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

[Darkwen]

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

Maya said no strings attach for all of them not just for MC. They all three are trying to figure out what it is they want not just MC but Josy and Maya too. If a girl says no strings attach for all of us that means there is no committed at all. They really fuck buddies at this point Josy and Maya was super close to breaking up and two days passing is not going to make that go away. If Maya was truly committed to Josy right then she wouldn't had say no strings for all of us. Maya could have dated another girl or guy during that time if she wanted to same for Josy. To call Josy and Maya couple at that point would be a very poor understanding of what is going on

here I explained why the strings are not there for either MC or girls, the strings are supposed to unite them, if bMC doesn't have them the girls can't have them either.

Maya is responding to MC's concern.

Are you aware of Maya or Josy wanting to date other people?

 

[Sun of Rome]

For me, the library scene is pretty symbolic. It's not just funny that their serious talk in ep 4 happens in a messy, dirty room – it's also funny that their next serious talk will happen in the same place, which is the MC's room.Where it all started, there it all ends. That's a bit strange, because DPC could have done more with that scene. But maybe he, who likes dramatic scenes and cinematic flair, saved it for the end of ep 12 when they all come back to the MC's room and decide to go their separate ways. There will be lots of tears and emotion, although of course DPC'll has to really work at it. After ep 7, there weren't any major conflicts in their relationship, except for a few fancy phrases and omissions.

 

[Darkwen]

In EP4 the MC can only befriend Josy and Maya. Then Maya's saying makes sense because Josy and Maya have feelings for the MC and the decision lies with the MC. Individual routes.

On the Throuple Path in EP5, Derek can give the appropriate answer in advance when chatting with the MC. Women say one thing and mean another. Maya doesn't want the MC and/or Josy to cheat on her with someone else. Maya and Josy don't see sex with the MC as cheating, as we find out in EP4.

This is only a throuple thing anything off path doesn't make sense here. No strings no relationship I don't think Maya even fully understands what she said but by saying no strings she isn't Josy girlfriend just someone to have sex with

Maya said no strings for all of them, that means MC, Josy and Maya can date and fuck any one they want during that time until they figure what they want. Most of the time when someone in a no strings relationship it means they just in it for the sex, which Josy did say we should take things emotionally slow. You have zero commitments in a no strings relationship they very very casual MC, Josy and Maya are pretty much starting out the same way Sage and MC did they just not putting a name on it.

Maya and Josy must have agreed to an exclusive relationship, otherwise what either of them did with the MC wouldn't have been cheating or a reason for concern.

However Maya doesn't wanna lock in the MC, so she gives him a free pass and Josy agrees to it begrudgingly, but that doesn't apply to Josy. However Josy AND Maya could hook up with another dude and that would be fair play.

But you are right that the throuple at that point is the same as Sage and the MC being fuck buddies it only gets real in Episode 9.

Agian Maya say said no strings attach for all of us those are her words so it goes to all of them. If Josy wanted to she could had gone had a date with someone mc isn't the only one getting the deal he just the only one that acted on it. But all means all

If supply and demand is how you determine price in germany, renting prices must be through the roof...

Oh yeah they are... if i would move out, i could not afford the same m² again anywhere. Neighbour moved out, the apartment now costs about double for the next one moving in. Its crazy.

But... thats all way to off topic and serious

If a girl says no strings attached, it’s for one of three reasons:

1. She intends to fuck other people.
2. She figures the guy wants to fuck other people, and fears she might lose him if she demands monogamy from him already.
3. She otherwise doesn’t expect this relationship to last, so she’s softening the blow.

In Maya’s case, I’m sure she said “no strings attached” for the second reason. The MC hangs out with her fuckboy brother, and has just joined a fuckboy fraternity, so it stands to reason he’s a fuckboy too. She feels she’s gotta ease him into monogamy—or bigamy, as the case may be.

And to a lesser degree it’s also the third. Maya’s grown used to being shat upon, so she figures it’ll hurt less if she doesn’t keep her expectations high.

Which is why she’s overjoyed when the MC decides, in episode 9, he wants strings. It’s what she wanted too, but didn’t permit herself to hope too much. But she did want strings. She did want the MC. And Josy. No one else.

It was still the same thing for all of them but you are right Maya wanted both, that said it feels like she wants one more then the other since she more comfortable with MC then Josy

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.

yeah, those nerds are sneaky bastards.

 

[KageViper]

Quick question, I moved to a new computer, how do I carry over my scenes and rewards unlocked in ep 9? everything shows as locked in the game.

I'm running 10.1. I've tried copying the persistant file from 9.1 to the saves folder but everything is still locked.

 

[Darkwen]

Derek's saying makes sense. Many women say one thing and mean another. Isabella put it differently in EP2. "Reverse psychology". Even Josy was surprised by Maya's saying.

And Josy should be surprised by what Maya said because even if Maya wants both or thinks she wants both Josy and MC she left her options open for not having them or just having one

I'd argue the jocks are the worst by far. The jocks vandalized our mansion. Twice. Chad cheated on Sage, stole MC's guitar, and attacked MC from behind like a pussy. Dawe threw a soda can at Cathy, attacked MC, sucker-punched Jamie, spread the Cathy flyers around, and pissed in the HOT's pool. The only nerd we've seen do anything really wrong was that one creepy little guy peeping on people fucking.

