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

[Lightaces]

how many more episodes?

10-15

 

[mizilic]

Red path is DIK Blue Path is Chick

Thanks , then i must assume that since my DIK points are 11 , I must be on the red path.. My problem is : why do I have to assume when this and other terms (like for instance "dtype") should be clearly explained in a detailed WT like this one..
Would be also helpful to know if this game can be completely played also on a CHICK path and if yes, what would be the differences.

But if she knows the other girls are already hardcore there is no need to test them on that basis but it’s pretty clear maya needs testing to see if she truly has what it takes to be a hot.

she wasn't the one testing the other girls, each duo got a sponsor that made their tasks if i remember correctly, Quinn is trying to create another prostitute, or see if Maya would be willing to be one, once she noticed that it wasn't the case it became just a way for her to bully her, it has nothing to do with the HOT's.

Trying to figure out if that is sarcasm or not?

Noooooope!

I play the version without mini-games. An event with Riona at the beginning of v.0.5. Correctly I understand, that in this variant (without mini-games) I can’t get money anywhere to give them to Riona and get a scene with her?

When you play without minigames you get money from free roams, they usually have some laying around same as the special renders.

I play without minigames and had money for Riona but if you have no money at that part the only way would be reloading older saves and looking around in the previous episodes free roams, I think the DIK party free roam doesn't have any though, must be before that.

You can get 4$ in the next free roam after Riona (2$ in Tybalt's room and 2$ in the room you find the suit) so you will have money for the next two scenes that need it (they can be free depending on affinity).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Quinn trying to bully Maya to leave? Because that's how I'm reading that below.

Wait, I don't remember needing any $ for the Riona scene.

 

[MarinBladewing]

Wait, I don't remember needing any $ for the Riona scene.

When talking to her in episode 5 you can choose to give her money from 1$ to 5$, to get the scene you need to give at least 1$. In my save (Neutral) it was like this, not sure if there's another way.

She is offering to make things worst, she is basically saying "If you want to i can make her leave because she barelly can take what i already threw at her"

 

[Julius Kingsley]

guys anygame with the same quality??

 

[AvatarStormBringer]

If I remember correctly, this conversation was about Josy to make her leave, not Maya. Quinn mentioned Maya here only to show Tommy, that maybe Josy leave by own failure, and Quinn will have no need to kick her out.

She is offering to make things worst, she is basically saying "If you want to i can make her leave because she barelly can take what i already threw at her"

Hm, I was reading that scene as "I am capable of doing this, look, I'm already doing it to Maya and she's almost giving up." I know she's giving an example to Tommy, but isn't she also revealing her intentions towards Maya? Some more she puts Josy in the same group as Maya, I don't know if it functions the same as the maggots where if one falls the other follows.

yeah, but i don't think making Maya quit was her primary objective, after all she had no way of knowing that Maya would have that hard of a time with the tasks, i think she was testing her to see if she would join her menu, she had no reason to want Maya to quit, and she knew that Maya was trying to join because of the tuition(money problems), after seeing that she would have a problem though it became just a way for her to have her fun.

Speaking about the game and his future, we all try to imagine what DPC has in mind. I've read some theories, some are plausible, others are more fanciful, but that's ok, imagination has no limits !The funnier is that we are probably all wrong !!

So, even if the story may have some « plotholes » or inconstencies, I think that DPC is making a really good job, otherwise would it be more than 3400 pages in this forum ?? He has shown us with Acting Lessons that he can have a real talent for dramatic turn of events. Who would have suspected Leah to be such a sicko ?
So who is the Leah in BADIK ?

First of all, who's the target ? After Episode 5, many are those who think that it's the DIK's fraternity. I don't. Everyone is manipulated here.

1/ the anonymous photographs : it's clearly a provocation, but not from the DIKs. It sounds more like a kind of blackmail to maintain war between Jocks and Diks.

2/ Kathy's photograph and the hack of the Diks account : the Diks can't be involved, it's inconceivable, it's too dangerous for the fraternity. I think the Jocks can't be either guilty, it's too obvious. There too, everything is done to maintain the war and increase the tension.

