Since there's a lot of Derek talk, has anyone noticed that maybe Derek isn't all that dumb as he appears to be?

There's an old post I read on r/beingaDIK that explains some reasons as to why.

But honestly, I'm pretty sure Derek Boy is just the type of guy to be like "Why bother listening to a 2 hour class if I can just watch and speed run the lesson online for 5 mins"

Yes, he always shows the gun. But he only shoves it in the MC's face if he punches him. I found something interesting... In Ep.8, the guy who gave the MC kickboxing tips says something similar to Vinny when the MC says he has no intention of fighting Caleb.

MC: "I'm not looking to fight him."
New Guy: "Sometimes that option's a luxury."

In Ep.9, when the MC tells Vinny not to start a fight because he has no intentions of fighting Vinny:

MC "Trust me, you don't want to fight me, so don't start one."
Vinny "Don't start a fight? Haha! Life doesn't work that way."
Great find and conclusion and yea that's exactly what I believe will eventually unfold.

The standing Vinnie theory at least among some is :

Vinnie uses the DIK laptop to post the Cathy pic, in an attempt to force Rusty to resign for 2 reasons. One because he knows that Rusty is the entire DIK treasury and two because it promotes Tommy to president.

Vinnie then has the DIK mansion trashed, leaving the DIK's without money and a trashed home.

Vinne takes a bundle of cash, meets with Tommy and says "Hey I heard you guys ran into a problem, how about I help you guys out and in return you let me use the mansion as an HQ to deal out of" , since the Mansion still has Burgmeister protection.

Vinnie has Quinn jumped and her money stolen, so that she has to raise her prices and ruin her customer base.

So in short, Vinnie wants B&R for himself.

But again, it's just a theory.

Derek is an idiot on the counts that he dips his wick in crazy. Drinks far too much. Is lazy. A hedonist and acts with out caution. But he doesn't lack intelligence. Consider the family he comes from - They are pretty smart folk. So, everything Maya was taught at an early age... Derek was too. The problem he has is that he always takes the path of least resistance.

He could easily do all the work legit. He is a fool, but he is not stupid.

You can be smart and dumb at the same time. Derek is apparently smart when it comes to his grades, but he's just plain stupid as a person.

I always thought Quinn was responsible for the Cathy incident. She knew that Tommy wanted the DIK presidency and this was a way to remove Rusty from the presidency. There is a scene in the game where Tommy and Quinn talk about this, about Tommy wanting the presidency of the DIKS and Quinn wanting the HOTs. :unsure:

Go back to when the DIK's return home from the prep party and talk inside their trashed mansion and then check Tommy's reaction to having no more money and having to work. Do you really think he would voluntary remove the only link the DIK's have to free money ? Because that would've been the DIK reality without Rusty.

What would Vinny gain by taking Rusty out of office? The DIKs would only have an even more incompetent president - Tommy. :unsure:

Rusty IS or was the DIK's bank account, their windows have been smashed before and Rusty's dad simply bought new ones. And Rusty doesn't use drugs and can't be bought apart from the fact that Rusty would never let him sell drugs out of the Mansion.

Vinnie had to get the DIK's a) dependent on (his) money and b) with a president that he can buy with drugs.

Removing Rusty does both.

Aaaaah! Now I get it, it actually makes sense. It would be a free pass for Vinny to sell drugs among the DIKs. My fear is the Cathy incident is just a red herring. For example, just being a prank made by nerds during their Hell Week and having nothing to do with Vinny, Nick, Burke, or Quinn.

Aye and not just among the DIK's he could use the DIK Mansion, which still is owned by a Burgmeister, to supply the entire college and I don't have to tell you how much money that is.

That's why he had Quinn jumped, so that he eventually has B&R all to himself.

All this drug talk has me believing the MC will be dragged into Quinn and Vinny's feud whether he likes it or not. I don't know how I feel about it, honestly. It wasn't what I had in mind when I decided to play a game about college boys. I hope I don't regret giving this game a chance.

Nah mate don't worry about it. There have to be some sucky moments here and there but also parties, college humor, hot chicks and lots of fucking, it's gonna be a blast :D

I hope you are right. I have some demons when it comes to drugs and addiction. It's not something I like to witness or remember, so the thought of this game going down that path makes me somewhat... uneasy.

I think DPC is sensitive to it too. He didn't let the MC touch anything except weed and I don't see that changing...ever. And think about it, wouldn't it be cool if there was a chance that you could get Quinn and Rio out of that life ?

That's one of my hopes, but Quinn doesn't accept CHICK MC's help. Again, bad memories... Apparently, I can't save who I want even in a simple game. That scene with Tommy and Quinn sharing a syringe really got to me. I thought the idea was dropped since the syringe wasn't mentioned anymore, but in Ep.9 it reappeared. I hope Quinn changes her mind about the CHICK MC;
