LOL, I didn't notice before that the image they used on the most overrated was Bella.

Anyway, I don't think it signifies much. I didn't see anything indicating how many votes there were in all Just seemed like a lot of fan boys of a very limited number of games voted

In game it's more like 3 months ... they just went from end-of-summer to November.

In real life this game is there since 2019, so many players have 5 years of relationship with Josy, Maya and the other girls ... and after 5 years probably some of them (players) think about living together with their favourite girl(s), getting married and getting children ...

Regarding the game ...
the game is now split into 5 or more paths ... any major change on one path affecting also the main story line of Being-a-DIK is unlikely to happen since that would require to implement too many instances of the main story line, eg mc living together with Josy and Maya or at the HOT house with Sage or at the DIK mansion or ... that would be like 5 different games and you would need to wait 5 years for next episode instead of 1 year ... keep it simple.

Yes, it's only about 3 months, you're right. With half a year, I only adopted what "TimHawk" wrote because I replied to his post.
"They just moved out of their parent's houses 6 months ago and finally got their first taste of freedom, independence and self determination."

I don't confuse BaDIK time with real time.

I understand what you mean if the MC would only move into an apartment with his chosen LI (LIs). Then DPC would have to create separate images and animation for each branch. That would be nightmare. But it wasn't a theory, it was a thought, a fantasy and therefore anything is possible for me.

Just imagine that the MC lives with the girl he has chosen. It's a nice thought for some, not everyone. If I just imagine my MC going into the kitchen in their own shared apartment and seeing how warm and fear-free Josy and Maya can be with each other. I somehow always think of the words from EP4. "Follow your heart".

From a theoretical point of view, I assume that Josy and Maya will live together in the HOTs house. That's a theory.

This whole voting thing is a war between Eternum fans and Badik fans.
Badik would actually win by a large margin if updates were released with the same frequency as Eternum.

I suppose 'monogamy' is to be understood as an alternative to harem

 

[dalli_x]

The Germans are a multi-cultural nation, with people from all over the place. They've got people who were once Poles, people who were Turkish, people who are French, and so on and so forth. In fact, it seems like the fact that he thinks it's normal to get married young suggests that he might have some Turkish heritage.

This is an assumption, but wrong. I only have German roots. But the multicultural thing fits. I do not impose my opinion on anyone of a different nationality and I accept that other countries have different customs and treat them tolerantly.

Am I doing something wrong with this?

 

[dalli_x]

Okay then let me educate you about how we do things in the US: unless you date exclusively it means fuck all. And by your logic, if how long ago the MC had sex with any particular girl for the first time is the determining factor, then the MC has to move in with every girl on every path by now.

What they agreed to before they became exclusive translates to "Fuck whoever you want, just make sure to fuck us too from time to time."

They are a throuple since the end of Episode 9, not sooner nor later.

And yes "I love you" are just words, but they are usually the prefered way of how we cement the status of a relationship. Eventually it will certainly happen, on all paths, but as per usual you are 17 steps ahead of where the game is at.

Wait at least untill a single person in the game voices the wish of moving in together, before declaring it the go to option for any path, let alone the throuple which "hopefully" just took the biggest step yet towards freedom.

Do you know how easy of a problem it would be to solve without you forcing the MC to leave his brothers and paradise for a 19 year old kid ? Heather moves in with Quinn - done ! Yet you want to move half the campus and turn the title of the game into a joke "Being a...well I kinda lived there for a while, but now I live off campus, I'm still a DIK tho, I just don't see them all that often anymore, but we sure still party together."

Again, it's NOT "Being a throuple" it's "Being a DIK" !

Leaving his maggot brother for a couple of chicks he barely knows...disgusting...

Have your opinion, that's okay. But I won't adopt your intolerant opinion. You can write whatever you want on the subject and you will never be able to convince me of your opinion.

there is Riona in monogamy award....

Yes, I'm the intolerant one, while you can't even play any path but the throuple's because it messes with how you want the game to be.

Tell yourself whatever you want, believe whatever you want, you could never handle facts that mess with the fantasy, that you cling to so tightly. But eventually DPC will take care of it, Episode by Episode.

Don't write ridiculous things, then nobody has to reply and you can blossom in dalli-land, where the flowers are all pink and elephants randomly roam the skies.

 

[strangelandQQ]

there is Riona in monogamy award....

yeah, they should put Arieth there

 

[TimHawk]

what is with CHICK and NORMAL affinity if game is Being a DIK? care to explain?

The DIK in the title has nothing to do with affinity. It's about the fraternity the "DIKs". The MC becomes a member of said fraternity, hence he is "Being a DIK". Hence it's written in all caps.

 

[Joshy92]

Fuck the diks.
I would rather live with Maya & Josy any day.

 

[TimHawk]

game is Being a DIK due to limitations, 3 fraternities are not accesible...

Yea the MC joining the DIKs is mandatory or canon, whichever you prefer...hence it's the title of the game.

