I get that everyone likes the yellow top but... White pants, gotta be. Nothing highlights contours better than white, and that tight ass needs to be highlighted! Then I'd say the red top. #2 it is.

srsly ? look . MC is the patern of the fights happening at B&R . not to mention later
he also has Dawe , 3 more joks . and that pile of fat reject .

im not sure if you're pulling my leg or just have never ended up in trouble .

no authority will look at Chad fight and go "ah but thats ok it was self defence'
they will go " ah so it happened before"

MC has history of getting into fights , trouble . if you on a DIK path Bella will even say as much

and there is no way Bruke will take MCs side over Tybalts .

from moral point of view = yes you're right
in real world = you're screwed .

Jill witnessed the MC's fight with Chad, and the administration totally accepted the mc was the victim there. As much as we loathe Burke, he was fairly professional in that context.

I don't know how whiny the Burkes consider Tybalt to be, but considering the MC and Tybalt were involved in an altercation, I think they'd rule to sweep it under the carpet.

Not only that but they cannot even ignore posters with different opinions about the game in question. The idea that basically any complex enough game is flawed in one way or another and still might be good if not even one of the best is just too much for some people.

I take that as a direct comment towards me ('cause DavDR was talking to me at the time).

Personally, I don't think it's healthy to go around simply ignoring people with different opinions to ourselves, it leads to ignorance. Open minded discussion, with healthy debate leads to people stepping outside their comfort zones and growing.

Sure we get a little worked up here from time-to-time, but it's a discussion forum, it's good to discuss opposing ideas. Even if we don't come to a consensus by the end of an argument, no harm done.

Regarding the flaws, no one is denying that flaws exist, it's just some people are labeling anything they don't agree with as a flaw.

I'm not debating the existence of flaws, just whether the examples that some people are giving are actually flaws or not.

I caught up with the current content for this game yesterday and I'm hooked... though not sure what I'm going to do inbetween now and the next update...

Does anyone have any games similar to Being a Dik that they can suggest as good time fillers until the next update?

ik it wasn't that long since the last update but does anyone have some kind of idea for when the next update will be released?

Lots of good suggestions so far. I personally have been enjoying "Halfway House" just as a suggestion.

I truly like all 4 options here, so I won't care how this one turns out. If I had to pick one, it would be #3. It feels the most correct for Maya, but I think they all fit her style. Heh. I do agree that the white pants will show her great body off the most though. DPC has done well here to create 4 good options.

Renpy starts displaying errors when the game introduces the first english test. Haven't managed to ignore it nor skip it in any way, game remains unplayable thanks to that

 

[SteveyP]

Does anyone know what the other polls looked liked? And what the winners were?

 

[tiqoff]

What does Jill texts MC after Tyb's presentation?
And is it possible to stay with M&J and also maxout Quinn's relations?

 

[`Ray`]

when is the next update.

It will be around October or November at best.

thats true but Jill also seems to be only one that wants relationship

Sage - wants f-buddy
Bella - seems on the fance about it . she may not be against it but there is Jills feelings to consider.
Maya - right now i'd say she's happy with the way things are maybe in the future
(happy as in she's to busy getting her things fixed first - she's happy MC is around)
Josy - has to consider Maya . If she wants Maya as well - she's happy with things the way they are
Quinn - if being her bitch is considered relationship . then yes

You described the characters really well especially Maya's that she's happy that MC is around whereas josy want's more

The easy answer is, they don't care.

Maya fans won't like Quinn, because Quinn's behavior to Maya is inexcusable. Unlike Sage who misunderstands the situation as Maya not knowing Quinn's humor/style, we as the semi-omniscient audience know that Quinn is fucking with Maya without any concern for the damage she does.

Quinn fans simply don't care about Maya, and consider she is responsible for her own choices and behavior, and if she was naive enough to think all she had to do was pass the initiation and she'd get free tuition (which was her understanding), then she deserves all the shit that comes her way. I even have a bridge she might be interested in buying.

Then there are those (like myself) who enjoy all the characters for their merits and don't really concern myself with their short comings unless I find them too annoying. Quinn isn't annoying me, plus she's a very interesting character to pursue. In real life? Fuck no! But this is a no-consequences endeavor (it's just a game), and I want to ride Quinn out to see where it goes.

A simple healthy discussion here...
Quinn Fans fuck Maya fans

And vice versa

Does anyone know what the other polls looked liked? And what the winners were?

Option 4 won and this was the first poll for ep8

Spoiler: i don't really care - whole thing is just a plot device to push the story forward

Okay that's cool. I admit I haven't read much into the thread after the preview so maybe my conclusion was somewhat rash. It just seemed that you've discarded all of DavDR examples or labeled them as 'contrivances' instead. Calling some of them contrivances might be fair but the thing is, DPC using them way, way too often and some of them are downright awful like when DIKs were waiting for their fratehouse to be properly thrashed. So I might as well call them flaws, as the general game's flaws since it's a VN and the narrative is a huge part of it, obviously. Which is perfectly fine by the way considering the low brow nature of the game.

are you implying a black pants can't showcase Maya's ass properly , I beg to differ

you know what's coming next. surely, with black it's depend on the lighting


But here a real life person for example, Emily BUTT Rickard

The Yellow Black combination, feels more different than the others, feels sporty. The others are very regular, very basic

 

[Warscared]

acting lessons , AOA academy , deluca family , leap of faith and alexandra . are games id suggest .

only game missing on your list is love of magic and you would be almost perfect!

add in there summers gone and interwined and you will be a true man of culture!

