but we won't be told what the investors got in return, it'll be left for the players to work out, and those players who believe that the girls only exist in the game for Fuckface will probably make up some ludicrous story to protect their precious waifus from having had to fuck the investors.

If the narrator hides every clue then it is not the fault of the reader who does not understand.... A restaurant where the prostitution was so extreme, we're talking about girls pampering middle-aged men, would be decidedly extreme for a tale that treads the themes of american pie and not requiem for a dream

well if the player base are in fact over 18 yrs old, I'm pretty sure they should have figured that out in Mona's scene where she walks out on Burk in disgust. Although, I'll admit to being a realist and won't hold my breath on that one, so you could be onto something. lol

I have a pet theory that the restaurant is Quinn's little operation only and doesn't have anything to do directly with Burke's scholarship program. Quinn uses it to pay for her personal recreational drugs and other expenses by taking a cut from the business she sets up for Sarah, Mel, Riona, Camilla, etc. That's why she ran short, either she was using too much or bought some expensive exotics (like the syringe she shares with Tommy) and blames Riona for smoking for free when confronted about it. Her addiction is getting more expensive and that's why she needs to expand.

The scholarships are a side deal for Quinn as she's just in procurement for Burke and gets a commission when one of her recommendations signs on. The scholarship girls already don't have a problem putting out for tuition, so picking up some extra money working for Quinn when their major benefactors aren't in town would be an easy next step. Burke probably knows about the restaurant (is likely a customer from time to time) and may even approve of it since that's another lever he can use to control the girls in the scholarship program who don't want their local prostitution activities coming to light.

I have just watched this episode from Sunny and it's so freaking good

 

[znar25]

It makes me wonder if MC on man-whoring route may already have crabs...

Wearing the skirt at the party made it easier to scratch.

 

[znar25]

I fully agree with you there. I assume so that the MC is heartbroken, probably by a breach of trust.

Rox mentioned too small Quinn during the chess game so trust can be taken immediately. In EP4 during Rusty and the MC's conversation in the Pink Rose, Rusty stated so that the MC has a hard time trusting and that is a good thing. In view of this preview, which shows the MC in a desolate state, something has happened or the MC has experienced something that he must first process. The question is only, what?

View attachment 2631199

1. Walked in on Bella going down on Jill and Jill screaming Bella's name.
2. MC's dad died.
3. Upset that Sage made him do prison sex.
4. Jill just won't give head, so he dumped her.
5. He thinks someone is following him and needs Rio's help. (It is probably Madame stalking him).
6. Bella is literally wearing him out. So much so, the other day, he went down on her and fell asleep.
7. A while back he was banging Sage and asked for investment advice at the same time. The stocks are turning sour. When he mentioned it to Sage, she said, "Stop being a pussy. There is always risk. Now get over there, I got a new strap on I want to try out. On you. And I don't want to hear anything--no god damn investment questions or anything--except for my name. Really loud!"

To be even more fair, she should be interested in Economics instead. Could help her with her finances.. lol

She should be teaching the class.

Riona "We stop what we're doing, right now. No more new girls. None of this fucking "expanding" bullshit!"
Riona "We stick to the original plan, with the current girls and maybe Camila"
Riona "and we just sell what we need to sell, on top of our obligations..."
Riona "...then we cut our losses and we move on..."
Riona "...before this gets harder to keep up with."
Riona "And I'm still fucking concerned about who's been spreading that HOTs give free tuition."
Quinn "Don't worry about it. It's just a stupid rumor."
Quinn "We can dismiss that easily."
Quinn "We just have to make sure that the girls keep their lids shut."
Quinn "And we can't cut back, we're so close now!"
Quinn "Look at Sarah and Melanie! They are paying for themselves and more, at this point."

Whoever figures that Season 3 conversation out, is 98% closer to the final answer, because it clearly implies that they sell drugs/use their restaurant to a) first pay back some "obligation" and b) use the extra for their personal drug use.

So one basically has to figure out the following questions:

1) What's Quinn's and Riona's "original plan" ?
2) How can Quinn unilaterally decide to expand their buisness if they need a sugar-daddy for each girl ?
3) What exactly is that mandatory obligation they need to pay back first ?
4) What losses would they cut ?
5) How can any of the girls pay for herself if it's not about her drug use, since that's clearly extra ?
6) What are they "so close to" now ?

perfect example: the only time we see the restaurant working (withou MC), we see a girl refusing to do anything with Burke. so the only evidence is a denial. and we're talking about a character who at that point has disappeared, so she could do anything and it wouldn't emotionally impact any player.