 

[exazubi]

game is Being a DIK due to limitations, 3 fraternities are not accesible...

What we've experienced so far about the other fraternities doesn't really make me want to join them, even if I could. They're either loud-mouthed rednecks, idiots, or just plain boring. No, we're in the right place with the diks

 

[Darkwen]

DPC had to write this ambiguously because in EP4 the player has the choice to just be friends with JM or take the throuple. If the MC is only friends with JM, then it remains to be seen who he will be on closer terms with. With Josy or with Maya. On the Throuple path, the MC has to prove that he has stricter terms with JM and that a third girl isn't involved. As a result, it is likely that the conditions only apply after EP4.

I know that I wrote so that sex with Quinn during the cum petition could cause problems. I still think so. Because it's not about the sex in the cum petition, it's about fucking the MC, i.e. Quinn. This is purely down to the person and is therefore personal reasons. The only question is whether Quinn and Maya can get closer. The future will tell us that, but in EP9 Quinn can still be the bad apple for Maya in the HOTs.

But is it really ambiguously? it more confusing then anything because if you go by Maya words at that point is she ready Josy's girlfriend well sense no strings no girlfriend. Yet in ep 9 Maya says wait do I have a girlfriend and a boyfriend oddly enough she the only one to use that word it just them. The way Josy and Maya act it hard to still call them girlfriends but more like two girls with the same boyfriend

 

[Darkwen]

Josy and Maya are already together, there is no string to attach or detach. they are already committed to each other.

Then why did Maya say no strings attach for all of us, they can not be together and still be no strings attach at the same time. Maya is not committed to Josy when she says that her words would make zero sense if she was

 

[felicemastronzo]

Then why did Maya say no strings attach for all of us, they can not be together and still be no strings attach at the same time. Maya is not committed to Josy when she says that. Maya words would make zero sense if she was committed to Josy when she said that

Because you are the one who is understanding it in a way that doesn't make sense.

MC asks if he should stop dating other girls, and Maya responds to this concern by giving the string talk
these strings are supposed to tie MC to the girls, but no, MC does what he believes and the girls will not judge him for it.

how can you say the girls are not committed to each other? what nonsense--they are a couple with many difficulties but they are a couple without any doubt. they fight just like couples do, not friends

 

[TimHawk]

Of course you're the intolerant one. Why don't you tolerate me only wanting the one branch? That is intolerant. I don't care how others play BaDIK. If they do, I don't care.

I shouldn't be able to avoid facts. Who wrote it so that 6 months have passed at BaDIK, who wrote it so that Mel knows about Josy and Maya's relationship. Who assumes that dating in the USA has to be the same as anywhere else in the world? Who assumes that so Josy, Maya and the MC can always use Maya's room without thinking about the fact that Patrick still has the key to Maya's room. Who assumes this is so that Maya can enjoy freedom since moving out of her parents' house. Who assumes that all relationships at the age of 18-19 are doomed to failure. Who assumes that becoming a DIK means being an asshole and not a brother of the DIK brotherhood, which is what the MC achieved in EP5.

The fact is that that was my first sentence at the beginning of the original post in this discussion.
"I have a thought, but it's not a theory."

You just respond with intolerance and distorting facts, trying to offend and failing. Just a tip, not a ban. Just don't answer if you can't respond properly.

No I haven't ! You are either to sensitive or you took it the wrong way. My main point was that they're 19 year old kids who barely know eachother, haven't articulated the wish to live together even once which makes that "thought" highly unlikely and unrealistic. That was it.

And then came your "intolerant" crusade. Why can't you just say "yea it is unrealistic, but I would really like if something like that happens" ?

I don't know what happens and neither do you, but it has to be possible to discuss if a "thought" or theory makes no sense in the reality that's presented in the game as of now.

The game offers a solution, it was a canon part of Episode 10 to get a hold of that contract, that's the solution presented in the game.

You make it sound like I pick on you for the fun of it, and that's so not true. It's just when you articulate an idea or thought that goes A while the games goes Z, someone just has to put that thought into context.

You can hope for whatever you want to happen, I want everyone to get exactly what they want from the game, I don't prefer any path, but it has to be within reason or start with "Wouldn't it be awesome...", otherwise you're discussing a game that none of us had a chance to play.

 

[Ottoeight]

do not understand that I'm implying that I want all that, I'm just stating a fact... can't know how is in other parts unless you've been there...

The facts are telling us that the most despicable students are members of the other frats.

Most nerds are despicable and annoying people. A few jocks and preps are. The only despicable DIK is Tommy.

In fact, the nerds are the worst.

 

[Kpyna]

The MC has known Josy alone for at least 8 months, they had their first sex 6 months ago and at that time the MC also met Maya and also became sexual with her.

If college begun in September, then 2 months that MC knew Josy is July and August. Story in the current moment of time is at Thanksgiving (~ last week of November). So, almost 5 months for Josy and less than 3 months for Maya.