I think the timing is purely coincidental although... I don't really understand why there is a 19 year gap for the inheritance but maybe I missed that - does anyone know why there was such a long gap?

normally to prevent the parents from stealing the kids money! how many child actors got fucked over and ripped over by their parents? so a smart grandfather/grandmother will set up a trust fund that can only be accessed with certain conditions!

that`s my personal theory regarding the MC he got his 5k to pay up for his 1st semester of college and when the time for the 2nd semester comes around a new 5k check will show up and when he graduates he will get like a 150k check and when he finally reaches 25 or 35 (n aormally that is the regular trust fund set up so kids do not fuck it up all at once and have time to mature) he will get his full inheritance!

there are dispositions in such trust funds also for when they buy a house get married or have kids up to 4 kids!

some trust funds go so far as to wait for the "kid" to reach 50 before giving him the last remnants of the cash in the trust fund!

also depending on the trust fund it can be composed of obligations or stocks or treasury bills but they are always composed of secondary liquid assets so the fund reinforces itself!

there was a trust fund kid that failed to enter college and only got it at 35... his trust fund had google stocks (like 5% of the entire trust fund) the 50.000 his grandparents left him was 3 millions when he finally got his hands on the cash so... luck of the draw!

BaDIK is in a class by itself, but AOA Academy, Leap of Faith and Intertwined have some similarities. I'd also recommend any of the games in my signature, though Pale Carnations may not be for everyone.

from your signature pale carnations is not for me but you should also warn about depraved awakening! its one hell of a game but ffs that game needs a warning regarding the violence! my MC goes to extreme pain luckily for him its others pain and not his own!

Thanks for the suggestions

It seems strange when on his birthday his dad even states that there isn't anything special about turning 19 (in comparison to 18 and 21) :3 Oh well... I'm not going to lose any sleep thinking about why it happens then in comparison to what is going to happen in the next update hehe

the reason why its 19 and not 18 its because DPC can not have minors fucking! since there was clearly fucking before his birthday he turned 19 when in fact we all know he turned 18 and was fucking at 17! but to avoid legal issues yey the MC is a dumbshit idiot who lost 1 year of schooling and entered college 1 year afterwards!

even the Josy Maya sex scene is only hinted at because they where 16 but if asked or pressed they will be 18 during that scene and reached college at 19... it is what it is!

Shit, Dani does look flying, I will check it out, thanks for the recommendation.

I just can't stand the Star trek guise, always more a Battlestar Gallactica kinda guy.

batlestar gallatica now there is a man of taste! ever checked out babylon 5? loved that show!

but arent you guys victim blaming . Jill is being blackmailed here not Tybalt .

as a former bully i can honestly say that some idiots deserve it! i mean have you seen the MC haircut? tough love is still love and without it some people will get no love!

bullying can reach extremes but thats normally done by noobs or females and this current level of political correction does not allow one to become an expert bully to get the best out of people!

a true bully does not wish you to be miserable he wishes you to become the best you can be! he can clearly see you got too much potential and you are wasting it so he acts in your interest to get you out of your shell and yes a bit out of envy fuck i wish i had so much potential !

but the bully is always the bad guy and never has the right to defend his point of view! bully´s are people too and deserve to present their case before his peers! you bunch of discriminators!

herm you have weird kinks ... you feel sexually aroused when being stung by bees? i mean i heard its a sort of treatment but still!

and no its not kink shaming just making an observation!

Lots of good suggestions so far. I personally have been enjoying "Halfway House" just as a suggestion.

my problem with HWH is that your anal slut and Luis love interest is wealthy as fuck! i mean seriously thats so cliché that its sickening! why can she not be a Q with a real problem!

rich girl turns to prostitution to fight against her parents oppression? that is so stupid!

love the game but that plot point is... uninspired!

Summers gone is good if you don't expect anything sexual, but I agree Intertwined is great. I'd also add No More Secrets and Chasing Sunsets to the list.

no more secrets does what it does masterfully indeed!

from the great games chasing sunsets is probably the one i did not try! i mean except for summers gone i do not do any of the summers game!

i work in a sunny place where people go on vacation so why should i play those games? i have been living that life for the past 20 years! i do not need any vicarious living of that sort!

for vicarious living give me a rich dudes life....

So far, the best ones won , all was the 4. so let's hope we keep this tradition. .

although, the Josy one was the hard one, aside from the white, all where great. Ironically that had the second most vote. .

people are so not understanding Josy's style, the only white that suit her, is her tiny white thong, or her white tight leggings




but Black Suit her better in this too

Horrible 3D reimagination of the original, and the new German theme song sung by Helene Fischer is atrocious.