3/ The destruction of the Diks's house : the Jocks are ideal suspects. But remember that they are under surveillance, after the fight with Chad. There is a huge target on their back. I don't think they are so stupid.

There must be another explanation, someone who wants to destroy the Jocks, because I think they are the real target (or almost some of them).

There is no good story without a good « bad » caracter. I bet he (or she) is well-known, as a character who's more or less next to the MC.

On the dark side of the force, Quinn is the perfect suspect. Too much perfect for me, and I don't see any reason for her to destroy any fraternity, it may also destroy a part of her business.
Sage is more interesting. She is the HOTs president, but Quinn is much more present... We know that she is mad about Chad, she is able to spy him (remember the binoculars) or to persuade MC to do so. Sage could be our new Leah...
On the other part, we have Jill and Bella, on the full chick path. There is a lot of mystery around them : their relation, Bella's husband, the closed door, etc...

Just notice that it seems to be a point in common to all the 3 situations (anonymous photographs, Kathy's sexy picture and Diks's house destruction).
Who's on the photographs ?
Who's present in the Diks house when their laptop is stolen to post Cathy's picture ?
Who's the only HOT in the Jocks house while the others are with the Preps ?

Arieth !!!!

Is she as stupid as she seems, or, maybe.... ?

 

[Darkmetal]

I can see Vinny being associated with a few of our "Drama's".
...
#2 The mysterious letters - If the pics were put on the DIK's laptop then see #1

Aireth photos sure, but it is unlikely that the dirt on Chad is on the laptop. All the DIKs would know his secret - in which case hard to see it not spreading as gossip through the entire campus or being used against him long before now.

#1 The posting of the Cathy pic - If the DIK's didn't change the password, Vinny might still have access. Still needs an accomplice to have taken it though.

- The laptop was found in the library, Vinny's old room. His old maggot brother was also skulking in there. Vinny probably still has keys to the Mansion, including the patio door key to his old room and the DIKs don't look the type who are diligent about changing the locks ...

- nor in changing the combination to their safe. DPC wouldn't leave the picture behind which the safe was hidden askew for no purpose. Did Vinny also take something from the safe?

#3 The trashing of the DIK house - What if we are looking/blaming some of this stuff on the AAA's.

If Vinny was the one who did it, then it's not malice. From his perspective, that's not a trashing - it's home improvement

If what you said is correct, then MC's wasting time fixing the place, since Vinny still has the key and can come back to do a Gordon Ramsey make over.

 

[Tumai]

It's interesting to me, compared to murder, selling pot and pimping are way lower crimes in the statutes of virtually every country on earth.

We've seen Luna (DeLuca) murder several people and still love her. Probably done a fair bit ourselves from Skyrim to GTA.

Selling pot is barely a felony, and according to Rap songs Pimping is supposedly "Kool."

Yet Quinn is eVil InCARnAte. Not to me

I bet my money on either Jill or even Bella ... both so unsuspicious that it is conspicuous! Also they surely have the intellect and intelligence to pull such a huge scheme off! We also know or at least are led to believe that they are kind of damaged goods - so to speak ... would not surprise me, but I must confess it would be terrible since they are both my main LI´s!!

When you play without minigames you get money from free roams, they usually have some laying around same as the special renders.

I play without minigames and had money for Riona but if you have no money at that part the only way would be reloading older saves and looking around in the previous episodes free roams, I think the DIK party free roam doesn't have any though, must be before that.

You can get 4$ in the next free roam after Riona (2$ in Tybalt's room and 2$ in the room you find the suit) so you will have money for the next two scenes that need it (they can be free depending on affinity).

Yes, I thought so. In the ass, these mini-games. They only distract from the main events. Can anyone know a cheat code for generating money?

 

[Red469]

Always been the case since AL myself and Red469 had discussed all the situations long story short after Mel's Dad got in the house the MC should have been more alert with regards to the house but that's for another thread. It's just something you have to get used to with DPC some things won't add up maybe he hopes we don't notice. But sometimes common sense goes a miss in his games.

Mr Mor... now you do mean UNcommon sense dont you?

