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

[Olsens.M]

MarkOlsen is infected by dalli_x. He starts to theorize uand speculate. I think this is great. Keep it up.

well you made me think about outcomes because most of comments here are putting my LI in jail lol.

 

[J.A.L.]

That just bring us to one conclusion. She should be more aware of her surroundings. MC can't do all the job for her. It is the same thing with Maya. People always has to be there to solve her problems. The only way MC will know exactly about Quinn selling the girls is if he uses the service. If he doesn't he will only have an idea but no proof. With that being said, he could never tell it to Sage if he didn't use her services. And Since he uses or have used at least once, He should be given the chance to tell her about it, specially when he stays with her at HOTs and talks to her about Quinn in her room on EP 4. So if DPC didn't give us the option to tell her about it is because he may or may not use it in the future.
If you pay attention, There is a part on ep3 that MC can choose in tell Maya about Quinn's operation, but even then he is not clear about what exactly Quinn does to the girls. He only tells her to be careful. If he wanted to be honest or talk about it, he would tell her that Quinn has an escort service and that is probably how they pay for their tuition, but he doesn't really tell her what Quinn does.

Sage hasn´t been the best president of the HOTs, right?
I suppose that the idea of DPC is that Sage has been so obsessed with her awful relationship with Chad and so busy following him around with a pair of binoculars that has left aside most of the business of the HOTs in Quinn´s hands, and we know what Quinn has made with that responsibility.

Now, Sage don´t need to worry about Chad any more, has a calmer state of mind, and has started to take the reins of the HOTs again. So probably, at some point is going to see that weird things are being happening into her fraternity. Probably the first big "eye opener" is going to be Mona. If she is able to talk with her, she´s going to know, or at least start to know that Quinn has been a lousy friend and a disloyal vice president. It will depend of the previous behavior of Tremolo if he´s able to save his relationship with Sage or is going to be a shitstorm for him.

 

[J.A.L.]

Well, MС can answer something like: "Yes, I fucked them and paid them for money. But at least they didn't have to fuck with old people." Although I don't know how much this explanation will suit Sage. But I don't think the restaurant will play any key role. Because otherwise the whole Dik way with outside girls doesn't make sense at all. Why would we go the way of Dik if Sage would break up with Tremolo anyway? It seems to me that there will be several small choices on Sage's path that will affect him in the future. In Chapter 8, we could have told the truth about Chad, or we could have kept silent. In chapter 9, perhaps we will tell Sage that we fucked Jade. She'll get angry, but eventually she'll forgive. That's how I see it.

I think that DIK Tremolo that is client of the restaurant simply doesn´t have any future with Sage. Maybe with Quinn or Lily, but no Sage. DIK Tremolo that is not client of the restaurant has future with Sage... if didn´t fall into the others booby traps that DPC set in his path, of course. But being a client of Quinn is going to be a deal breaker, with Sage, the same way fucking Bella will be a deal breaker with Jill for CHIK Tremolo.

 

[J.A.L.]

The only one she could possibly bich about is he having an affair with Jade, but she never told him that Jade was her mother and had no way she'd know that untill the end up EP 8. You guys are talking about Sage like if she is perfect and only tremolo is fucking things up. He is doing what any young man would do. Having his fun at the college. You guys are too judgy lol. He is a young boy at the college, he has to explore and experience things. So far he doesn't owe Sage anything. They are only fuck buddies. Your decisions will only matter from the moment you both decide to give the relationship a go.

I think that Sage says at some point something like "don´t try to be logical with me when I´m angry". Sage is going to be really angry when she knows that Tremolo has been fucking with her mom (If Tremolo did that, of course), and I don´t think she´s going to be open to reasoning. IF... there is any good reasoning.

Imagine that situation in real life: a girl that suddenly knows that half of her closest friends are hookers, that her father has been fucking them in exchange of money, and ruined the life of the only one that didn´t want to fuck with her. AND, on the top of the cake... her boyfriend has a secret affair with her married mom... How could someone rationally process something like that?

Poor Sage. Her cute head is going to explode

Hah, boy no doubt. When I got to the end of the latest chapter I was like man...I feel bad for people on Sage's path, holy hell that's gonna be crazy.

 

[jamwor88]

Yeah, should be called "special takeout" or something like this. Winning or losing the shot battle shouldn't matter. Did you use a mod?

nope, just played the game normally, I have no idea why it doesn‘t work

 

[PashafromRussia]

I think that DIK Tremolo that is client of the restaurant simply doesn´t have any future with Sage. Maybe with Quinn or Lily, but no Sage.

