I wonder why is she having DIK score. Are we going to play as her again?
Zoey? Interlude likely dictates her attitude from Episode 9 onwards. Whether she will be more kind or not. I'd like to think that, down the line, you'll be able to re-ignite things with Zoey but it depend on whether you are the same, as in Dick or Chick. But if one is a Chick and the other a Dick things won't work out, or something.

another one of DPC stupid ideas, to have her two personality, because it's necessary that the same scene should have 2 different dialogue for an NPC too, not only for MC.:rolleyes:

It has never taken him more than 12 months to release an update. 9 months is the most. Plus he releases more content than most others with his chapters AND he is doing it on his own and still manages.
I mean, a chapter ago you could say 6 months is the longest an update has ever taken...

Although I don't disagree that DPC is better than a lot of other devs on this website, saying we have 1 update a year isn't really the most unfair descriptor. I mean, even if we assume no chapter takes longer than 9 months, we would have one release per year for the next 2 years. And that's assuming the dev times don't get longer, which really isn't a safe assumption at all considering the trend of the past 3 chapters. If any of the next 3 chapters take even a month longer than 9 months, it would be 3 straight years of only one release per year. So although it's not technically "12+ months per update" we're still only getting one chapter in each individual year.

In one calendar year, yeah one update, but in actuality it is two updates in a span of a year. Depends how you wish to look at it. He has done four episodes ( soon to be 5) plus Interlude since 2020. Of which, since Ep 5 the development has slowly taken longer and longer. So a 7-9 month cycle is likely to be the norm (unless he decides to do something crazy).

I really don't mind the wait because I know he'll deliver and it'll be great. Worth the wait. Wouldn't want him to rush it to release once every 3 months, or so, as that'll just drag down the product.

That's an interesting thought. Maybe we'll have to retake her role further down the story for some reason. I wouldn't rule out that idea entirely.

I really hope,dev will give us opportunity to meet Tommy's mom and especially Dereck's mom.
Derek's mom, being also Maya's and still being Patrick's wife, looks like a safe bet. Monica (I think that's the name of Josy's stepmother), probably too at some point.

Well, pretty sure you'll be meeting Maya's, and Derek's, parents in the next episode. If not in Ep 10, deffo Ep 11. Some of the previews (and one of the title screen pictures) places you, and maya, on a rainy residential street. The title screen picture depicts the MC, Maya and Derek fooling around outside of a house near the garage. So, odds are, that'll all come into play very soon.

I agree with you about the other things. But they don't prove Stephen Burke is shady. A jerk for cheating on his sexy wife Jade, but not shady.

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."


Riona confirms in EP2 so it's just a rumor. If Quinn is telling the truth to Riona here, then Mona doesn't get the scholarship because of Quinn's offer because that it's just a rumor. But if Quinn lies to Riona here, then you can't trust Quinn's conversation with Mona at the beginning of EP6 because she'll probably lie then too. The joke of it is, with both of them showing possibilities, so that Quinn is not working with Stephen Burke in any way. So how did Mona get this grant? It wasn't through Quinn.

So you have to wonder which person is close enough to Stephen Burke to get him to award a grant or else, to issue grants in the name of and on behalf of Stephen Burke.

Little hint. When Stephen Burke deletes Mona's scholarship, Cathy's letter of resignation is right next to it. I assume so Cathy issued Mona the scholarship, but not because she is supposed to have sex, with the scholarship provider, but because Mona lied about her relationship with the MC.

In EP2, Bella said to the MC that he is the woman theme. We know so that the winner of Hell Week of DIKs gets a special prize. What prize is there for the winner of the scavenger hunt? The scavenger itself? Who or what is the scavenger? The MC and the Lynette's family pay the Girlfriend's school fees.

This is also the drama that awaits us, because the MC will find out about all this. My fear is so this could lead to the throuples break up. Maya tells me too often so she trusts the MC.

I don't know if anyone else had the same feeling as me, but the choices of Ep. 9 was very confusing and not at all clear to the player. I had a hard time understanding which choices I should go with based on the route I chose (CHICK and 100% faithful to the girl chosen in Ep.8). For example, when hugging Riona in Ep.9, does the player strengthen trust and friendship with her to have an ally in the future or simply fulfill a requirement for Riona's route? Speaking of Riona, why is telling Riona you're already in a relationship is considered a NEUTRAL choice and not CHICK? I found the MC's attitude much more douchebag when choosing CHICK (he just walks out without saying why), since when choosing NEUTRAL the MC gives tips to Riona in case she wants a relationship with someone in the future. Lastly and most confusingly, when JB asks what Zoey is to the MC, what should the MC answer if he wants to forget about Zoey and move on? Same goes for the MC who wants a relationship with Zoey, would saying she's just an ex-girlfriend close off future possibilities with her or give Zoey even more hope? Anyway, I found the lack of clarity in the choices very strange and I think they should be more intuitive. If anyone understands how to interpret these scenarios I mentioned please let me know how you interpret it.

Well, technically it should be four different dialogues, haha.
DIK MC & DIK Zoey,
DIK MC & CHICK Zoey,
CHICK MC & DIK Zoey,
CHICK MC & CHICK Zoey

You know, regarding the possibility of a traitorous DIK, a way to offer a real twist of who might be the genuine traitor is if DPC makes it... Jacob. It would definitely flip the script when you think of all the ways he seems to really be there for the MC and every other DIK as well as how much he has been portrayed as the victim.

Sorry, for the fucking essay and I promise I'm done. I don't even think anyone is actually going to take the time to, not only read through but comprehend all that.

I've been tripping off 2000 mg of edibles (which is a shit ton of THC, for the uninitiated) while sipping on a big ass mug of white hot chocolate (more like cold) for the past 4 hours, constantly going back and forth between AL, BADik, and here trying to see where my brain leads me. Safe to say my mind is on an adventure tonight.

Well, no work for me tomorrow (I should say today given it's almost 3 in the morning lol) so I'll be sleeping in folks.

That's an A+ for effort at the very least, like seriously I can tell a lot of effort went into this and that always impresses me, Hats off !

The theory, that the least suspicious is the actual culprit, as it so often happens in movies, is certainly not an original idea but it's nonetheless a valid one.

The art of misdirection is to either point to a potential culprit all the time to make everyone think "Oh, it's so obvious" or to just be as tight lipped as possible so everyone sleeps on him.

I don't believe there is a traitor within the DIK's as of right now, but if I had to pick one I would probably default to Tommy. He can be bought, he has a serious addiction problem, he has no control over his temper, he is spoiled and he is clearly not in happy place in general. If I were to try to get some eyes and ears inside the DIK's, he would be the first one I go to.

I woudln't be surprised if you are dead on and it turns out to be Jacob, a little sad maybe, because he seems to be such a great buddy and incredibly talented too.

Truth be told, it could be any of the DiKs. 18-20 years old + Lots of beer + Pretty girl flirting with you.. Odds are most of them might spill some secrets. Nick, well, he is a very obvious choice, likely a red herring. But who knows. We'll have to wait and see.
