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

[xsssssssss]

I agree with Holy Bacchus Tommy wouldn't have wanted Rusty gone because Rusty is the funding for the whole thing. I'm sure Heather knows that too. I disagree about the laptop though. Heather might know where it is but why would she know the password? I can't see Tommy telling her, lord knows what's on it, so she could access it and see all the DIK's little secrets. Hell I don't even share my password to my phone with people just because and I don't have anything to hide.

Tommy’s not all there, so yeah not sure he’s a secure password facility in the first place.
That’s assuming there isn’t more going on. If there’s an overarching figure(let’s name him Vinny) , an ambitious tool might be of use.


On the sleeping round subject. I don’t think we are going to lock in LI anytime soon given there are somewhere 10-15 more episodes potentially. Cutting off most people’s access to any side girl really early doesn’t make sense imo.

Well...what do we know right? It can be in the works... the game is not ending anytime soon or so i think.

No, not really as there is no Quinn path, you might as well add paths for all the other girls in that case.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Well...what do we know right? It can be in the works... the game is not ending anytime soon or so i think.

Quinn could be to this game as Ana was to AL.

So, yes, it's still very early days and we do not where she will end up, and it's not impossible that she could have an ending with the MC given the right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it) choices.

You can fuck anyone you want now, but later you are going to shut down every casual fuck you have (Riona, Camilla, Jade, Cathy etc) to have a healthy relationship. Some of this is going to turn for the worst. Not to mention, some LIs may dislike this side of the situation.

Same thing happened in AL. Once the MC commited to seeing where things would go with Megan and Melissa, if he did anything with anyone after that then he got his dumped by whicever one was left alive. Same things will likely happen here once the MC moves from casual to semi-serious with any of the LIs.

If i can state my opinion, for me there's has been some kind political plot going on for some time now inside the HOTs. Sage leadership is weak and more or less figurative, Quinn does whatever she wants most of time. She sells drugs. She sells the girls inside the sorority. And Sage, apparently, know nothing and don't really appear to care about what Quinn does.
That's one hell of a weak leadership. It's acceptable that people would want her out of that position.

I don't think it's weak leadership. I don't think Sage understands what Quinn has turned into. She still trusts Quinn. She probably still thinks Quinn is supporting the HOT's rather than stealing from them to support herself. That's not necessarily weakness its just to much faith in someone that doesn't deserve it. I still can't make the mental leap to how it got this bad without Sage noticing. They have to have a checkbook/financial ledger somewhere. Who's balancing/cooking it?

he'd end up getting dumped by everybody

MC is in between maggot and son of the gang leader .. he has it made!

most of them didn't even make it into the next year

Their antics will get one upped every month

Melanie is also involved

Like with the beneffits or the ordeals?

My memory is more visual

this is a game .. let it go already! Enjoy the play on faith and have no prejudice!

are already on drugs

They are in a frenzy of being adorned and having their wildest fantasies handed to them!

part of the drug scheme

that is just a game .. their loyalties are flimsy!

he might have put her up to it

Like .. hey, babe ,,, I need a solid!

wanting commiment so far are Maya and Josy

NO more than touch and go, dev made sure to have him on short memory span!

You mean

you meanie!

Might have to replay

You should totally do that!

squeeze Jill in there

She is MCs beau ... she is the gal 4 him! Squeeze her cuddly sensitive bubbly body with pleasure!

I always felt that the pictures where JUST for Chad and used Dawe pictures to cover somekind of personal grudge maybe? Like, mostly everyone in the campus has fucked or is fucking Arieth. It really is not that harsh or compromissing for Dawe, it's a 'secret' everyone BUT him already knows.

I personally took it the opposite way.

someone is trying to ruin the DIKs. They are creating problems. They send the Alphas photos of the DIKs fucking their girls so something kicks off. It didn’t go quite as planned because Jill stepped in and the university warned against the Alphas retaliating (something they ended up doing eventually).

So a backup plan was used to pile onto the first of framing them of leaking a nude photo of a teacher.

My take on this isn’t someone has an issue with Cathy, Dawe or Chad. Nobody is blackmailing anyone. They just want the Alphas to think the DIKs are. They want to ruin the DIKs by framing them for shit.

 

[_Azrael_]

well add paths for all the other girls in that cas

The Quinn character is one main character due to her dark business and what it does to the other persons around her. So i don't think that we can put Mona, Heather, Sarah, Melanie or some of the other girls at her character developing level. Some of them are just side kicks....or side quicks if you know what i mean! So, while the game progresses we can have some new paths appearing. Who knows?

 

[Madness-101]

He is talking about a path for Quinn.... Ending will most likely be Quinns own

Yeah, that's the same feeling i got. It's bad, really bad. And some girls probably hate it (see Mona's reaction), and this has been going for two years?
(Maybe more? Crazy theory, but maybe it's not something Quinn invented? Maybe someone before her controled the stuff and she just got on the ride and assumed the leadership position after that someone graduated. It's not a small operation, how did Quinn set it up, right under Sage's nose, and she never got found out?)

That's mostly what makes me think that Sage's leadership is bound to break.

Well...she 's kinda hot right? and naughty and dangerous...that's a interesting sexy combo....

 

[felicemastronzo]

I don't think Heather or any HOT has any ambition towards other frats political structure, maybe they do but i don't think so.

If i can state my opinion, for me there's has been some kind political plot going on for some time now inside the HOTs. Sage leadership is weak and more or less figurative, Quinn does whatever she wants most of time. She sells drugs. She sells the girls inside the sorority. And Sage, apparently, know nothing and don't really appear to care about what Quinn does.

And that's why i said it will bite his ass later and not earlier.

