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

[MrFriendly]

I love how people are like I don't wanna get in the dik fraternity...

And I don't want that jacket.......

Its called being a dik … it focusses around that dik fraternity

The hell week discussion at this point is people copying and pasting messages from other users

Rusty told the MC how the diks were impressed with him kicking chad out … That alone would give him probally instant acces..

We did almost every hell week task possible... exept for that egg the preps thing...

We will get that jacket … we probally will go to were the hots are going to party or we will see some of the hots aka sage and or quinn the day after to discuss what happened..

But either way we will be in the dik frat if u guys like it or not

It's called Being a DIK but that doesn't mean we have to be happy about joining such an organization of idiots. We can enjoy the game beyond the fraternity theme.

Rusty may not be in charge when it comes down to the MC getting in or staying in. Unless they can conclusively prove who posted the shot using the laptop.

I think the fight with Chad is going to stand the MC in good stead as will fucking Quinn on the roof if you did it because Jacob saw you, but I just have this sneaking suspicion that something is going to happen that will delay getting the coveted jacket.

I don't think the lack of egging the preps will be the reason as, like I said, the fight with Chad and fucking Quinn will be considered such high achievements that it will negate not doing it. But I could see something happening that will block the MC from becoming a DIK; maybe the evaluation gets interrupted and put on hold, maybe there's a vote and Tommy is the decider but he votes against the MC, or maybe there's a final challenge where the MC and Derek are pitted against each other and Derek wins.

Also, from a narrative standpoint, I think it would be so much more rewarding if it's only at or near the end of the game when the MC finally gets that jacket. Maybe Quinn's schemes and business dealings start a chain of events that threaten the DIKs, the HOTs, and the college at large, and the MC is the one who saves the day. Getting the DIK jacket for doing that would feel so much better than getting it from doing a few college hazing challenges.

A lot of players seem to forget the whole DIK's code about family and Tommy making it quite clear during the competition that Derek and MC will either both pass or both fail as the DIK's won't accept any more or less.

Did I say u have to be happy no I didnt...

But its gonna happen we all will get into that dik frat if we like it or not

Rusty is a burgemeister I am sure something will happen that will resolve it

But smh to all the people who are playing a game called being a dik and revolves basicly around a dik fraternity … And they all complaining I don't wanna get in that frat I don't want that jacket

Oh well gues there is always that 1 % of complainers

No, I do remember that, I just don't trust that he means a word of it. Rusty means it, Jacob means it, John Boy gives too few fucks to not mean it; Tommy is a rogue element. He may not as, I suspect, be a full-on antagonist but he's not on the MCs side imo.

Too be fair Tommy and the mc seem to bond as of late ...So I see a bright light from that perspective sure hes a slight antagonist... But we made some headway with him and I am sure we will pass that hell week

That's completely irrelevant to the point I made nor does it address it. The DIk's accept members 2 each year, no more no less that's simply how they operate their code more or less. Either Derek & MC both get in or neither of them does, refusing to accept that simple concept and entertaining any other possibility is delusional fan fiction.

I don't even trust that, our MC is a guy who had no mother no friends growing up so his social skills are going to be underdeveloped, especially when it comes to two-faced bastards, something I believe Tommy to be. The kids who were shown to bully him at least had the common decency to be upfront about it, they didn't try to manipulate him.

Is it clear that I don't like him? As a kid, growing up on the spectrum at a time when people didn't know that was a thing, I had to deal with Tommy's; thankfully I had a couple of friends who protected me from them because it took me to adulthood to learn to spot those people.

That's not some long standing tradition, the Diks have been around for, what, 3 years at this point? Is it really so hard to believe that some members actually give zero fucks about the code, and that those members would, if they had seniority, change the rules on a whim just to fuck with someone?

I understand were u are coming from … as far as real life experience and im sorry that u had to go trough that in life...

But I still believe that Tommy will change maybe not fully but slightly like we have seen with Quinn

So im sorry for everyone that don't wanna join the diks

But we will get that glorious jacket and party with the dik brothers and the strippers

I really don't want.

