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

[Niu6609]

Sage suffers badly from her attractiveness being taken for granted. She was initially introduced as the queen of the party girls: president of the HOTs, girlfriend of the biggest man on campus, sexy redhead 'bad' girl, the works. Naturally, such a girl would be extremely desirable. As time went on and we learned Sage's actual story, it turns out most of those initial impressions were incorrect (or at least very misleading): Sage is committed to a completely sexless relationship, she struggles to form emotional bonds with anyone, and most of the HOT sisters are way less inhibited than she is.

But despite this dramatic change in how Sage is presented, it seems DPC never really thought about what that would mean for Sage herself. Sage was originally intended to be confident, so she remains confident despite no longer having anything in her backstory that would justify such confidence (and several things that would contradict it). She'll give the MC an important lecture in how life outside a bubble works despite, it turns out, actually having far LESS understanding of how her sorority works than Rusty did of the DIKs.

I don't think we're supposed to notice these contradictions. I think we're supposed to accept all our initial impressions of Sage as valid, and then consider the specific circumstances as unique exceptions that have no larger implications. It's a bit like the Affinity system: we're supposed to accept the overall 'feel' of the setup even when the details wind up contradicting it.

It's one of DPC's biggest weaknesses as a writer, IMHO.

I do agree with that. It does at times feel like she's giving herself false confidence just to get through a situation and she definitely seems to have a problem with handling relationships, given that A) she isn't very good at confrontation, and sometimes that is incredibly crucial in a relationship; B) she's not one for discussing emotions due to her familial background, and C) it seems like her relationship with the HOTs sisters isn't as good as one might think, and that's saying a lot considering that she's probably known them for much longer than she has the MC.

However, her contradictions make her feel that much more human. I find that people, more often than not, are often hypocritical and that their actions conflict with their philosophies and ideologies. I do agree that her written dialogues could've been much better, and that her personality could've been much more consistent though.

Hoping future episodes this year can act as a redemption arc for her character and keep the Sage we all know and love has she is, no more sudden personality changes.

I've got 7 and a half hour left, so I don't have happy new years yet.
And chick with dicks... Noooo

You sure you don't like a chick with a dick? Really? Because this chick with a dick looks pretty damn hot to me.



I kid, I kid

I love my future brother-in-law Derek. Actually, i love him so much that i'll blesse him with many nephews

 

[TajaRrR]

Actually not the case, if you replay the conversation he does mention Chad, but also implies there is another, more important, reason. Jacob knows she is a Burke. That doesn’t mean what ever other crackpot theory Dali has is true.

The conversation with Jacob was part of the evidence for the Jade and Sage relationship theory before it was confirmed.

Okey I don't remember that but I will belive you on that one.
Then why, Jacob never said anything to mc about it later on?
I know it is kept secret for dramatic end in last episode but he could say something, anything to watch out for her.

 

[mindern]

Was it really just a warning about Chad? The MC already had a problem with Chad before. There was no need for a warning anymore. And Jacob also asks the MC in the game, ober doesn't know who she is. The MC has known since EP1 that Sage is Chad's girlfriend.

Maybe Jade is also anxious for no one to find out. Derek himself says jackpot to Jade at one point when he saw her in Gender Studies. Where did Jade go with him when Derek went to the feminist demonstration? Maybe to the small storage room?

Jacob is cut off, specifically. The game uses ellipses.

He mentions the alphas as a warning then goes to say something else (iirc he says something to the effect of “not to mention…”) before he is cut off.

Youre right it wasn’t just a warning about Chad. It foreshadows this whole Burke thing too.

 

[TajaRrR]

Wait wait wait!
I see it now!
The biggest hint of who her parents are!

He probably didn't think MC is that dumb and doesn't know people's names

Jacob: You do realize who you're about to bang in public?
MC: Yeah, of course

 

[dalli_x]

About menopause I assume you're talking about this:
View attachment 1573176

No, I don't believe this is proof Derek knows about Jade's menopause. It's comic relief to show Derek's complete ignorance of anything to do with women or sexuality.
Jacob warning about PDA's with sage is to protect him from a violent ambush by the Alpha's in the future. Not an attack from the Burke's.