You can fuck anyone you want now, but later you are going to shut down every casual fuck you have (Riona, Camilla, Jade, Cathy etc) to have a healthy relationship. Some of this is going to turn for the worst. Not to mention, some LIs may dislike this side of the situation.

sure

for these reason if MC is in the triangle deal with Maya and Josy quits his affair with Cathe. in this moment only Jill could partially complain about his behavior

 

[Rinbael]

Yeah, that's the same feeling i got. It's bad, really bad. And some girls probably hate it (see Mona's reaction), and this has been going for two years?

That's mostly what makes me think that Sage's leadership is bound to break.

Thats what makes me think Burke is "cooking" the books for the HOTS in exchange for use of Quinn's "restaurant".

 

[Kodek]

I personally took it the opposite way.

someone is trying to ruin the DIKs. They are creating problems.

Then what would this line of thought bring to Chad's photo and what would it be? How would he link it to the DIKs especifically?

Don't get this wrong, your point is actually quite sound, even more than mine. I just want to understand all the facts

 

[xsssssssss]

I don't think it's weak leadership. I don't think Sage understands what Quinn has turned into. She still trusts Quinn.

Sage is my favorite of mains but she is an incredibly inept leader.
Think she needs to learn to have a life outside of orbit of some boyfriend as that seems to me the issue. Chad was her life, her sisters remote second.
Her inability to have any allies or clue what’s happening in her sorority is bad.

Oh, I think we've established that there will be consequences and that you will need to replay just to get the happy ending that you want many many moons ago.

I always felt that the pictures where JUST for Chad and used Dawe pictures to cover somekind of personal grudge maybe? Like, mostly everyone in the campus has fucked or is fucking Arieth. It really is not that harsh or compromissing for Dawe, it's a 'secret' everyone BUT him already knows.

Someone out there is just trying to trigger the jocks to an all out war. The pictures were just dropped at the door without knowing who's going answer the door, it's not really targeted at an individual. Arieth's pictures are just easier to obtain since she fucked almost everyone. Dawe is just a sad person with low IQ.

That’s assuming there isn’t more going on. If there’s an overarching figure(let’s name him Vinny) , an ambitious tool might be of use.

Tommy's sales pitch to Quinn makes it clear he realizes how important Rusty is to the whole operation. He may be jackass with a microscopic fuse, but he's not gunning for Rusty (at least not prior to Episode 6).

On the sleeping round subject. I don’t think we are going to lock in LI anytime soon given there are somewhere 10-15 more episodes potentially. Cutting off most people’s access to any side girl really early doesn’t make sense imo.

As I've said before, it really depends on how this works. By the end of Episode 5, the MC can choose to reject a sexual relationship with 4 of the 5 LIs. Even fooling around with side girls in Episode 5 was gated by having fooled around with them before (with the quasi-exception of Lilly, who hadn't had a proper opportunity before).

Unless the game is planning to reverse course and have the MC screw around with a girl after rejecting her (which might work for Sage, not so much for Bella and definitely not for Maya/Josy), the game is already stuck handling de facto committed relationships. At that point, I think it becomes less work to force the decision and limit the branching potential.

Of course, I think it will still be a while before we're forced to choose purely so the game can allow the MC to be hoist by his own petard if he keeps fooling around with multiple girls, whether or not it technically counts as cheating.

Chads photo could be anything and without knowing what it is I can’t say why it was sent specifically but his reaction to seeing it was anger at the MC.

If your goal was “piss off the alphas and have them start something with the DIKs” any photo that draws out that much anger from Chad is worth sending.

This is all conjecture but whatever that photo is Chad’s first thought was to blame the MC. We can’t say for sure that the response it got was the one the sender intended but if the response Chad gave is what the sender wanted it tracks as being yet another move to make someone angry with the DIKs and/or the MC.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Regarding paths for side girls, it is entirely possible they could have them.

If we think back to AL, there was an ending where the MC would get back together with his ex, Ana. In order to get this ending, he basically had to revenge fuck her and then be nice to her later at Megan's audition. Because he fucked her, he'd get dumped by whatever girl ends up tied up by Leah and he would go back to his ex, and this happens even though Ana is not a main LI.

In this game, we have a lot of side girls but only 5 are specifically highlighted in the official walkthrough; Camila, Cathy, Jade, Quinn, and Riona. All 5 of these SGs have significantly more interaction with the MC than any other girls and have decisions tied to variables that influence scenes later on, i.e. in order to have sex with Riona in ep 5 you have to have bought her services from Quinn, talked to her about the Cluck at the party, and kissed her at the party.

If in the eventuality that the MC ends up with none of the main LIs, then these variables for the SGs may kick in and create endings where the MC is in some kind of relationship with them, just like what happened with Ana in AL. It will also likely be possible to cut off SGs as well and we've already seen that with the fact that Cathy is cut off on the M&J path, as well as with the aformentioned event with Riona who is seemingly cut off for not doing any of those 3 things.

This is how a character like Quinn could have a path as decisions such as taking her number, smoking weed with her, and other future decisions could decide if the MC ends up with her in a scenario where he doesn't end up with any of the main LIs and has possibly also cut off other SGs.

 

[xsssssssss]

Well...she 's kinda hot right? and naughty and dangerous...that's a interesting sexy combo....

All of that plus the challenging, intriguing, damaged vulnerability hidden under layers acerbic armor
I love the scene where you try and kiss her, the first frame is sheer vulnerability, then the angry walls come up, then a hint of maudlin

 

[AvatarStormBringer]

This is all conjecture but whatever that photo is Chad’s first thought was to blame the MC. We can’t say for sure that the response it got was the one the sender intended but if the response Chad gave is what the sender wanted it tracks as being yet another move to make someone angry with the DIKs and/or the MC.

I think he first thought of MC because he knew MC was spying on him in the locker room and maybe thinks that MC is gunning for him.
