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

[Hermith]

A flu... it's not like we're giving her heart massage, but making her tea, and taking all the things she could take herself.

But going to Sage's is perfectly legal. If you prefer Sage's company to Jill's, it's perfectly fine to go to Sage's. I wouldn't argue otherwise.

but it's a choice, fair enough, what should make the difference is who we are interested in. from our point of view as players it's less balanced, we know what Jill is up against.

Then clearly it's all instrumental in creating some guilt whatever choice we make, dear DPC....

That's why I said friend. When I first played that chapter I wasn't really interested in Sage, but I still picked the option to take care of her. It's just flu, but I know it feels great to know there's someone out there who would go out of their way to help you even if it's just to treat a meager illness like flu.

You're right, parts like that are in the game to make you think about the consequences, but in this case I still think that's the best option no matter which LI is waiting for you. I mean you can think flu is nothing, but it's still much more than simply picking Li1 or Li2 when both of them want to go on a date with the mc around the same time.

In this case it was Jill, but to be honest if any other LI would give the mc a hard time just because he went to take care of Sage, even if the mc is not pursuing Sage as a LI, then I'd think much less of them.

you're too noble for this world...

if you don't have a preference for either of them, from Mc's point of view it's okay to go to Sage anyway, so let's say in 2 out of 3 cases I'd go to Sage.

but if I were interested in Jill and I gave up a date with her to check on a sick friend, she'd kick my ass out of her house and she' d be right.

but the game is all about the fact that it's forbidden to talk about important things between the different characters.

the mod allows you to do both and also marks it in the things done .. go with jill but it marks you that you returned from the appointment you went to sage .. even if that is not what the creator of the game wants it makes sense .. one what shouldn't necessarily exclude the other ..

 

[Irgendwie Irgendwo]

What should he do? Challenge the MC to a boxing match?

YES PLEASE! I'll make sure to play that sequence multiple times. And for his poor people rant I'll pay extra attention in order not to choose weak hits by mistake.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but in episode 6, if you choose Sage over Jill (because, like, you already made plans with Sage before Jill showed up unexpectedly, Sage was sick and you don't just bail on a sick friend, and fucking Jill didn't even ring before she showed up...), then you don't get to see Jill paddling the old pink canoe later in episode 7.

Also when you meet up with Jill in the corridors at college (after snogging with Cathy no less - oh fuck, sorry Bella), and the mc tells her he wants to see her (after she says it'll probably be a month before they can start catching up again) Jill thinks to herself, "(Then why haven't you shown that more?)".

She's actually pissed that the mc didn't dump a sick friend that he'd already made plans with because she showed up unannounced dressed as little Red Riding Hood.

What a fucking cow!

Interesting that Jill is a Chick girl, some of these decisions are very selfish of her, with would fit more to a Bitchi Dik girl

if Mc is deaf and dumb and cannot explain to her that he has to visit a sick friend....


then he's perfect for Jill...

You're right, it's one of the game's shortcomings that the mc can't even explain things.

Also I just realized you are a fellow man of culture and Jeane admirer.

Hey DarkAssassin what is the touch gesture for fights in your Unofficial Android port

Mc actually tells Jill, but as if it were the worst kind of excuse... if he had told her that his grandmother had died it would have been more believable...

"Too bad I can't...you know I have a sick friend, I promised her.... I really don't want to but you know how it is, I gave my word now... Maybe we'll do it next year?"

About Jill and Tybalt.

Considering Jill's liabilities with the harassment, if we accumulate too many misdeeds against Tybalt, it will backfire on us. I think we risk a big penalty with Jill.

Tybalt, although he is presented as a character who is laughed at for making fun of himself, he is not harmless. His father is Stephen Burke, he could help his son get revenge (especially if he knows that the one who pisses his son has also fucked his wife ...).

The best way to end this story is for Jill to open her eyes. She must put an end to Tybalt's hopes. Jill is naive, she has not understood the kind of interest Tybalt has in her. Once she understands, she will have to tell him clearly that there is no way.

you know what is funny about jill lovers, even if she blow five guys in row people will say, She is naive.