 

[Kpyna]

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

Let's restore the chronology of events and what they meant.

1. What choice do all three make in the library scene at the end of episode 4? 2 girls are staying as is in a couple, because they already decided it and MC stays only a friend to them, OR our MC joins them and they all together forms a 3-way relationship.

2. That particular conversation after hang out in EP5 end. Girls is concerned how serious MC is about them, because if it won't work out they may all lost each other. Maya grants MC free pass to explore his feelings and speaks about those "no strings attached".

3. We know that the girls in most of such games and this particular one is not dating anyone else and are not able to. So, obviously, under the "to all of us" meant that girls are also shouldn't be attached with strings to MC. Maya meant that it should happen naturally and with time. That was her main idea - to not force somebody (MC mostly) and let it happen naturally. And once again, ALL MGs in this game kinda like or love our MC (we know it). Josy at the beginning said - "let's take it slow", but she can't. Same happenes with Maya, she falls hard on MC, but she just blabber much less than Josy. So, J&M strings to MC are already strongly attached and at their maximum at the end of EP8. That's why the disaster happenes if MC picks someone else. The last word was for MC and his choice, they had already made their choice a long time ago.

4. In EP9 MC tells them that HIS strings are strongly formed and attached to them and asks them is it mutual and are they feel the same way for him (naive guy, lol). J&M are not accepting each other at that moment, because they don't have to accept and commit to each other, they are already a couple. It's MC, who is committing to both of them. And they are quite happy to hear it and it's a great relief, because all this time since EP4 they were kinda hanged.

Quick question, I moved to a new computer, how do I carry over my scenes and rewards unlocked in ep 9? everything shows as locked in the game.

I'm running 10.1. I've tried copying the persistant file from 9.1 to the saves folder but everything is still locked.

Press Win key + R, popup window "run" will appear. Type there %appdata% and press enter
Your profile user data dir will open in explorer. Navigate to: \RenPy\BeingaDIKSeason3-Patreon-1535311494

Copy all your saves AND persistent file from Season 3 game dir into the dir mentioned above.

Files are always synced, but "appdata" storage always have a priority over game dir. It's quite smart, because you can accidently delete your game dir, but saves will be safe still. In your case you wiped the system disk and OS, but saved your saves and game files. Just put save files in right place now.

 

[marshalberlin]

How to get the scene with Quinn in the car in e10? I did everything according to the instructions, but then we just walk. I can’t figure out where I screwed up.

 

[poopybutt987]

is there a 100% save with all the rewards and shit for season 10 yet

 

[dalli_x]

Sorry in advance for taking the phrase out of context but I have to clarify some things...
If certain individuals have a bone to pick with me, they can press the reply button on my comment and explain pertinently if they know what I'm wrong about or misunderstood... or ignore me with the ignore button, report me to admin authority, or private message me, plenty of options to communicate and I can handle the skill of diplomacy too...

That's my opinion too. We should all be able to treat each other sensibly. Reporting someone to the admins straight away is not my thing. I give everyone the chance to communicate better and if that doesn't work, I warn the person about the consequences. If they continue, they will feel the consequences.

I can not buy that Josy and Maya don't need to attach there strings Maya said All of us should be no strings attach all means all as in all 3 of them meaning all of them . Josy and Maya are at ground zero in there relationship so yes there needs to be a commitment from the two of them for this to be a real throuple

 

[Darkwen]

Darkwen, I'm looking at the game from EP1-EP10. In EP1-EP3 Josy cheated on Maya and Maya cheated on Josy with the MC. Both Josy and Maya find out from the MC in EP4 that they cheated on each other. Just because they don't feel cheated, the fact that they cheated on each other remains.

Ergo, what Maya said makes sense because Josy and Maya's self-evident thongs were not there or were damaged by Patrick's blackmail. So what Maya said applies to all 3.

In EP9, it's Maya who asks the MC how many girls the MC has fucked. The more there are, the worse it is and Maya gets her moment of shock in EP10 because Arieth lists her collection of sperm faces. When Arieth comes to the DIKs, she was afraid to hear the MC's name.

These self-evident thongs are not a release for fucking other people. "Reverse psychology". Why? If you love someone, that person doesn't cheat. This is how the natural strings are created. The obvious strings of loyalty.

In EP4, Josy and Maya were together so they wouldn't feel cheated because of the MC. That doesn't mean they won't feel cheated if they fuck another girl or boy. Only the MC is the exception with Josy and Maya. In EP8 the MC can then prove that he isn't jealous when Josy and Maya have sex without him.

Sex with others outside the throuple equates to no strings taken for granted and faithfulness within the throuple are the strings taken for granted. Therefore, follow your heart. In EP5 Josy gets the heart from the MC, in EP7 Maya and the MC get the heart from each other. Josy has already said several times that she doesn't want to lose both of them. In a drama-free playthrough, the obvious strings are attached.

But Elena is the unknown one here because it's possible so she can also send a heart to the MC at the end of EP10. Who knows where this could lead.

They both did the same thing with the same person. Josy and Maya loyalty is more to MC and what they used to be not what they are which is why we see there relationship getting weaker and weaker. MC is the only thing keeping them going if they was truly love with each other they would act like it spend more time together but who do they spend the most time with MC
