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

[Ray_D]

Did we ever get any official information as to what happened to Mona? I really miss her.

well, not at the moment, we don't know anything about Mona, the most logical thing is that she returned to her house.

You mostly answered your own questions.

Although, Bella didn't really lie to MC, she "omited" the truth more like, if you play Nora's path she actually answers the question


So technically it's okay for MC and Bella to date, it's just that according to the rulebook they'd have to make their relationship public and apparently she isn't ready for that yet, but as you said, she realized she needs MC so she doesn't want to end their relationship either and decides to hide it instead.
My best guess is that she's afraid MC would get upset that there's a "legal" way for them to date but Bella chooses the "illegal" way instead. But for MC in EP8, legal or not, for him it was just a matter of hiding the relationship, I'm sure he'd understand Bella and respect her wish if she told him the truth, so I don't really understand why DPC wrote this plotline this way tbh.

Moving on, what did you expect her to say about James? In earlier episodes she clearly still has some hope James might come back one day, she probably still loves him, do you really expect her to give up on her old life that she's been hopelessly hanging on for 3 years, as soon as she meets a man whom she grows feelings for?
Put things into perspective, by the time she and MC have that talk they have met around 3 months ago and started truly dating (not fooling around) about 1 month ago. Her marriage with James was probably a decade old or more by the time he left.
All she knows is that MC gave her hope and a resemblance of happiness for the first time in 3 years, for now that seems enough.

All in all I think we should just be happy that she finally opened up a bit and was honest about James with MC, that by itself is a huge step forward and shows how much she cares about MC already.

As for the dinner, your guess is as good as mine.

And it's not all doom and gloom for her branch, c'mon, it's quite romantic as well, did you play the same episode as me? Their date is super funny, almost every line that woman said can be turned into a meme. And their relationship looks wholesome and natural, something I thought was going to be quite hard to pull off considering the woman we saw in earlier episodes.

Oh, and the details, pay attention to the details, they're adorable

I confess, I hadn't paid attention to the little heart in the corner of the test. (Does it only happen on Bella's route?) About James... I thought he was dead after Ep.9, but Ep.10 gave me more reason to believe that he is in fact alive and will return in the future. If that happens I don't see any scenario where Bella would choose the MC over her husband.

When I said that her route was depressing it's because I had the impression that the MC will only serve as a 'rebound guy' until James returns. There are cute moments between the MC and Bella like you mentioned, but I think the MC's role is just to 'cure' Bella until her true love comes back - James.

Poor MC... Ep.10 completely discouraged me... I lost hope of an ending where MC and Bella end up together happily ever after. I can already see MC snowflake crying about Bella omitting what the handbook actually said.

Guys, I just noticed something on Nicole, it may be something or not.

So I've heard that people who are HIV positive end up with some skin conditions, usually some rashes/stains on the skin. Lately we don't see it that much because of the Cocktail. But before it exists it was hard to miss. And I noticed that nicole has some of those rashes on her inner left tight, her right leg and a few dots on her face. I know some will argue that it is just normal skin stains, but it looks like those of someone with HIV. And she is a stripper who actually does private sessions and have sex with her clients for money, including anal, etc.

I can be totally wrong, but I decided to put it out there.

uff no... first of all, HIV is more or less a thing from the past. And not even DPC would put a HIV scare in this game.

HIV is not completly gone, but outside of the third-world so good treatable that its not even contagious anymore with treatments. And those "skin rashes" are showing up when HIV is breaking out. Believe it... she would have noticed... there is no fun-live anymore at that point.

Those are JUST birthmarks. And Nicole isnt the only one with birthmarks of some sort... most of the girls have perfect skin, but its a design choice from early stages i guess. Nicole came to the game a little later on.

And lets just assume... she has untreated HIV... oh boy... on the others route, how many girls can you infect that way? No.... dont even go down that road. There is no place for that in this game. The "crabs" where enough "scare" for the ordinary porn-gamer.

 

[Hahn1900]

Did we ever get any official information as to what happened to Mona? I really miss her.

well, official enough i guess? I mean, its clear... she went for the free tuition via prostitution. Could not go through with it, cause she had to bang Burke and bailed out. After that... Burke erased her from the tuition list and she dropped out. That all could be seen in the game.