You just think Derek doesn't know. He knows that Becky is not interested and that Arieth has crabs. So he writes the truth on his list.

Yea I see it.
Makes sense now

When I see dalli_x theories all the time I want to jump with mine too.
It's not that pretty looking like his but I just noticed something one time.

I think someone watches Quinn drug business, probably police.

Can in this truck be police watching Rio and collecting evidence?
I know it could be anything, postman, Amazon etc.
But Rio said that someone is stalking her and I think we didn't caught REAL stalker at the party. There could be someone else, police guy maybe?
Yea so that's it. I'm not saying it's 100% but it caught my eye.

Yes, I think the blue truck is almost certainly a police vehicle. it's been in a bunch of scenes other than these as well.

Secondly I think the rejected DIK candidate is also probably an undercover cop.

Nope. Definitely CIA. B&R is a covert terrorist training camp, and episode 12 will feature GI Joe led by special agent in charge Derek sweeping in to eliminate the threat.

The theory that the police are investigating has been around for a long time and is not mine. No idea who published it first.

But it wouldn't be stupid of the police, because Riona is probably the weakest link in the chain and could be turned over. Maybe someone also observed the MC giving money to Riona in EP5.

Lily is not out of the running for me as an undercover agent. It is a little strange though. Quinn and Vinny probably get their drugs from the same dealer. So how is it that Quinn is selling her drugs cheaper than Vinny? And you have to remember that Tommy can't afford Quinn's drugs, but he buys from the expensive Vinny. It's funny. Unless Lily can sell the drugs so cheaply among the Pink Rose Girls because Lily has to maintain her cover undercover.

But why is Lily investigating the Pink Rose. The secret word is Golden. I assume that rich guys are being ripped off in the Pink Rose. Maybe Stephen is one of them.

Speculation.
Is Tybalt maybe the son of the Madame and was foisted on Stephen as a son? Wow, it's giving me the creeps.

Well vinny simply overcharges and Tommy is prolly getting a bro discount/a first time buyer discount to get in good with the pinkrose again who are invited to the holloween party. Aka he might even be taking a hand out of free drugs in order to set something up for vinny at the party.

Also if im not mistaken quinn charges less on a whole then vinny but last time tommy tried to buy didn't he get charged double? Maybe he doesn't believe that was a one time charge etc so even vinny's over inflated price is prolly less the quinns double. you know he's like of she's charging me double because she hates me not because something fucked up happened etc.

Tommy stopped buying from Quinn after she increased the price when she got robbed(She told Sally in the library that it was a one time thing). My guess is that price was higher than what Vinny charges.
One thing to be considered about drugs, is that dealers usually give you more when you buy more. Lily is buying it for her and all the PR girls. Me and my friends usually buy weed this way.

She(Lilly) sold drugs so unless we talking charlie's angel where all the pink rose are undercover cops..that do drugs. I'd say it's highly unlikely she's an undercover cop.(we as the veiwers know this mc doesn't.)

You just think Derek doesn't know. He knows that Becky is not interested and that Arieth has crabs. So he writes the truth on his list.

Becky... It is hard to pin down a topic with you because red herrings are always introduced. Becky is an asshole to both Derek and Maya. They are not COOL people. This has nothing to do with Derek and Jade doing the horizontal bop. If Derek and Jade had sex it would cross 2 things off the Hell Week list. It is absurd to think that Derek would not mention that ti MC or any of the DIKs. To assume otherwise is betting on a 3 legged horse to win the Kentucky Derby.
I know you're not done with the topic but I am. You will get a mea culpa from me if your theory pans out, but I'm not worried that that will be necessary.
Cheers and Happy New Year

Try disable DHT/PEX and restart the torrent. If that doesn't work, make sure UDP isn't disabled.
If that doesn't work let me know and I'll hop in your DMs
