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

1. Partially agree. He is a caricature, but such people exist in real life. Tybalt of this such banter over a typical "prep spoiled kid" from a very rich family.

Paris Hilton springs to mind.

Wait Quinn won a best character poll?
I mean she is good
But was my angel even in the poll?

Either way that poll is obviously rigged or fake news

Maya is best girl ever
But then we all know that don't we

It's obvious why Best Girl didn't win. The pollster purposefully misspelled her name ("Rionna") which made all her fans not recognize her as being on the poll so they just voted for some random skank instead of the true princess who deserves to be cuddled and saved.

I must disagree with you on your example of unexpected transitions in character story arcs though the point itself holds merit. Sage's story is perfectly natural to me, it only feels abrupt if you disregard the whole drama with Chad and the time skips. She doesn't just jump into a relationship with Fuckface, she breaks up with Chad then over a month later she agrees once asked to start dating our boy. They build up a strong bond in the 8 episodes before they finally decide to give things a try and it's made very clear how since we actively participate in those chemistry-building moments. The truly abrupt part is episodes 1 and 2 of their relationship but when I was in college I dated an older girl who I met in a similarly blunt situation so it doesn't throw me off as much as the other MG's. There are definitely disconnected transitions that happen though, like the whole Maya and Josy debacle in episode 5 which has been recounted probably more times than there are pages in this thread so I will digress.

We don't really know when the turn from friend to boyfriend happened in MC's mind. Back in episode 5 he liked fucking Sage and in episode 7 he gives Sage an ultimatum. Actually all his words to Sage are true, but we don't see the inner monologue of why he wants to be with Sage. That's actually true of all the girls. Why Bella, Jill, Quinn, etc. A few lines and the relationship would have been much more believable.

Your third complaint confuses me. Useless characters? You literally said it yourself; they are there for immersive purposes, to make the world seem alive. Every character doesn't require a fully formed reason for existing, just like you probably don't know why your neighbor lives next to you. To follow your suggestions, however, would certainly make the BADik universe blander and less interesting. DPC is not George RR Martin though; he's not giving every character their own POV. If every character directly affects the narrative that would only make your next point even more futile. This is an erotic college dating sim game, not a fantasy book series examining the intricacies of societal hierarchies interacting with the supernatural in a mysterious world-ending scenario. Little nods to other people existing and having little to do with the main plot is a mark of genuine worldbuilding which needs to be celebrated in my opinion, not condemned.

How badly does the plot need Becky? Answer: none. She is introduced into the plot for one reason: to be a female alternative to Tybalt. It would be funny if Tybalt and Becky ended up getting together. The whole free tuition thing could have been taken over by Sally or Karen, for example. Besides I think the blonde vixen girl is a more interesting character than Becky.

I've been in this forum for a while but only started reading the comments in the last few days, and I'm actually shocked about how many people liked Quinn, what's the appeal? Genuine question.

Because they love cakes and sugar as much as Quinn and Mike Tyson do...

So that Derek can tell us her pussy stinks in Ep9 in the shots contest.
Got to give Derek a few decent lines to say in the game. right?

Chances are it's just 1 person with multiple accounts arguing with himself to elevate Quinn.
'cause I don't see it either.

I'm sorry. I sincerely feel sorry for those people who do not understand or do not see the dazzling beauty of Quinn. These people are in the dark. There is no point in explaining the obvious. You will not be able to explain to a blind man all the beauty of sunlight. No matter how hard you try.

Well, as with all the girls in this game, Quinn's hot. But to me, her attitude sucks. Plus she's a fuckin bully to my girl Riona.

It's funny by the way, but the last preview with Sage was a year ago ( 07/23/2022)

Wait a minute, you're saying there are fishy votes for Quinn, and for Sage. What these doubts are based on is not clear. Apparently in the short time interval between the voices. The fact that people from different countries can vote almost synchronously is not taken into account. And now you've already identified the votes for Quinn as fake, but for Sage only - fishy. So, having as you say - fishy votes for Quinn and Sage, nevertheless you give the victory to Sage. It doesn't look too fair. No. It looks like real discrimination. Quinn's rights are being grossly violated.

We only have 269 votes in three days. One person can vote for multiple girls at the same time. So this doesn't mean we have 269 voters. If I look at the stamps, for instance, there are 10 votes for 10 different girls at the same time. This means only one person voted. Considering this number of voters is probably less than 100. You can look at the time stamps in the pdf files and try to figure it out yourself. Poll lasted about three days so 100 votes / (3 day * 24 day/hour) =~ 1.4 votes per hour. Seeing recurring votes (more than 10-20) in every 30sec-1min for Quinn where the average vote rate is 1.4 per hour, don't you think it is fishy? If Quinn's votes concentrated at the beginning of the poll when I first shared, it might have made sense (still it's too much for a small-scale poll like this).

You can check out the pdf file that I share. It has all the time stamps, you can try to figure out fishy votes yourself. This is my interpretation of the poll. As a Riona fan, I wanted Riona to win, actually. The first vote is mine by the way.

Translation: I didn't want Quinn to win so I've come up with a reason that disqualifies her, Sage had the same problem but I like her so I'll let her win.


For the record I didn't vote multiple times, I voted once for Sage, Quinn, Rio, Josy and Cam.

You're trolling me, right? I'm not a Sage fan

It's obvious why Best Girl didn't win. The pollster purposefully misspelled her name ("Rionna") which made all her fans not recognize her as being on the poll so they just voted for some random skank instead of the true princess who deserves to be cuddled and saved.

OMG. I really did misspell her name. I can't live with this shame. I changed it but it's too late
The pdf file is also incorrect. My god, what have I done? How can I call myself a Rio fan at this point How can I repent my sin.........

I'm sorry. I sincerely feel sorry for those people who do not understand or do not see the dazzling beauty of Quinn. These people are in the dark. There is no point in explaining the obvious. You will not be able to explain to a blind man all the beauty of sunlight. No matter how hard you try.

I don't have any problem with Quinn, I actually tried only Quinn route once. She is a tough stone to crack but she opens up to the MC. Overall, she has an interesting storyline. However, Riona has a different place in my heart and I don't like how Quinn treats her.

everyone seems to forget about the camping minigame preview with Sage front and center in it, beating the crap out of the MC and getting him drunk AF.

KАRАMBA, Hey Man, are you not by any chance the same person/user formerly known as Jill Royce?! Everyday, You start to sound more and more like him,

 

[ProxyGist]

I can only forgive DPC if there are two threesomes with Sage in the game. But from the looks of it, DPC apparently hasn't really started working on her branch, given that the Sage pool has only just appeared.

 

[Old Grumpy Wolf]

I'm the opposite I can understand why people find her personality "attractive", but she has a pretty rough lid.

Attractive personality? Her personality is atrocious.

I turn that shit off. Fuck minigames.

I'm not just talking about Quinn's outward beauty. It's obvious. I'm also talking about Quinn's extraordinary, deep, delightful inner world. About her amazing soul. She can't even be compared with other, let's face it, very flat characters, which apart from the external gloss, has nothing else to boast about. Quinn is a character worthy of Shakespeare's works. Complicated, exciting, leaving no one indifferent.