If you are asking what happened to her AFTER she dropped out? Nobody except DPC knows anything about that.

 

[Hahn1900]

What what? When is this? I didn't see this on my playthrough

Jill route episode 9...

 

[ZazzyBoi]

OK I have a question regarding the theory about Jacob being the traitor. If you convince Derek to not fuck Arieth with him, what leverage would he have for trying to pin the blame on MC for sending the pictures to the jocks? Not to mention there's no way MC could have taken the pictures of the others fucking her, he was barely a pledge at that point. I don't think the traitor could be Jacob cuz from a point that'd intersect with any and all choices previously made, but you know who I'm most sus of, besides Nick?

TOMMY

That scumsucker has plenty of reason to hate you in every route, moreso if you're a sisterfucker. Think about it. New blood comes in and starts "taking control". He leads the restoration project, wants them to volunteer at the elderly house, convinces Rusty to stop relying on his father's money and actually become a reliable leader instead of a party fiend, etc. Not to mention, Tommy could potentially show flagrant disregard to the DIK secrecy code, both with Derek's video and your own calling of it over your relationship with Maya and Josy and Tommy ignored it immediately, unlike Nick who seems to have kept his mouth shut over seeing Bella leave in the morning.

Again, I'm not a smart lad or nothing, this is just me spitballing. I know there's probably holes in my theory, but it's no worse than "Jacob is always there and a nice guy and no one is that nice" or "The laptop was in the library, Nick is found in the library so why didn't he find the laptop, also he's Vinny's DIK brother so he could be an insider" etc and so on. Lemme know y'alls thoughts on this.

 

[goontuber]

when do we get to fuck aerith

Cancel your date with Nicole.
But this is haram.

in this episode, from my perspective, there are 3 good scenes. maybe only this episode wasn't good for the others path, but maybe the fuckfest is over

so we have to choose Nicole to get her scene, and we have to cancel with Nicole to get Nora's scene. as I said, the fuckfest is definitely over

Ah Tommy... he is not exactly the sneaky type isnt he? More like... the sledgehammer. He cant control his temper one bit, and you think he would be able to pull all that off? Nah.

Its pretty clear that he wants to be in charge of the DIKs. But lets assume... the traitor did the Cathy Cluck too. This will rule out Tommy. He wasnt able to do it.

Tommy cant shut up, right... DIK Code means shit to him. Jacob called it for Derek fucking the granny and Tommy makes jokes about it anyways. Same goes for the "Dik code" about Josy and Maya if the MC is calling it...

Tommy is an asshole, not really trustworthy, maybe even really addicted to drugs... But NOT a sneaky traitor installing hidden cams and such things. That would be very strange if it turns out to be him.


Iam still on the "Jacob" train here. Maybe he isnt even alone. Could be that he is working together with another person... Or that somebody has him in his hands. Dunno... Sure, it still can be Nick... but its so freaking obvious... on the other side, sometimes the obvious turns out to be the right thing. Like Arieth pregnancy. Most people had the opinion after episode 8 "its kinda to obvious that it will be arieth right?" And yet... she is indeed pregnant. So Nick is still on the table.

Leon and Jamie are kinda out... dont no, just nothing points in their direction. Their roles are different. But *shrug* we will see, maybe Leons reaction towards Beth will surprise everyone and will make him suspicious?

Lets wait and see, but nah... its not Tommy.

 

[ZazzyBoi]

There's also the fact that he's texting someone instead of cleaning in the beginning. He says he "paying" people, but who does he have to pay and for what?

 

[Smackotron]

First of all, welcome back everyone, what a great episode it was!

To all those trying to troubleshoot: trust me, just do a fresh download of the whole 3rd season. The majority of reported issues sound like corrupted data when you patch ep9 to 10 manually.

To all those complaining about mini-games: why? I understand the annoyance when we replay the branches one after another as they get repetitive, but then not entirely as they all have some rng apart from English. I enjoyed every single one of them on my first blind playthrough (Sage path which took about 10 hours by the way) and DPC has done well to introduce more gameplay elements in a game.

