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

[Pendrell]

Here you go. Most music from season 2 are premium music and they aren't meant to be released to the public. Lucky, for us we have friendly people on YouTube.

Thought that piano piece was beautiful. Reminds me of Einaudi.

I was trying to follow the handbag theory but I got lost in the Josy twin theory, and finally Becky distracted me, damn she bangin.

Also I don't think it makes sense for Burke to be in a student stall to begin with getting a blowjob, even less sense having sex with someone in the same stall.

Seems overly risky for someone of his stature.

It only makes sense if Burke is BI, since it is a man's hands.

The best solution is to say, it is just a story who takes some freedoms. The second one is to say its a stupid story who fail in portray reasonable people, therefore there are all stupid. The worst is to say Maya is stupid in a story with normal or clever people. The first has sense and let you to happy enjoy the story. The second one has some sense but the story unnecesary loose some charm. The third one is to create your own story and miss what is happening(edited).

for me the story told is always right, what is shown to me is the reality of the character, there is nothing else

Derek's an idiot not just because it's the comic moment.
Maya needs someone to assist her in everything not just because she's the damsel in distress in the story
Jill trusts Tybalt
Sage trusts Quinn
Bella is the worst best friend ever

otherwise it all becomes a means to an end and then we're talking about vaginas looking for reasons to stick it in MC's dick.

MC has other advantages that Maya doesn't. First he knows the restaurant. You connect the odds, HOT's pay her students the tuition, where they get the money? They prostitute themselfs. He also talks all the time with every HOT starting with her president. There is at least some level of trust.

and in fact Mc warns her, tells her that Quinn uses the girls, does not mention the restaurant explicitly but warns her more than clearly. but it's useless, because Maya doesn't have a plan B and then pushed by Josy's arrival she comes back to fully believe in free tuition and therefore in who offers it to her.

If you see Josy at the end of chapter 4 she seems quite excited that the MC is going to help them with the scavenger hunt. Maya problem is also her problem couse it's her relationship wich is at risk.
Well they would stop her for the same reason she should stop, couse it was a doomed plan. None of them take any precaution.

At the end of the day, it was just ment to find a narrative structure. It allows DPC to buid Maya-Quinn conflict, to still make Maya do the scavenger hunt and eventually join the HOT's, wich is comming next episodes.

Neither Josy nor MC have a better plan. Completing the scavenger hunt is not a problem, so why should they be the ones to stop it?

Josy wants to become a HOT, why should she give it up? By abandoning the scavenger hunt she could never be part of it.

Should Mc refuse to help her? So he should be blamed for not getting free tuition?

Maya isn't stupid but she isn't disabled either, and they aren't her guardians.

if i quit my job tomorrow and decide to become an AVN developer without having the skills would it be my fault or the fault of whoever doesn't stop me?

 

[felicemastronzo]

From what I understand, prostitution brings pocket money, and enough to cover the money that each member (of the restaurant) owes to the HOTs.

Quinn and Riona's part is invested in drugs in order to generate even more money. Quinn tells Riona that college won't allow them to live (no graduation at the end of it), so the drug money will be used to support them.

Quinn wants to expand the activities (more girls in the restaurant, more drug deals) to have more money for after college.

Then we have Mona's scholarship (and potentially one for Maya). It's obtained via Burke (we don't know how exactly). Quinn isn't doing it out of the goodness of her soul, either there is some hidden motive, or more simply it's a way for her to have full control of the girl to make more money out of her.

what Quinn really wants to do is very unclear.

Does she want Maya in the restaurant? Is that why she decides to make her hate her? How is she going to convince her to do something so extreme?

in quinn's plans maya is supposed to fail the scavenger hunt, how convenient would it be to have a restaurant girl out of HOTs? Maya would be the only one in that situation

So maybe the scavenger hunt is a test to see if she's really motivated? But then that doesn't explain Quinn's subsequent behaviour which remains highly aggressive towards her.

It happens in the CHICK path ONLY. He doesn't explicitly warn her in the DIK path.

I guess some people - mostly Quinn's fans who dislike Maya - just don't want to understand why Josy and Maya reject MC in the DIK path.

I wonder why a lot of players don't realize how the story and the MC is different when you choose to go massive DIK as compared to when you choose to go massive CHICK: the MC is a totally different dude. Totally. Maya nor Josy can't love nor trust a MC who is a massive DIK.

It's crystal clear to me: she did whatever she could to make Josy and Maya drop.

I don't remember the details, but Quinn changed her behavior toward Josy when she learned that Josy is Tommy's stepsister. Then Tommy said Quinn he doesn't want to see Josy in the HOTs... I'm not sure how much he knows about Josy and Maya. Quinn can't "torture" Josy, but she can do the next best thing by torturing Maya.

