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

[felicemastronzo]

I don't understand what role Lucas should have according to you?

the trial will never take place, because it would be narratively very boring, useless for Tybalt if not as a spite. but even if there was a real complaint, the only aspect in which Lucas' testimony could have value is on the issue of the fire, but Tybalt would have to be a real idiot to include it in the charges, it is one thing to tell it to Jill to look like a hero, it is another thing to write it down in a complaint (if he did he would surely be assisted by a lawyer). If the complaint was about damaging the Preps' property and jeopardizing the fundraiser (entering a party uninvited is a minor charge and also difficult to prove), Lucas would have no weight.

the only other aspect in which Lucas could bring his testimony is about the slap to Tybalt, but we are talking about an optional event that doesn't seem to have had big consequences.

there are characters who are given a name and a face just to enrich the "scenography" but they don't play any role

This game gonna have more chapters ?

The husband of Bella is dead? Or live? Or in one business trip?. Wy he doesen't show up?

1- yes, much more episodes.
2- is part of the mistery... no body knows for real.

 

[Lightaces]

Did we get one for Sage? shit I'll have to look for that. Melanie would be nice, I like her tattoos, make her stand out

She was the first one. As it should be.

Saved. Now I gotta go change my underwear. Thank you.

There was no fire, but there were most assuredly damages. Also, the only way to know the MC was not in the mansion when the sprinklers went off would be to have seen him dashing out of the house the instant before they went off. That's not exactly helping the MC's case.

What Lucas could do to help the MC is to make Jill realize the Preps at large aren't howling for the the MC's blood; it's purely Tybalt pushing the matter. Jill should have realized this already, but her brain was in the shop for repairs last episode.



Remember, Derek had to climb up to the third floor to break into the mansion, and we know Ashley was looking after the HOTs' bags on the third floor. I'm guessing Derek saw her and she gave him the cold shoulder, then broke down crying after Derek left.



At best we'll get an update on the current static render count; I will be surprised if DPC will even be ready to give us a total goal, but that is theoretically possible.



First, Tybalt can easily claim he was mistaken about there being a fire; the sprinklers were properly triggered, after all. Second, you're ignoring the possibility that Tybalt has money at his own disposal without needing to go to daddy first. Given how often he throws it around, that actually seems quite possible.

Now Stephen could probably make it hard for Tybalt to use it for an investigation, but that risks Tybalt wondering why. It's just as likely that Stephen would wind up finding the investigation himself just to keep personal control over what was found; whether that would be better for the MC or not is hard to say.

In short, I think your friends are thinking like the MC's attorney should, which would be fine if the MC were in a position to avoid their services. He is not. That means he needs ironclad proof that someone else was responsible (unfortunately impossible in this case) or a complete lack of evidence against him (when there's actually considerable circumstantial evidence that he was involved).

The disparity of resources in this case is so great that even a war of attrition in the MC's favor is likely to end badly.

Wow, next you're going to be explaining to Doctors how they should treat diseases.

These are the realities.

A Civil Lawsuit is a mechanism whereby one individual (or group of individuals) seeks redress of grievances from another. The Court's only mechanism for redressing a grievance is the awarding of assets.

The first step in filing a lawsuit is calculating damages and identifying assets. This is pretty straight forward. The party bringing a suit, the Plaintiff, lays out the damages they have suffered and identifies the Defendants assets that they want the court to award to redress those damages. This is the first hurdle and it's where this case ends. MC has no assets. The Judges clerk would look at the fact that MC has no assets and would then throw the case out. This is basically the Court's saying "this isn't our job" and moving on to the next case.

The next hurdle you have to clear is standing. Standing is basically the court deciding if you are in fact a party to the suit or not. If the Preps have Insurance, then they don't have Standing. The Insurance Company does.

The whole point is that in IRL there is no legal case here. It doesn't matter how rich or prominent the Preps are, they can't bend reality to make a Civil Lawsuit into something that it is not.

I love it when the Tri Beta's throw down.

Can we talk about how Riona is Bae in this scene

 

[DavDR]

ask your friends about slapp suits! not the 1st time rich people fucked over the poor over a decade for petty revenges! the MC is in a really sensitive point in his life 50 dollars a month can be the difference between graduating or not how can he afford 1 weakly meeting with the judge? can you get a cheap lawyer or someone to work pro bono for as long as it lasts?

Jill is not smart enough to be the tybalt harasser Bella (as well as jill) where comforting Cathy no time for such shit!

In my opinion is Sage getting rid of her frustration on how much a disappointment tydbits is...

But Sage could also explain it! gotta check tybalt clucks and identify the ones where he was not harassed and see who never posts when the harasser posts and posts when the harasser does not post!

SLAPP doesn't even come into it, and there are Anti-SLAPP laws in place.

Yuno can have Riona in the lounge. We'll share her here. I get her m,w,f,Sunday.

And now something on topic so I don't get gulagged.
Do you think the MC shit or puked on his sheets when he came back from the pink rose for the first time. And what do you think he tried doing with Maya? She didn't say in her note

 

[Kellermann]

I can't remember if it was you or AchedCroissant that made the comment about the MC carrying that picture of Jill around with him and whenever he gets tempted he just looks at it

I hope it's not Jill's meth head pic. That pic would just make me more inclined to give in to my side girl temptations.

 

[Deleted member 2528490]

I completely forgot that was a thing.

each of the LIs has several close-ups in which she is simply alien, Maya and Jill the unluckiest in this, perhaps Bella (crazy eyes aside) is the most fortunate

Kell we discussed this. Im not looking at Jill. Im looking at the house behind her. Just imagine you and the boys throwing some long passes. I'll make glue out of the horses. We'll have a great field to play some scrimmage.

I completely forgot that was a thing.

I mean, if she can start grinding on the MC so can he right?

Come on DPC, what kind of smile is that for Jill? Why you gotta do her dirty like that?

You know what's weird? When you notice the veins in her eyes, it changes this expression to "holding back uncontrollable rage", and I'm like "is Jill going to be the axe murderer of this game?"
