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

[Casmyr]

I'd say the MC's hissy fit and walking out on Maya and Josy during the revelation made him seem like a snowflake. Took me out of the game as getting pissed off at them and walking out isn't something a lot of us would do... I'd probably almost laugh if I was in the same situation.

Agreed. Which is why I loved Derek calling out the MC on his route about being a snowflake.
I'd be whipping my pants off telling Josy finally we can finish what we started back on her dads bed

I think it was an understandable reaction. I probably would have done similar, maybe wouldn't be as mad as MC was but still I wouldn't know how to process that moment and walked out to think. It's still kind of a betrayal.

It would be understandable if the MC wasn't a hypocrite you can have flings all around campus, sex with Josy then nearly go all the way with Maya...
Then MC finds out two of the girls he'd been interested in were actually a couple and reacts like they betrayed him lol:

 

[DavDR]

As Holy Bacchus said, HOTs (supposedly) get free tuition and the Scavenger Hunt is the test to become a HOT.


No, DavDR, I evaluate the game based on the information it presents, or at least I try to. Your problem is that you demand to be the sole arbiter of the "proper" way things are done, then castigate the game any time its judgement differs from your own.

Whatever the Plantoic 'purpose' of a sorority, Maya is free to join for any reason she wants. If the other HOTs feel her reasons are inappropriate they can certainly take actions to remedy that, but that still wouldn't be a case of manipulation. In the event, none of the HOTs sisters had any problem with Maya joining; even Quinn had to accept her, because Maya did what was asked of her.

Maya only became angry when Quinn backed out of the offer she made to Maya. Yes, that offer was illicit, but that's entirely on Quinn. Yes, the offer was verbal and vague, but again, that's on Quinn! You're not going to prove Maya is some sort of grifter by showing Quinn taking advantage of her!

Well you certainly didn't evaluate the information, clearly given in the game, that the scholarships only go to the girls who work as prostitutes, not to all of the HOT's.

And it is just wilfull blindness to refuse to acknowledge that Maya is using the HOT's.

Trying to decide which LI route to play first when Ep. 7 releases...

 

[Heycock]

Yeah, Maya is not only guilty of being tempted by free money (what an awfull human being), Maya is a mastermind of deception and manipulation. She seems cute and inocent but dont be fool, everywhere she goes everyone fall in their traps. Her deep understand of human psycology and of social behavior makes her especially dangerous. Look in this scene how she manipulates this poor guy to go dancing while she keeps his clothes:

 

[sorco2003]

Derek say MC is a snowflake if we choose to stay with him instead of Sage or Bella. What do you guys think about that - Is MC really a snowflake or not ? To be honest i don't have any ideas what snowflake is all about in the first place until i seek it meaning on google, and i still haven't make my mind yet about the MC is a snowflake or not.

I don´t think Mc is a snowflake (at least not the "academic" definition of that) I think he overreacted the situation, but is the heat of the moment.

 

[SenkuIshigami]

So much respect he had to quote the man twice.

Here's a novel idea: could you point to the dialog in game where that requirement was conveyed to Maya?

What irks me is something I'm remembering from the Jill rain date that she said:

I never punched Tybalt, I walked away. My phone said so too. Yet she says in the scene I punched Tybalt....

I know it's not a big thing, but it's bugging the hell out of me and yes I was using a walkthrough mod. But I know I never touched him, even though personally I wanted to dismember the prick.

Exactly, where does she say that? I play this date and she never mention Mc punch Tybalt.

 

[Deleted member 3313072]

She said something like I Punched and egged Tybalt and others as she's confronting him about it

I didn't punch Tybalt and she didn't say that I did. Messing around with the mod probably caused that.

I'd say there's a problem...


p.s. how stupid is the dialogue before this scene....

I'm afraid that must be it, the mod

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Yeah, like people are "using" banks to get a loan to pay off their debts.

If anyone is "using" the HOTs it's Quinn because funnelling drugs through them and getting girls to whore themselves for her profit.

 

[Darkdevil66]

Thought experiment
Speaking of Steve, are the people who readily condemn Dad Maya willing to console Steve and essentially forgive him? Or do they reject him? Beyond being a douche to MC, Steve is guilty of sexual assault against Josy, but because he cries on the floor about mama and papa, he is now a person to be forgiven? It seems to me that Steve is just as guilty as Dad Maya, if not more. Dad Maya makes his daughter feel worthless, Steve sexually assaults his co-worker and tries to make MC feel worthless. One would think they are as least equally bad if not Steve more so. The CHICK choice is to console Steve even though he has done nothing to atone for his crime against Josy. Wouldn't the CHICK choice for Dad Maya haters be to forgive him as well at some point?

Being a DIK, I have the great pleasure of not having to forgive anyone and thus never having to worry about the hypocrisy.

It would have been so much better with you as the MC

 

[Deleted member 3313072]

See? I didn't see that. I never laid a hand on Tybalt, and even the phone said so. It had to be a WT bug.

Damnit
