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

[Ennoch]

If we're going to talk about the way the characters communicate then shouldn't we be asking why they're talking face to face at all rather then texting or chatting via whatsapp (hopefully I haven't just aged myself with those references )

What makes you think that the players are looking at the faces after they've read the discussion? I can't say i talk face to face as mc Except when talking to other guys. And i don't prefer that too much. Not playing these ones to stare at DoucheBroChads.

It's very bad that this game is displayed in discord, my mom plays games and uses discord, and today she decided to go to discord from her phone and write to me, but she saw the name of a strange game - Being DIK, which caused her a lot of questions, now I in a very shameful situation. (I am 24 years old)

I feel for you dude. Just tell her it was recommended by some dudes on the Internet and it's unbelievably funny. Sure there's some "adult" content, but I just ignore that part, Mom.

I actually had the playlist playing in the car a while back and my young daughter liked the music and looked it up... (yep, that happened...)

She was like, "Dad, that music you were listening to, it's totally from some x-rated game". And I was like, "Wow, what a surprise", and she was like, "Phew, I thought you might be playing it!".

I don't yet have the kinda relationship with my kid that Casmyr has with his dad...

they could also use paper and an inkwell, or messages with a carrier pigeon, the important thing would be that they say to each other what they have to say, at least once every 3 or 4 times.

Or smoke signals but the medium wasn't really the point.

Actually, it occurs to me once again that MC, being someone who was bullied all through middle school (possibly all the way through high school) and didn't have friends (besides Zoey) wouldn't be in the habit of using those apps so, while the other students could be chatting all the time, he's out of the loop.

No, he is not, but he be all hands on the babes, not on the keyboard.
He be on rooster chatting or sending texts,
a healthy life means you live first and talk/write ab out it later.

Live your life, do not procrastinate living for texting shenanigans.

 

[Ennoch]

Haha, Canto Forte , still alive? Wasn't even sure you visit here

 

[Canto Forte]

My devotion to gaming has me dwelling in the constraints of such good company

Haha, Canto Forte , still alive? Wasn't even sure you visit here

Game oN! Life does not wait one bit!

My money is on sweet young Riona. She's such a tragic goth girl... Plus she's starting to get stalked. When she's discussing Quinn being attacked she says:

Riona: "Lately... I've felt like someone is watching me too."​

Yeah, MC's on Rooster and I'm on MySpace but not facebook, Insta, Whatsapp, Snapchat or the plethora of others available

That's exactly what I did, I said that I saw the display of this game in the discord of a friend and it became interesting what kind of game it was. joked about content in game and big dicks.

Thats my guess, too. Only I think she might OD from discovering Quinn's 8ball, and use it.

Although, as someone ignorant in drugs, CAN you OD from just an 8ball? Its just a small amount, right?

Sure, it comes down to tolerance and purity. If you're taking something regularly that's 50% pure and then get something that's 90%, that could be very dangerous and if, on top of that, you're only an occasional user then the danger increases exponentially. Or the coke could be mixed with something that is more toxic.

However, she's been shown to be a weed smoker and we all know paranoia is a side effect.

Graci. So yeah, I guess thats possible then.

Ummm, I don't know what your lawyer friends told you, but joining a sorority for the financial benefits is actually legal in all 50 states.

And again, you are assuming her intent DESPITE HAVING NO ACTUAL PROOF! If Maya let Quinn know she was joining for the money from the get go, then there is literally no problem here. None. Zero. Zilch. It wouldn't be manipulative, it wouldn't be sinful, it wouldn't even be inappropriate!

But even if Maya never brought it up until the pool scene (which I doubt), that STILL doesn't make Maya a manipulator because she was simply taking advantage of an opportunity Quinn chose to provide. If Quinn believed sisterhood, networking or sorority life was such a sacred responsibility for any HOT, she could have made Maya spend time with the other HOTs to see how she fit in instead of making her grind on the MC and scavenge for sex acts. Quinn didn't, because she doesn't give a rat's ass about any of the crap you think should matter. So why should Maya?

Your personal distaste for Maya doesn't somehow make it inappropriate for Maya to do things. If you insist on believing Maya lied like a rug for Quinn to give her shot at the HOTs, knock yourself out. But stop trying to browbeat people into accepting your own personal head canon.

So you would be OK with someone who despises you coming to live in your home, pretending to be your friend, and living there just for the financial benefits?

If I was running a drug dealing, prostitution ring and was intending to use that person as a prostitute, sure, what do I care if they like me or not...

Tell her you play it for the story... (Old playboy excuse modernised)



Bad advice ahead (based on simply what I would do)

Are your family religious, and strict, but not that understanding? Go with - A short while ago I was losing my way, and I experimented with some things. I am finished with that now though. A lie, but one that should suffice.

Are your family religious, but not strict, not religious, or religious, and strict, but understanding - Go with honesty. Yes, I enjoy playing adult games sometimes.

Edit: If it is a serious issue, but you wish to continue playing, make sure to keep all of your adult games somewhere where someone would not find it - an external drive for instance. You will probably have to remove evidence of such things from your phone since, if it is serious, your mother will keep checking up on your activities.