Sleeping in the same building with Tommy may not sound best, but DIKs mean also Rusty and Jacob. Both of them come to me like cool guys.

Just to be clear, I'm not against the MC becoming part of the DIK fraternity, I'm just saying that it doesn't necessarily have to happen this early.

Yes, the game is called "Being a DIK", but it doesn't mean you have to be part of the fraternity for the majority of the game, especially when the MC doesn't seem to want it that much. Having him go on a journey in this story where he really learns the value of being part of the fraternity and actually wants it would make it so much more rewarding.

"Being a DIK" could also be a metaphorical title, where it's not so much about joining a fraternity frivolously, but understanding what it means to be part of a brotherhood and finding your place in it, thus giving that jacket much greater symbolism.

If we get it in ep 5, fine, I've got no problem with that, but not getting in wouldn't be the end of the world especially if it becomes something that's more meaningful as the game progresses.

A lot of players seem to forget the whole DIK's code about family and Tommy making it quite clear during the competition that that Derek and MC will either both pass or both fail as the DIK's won't accept any more or less.

True, but remember how the MC remarked about the DIKs having "an uneven pairing" when talking to Nick at the Pink Rose? Maybe Tommy said that to them as motivation but will pull a 180 at the evaluation and tell them that only one will be accepted and that they will become Nick's maggot brother.

Tommy maybe a huge dickhead but actually seems to care about the DIK's tradition just like Rusty.

If we don't get in this episode 5 he might as well made a dating simulator game and leave out all those frats tbh

But im not gonna discuss it even more this discussion has been talked to death

Lets just agree to disagree and lets see what happened in ep 5 to see whats up

DIKs having "an uneven pairing" is because Nick's magots brother left college and with it the fraternity.
The main weakness of not joining DIK in episode 5 would be that we would still go around on the same topic. Without proper story development.

It was uneven because his maggot brother flunked out of college. They were still accepted into the DIKs together as a pair as tradition dictates. Accepting only one to make him Nick's brother makes no sense as Nick is a 3rd year. Pairing him with a freshman breaks tradition and also doesn't solve the problem as the Freshman will be w/o a brother when Nick graduates.

Agreed. It's a new season, needs a new season arc, not the same arc again.

There's the third possibility that 'Being a Dik' actually means being a dick, something which most people regard as a bad thing, and that the real lesson being taught here is to form your own brother/sisterhood from the people who who genuinely care about, flaws and all. That fact that, for a certain kind of man, being called a chick would also be seen as pejorative; the best path is not one pre-selected by DPC and is instead the one that best aligns with the choices you would make if you were in the MCs place.

 

[michael1984]

DPC clearly is telling his own story and wont change that for anyone

So everyone prepare to get ur dik jacket on

And have a freaky party with strippers and fingers crossed handful of hots

if that party wont happen I am thinking jocks beat down

I agree and here's the thing, I like DPCs writing enough to trust that, even if he(?) does something with a character which I personally dislike, it will make more than enough sense for me to go with it. Hell, I've been with this game since Ep2 despite not a hint of a trans girl (and I don't want one in this story, our MC is too much of an innocent)

Hopefully he can give us choices and tell his story as we write it ourselves, thats why BADIK is light years ahead as most VNs go.

Anyway, 6 months was too long, way too long of a wait, althought I know its worth the wait. But I know its a longer update and there's a shift of .exe that need extra work for season 2, and hopefully with Steam versions being done DPC can take out 1 or 2 months for EP6... because damn, I seriously cant wait any longer.

I mean dpc already gives us two choices in alignment and 3 choices in wich path to take so I say dpc gives u already a lot off choices to choose from..


As for the long wait of the game … the game originally had a wait time around 2 to 3 months …. caus of the 3 pathway situation and he had to do some stuff for steam as well made this update go into 5 months

for dpc to come back down in wait time he would need to either stop with the 3 paths or make a decrease in material we get each update and i dont see either happen

for most that been around since ep 1 the wait is pretty normall ... but have to agree this time it feels a bit too long
