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

[Deleted member 2128394]

My 19-year-old son didn't know his best friend's last name for a long time.

Yes, he can be an idiot, but he might be a typical example, because his friends didn't know his last name for a while.

I firmly believe kids these days don't know full names because they never had to look anything up in a phone book.

Yeeep. I didn't know the last name of my college roommate (a guy I lived with for almost two years) until I accidentally saw his driving license. Also still don't know the last name of a girl I kinda dated and lived with for around a month last summer, and we spent fucking 24h together every day.

I also remember being absolutely dumbfounded at the age of like 20, when I found out that my two friends I hung out with separately are actually brother and sister. They had the same last name, but I never made the connection, and I knew these people since fucking high school lmao

The human brain can be really fucking dumb sometimes and assume everyone knows things that aren't actually known lol

literally just changed it lmao

although i changed it back to the image you gave me

 

[Lostanddamned]

once again, credit where credit due. It was very funny, and kind of satisfying, that after the Sage & Quinn threesome, MC is is like yeah it was great, you on the other hand was 3 our of 5, to Sage

I love it, so satisfying to give Sage a little dose of her own medicine

Sage's reaction to the 3 out of 5 was so cute, I love it. I wonder who will get the 5 out of 5 first, MC or Sage.

That Maya looked like this version I think

 

[Angelray]

but that they don't think it's necessary to inform him, neither the DIKs when they saw his video with Jade, nor Sage herself when she asks him to accompany her...

But do the DIK know?
Why would they know?
Did they date Sage?

There doesn't seem anyone who is in Sage's scholar year and/or classes, and even the only one I could think of (Rusty) doesn't seem to be in his last year at the opposite of Sage.
So for me, it's more showing about a generation who do not go past "basic" information required for interaction with phones rather than MC oddity.

Jacob clearly knows this, in fact he almost warns MC when he sees him making a move with Sage.
Then if Quinn knows, I assume Tommy knows too.

We're not talking about a state secret...

 

[OFT]

Well, at least our MC reads his mother's diary...he doesn't know her last name , does he ?

As far as I know, it is not mentioned anywhere in the game that the MC does not know his mother's last name. In fact, I absolutely believe he knows it, and I’ll say it would be an incredible bit of shit writing if DPC expects us to believe otherwise.

Her last name, however, has not been revealed. There are many possible reasons for this: it’s immaterial; revealing it would lessen a surprise later; hiding it is a red herring to keep us talking about it; ad nauseam.

However, because incest is not an option, and assuming the MC knows Lynette’s surname, I’ll say it is certain that it’s not any of the following:

• Bailey
• Burgmeister
• Burke
• Jones
• Roberts
• Royce
• Whatever Sage’s surname was prior to her adoption

Additionally, I’m hoping it’s neither Thomson or Johnson, because that would take Bianca and Karen off the list of lewd possibilities, and I’m really hoping to get a swing at both of them.

You assume that for Jacob but it's not said. For all which is clear, he is certainly more speaking about the situation: AAA vs DIK, and Chad (AAA) relation to Sage.
Her family name do not matter for this warning.

And also, you assume Quinn knows (which, seen her personality, i doubt greatly because for all her attempts at being a chessmaster, she is not), and then try to infer Tommy knows too for this reason. But season 2 clearly shows that the communication between those two is purely a piece of power and they do not communicate when it's not in their interest.

So as for now, I remain on the idea that no DIK knows.

Sage's real surname we don't even know if Sage knows/remembers it....

about Lynette you're being very optimistic, but after all it's realistic since we've been told that Neil struggles to remember accurately...

Let's say Lynette surname is A.

Jade surname is not Burke. So she could be her sister (if incest was possible i don't know why you rule it out but it's not important for the theories here) if her maiden name is A.

As for Baily, Burgmester, Jones, Burke, Roberts I agree that those names would have no real interest as storytelling tools. For Royce it's not as clear. If Royce is the name of the father of Jill, then the family of her mother is an option because i don't know what you mean per incest in this (and i assume it's related to the patreon thing, which is based on laws of another part of the world i don't know either). In our country incest is not even legally defined so I don't know which degree of separation between Jill and the mother of MC would count as incest for patreon. Maybe anything up to 4th degree who know.

Anyway, i don't think the surname is important. I'm more focused on the location share in the photo, and the fact that maybe Amelia knew MC mother from that time, or they went to school together.

It's in the same bag as my theory about Jill sister being friend with Isabella before her death, Jill becoming close to her that way, and trying to find her sister back by going out with her in a failed lesbian experience.
(I didn't read any thing before so it may or not have been discussed here. I was too focused on playing the game since the 6th ^^).

I think you remember very little of the scenes in the game

Jacob warns MC because he knows that Sage is connected to important/dangerous people at BR, how could he know that without knowing who they are?

Quinn provokes Sage by asking her to solve HOTs financial problems by turning to her family. your opinion of her is not very important, Quinn is Sage's "goddaughter" and the person Sage trusts the most.

Chad specifically refers to what Sage's parents could do for him


NOT A SECRET, how can a student's last name/family be?

at most no one could know that Sage was adopted, but not who she is, after 3 years of college done in the foreground, not on the sidelines

 

[Angelray]

You think black and white.

It's not because something is not said that it's a secret...
in real life, you meet dozen of people who never ever will know your surname and still know that you shouldn't be messed with.
I understand that for you "Jacob knows". I accept your idea, but i didn't read anything in what you wrote which is clearly advocating it. As for "important people" related to Sage (from a scene that, yes, i didn't study for 15 hours before posting here - like I said, i was too busy playing season 2) told by Jacob: Chad as president of AAA IS important people.

(And for Chad, i don't disagree - i don't even remember that scene -, but again, he is not DIK and i don't see him sharing with DIKs about this.)

So i'm not saying you are wrong. You may totally be right. But the game didn't tell me so in a clear and convincing manner, and i think you are making connections which do or may not exist

Jacob and MC make it clear that they are not talking about Chad....
we're not talking about people you meet randomly once in your life, we're talking about a sorority president who has close ties to the other fraternities.
In three years, I'd say Rusty and Tommy have had plenty of opportunities to find out...

Jill wanted to hide her last name and all MC had to do was talk to their one mutual friend to find out.

even you establishing that no one can know reason for black and white....

Thank god for Derek to cheer you up from having to choose the girls throughout the game, he's the best bro in any vn game

Bianca, eh ?

Your CHICK aura is so strong makes it hard for me to give you a proper wedgie.

 

[sixart]

hiding it is a red herring

Is this a fact ? Where is the mislead here ?
If you mean you guys creating theories upon theories that's not DPCs doing...

 

[kyrlian]

also remember being absolutely dumbfounded at the age of like 20, when I found out that my two friends I hung out with separately are actually brother and sister. They had the same last name, but I never made the connection, and I knew these people since fucking high school lmao

I can believe that with people you barely know but not with friends.... you didn't know where they live? meet their parents? they never talked about family things? You never saw them together? Never went to their house? Maybe they weren't so close.

Today with Instagram and Facebook is even more difficult, you can't hide a Tybalt in real life for a second, the first thing any girl you meet does is... check your social networks to see who you are. In my country when people flirt they exchange the Instagram handle first and maybe later the phone number.
