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

[Geralt From Rivia]

Unless you know the variable and keep resetting it. I don't have to worry about them myself, as I'm on the alone/others path.

There's no doubt about it, it's a good route.

the only one that has a 'future' is the one with Bianca, even if it is very stupidly builded up.

the others are really insignificant gestures...

That's interesting. For example, rumors spread very quickly in HOT's. What if Sage, Josy or Maya found out that our Fuckface made out with Riona at the party?
Oh, I forgot to mention one more thing. Heather. What if, in a fit of emotion during a quarrel with Tommy, she spills the beans? Josy finds out for sure from Tommy, he's clearly not thrilled with MC/Josy. But Heather is also a HOT sister... Sage again. Many people say that Ep.9 didn't bring anything in the plot progression. In fact, it laid so many mines for a potential storm that it's hard to count everything.

Only 18 votes but Jill is the winner (for now).

Now it's accurate to my rate

If Quinn doesn't win, it means that

Heather, I believe, follows her own storyline. hers is not a temptation for everyone, but the result of a whole series of past actions, and the consequences will first go to Tommy...

Riona is also a special situation, because she is linked to a major choice that for many may already be bound and unattainable.
the temptations linked to these temptation/cheating scores are really insignificant gestures

does it seem believable to you that Sage, but basically anyone, would make a fuss because Mc touched Sara and Melanie's bum while they were taking the photo? (as I said the only exception is Bianca who was put there just to create some artificial drama) in the end this will be another one of those slightly magical junctures that will have secondary consequences (like Jill's jealousy) without it being clear how it happened

Fake news? Maya has the most haters

 

[I'm Canadian bub]

I honestly don't think the tc variable is a cheating counter in the way that it counts as cheating but rather pushing Fuckface to cheat; ergo tc.

I believe every point you get in the variable brings you that much closer to cheating on your committed relationship, which is why it doesn't count on the Others branch. Of course, until the moment comes when you decide to commit to one of the ladies on that branch.

Then the passion of cheating will be like the fire of Prometheus and anyone who knows mythology knows what happened to him. Then again, DPC may choose to drag it out and we won't get the immediate consequence of Prometheus but rather the prolonged and, in my personal opinion, crueler penalty dealt to his brother, Epimetheus, and his brother's more infamous wife, Pandora.

So every tc point gained will merely push the lid open a little further until, well, you open Pandora's box. When that happens, you may feel the glory of forbidden passion but in the end, like Pandora herself, all you'll have left is hope and the utter damnation of your undisciplined curiosity.

And Josy doesn't have enough haters.

tc=tease counts

What the MC actually does is tease the girls. This then leads to the girls teasing the MC back. This in turn leads to jealousy of the LIs.

Umm no. Pay attention to when you get a point with the tc counter.

Edit:
tc = tremcheat

Josy is the best there 0 reason to hate her

I'm not sure how insignificant it is. I'm not sure it's that small. Sage, whose previous relationship was ruined by cheating and using her as a beard, I think she will be very sensitive if MC "plays" with other girls. Remember her emotional state when Sage thought Chad was cheating on her?
And knowing DPC and his previous game, how he loves to have everyone pay the price for bad decisions. And it seems plausible to me that the player will have to answer for the stupid things he done closer to the final.
Moreover, this is the Sage route. Packed with traps like the restaurant and Jade. I don't know how DPC will put it all together, but I can already imagine a bad ending for Sage with all these factors, all the mistakes made. Cheating, a restaurant, Jade... It would go something like this:



UPD. Or maybe this: Don't take it seriously

 

[KАRАMBA]

Oy, holy shit... Fuck... I voted for Quinn. I'm so dumb... Who even came up with this hate vote?! What the fuck?!
Saint Quinn forgive me
I really just didn't see what was written there...

Finally reactions are back
You should have clicked "Maya" in this vote! Saint Quinn will never forgive you! Next month weed, coke and girls double the price!

to say that sage's relationship was ruined by a betrayal is a huge poetic license ... Chad was never interested in her, the relationship itself was always a set-up. the betrayal was a fixation of sage's that was far from the truth

precisely with what you're saying, with everything that's going to happen to Sage: her big problem will be that MC touched two Hots asses at a party?

MC could have had sex with her mother, had an affair with Quinn, been a customer at the restaurant...? But will the straw that will break the camel's back be Melanie's ass grabbing (whose role in Chad's affair we don't yet know)?

oooook....

I don't think DPC will be coming up with anything new and probably tc will work as relationship points. You get a certain number of points (like 10) and you can have sex with Riona, for example on the Sage branch. In general, all these tc is an opportunity to get content from other branches without replaying them. I believe that tc and relationship points will work in conjunction. Some actions in the way of cheating will take away relationship points and when they reach some limit the girl will break up with you. But on the other hand those points may already be spent by episode 10 or 11, but I'm guessing DPC is only planning to set up the denouement in episode 12. So it would be logical to give the player more relationship points for various compliments, signs of attention, etc.

(whose role in Chad's affair we don't yet know)?

I feel like this is well explained through dialogue: Her and Sarah are friends with Chad and were covering for him. They knew he was cheating on Sage with Troy and was in the closet.

oooook....

The relationship was set up by Chad, Sage never knew about it. From her point of view, this is a couple of years (?) of her life that were wasted due to the fact that the "boyfriend" lied to her. Pretty valid wording, as for me.

Not only grabbed asses and boobs, but also kissed one of the sisters of her sorority, and could get a blowjob from another. If this isn't a fuck up and a slow-burn relationship bomb, then I don't know what else could be.
And I think this is just the beginning. DPC added these cheating points for a reason, I think. Somehow this mechanic will work. They will accumulate and change MC's behavior, or affect the relationship in some way. For example, at one point, the option to not succumb to the next temptation will be grayed out? May be.
Ofc, if you already had fun with Jade and made it public, plus used the restaurant, then you are already a corpse by default, I can’t argue with that.

Don't be sad about your mistake...Already 44 votes and Jill is in a towering lead.

the situation is a bit more complicated than that. Melanie certainly knows the truth, but why she knows it is the least interesting part (her childhood friend? her neighbour?). what she doesn't have a motivation for now is why at some point she decides to force him to leave Sage. it seems hard to think she does it out of a sense of justice or affection for Sage.
Sara simply follows her friend, she might have her own motivations, but they are secondary anyway

Chad and Sage's relationship doesn't end because Chad suddenly loves someone else, but because he never loved Sage, he just never cared (we see he didn't care in the beginning, he doesn't care now, for continuity he never cared). even Sage doesn't consider it a betrayal once she finds out the truth. this really has nothing to do with MC possibly being a "sportsman" with the girls at the party

Heather has nothing to do with CTs, it's normal that if MC gets a blowjob from his fraternity brother's girlfriend he's going to have problems, but that beyond everything, it's a serious thing in itself, it is even if it's in Others' path.

forgot the other terrible temptation besides the ass touching: Josy going to ask him if in case Maya didn't exist (does this certify Josy as a spokesman for Maya haters?) Mc thinks things between the two of them could work out.

very serious gesture as well
