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

[Holy Bacchus]

And while we are still on this point, i want to highlight that some actions where mentioned in the 'end of episode summary' and some of them were for side girls. Like, if you stayed with Sage in ep3 you could say that you were interested in Quinn, this got mentioned in Sage's resume in summary.

And while it is linked to Sage, it could be the possibility of a chance to 'romance' Quinn later.

That's a good point, although I wonder if a thing like that would have much of an impact on a Quinn ending given that we can completely skip over it if the MC stays with Derek or Bella. Same with the Quinn/Riona threesome which doesn't have any impact on the Riona scene in ep 5, so it appears that it might not have much of an influence on events either.

Other events with SGs have been avoidable too, but then some events seem to carry more weight than others in terms of their True/False variables counting for later events and I guess we'll only truly know if they matter at the end or with each new episode, like how we found out what was important to get the scenes with Riona and Camila in ep 5.

At the end of the day, whilst it may be too early to know for sure, I think it would be rather short-sighted of anyone to suggest that Quinn or any other SG is definitively not getting an ending with the MC. We know from past experience that not getting any main LIs and making certain choices can lead to an ending with a non-LI, and I see no reason why that couldn't also happen here.

hey man, i return to acess this threads yesterday and a miss the the theories and debates here
,this photo and the other with mona is the only pick's to the next ep ?

The Mona/Quinn photo is the first ep 6 preview, yes. Prevailing theory, which is most obvious, is that this is Quinn trying to gently persuade to Mona to come back into the fold and not leave the HOTs. A bit of debate over whether they're in Mona's dorm room or some sort of common area on campus, but for the most part it's fairly easy to see what's going on here so there wasn't an awful lot of debate.

Where are the locations of the persistent file?

In the game folder and in your AppData folder.

Think that’s backwards. Sage doesn’t know nor would she approve of the pimping. Hence Quinn shushing them all. Sage is implied to be filthy rich so I doubt she’s got tuition money problems.
Sage likely knows about drugs and accepts as heather talks openly about it to Quinn.

You guys need to pay better attention, Tommy literally tells Quinn that Sage wouldn't be okay with them using drugs in their house which is why they do it at the DIK mansion. Sage also doesn't know about 'the restaurant' evident by Quinn sushing the girls as soon as Sage barged in.

Her not accepting drugs use in the mansion doesn’t mean she doesn’t know about Quinn being involved in it and tolerate it.

Strange!There is no such file in this folder.

 

[Mormont]

Strange!There is no suck file in this folder.

Sorry, I should have been clearer game folder and then look for the saves folder.
Then you got to search for the AppData folder RenPy folder and just look for Being A Dik folder should see saves in there.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Strange!There is no suck file in this folder.

Follow these instructions to delete the hidden persistent file:

• Go to the Control Panel and open File Explorer Options
• Click on the View tab and under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files, folders and drives", then click Apply
• Now go to your main user area (C: > Users > "Name")
• Open the folder AppData > Roaming > RenPy and find the Being a DIK folder
• Deleting that will remove the persistent file that contains all the data and you can start the game from scratch but also ensure you delete the persistent file from the main game saves folder too.

MC would be a more reliable partner for Quinn, surely better than Tommy

Having sex for money with professors and students is part of college? If that kind of thing is made public it's for life. Your parents and close relatives and friends will know and not forget for sure, it's not the kind of reputation that's forgotten afterwards. The closest thing is being a pornstar in terms of public scandal, and you know what happens for college girls in those cases right? There are tons of them.

Y'all are going to laugh your ass off but I'm trying to turn over a new leaf

So far in this game, there are no laws, no police, no physics, nothing that makes our world real represented within this game. So how after ridiculing me for trying to use real world rules in game do you try do the exact same thing?

No one is going to tell their parents, close relative, or friends anything. The MC so far has done all kinds of crazy stuff and so far his Dad knows nothing. Based off that I would say that the "whore" girls would be fine. However, Quinn would be screwed. The only thing I foresee might be them having to pay for tuition if Stephen is indeed cooking the college books and if he was to get dragged down

Agreed, but it does indicate Quinn is able to keep Sage in the dark on some matters. Combine that with the shushing, and the way Sage reacts if the MC recognizes Lily as a Pink Rose dancer instead of a new student, and I think there is some reason to think Sage doesn't know about the restaurant.