Also Maya is pretty judgmental when it comes to HOTs even if she wants to join them for the "free tuition", so it kinda makes sense if Quinn caught on that behavior, even if Maya didn't try to express it. I was never good at hiding what I really think and there were times when I got into trouble because of it and Quinn looks like someone who would definitely teach Maya a lesson just for trying.

are you sure about that?

you choose to warn or not Maya, i assumed a player interested in May should do it

 

[Machete]

I think Quinn just need to exploit more girls because she needs more money, likely to substain her mother and her mother's addictions. So, since your average next door girl is usually not so eager to get into prostituition, Quinn has to run a big deal of mind games to persuade some girl to join the 'team'. I wonder what's Riona's secret, instead. She's somehow as in need of money as Quinn, it seems, but i'm not sure we have yet figured why.

Quinn changed her behaviour after 30 seconds, because Josy told her she was Tommy's sis after 30 seconds they met. She didn't want her in the HOTs because she can't use her with her "restaurant", of course.

Same with Maya. Quinn isn't stupid at all: she immediately understood that the restaurant's "job" didn't fit Maya at all.

 

[Machete]

I agree. Even if not this interest. In a certain measure she's a friend to MC, even if he goes full dick, and warning here should be, you know, 101 of being a human being. But the game's plot has to fork, i guess.

The sorority and the college are really expensive. The whole story is really focusing on MONEY and huge class gaps.

Just think about MC's family story.

Well, if you go full dick you don't.

I know. Good thing that here college is (almost) free for all. But yet Riona seems to have a year by year need to reach certain quotas that goes beyond, i think, dealing with college loans.

josy has another boyfriend maybe

 

[dalli_x]

What if Maya is still lying and the free tuition is just an excuse to keep her cover from being blown.Her cover as an undercover police officer. Check out this screenshot. DPC has hidden something from all of us, according to the saying that many people go through the world blind with their eyes open. Look at the label of the package. "Evioence" what kind of evidence? This package is about the size of the MC junk box. Who collected the evidence? The mannequin is the same one that's standing at Bella's later.



But what's scary is that the contents of the closet changed in EP7. There are books like the book "Vendetta" that Maya and Jill also have,
"Wolfsbane." Duct tape, acoustic screwdrivers. Two boxes, one clean and one dirty. Maybe that's a tent on top of the cabinet? But there is something else behind it, the part has round corners, but behind it is something straight. Maybe it is a passage?



The next screenshot shows Heather's and Josy's desk. Take a close look at it. For example, there is a book with the title "Wedding Days". Or on the small pinboard there is a note (gone to Gym). On the pinboard in the upper right corner is a picture that reminds you of Halloween. On the desk is a picture frame with 3 pictures. Black Rose, Red Rose, Everybody Dance.



The last screenshot shows Josy with one light and one dark leg. I think it is a hint to the triple picture of the Heather/Josy desk.

 

[Machete]

Wait, what??? Why there is an Army Guy in the HOTs' brooms locker??

I've just tried, the DIK MC said the exact same thing :





Or perhaps I had a bug ? Can anyone else try just to be sure ?

It doesn't really change anything anyway. In both case, the MC could have just tell her that Quinn offered him sex for money. It's nothing more than a plot convenience. Maya wouldn't have any plot at all for the 6 first episodes without the whole free tuition thing. Like DavDR said ; just bad writing.

I still think Quinn took an interest in MC at first glance. Each time she sees MC and Maya she says something like "Barbie and Ken" etc. so jealousy might've played some part there. At least initially.
Add that the fact that Maya is nowhere near a girl who'd be interested in being a HOT, she just wants the free tuition. She is definitely not a partying type. That may have pissed her too.
Imagine someone trying to get close to you and your group of friends because they heard you give money away. And that someone doesn't even hide that fact, asks 7/24 about money.
You ask them to do something. She asks "if I do that I will get money, right?" When that happens to a mean person like Quinn, well she'll mess with her for sure.
Additionally, I don't think Quinn made that list because she was only being mean to Maya. I believe she just wanted her to give up (every other daughter as present at the DIK party but nobody asked Maya to come, remember?), but surprisingly she started working for the list and that pissed Quinn off more.
Like, every other girl in HOTs likes to party, or was interested in being a member of a sorority. Even Josy. Maya? She literally calls them "sluts" right at the beginning of the game Obviously looks down on them too.
I don't think the HOTs would fail to notice that, so she'll walk a rough path from now on. Hopefully she'll move on and try to enjoy her life in HOTs. I doubt that but hey, I also hope that. We already have enough drama in the game. It'd be fine if we stopped living through drama for a while

Hey guys, I'm sorry if it's a stupid question, but seeing how popular this game is, I'd like to also try it, but I'm not too much into visual novels. What I mean is that I like some actual gameplay, like seeing a map of the city and being able to visit any girl at any point I want, rather than only reading what's written and not being able to choose where I go next. So is the game like this or is there some kind of freedom of movement? Thanks!