With that out of hand, here are my thoughts and observations for all ep11 content:

He checks if people PAYED. for the Halloween party. The Party was not for free, people had to pay for it, thats what he checked. Well at least thats what he said but no reason to think otherwise, cause its his responsibilty.

 

[Isaneclownposey]

What's the song that plays when Maya comes to hang out with you?

 

[Ray_D]

guys, does anyone have the list of new songs that were added with this update. forget about that I already got all the songs.

you got some logic to that - the whole MC flashback of the Pink Rose night could be a prelude to Tommy's betrayal or something like that
"why don't you like me" line felt like there is more to that conversation...
but also there are a lot of contradictions - alluding to my comment about DIK code breaking he is the very obvious suspect, but at the same time why would he spread trouple news around when he clearly cares about Josy by giving Ocar a black eye?

 

[Outlier69]

Edit: I'm not sure which decision in the past leads to this exactly, I just guess that the first impression back then may be the factor if he mistrusts you and checks for the key or if he didn't check so you can turn around and go back for the documents. But on my 7 paths I ended like 4 times with the documents and 3 times without them at the end.

Check the post I quoted below.

Here's a guide how to successfully steal Maya's contract from Patrick:
You can have up to 6 ep10_patrick_penalty points to be able to steal it. If you exceed that number, you WILL fail.
Here's a list of things that yield you those points:

1)Telling Josy about about Chad at the beginning of Episode 8 += 1 point.

2)Failing to hide from Patrick during freeroam += 3 points.

3)Choosing "He lets me be me" option when you're asked what you're thankful for at the table +=1 point. Afterwards, picking "Rub it in" +=1 point.

4)
a)Punching him when he physically abuses Maya += 5 points;
b)Confronting him += 3 points;
c)Chick option doesn't yield any points.

5)This is gonna be a pain in the ass to explain. It depends on your behavior during Patrick's visit to Maya's dorm in Episode 7.
a)If you were rude to him and didn't pick "cheap sheets" option += 3 points;
b)If you were rude to him and picked "cheap sheets" option += 2 points;
c)If you were polite with him and didn't pick "cheap sheets" option +1 = point;
d)If you were polite with him and picked "cheap sheets" option, you don't get any point.

Question to you guys who had a look at the script file:

Guys, how were you able to read the scripts.rpa file? I usually decompile the game using unren and read it like a .txt file, but it fails me this time: only gibberish.

What did you do?

I'm using an online RPA extractor. Not sure if links are allowed here, but I can send you a link in DM if you want.

 

[Hahn1900]

• Jill path - why did MC not mention anything about the pic of his mom in front of Royce house either to Jill or during lunch with her parents??? He had plenty of opportunities there, quite frustrating that it was not addressed so far.

Dont get me started on that topic... Hellooooooo?... the picture of Lynette and Jill in front of the same house are about 10 inches away from each other on the wall at his fucking desk! You can click both pictures and he is talking about them... but doesnt see the house or what? Sure... its just a house like every other too or what?

The whole Jills-House situation is beyond ridiculous.

 

[Isaneclownposey]

I'm split between my current solo Maya route and Zoey. Jill and Sage are neck and neck for me, the throuple route isn't really for me, I've sort of moved on from Josy since the 4th episode, but I really enjoyed this episode, gave me a real flashback to the early episodes, where it was more development with the characters than mindless sex.

 

[jaden_yuki]

I thought Isabella's route would be the romantic type, but it looks like it will be the depressive type. Bella is totally conflicted about her feelings.

• She clearly lied to the MC about her looking at the handbook. The question is: Why? She was the one who didn't want to continue dating the MC depending on the rules in B&R.

• When mentioning James and telling MC about her marriage for the first time, Bella confessed that she doesn't know what MC is to her... All she knows is that MC makes her feel things she's never felt, and then she practically begs the MC to 'stay with her'.

• If she lied about the handbook because she was desperate for fear of losing the MC (the air that prevents her from drowning in a black abyss as she said) we better hope the flashback in Ep.9 isn't a flash forward to the episode from Christmas. If the silhouette belongs to Maya's father and that blood (or wine) belongs to the MC, Bella will have a worse psychotic episode than when James 'left'.

Man... this isn't what I was expecting... I hope I'm wrong... Where's Bella's specialist when we need her? DarkKiller