You said : Considering Jill's liabilities with the harassment, if we accumulate too many misdeeds against Tybalt, it will backfire on us. I think we risk a big penalty with Jill.

My answer : Yes It will but how dare mc hurt tybelt. he is just blackmailing her and trying to get into her pants.

(She is so naive that she do know tybelt trying to win her over also know knows what sex is but when bella says he is just trying to get one thing from you. She act like brainless worm : what a bull shit logic but I am sorry she is so naive she didn't even know the meaning of finger herself right. )

She is awesome if you post on jill post that tybelt is stalking her she will mark it as harassment .


As shown jill father is sneaky Baster# so mc with chick affinity will get bullet on his balls but wait jill will stand for mc after tybelt turn is over or she stand for her sister now wear her hat at night so nobody can see or turn off lamp so tybelt don't see (Wow she will understand and stand for mc) .


Didn't jill says something about sex on 3 date ohh sorry she is naive.


I suppose she wants it so perfect that she will need help form tybelt regarding that issue because they both are virgin, rich, entitled and love to judge mc and Jill is so angle that she believes the blackmailer words over mc .

Good luck bro !

so about jill marking for harassment is no joke?

 

[Jules_Papillon]

This! And it's okay for the story. A good story must arouse emotions.

but if I were interested in Jill and I gave up a date with her to check on a sick friend, she'd kick my ass out of her house and she' d be right.

Have you ever asked for a spontaneous date? Yes? And you never got an answer that the timing is bad? Lucky you.

Taking care of a friend would be a big plus with me. Of course I would be disappointed, but not angry. I would be mad if I found out it was a lie.

But I think we can agree to disagree on that point.

What a fucking cow!

I thought the exact thing when I first played episode 6. I personally always stick with the plans that I make first with someone IRL. First come, first served essentially.

In Jill's defense, I don't recall MC actually providing a specific reason why he turns down Jill's, very thoughtful, impromptu date. I could be wrong, but I thought MC was vague and said something like, "I have plans. Sorry". (EDIT I was wrong. See sorco2003's post below ) Jill might think he blew her off for hanging out with the guys and grabbing a beer. MC should have said, "Sorry Jill, I can't. I'm taking care of a sick friend who called before you did. Can we reschedule?" At least now she won't feel second fiddle.

That's a very neat detail though, and I've never seen that. If MC could read minds, then he might have thought she was being snarky.

That neatly brings me to this point. I don't like when DPC shows us what other people are thinking. Why would the player or the MC know that? If Jill hadn't had the internal monologue when MC goes to visit her, ("No, stay!) then the player and MC might think she's being cold. Maybe she's changing her mind about liking the MC? Wouldn't that doubt be far more interesting than magically knowing what someone is thinking? And, no, that isn't the MC knowing later in life as he narrates. He wouldn't ever know what someone thinks at a certain moment.

She is awesome if you post on jill post that tybelt is stalking her she will mark it as harassment

Think MC's posts in Jill related clucks get flagged by Tybalt... Jill would just ask in post to be nice to the people she cares about..

OK, yeah. I thought I could be wrong about that. Thanks for clearing that up.

Seems a little petty for Jill to think that then. I still hate it when DPC tells us what people think.

My memory didn't serve me well at all here. That's a much better explanation than I thought. No excuse for Jill to think we aren't making an effort, like shazba pointed out.

Hey, MC, ask her to reschedule for tomorrow? What a dumbass.

Worst aspec of VNs is that if you don't follow a route as straigt as a laser beam you don't get the best ending, or even a good ending, with a girl. In a long game like this one it can get very frustrating and takes out a lot of agency to the player.

Not saying that this is the case with Being a DIK, since we don't know yet how it will end.

I'm personally a big fan of critical choices very late in the game. Conseguences, ok, but you should be able to save a relationship close to the end. Otherwise it's "follow the walkthrough by the letter" and not much more.
