Accepting Quinns offer isn't less respectable (and neither is cheating on tests imo
), it's like she said, like going to a restaurant. But I guess that depends on who you ask. Josy and Bella might find it not respectable, while for Tommy or Rusty it would be a total non-issue.Reading my comments as they like and not as I write them is the thing most people is doingRead my post again. I wrote something about change and a little further down there is something about negative and positive. After that, think about it.
You should read a text as it is written and not as you like it.
I have never said "The most coherent path is the MC being a MASSIVE DICK, but that´s the way some people is interpreting it.
Maybe the MC won’t have to “fit” as leader of the DIKs but the DIKs will “fit” the MC’s affinity?I think that the character that is pure NEUTRAL in this game is Jacob. A totally reasonable guy. Not too bland, not too crazy. Sensible enough to be an artist, wild enough to accomplish at least some of the proves of the "Hell Week". Great follower, so far (maybe it turns out that he's the traitor that posted the photo of Cathy, but I don't think so). But he don't have charisma enough to be a leader for the DIKs.
For being the leader of the DIKs only make sense that you are a DIK yourself. Again, not a MASSIVE DIK or HUGE DIK. Not a Tommy. Just some drops of initiative, charisma and aggressiveness (in certain moments when aggressiveness is necessary) to add to the cocktail of a reasonable main character. By definition, NEUTRAL people don´t have that kind of initiative, charisma and aggressiveness. They follow instructions of people that have that kind of traits. If a guy like Jacob would have the right stuff to be the leader of the DIKs, he would be the leader of the DIKs. A leader has to take a clear position to impose himself. And, in this game, the MC has to start being an unofficial leader to the DIKs. The player can't pass the ball to others, so far, but score himself.
Again, I´m thinking in terms of what is the most logical path so far. I don't know what is going to write the dev. Maybe he actually tries to lead the player to a NEUTRAL position and at some point will start punishing DIKs and CHIKs players. It would not be logical, IMO. The dev will write what he wants, but after every update, any player will think "this new update has all the sense according the previous ones" or "the dev has lost his mind in this update". Will see. If the idea of the dev is that what makes sense to get the best possible ending is a full NEUTRAL MC, I will be disappointed. Mass Effect III's ending, level of disappointment
That's not the point. We are not talking about the future, since nobody knows the plans of the dev, but about the chapters already released. The debate was about the more logical path of the MC to be as coherent as possible with the initial premise of the game and the things the MC has done so far in the plot and don´t depend of the choices of the player: becoming a full member of DIKs, leading them in the task of repairing the house, taking the initiative of talking with Cathy and trying to fix the problem with the leaked photo, etc.
Fine, then full DIK or neutral isn’t the way because the DIKs aren’t a street gang or pack of wolves.
but to be fair, that is the only CHICK decision that brings advantages with DIKs.
Just in the recent episode, tell me which is more of a Better Leader quality .
A Dik MC who selfishly Accept the Pink Rose VIP Ticket, when their mansion is trash, and desperately need every penny to fix it. - BTW Derek reject it if he won
or the "Chick " MC Who reject the reward , because they need the money more than anything.
and MC who pick the Elder home, because its actually pay better that is the most logical choice.
Who would you respect more ?
just for you interest, the Rusty, the leader pick the elder home, to show an example , and you gain +rp point with the Diks also if you volunteer.
Who you respect more, a guy, who accept quinn offer to be able to have sex. or a guy, who can Charm , womans like Bella, girls like Josy, Jill, Sage.
Yeah standing up for yourself and fighting give you respect, you can slip those decisions, I do. But to Say that a Chick MC would not gain respect and not make sense is a far stretch, IMO. not to mention most of them is just a "wannabe alpha". freeloaders, leechers who enjoyed Rusty's dad money. and Jacob was such a pussy he was not dare to make a move on a girl, unless you cleared the path for him.
but i guess if you only think black and white system, Massive this or that, you might think the way you think. But the affinity can only be Chick and neutral and Dik, there might be a scale, but it not really affect anything. I think there was only one time, or 2 where the actula Massive Dik or Huge dik, scale come in to play . and they were pretty much meaningless lewd moments, unimportant for the main story.
To be fair is the DIKs liking him the central element of a leader? Ideally everyone would love their leader. But you can’t always do what people like. Sometimes being a leader means making decisions people don’t like.
That's not the point either. You have to play according the internal logical of the game and the options the game gives to you, not according what you thing a good leader would be. For example, you can´t be an "ass kisser for when alumni turn up" in this game so far. There is no "fighting the city hall" in this game so far. You are talking about things that are not in the game. I´m talking about things that are in the game.
in absolute terms you would also be right, but also the chronicle is full of politicians who do nothing but promise what the people want and don't fight for what they need. and it seems to me that they are quite successful around the world
OK. You are talking about things that would do a MASSIVE DIK. We have already said that that's not the premise. I said in my previous comments that the more logical path for the MC would be start like a CHIK at first, and after the first week more o less, slowly (at first) evolve to a DIK, not a MASSIVE DIK or a HUGE DIK. That's the premise we were debating about.
So in your restrictive scenario the best route is neutral. Because we’re not picking what is actually sensible we’re using existing knowledge of the outcomes to pick what’s best based on what we know to be the outcome of our choices. Being DIK, neutral or CHICK isn’t “logically” better. There’s no logic here because we’re dealing with a known quantity. This shits axiomatic.
Leader is a person who, with training in project leadership or not, managing a specific team or group of people, is capable of influencing, motivating and making all team members work with enthusiasm focused every day on achieving achievements. goals and objectives.
And once you take out the unnecesary sheet against Josy and Maya, the whole chick into dik thing has some sense. But the leader thing... Maybe a moderate DIK, and mostly couse its part of that subgroup culture, to fit in. But one of the most important traits of a leader of that dimension, of a small group of people with no clear jearchy is to not be selfish. You need to compensate couse people already resent you couse your position.
Yes, you can get the blowbjob for free with a chick affinity in ep5 during the prep party. You won't be able to help her with her task in ep6 but you'll have the opportunity to fuck her in ep7, if you previously kissed her in ep5.
I disagree. The major problem with this analysis is what MandalayRoad doing. Identifying the Delta Iota Kappa aka Dik, with the Dik affinity scale . and I seem to remember we come to the conclusion it's not the case
. surely, the decisions you mentioned are having an effect on the other members, thanks to the fact that they are a bunch of pussy. to them some of these actions are impressive because they don't have the balls to do it. We got Jamie as a member, who dating with a feminist, basically a beta around her, writing poets , and he is a gardener.. . So yeah there are these things, but the Chick, Neutral, Dik affinity things is not one of them, because the Dik scale, is not represent the Dik fraternity. That is not what the story is about.