You keep assuming that Quinn IS the HOT's. Also, how do you know that Quinn's attitude to Maya isn't the result of Quinn catching onto Maya's attitude?

Really bad advice, show them the more extreme games you play, they'll forget all about BaD

Quinn's bad behavior doesn't excuse Maya's bad behavior.

And you still don't seem to grasp that the whole thing starts with Maya's decision.

Also your making a legal argument in a moral transgression? Some things are perfectly legal but still morally wrong.

So who's using, lying, and just all round being naughty, in the world of Being a DIK:

• The MC: He's fucking every girl he gets a chance to, but he's open about it (to the extent that the girls he's with know he's seeing other girls, not quite sure is people like Jill get the full picture though...)
• Arieth: She's the female MC, except she's in a relationship with Dawe and is fucking everyone behind his back. She's the biggest cheater in the game but there's nothing but love for her from the fanbase.
• Ashley: Never told Derek about her encounter with the MC, Derek is hurt when he finds out the truth.
• Camila: She's a prostitute, that's probably illegal within the game's setting.
• Cathy: She's starting a relationship with a student for her own gratification. She's using the MC. Even if the MC is a willing participant, Cathy is in a position of authority and would take more responsibility for this indiscretion.
• Chad: He's lying to his bros about his true self, not wanting to expose his sexual identity, and worse, he's been lying to Sage about it too, using her as a shield to deflect any suspicions. He's also using steroids to cheat in the upcoming tournament.
• Dany: She lied to Jamie, telling him she was pregnant to try to control him
• Dawe: As a bare minimum he's using performance enhancing drugs.
• Bella: Just ask her, she's cheating on her husband, she's cheating on Jill (in that she's fooling around with a guy her best friend is interested in), she's having a sexual relationship with a student.
• Derek: Selling answers to school assessments, vandalizing prep property (the whole awesome sprinkler scene), making his friend hold a smelly fish because he doesn't like him touching his sister... Not sure you can say he cheated on Ashley, it's not like they were in a serious relationship...
• Heather: Just drugs, nothing else.
• Jade: She's cheating on her husband, with a student no less.
• Jamie: He's cheating on Dany (fucking Arieth)
• Josy: She cheated on Maya with the MC, although she told the MC she was in a relationship, that doesn't change what she did to Maya.
• Maya: She cheated on Josy and didn't tell the MC she was already in a relationship. I'm not buying into the whole, "She's using the HOTS" though... The HOTs are a cesspool of corruption, so fuck them, if they are prepared to pay her tuition, that's on them. Obviously she didn't know the criteria for the full tuition, that's her problem (what, she couldn't just ask Quinn outright?)
• Mel: She's a prostitute, that's probably illegal within the game's setting.
• Mona: I'm gonna give her a pass, although she entertained the idea of prostitution, I don't think she sealed the deal, at least not with Burke...
• Nick: He's shifty as fuck. I'm pretty sure he's hiding things from the DIKs and he's somewhat involved with the mansion trashing and the Cathy Cluck... I think he also lied about fucking Arieth.
• Stephen Burke: He's cheating on his wife all over the place, with students no less. It looks like he's involved in some illegal prostitute ring at the college, facilitating the bogus scholarships as a minimum, possible the King Pin of the whole sordid situation.
• Quinn: She's doing drugs, coercing girls into prostitution, manipulating people for her own pleasure, selling drugs, and basically all round being a cunt. But we love her for it! Oh yeah, she's even watering down the drugs she's selling Dawe to turn a better profit. What a fucking crook. You know what, I think my MC has already fucked her enough, if she dies in this game, that's on her...
• Riona: Prostitution and doing drugs.
• Sage: Cheated on Chad with the MC.
• Sally: Doing drugs is about all, and not even illegal drugs, just prescription shit, so not really a bad rap sheet, although, she did murder Tybalt in the library that time...
• Sarah: She's a prostitute, same as Mel.
• Tommy: Doing drugs, but he's not a liar or cheater, Heather seems to be aware of all his dealings.
• Tybalt: Lying to Jill about things to manipulate her to be with him (particularly the events of the prep mansion exodus, but lies all the fucking time trying to make himself look good)...

So all in all, the cast is filled with lying, cheating, drug using, prostitutes. So to single Maya out all the time, a girl whose life has been derailed by her own sexuality and her father's reaction to it, is just unfair.

The HOTs are not really her kind of people, but in her current situation she feels she's run out of options, so she's taking the plunge.

Sure Maya's naive, bordering on stupid, but fuck me I wouldn't want to be in her situation, a situation so many people find themselves in (not the whole trying to join a sorority for free tuition situation, but the whole parents not accepting your sexuality type situation), even in this more tolerant world today.

If the HOTs didn't want her, they could have just rejected her, but Quinn, in her infinite cuntness, decided to fuck with her some more. Suck shit Quinn, it backfired, too bad Maya didn't break your fucking rat faced nose (I'd still fuck her, Quinn that is, Maya too actually, you know what, put me down for a threesome).

All in all, Maya's transgressions are not founded from malice, she's just trying to survive.

Once again, arguing that one person's bad behavior is OK just because others have acted badly.