I am more than sure that this will not happen. I agree with the opinion that the choices made during the relationship, and not before, will matter.
He didn't know Jade was Sage's mother. She never told him that she was an adopted daughter.
He helped the girls earn money.
Lol, if Sage really breaks up with Tremolo because he used the services of a brothel, then this will be my biggest disappointment. Then she will have to break up with her other future guys who clearly fucked whores for money. I'm just imagining this scene:
Sage: MC, you fucked my friends for money!
MC: And what? I wasn't in a relationship and I wanted to fuck.
Sage: they were my friends!
MC: I didn't even know you then, lol. How did I know they were your friends?
Sage: I'm leaving you! You're a traitor!
MC: Fuck you, bitch. Maybe you'll break up with me because I jerked off until you?

 

[KristopheH]

why can‘t I go find sarah after winning the drinking game at the diks party? I also accepted quinns offer

why can‘t I go find sarah after winning the drinking game at the diks party? I also accepted quinns offer but it still says „requires offer“

Are you playing on Android? DPC doesn't like Android users, so several scenes (including that one) have been hard coded to be unavailable to Android users. There's probably a patch on the OP.

No. I already said in my previous comments where the problem would be.
The scene would be:
- Sage: Tremolo, you fucked my friends for money!
- Tremolo: And what? I wasn´t in a relationship and wanted to fuck
- Sage: And what? That you did know that Quinn was making the HOTs a whorehouse, and you didn´t tell me. We were friends. You have had MONTHS to tell me what was happening with my sorority and you had me in the dark because you were benefiting from the situation. You are not best that my own father. You´re a traitor like him. I will never trust in you again. Get out of my face!
- Tremolo: But... But...

 

[DavDR]

but even if he is a customer of the restaurant, he should at least have some sense of guilt, instead he simply pretends not to do anything.

with MC we can know what he's thinking, the complete silence about Quinn (of course especially if he's not in a relationship with her) is deafening.

This is one of the most annoying things in the way the game is written. It's obvious in several places that DPC doesn't want the player to know certain things or doesn't want the player communicating what they know to another character because it will undermine the plot or because there's a 'Shocking Reveal'. Personally I wish he'd just give up on these SR's in his writing, especially as most of the players have already figured out the SR long before it's sprung.

 

[Afapp]

Pretty please by all means go on ! It's been quite the time since I last saw/read " flog the dolphin "

I tried to but got deleted for being off topic. I had some good ones!

I would never believe Sage would say that. It looks very strained and implausible. I could believe it if Jill or Maya said that, but not Sage. She's not that touchy.Of course, she can say something like "I need to think about everything" or "I don't want to see anyone," but this will not mean that they will break up. Because if Sage takes everything so personally, she'll have to drop out of college altogether, lol.

Who is Troy's new roomate? could it be Bert?

I think he could have done that in this way, but he could have just warned us.

"I should warn Sage, but I don't know if she'd believe me. I'll keep an eye on Quinn and as soon as I have something concrete I'll show Sage who she's trusting."

a line of dialogue/thought at the bottom of one of Mc's thousand renderings sleeping or resting

instead no, inner dialogues are exclusive for generic crises of conscience and independent from our actions (the one after the concert is surreal...)

that Maya's boyfriend agrees to organize the Halloween party with Quinn simply doesn't make sense.

but even an MC who isn't with Maya at that point should either be convinced that in the end Quinn isn't as "evil" as he thought, or he should be asking himself two questions.

 

[J.A.L.]

Maybe she will drop out fo college. And it´s something really personal. Lied and betrayed by her best friend, Quinn, her sisters of the sorority, her father, dean of the college, her mother, teacher at the college... and even (in some routes), her boyfriend Tremolo. Can´t be more personal.

Dude, finding out that your Sorority is a brothel is pretty damn personal, especially if it becomes a public scandal. That's something that could brand her name for life. And when it comes to fucking your girlfriends Mother, don't even try to reason out of that it's a purely instinctual matter. You're just dead.

I'm not convinced that having sex with Jade is a game over, I mean how should Sage find out? Jade should tell her... It's not something a stepmom would confess to her daughter lightly.

at the most, dating both of them should make Jade back off and if she hinders MC and his relationship with Sage, order him to leave her alone...

 

[PashafromRussia]

You take the restaurant too seriously. It's just a plot mechanic that allows you to
1) to spend money to the player, which MC has accumulated a lot through mini-games. That's why he invented Madame. An easy way for a player to spend money.
2) It allows you to quickly get sex scenes in the first chapter.
Moreover, the MC talked about the so-called restaurant only with Riona and Camila, and then only in Chapter 5. MС didn't even think about whether it was right or not, he just perceives it as a way for girls to earn money for the maintenance of the mansion. Forcing the player to replay right from the first chapter is too much even for DPC. Because all the key decisions that affect the progress with girls appear only in episode 4.

I smell another blackmail plot. This on top of the possibility that Burke will blackmail Maya. Turns out that Being a DIK means being a blackmailer.

raise your hands everybody who spends money on mommy