I am sorry I don't mean to irritate or piss people off (Stark9999999). I just have a very logical orientated mind and little things like that drive me CRAZY! I realize that it's a story but make it work, don't go all magical soundless breaking glass, or pictures taken from impossible angles, or just straight up stupid ways/things that happen. That's just bad writing and a lack of creativity. It's a weakness that can be corrected not just "hand wave" away.

Mr Spock... you are not alone...
Sometimes it feels that logic has no place here...

Used to be a really good poster on here way back before 0.3 was a fan of DPC but he was seeing a lot of plotholes always had a keen eye for those so you ain't alone. But needless to say, if you are going to stick through this you are just going to have to grin and bear it hopefully it doesn't become anything too far fetched.

too far fetched... LMAO... Seriously mate, What exactly would you call TOO Far fetched?

I'll probably just end up being driven crazy and quit following the game. I only follow like a handful of games on here. I delete more than I keep just because I can only stand so much stupidity before I just mentally check out.

you picked the wrong vn if you feel that way... Look at how the vn starts...: Are you easily offended?

Yeah it's easier said than done tbh I'm quite invested in the story despite all the plotholes like I said it would have to take something extremely stupid to happen or a repeat of AL to happen for me to reconsider.

It's nice to see that Quinn is every bit as incompetent as always in this episode.

Quinn has so far been able to run her businesses without Sage knowing about them because she has her complete trust. So naturally, Quinn thinks that the best thing to do now is to give Sage reason to doubt her by breaking a deal with the DIKs in order to create an opportunity for herself to make money by selling drugs to the preps.

This plan of Quinn's has the added effect of angering her partner in crime Tommy, who had trusted her to bring the HOTs to his party as was promised. The payoff for Quinn is... well... not much really. Turns out that the preps weren't interested in buying what she was selling. They wanted cocaine, while she's trying to sell cannabis. So this seems like a bit of an oversight on her part, considering the well known stereotype is that rich folk like coke.

Fortunately, she has her other business to fall back on. Her takeout service is now a delivery service, but it doesn't really pan out for her either. Camilla responds to your proposition by saying that Quinn would be angry if she gave something away for free, right before she gives it away for free. A short while later, we see Mona run out of a room shouting that she can't go through with something. What that something is, isn't spelled out, but it ain't hard to figure out. Camilla runs after Mona in a panic, while Burke exits seconds later while wearing those pinstripe pants you might remember spotting through that bathroom glory hole back in chapter one if you looked in there immediately after Quinn and Riona walked out.

So the day ends with Sage mad at Quinn, Tommy mad at Quinn, and everyone involved with Quinn worried that Mona might spill the beans. Unfazed by it all, Quinn takes everything in stride and comes up with a master plan to set everything right. Just kidding, she ends the day by getting high on her own supply.

I had previously complained about how much I hated the fact that the game didn't allow us to retaliate against Quinn in any way shape or form, despite the game giving us two perfect opportunities to effortlessly ruin her plans. But now, I'm starting to think that just sitting back and watching her ruin herself might be more entertaining. I'm not sure how much deeper she can dig this hole before everything collapses in on her, but at this rate she shouldn't last past the end of the season.

As the cops say: Give the unsub enough rope to hang themselves and sit back and watch the show...
Some of it can be Beyond hilarious to watch as it unfolds....

I honestly think people should hold back on reviews I mean things could change further down the line and you've left it a 10 out of 10 but I guess a lot of people are basing it on the looks and replayability rather than the plotholes.

Mr Mor... FYI Reviews ARE Editable... I have had reason to reconsider my review of a few vns once completed, some for a positive others for Not....

Just saying... jus cuz you vote dont mean you canna change it later...

I have thought about it... But it would be a Leah-like scenario (Acting Lessons) and Jill is so much adorable !! She has the perfect psychopath profile, just as Leah ! And more, she have enough money to pay guys (including security guards) to do the dirty job !
And I also agree that it would be a terrible ending (I like Jill very much, even if I prefer Josy) and, after all, a bit disappointing because too similar to Acting Lessons.