Wait! Neil, what did you do?

 

[NebulousShooter]

Do you think that Sage knows there are hooker scholarships as well as regular student scholarships? Because if you do you really haven't paid any attention to the game. Sage thinks they are all normal.

Chad had an athletic scholarship, there is no way there are not other types of lets say more legit scholarships, but Burke, after he learned that Maya has heard rumors about the 'free tuition' pussyed out and didn't want her anywhere close to his side business.

 

[Amedore]

You'll have to provide some examples. The only "woke" characters are Dany and the other feminists and they are clearly ridiculed as such (and the MC can more or less kick Dany out of the Halloween party for being a buzzkill). I don't get what else is woke about the game. Or do you want there to be a choice for the MC that when he finds out Chad and Troy are gay, he calls for them to be put to death, as instructed in Leviticus? Or he should align with Maya's dad and send her to conversion camp? Not wanting to kill gay people or allowing women to make choices about their education and personal lifestyles isn't woke, dude. That's pretty mainstream behavior in most of the civilized world anymore. If you don't like it that's not DPC's fault.

The fact that DPC has decided to make conservative people the villains of this game in the woke subplots. The father of Maya is a biased character as no others. He's a religious person, so... he's evil. I'll tell you something: religious parents love their children and don't try to ruin their lives even if they don't approve their lifestyles. And Tybalt is a character that could wear a hat of "MAGA"... so DPC has decided to make him the most ridiculous and over the top character of the game, not a good trait at all.

But DPC is way more understanding and sympathetic with other characters way more close to the woke culture and ideology. MC have to at least remain a close friend of Maya, even if she's a cheater, and to have pity of Chad and Troy, a couple of aggressive assholes... because they are gay. Conservative characters are ridiculed in this game, but gays are is bleached even if they are cheaters and bullies. That's really woke. But hey, DPC has included a few jokes about feminazis made by the idiot of the game that is always punished for making those jokes, so he's not woke... right?

Anyway, at this point any rational conversation about this topic is impossible in this thread. 99% of the people here are diehard fans of DPC, woke themselves, or both. I will be lucky is this post is not reported by you or any other, and the mods delete it. Actually, I'm here just to see if there are news about this game.

Hah.
YOu've not met many actually religious people then.
I've met both the "evangelical Christian who will burn you at the stake while smiling at you" variant and the "fundamental islamist who will cut your head off on camera" variant. (University was weird)

And I've met lots of sorts in between.

Maya's father tracks very neatly into reality. Hell, I know two muslim dads, three christian dads and while I didn't meet the dad himself, know of him through his son a Jewish dad who is exactly, exactly like this.

These people exist in real life. Hell, Maya's dad is the most realistic person in this story if you ask me.

Wait! Neil, what did you do?

What's the problem with Neil's silver teeth? We know that MCs dad is quite poor. He can't afford the gold ones (it's also very gypsy thing and practice). And even more so, he can't afford an expensive prosthesis, ceramics and similar stuff. So in his position, the choice is not particularly big - to live without teeth or to sparkle with silver ones. And since we see him with such teeth even in Lynette diary scenes, this means that he lost his teeth at a fairly young age. Whatever the reason is, but shit happens. It's definitely not a rendering problem, because he is the only one person in whole game with such teeth.

As for Josy and even MC himself, that's not a rendering problem either. Well-cleaned, literally polished teeth reflect light very well and shine. And the more you bare them, the more this effect can be. While partially covered with lips or with an incomplete smile, this effect can be almost imperceptible. Sit under a light source, smile broadly and look at your teeth in a small mirror. If you are not a heavy smoker or you brush your teeth more than once a week, then you will see glare and even partial reflections in them.

You must be registered to see the links

The brighter the light, the less "metallic" effect is. But when lights is dull or unregular, then teeth can give fancy glare or highlites.
And different models which were used in game have different teeth, their color tone and shiness level too. Just imagine how weird and unnatural it would look if every character will have identical "cloned" teeth. Ok... they mostly are, since we don't see any person with IRL like teeth (sometimes not ideal, sometimes a bit crooked, whatever else, etc). But in such games, such particular imperfections are not what you really want to look at and enjoy.