But anyway, if Maya is Maja, does this mean that Quinn is Thekla?

Post your actual error log here, someone should point you in the right direction. Are you playing the full game on a PC, or a compressed version or Android version?

A simple healthy discussion here...
Quinn Fans fuck Maya fans

And vice versa

That is certainly a way to illustrate it!

Burke was fairly professional in that context - but it wasnt MC who came crying to him was it ? it was Jill Royce .

You guys don't think authorities would react like Jill ? its just a coincidence MC ends up in 5 fights
in 2 weeks ?

This is why Tybalt blackmailing Jill . because he can .because he knows authorities will take his side .

im to bored to fight about this . i get it , you know for a fact it was self defence with Chad .
you think bruke cant go back on whole thing once there are cops and lawyers involved ?

all im saying in just world MC may have a chance to win in court , and/or stay at B&R .

The only fight on record is with Chad. The Dawe et al, Troy and Caleb fights were not reported so the MC's record is still that of a victim of bullying. Tybalt would complicate things with his bullshit testimony, but he struck first, and all the DIKs witnessed it.

The big thing here is that Tybalt isn't looking to press charges, he's just convincing Jill that it could be done to manipulate Jill. I don't know if any of the preps would lie under oath for Tybalt (he's the only serious weasel among them), and I don't think he'd have the balls to take a lie to the courts, he'd just whine to mommy and daddy.

I just wonder what will be the ultimate comeuppance for Tybalt by the end of the game. He's surely to be expelled from the campus for something, bringing disrepute to Burke name (after Jade has divorced Burke and taken him for half) and Burke ends up in jail for all his evil doings (like not treating Jade like the queen she is).

are you implying a black pants can't showcase Maya's ass properly , I beg to differ

you know what's coming next. surely, with black it's depend on the lighting

I am going with number two. I respect all perversions... but bees for sure dont put me in the mood for nothing except desert.

 

[Niu6609]

Jill acts out of fear and fear never brings you to the side of justice.

This is so obvious that I have difficulty explaining it.

If Jill thinks MC is guilty she's doing the wrong thing because she's covering for a guilty man, and she's doing it without even hearing his side of the story.

if Jill thinks MC is innocent she's still doing the wrong thing, because if he's innocent she has to defend his innocence, not cover up the accusations, doesn't MC have the means to defend herself? she does.

blackmail must be reported and dealt with, there's really nothing to discuss. there and then we can justify Jill's reaction, but it's been at least a week and we're still there.

Jill's character is just incredibly naive. She doesn't know how to deal with sticky situations, and doesn't seem to really understand the dark side of the world. The only thing she actually understands is bullying, and from that case it seems she's adopted a mentality saying that "I should do whatever I would've wanted people to do for me for others", which just shows her naivete, since she'd be sticking her head into places it doesn't belong more often than not. She doesn't want to report the blackmail, because she's afraid the MC will get into trouble either way, and believes that her way is the only way to protect the MC. She's stuck in her own perception of justice due to fear, and doesn't heed the words of others, I can't imagine how she'd live after graduating college ngl.

#2 just fits her so well holy shit I love it!

how's m&j blocks Quinn's path?
I wanna make a replay for Sage pass, with M, J and Q (and ofc Riona one love)) and full ignore Jill.

And btw, what Jill texts fter Tyb's presentation if there's no dickpick in it?

Main reason is because to be in the M&J trouple, you have to be a CHICK, while Quinn is only available to those on the DIK path. Hence, M&J = no Quinn and vice versa. In the DIK path, at maximum you can only continue with either M or J.

without going too far into legal issues that nobody is interested in.

the fact that mc went uninvited to a party at the college is absolutely minor.

what are Tybalt's witnesses supposed to testify? they saw him do what? there are also HOTs at the party that would testify in his favour

then just because of Chad's precedent: one student beats up another and gets off with a reprimand and the office of president, another enters a party uninvited and what should they do to him?

Then what does it mean that when she talks to Bella it is too late? Why didn't she talk to her before? And can't she stop obeying Tybalt because she has already started?

She's stubborn in her ways, quoting her words, "You know I wasn't raised to treat people this way." She's gullible and doesn't bother asking the preps herself, instead trusting every word Tybalt says. I really fucking hated that when I saw it, because even when she says she likes the MC, she just takes Tybalt's word that one of the other preps would press charges when she hasn't confirmed it for herself. Again, extremely naive and immature. As for the uninvited party problem, that'd be a different case altogether due to the status difference between MC and the preps: they're children of influential and powerful people, meanwhile MC is from an unknown family. Though I do think Jade would take MC's side if MC fucked her hard and gave her the release she needed. She'd probably shut Tyballs down.

As for the last question, again, just her being stubborn and naive as fuck.

I posted the white one . but working with Black, actually harder to make them look good on screen . Hmm, but if it's Shiny tight leather pants maybe ? Hopefully Josy has that one in her closet too..
