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

[ename144]

That's my main issue with a full CHICK path. The MC acts like a passive bully magnet. There's actually no reason not fighting back. I don't even understand why fighting the Alpha is supposed to be a dik move. His father taught him martial arts for that exact reason. Dawe attacked him first and he was surrounded by hostile jerks. The whole "breaking code" is a no-sense. You don't handle bullies by running from them all the time.

A MC on Dik path can be an ass but at least he's confident and tough. Considering he overpowered Dawe, the three jocks and was able to hold his own against the Hulking Caleb, I bet Dawe and most alphas won't have the balls to physically confront him anymore.

Given that the MC didn't really 'win' any of his fights, I doubt the jocks would be afraid to face him in the future. To them it looks like he just got lucky.

As for 'breaking the code' I think the idea is that, since the MC was spying on the jocks when they confronted him, he brought this on himself. Thus he is supposed to just run away if possible. Dawe cut off his retreat then attacked, so the MC probably figured if a fight was inevitable it was okay to win it. When the other jocks showed up, however, the MC had a clear window to run. Hence staying to fight wasn't about defending himself, it was about not wounding his pride.

Unfortunately, like a lot of things with the affinity system, it doesn't make much sense when you stop to think about it. On the one hand, the jocks DO attack him when he runs, which makes fighting them seem justified. On the other hand, when the MC fights the jocks, Dawe sucker punches him and the MC still gets away; that makes it look like he could have run at any time after all. The combination makes a complete muddle out of any clear 'code,' much less what it says about the MC's outlook.

It's probably a side effect of the need for the MC to take a punch no matter what he does; DPC wanted Sage to tend to his wound in the next scene, so he just made it happen. But he didn't consider just how convoluted the interaction between the affinity system, the narrative, and the fighting mini-game was.

Wow this thread really is a roller coaster

Yeah, right now we're law experts mixed with a bit of social worker training but we'll return to the admiration of 3D rendered female body parts the moment DPC drops the remaining Sage or Maya beach teasers.

Sage AND Maya, thank you very much. They are the last 2 remaining LIs and will both duly get their day in the sun (pun very much intended ).

The funny thing is that a Burgmeister or Royce didn't join the party.

A Burgmeister or Royce might have been the one speaking .. naturally he would not want to talk to himself at the party but to Burke or Johnson..

Oh I just meant whichever comes first.

And yes, they're both very much deserving of some "sunscreen".

Nah that's Sage father

And I can just see DPC dropping renders for Arieth, Ashley, Elena, the Pink Rose girls (Rose, Brandi, Sandy), Wendy & Minnie, Dany, KRJ, and the receptionist at the gym before we get Sage and Maya.

 

[B-52reloaded]

And what is her surname?

You left out the granny ex-teacher Derek pipes down to finish the board if MC doesn't partake in Jade's Oedipus roleplay.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Not Burgmeister or Royce, or even Burke.

I'd honestly love if he did a beach render for her just to see how people react to it.

 

[Dashxp4k]

We don't know. DPC knows

 

[B-52reloaded]

Not Burgmeister or Royce, or even Burke.

How can you be so sure? Was her name ever mentioned?

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Because Rusty was clearly trying to hit on her in the ep 5 flashback which means they're not related, the guy at the party looking for his daughter was most likely her Dad which means it's not Stephen and her Mom isn't Jade, and if that was indeed her Dad it doesn't seem like he's a a Royce due to the lack of respect he was being given and how desperately he seemed to be trying to schmooze with the esteemed guests.

And I think we're leaving out Maya's family. I have a hunch they are also going to be from an important/rich family. Derek being so well adapted to the prep party makes me think he's used to be around that kind of people, even if he doesn't want to. But at least knows how to fit in if he wants.

Doubt Maya comes from a rich family. Probably upper middle class at best.
As for Derek, I think it's just as he said, he's a chameleon and all round charismatic guy on top of that.

Hahaha
And I think that is very revealing the fact that Heather have her own render. I think we'll have some nice action with her sooner than later.

Sally also got one. Does that mean we'll get action with her?

YES!!!11one

I mean it's possible but not likely. Wouldn't want to be on the nerds shit list

 

[Naxer]

Who knows. Maybe. But you can't deny that between MC and Heather is some relevant sexual tension in previous episodes.