Without knowing more about the HOT's finances it's hard to say how big an oversight this is for Sage, but it's certainly possible.

I know noone is going to tell anyone's parents, that would be slow and boring, same as putting Quinn to trial but good storytelling keeps the illusion of real consecuences. I don't know who ridiculed you for that, but I don't think that was me (Because I tend to do the same, basically . The less my suspension of disbelief is broken the better a story is imo).

Quinn holding some evidence to buy their silence is enough to stop that line of though of "Why don't they tell on Quinn as a revenge". Noone is going to tell their parents personally, but if they expose the whole thing publicly they would know eventually. It's a narrative way of preventing the law from getting involved, which would put an end to the whole story.

If it wasn't you then I apologize for including you in that statement. I get where you're coming from I just can't see anything in game that Quinn would have that could equal what would happen to Quinn. Even if she had pics or something. Sleeping with someone, doing drugs, whatever is still way lower than Pimping or Drug Dealing. Example IRL Wrongful Possession and Use Max 2 years, Distribution of Controlled Substance Max 15 years. Not saying that would happen in game but there is a HUGE difference between the 2.

Granted maybe the game is way different

 

[xsssssssss]

Why would Quinn need to hold evidence to buy their silence given nobody wants to expose themselves.

The girls wouldn't tell anyone but the men paying for the services? If one of them is unhappy about something: pricing, kinks available, etc. Why wouldn't an immoral person then blackmail them or rat them out? Or what if it is just someone who was given the same not so subtle offer that the MC was?

What if blackmail is exactly what Quinn is paying every month?

It's a long chain of back and forth referring to what could Quinn do vs what Mona could do if she really wanted out. It's been going on for over 10 pages.

It definitely seems like MC is setting up Riona to get murdered later on.

She's the one who's concerned about the drug dealing and prostitution getting out of hand, Quinn lies to Tommy and blames Riona for the money shortfall, Riona is genuinely bonding with MC rather than seducing him to use as Quinn's scapegoat, etc.

I could definitely see the cliffhanger for season 3 being Riona's body being found, triggering the final crisis of season 4.

How is that the MC's fault? He doesn't even know about the Drug Dealing? Riona is concerned because Quinn is doing stupid things and she seems like she is Quinn's right hand person in that aspect. Sounds like Quinn is setting Riona up not the MC.

"Final crisis"? What is this, a DC comics event?

But seriously though, nobody's going to die. I know we're all expecting some kind of AL twist like that, but DPC got a lot of flak for kiling off characters in that game and although they are still a popular dev despite that, it's probably not a good idea to do something like that again, especially in a game like this which is much more light-hearted.

As the saying goes, "once bitten, twice shy".

I'd like to come back to the hack of the DIKs account. The DIKs's laptop is commonly involved, even by the DIKs themselves, but I think it may have another solution.
There is something that puzzles me, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who have seen it. I've started again the game, and taken some screenshots to be sure. Here's the chronology (maybe I'm wrong on the day number at some point, but not much I think).

DAY 1 : after the cum-petition, during the free roam, we can see that :

(just note the ladder)


(that's just before the threesome between Jamie, Leon and Arieth)

DAY 2 :

Into the DIKs mansion, Jabob and Arieth

DAY 5 (or 6) :


Here's the anonymous pictures addressed to Dawe. The former 2 are selfies taken by Jamie, the last could be taken by a phone high-placed (note that the ladder has been moved away compared with the first picture : someone may have fixed a phone under the ceiling to take the picture).

DAY 7 :


Jamie says that he have lost his phone. This is the phone wich has taken the pictures sent to Dawe...
It seems plausible Jamie's phone has been stolen, very likely during the Cum-petition night, or, at least before the evening of the next day. It may be the same phone wich has taken the picture with Jacob and Arieth.
Now, I imagine Jamie, Dik brother, have access to the DIK's official Rooster account with his phone... and then the person who have stolen it too !
So, maybe, the picture with Cathy has not been sent with the laptop (it's a snare !), but with Jamie's stolen phone, from anywhere and not necessary from the DIKs mansion... It may open other paths...
