Read the text correctly. In the introduction to EP5, Rusty tells Tommy while they are sitting on the stairs that Rusty wants to join the Alphas. Tommy counters that it wouldn't do any good because he himself is more athletic than Rusty, and that's even though he smokes. Tommy is athletic and Rusty works out at EP7. Jacob has a good score of 20 on the basketball leaderboard.

So with the DIK's, even with the MC, it could be 4 good players already. Now if we take the good players from the Alphas, the college could get a good team together.

What happened in the repair game, besides rebuilding the estate?

- MC is showing leadership skills (team captain).
- MC shapes the cohesiveness of the DIK's (He shapes a team).
- MC demonstrates business management skills.

Also, MC proves in EP8 that he knows how to coach when he gives Josy tips.

The name Bailey is widely used in basketball. Not just as a last name. At the prep party in EP5, there were many guests. One, however, was never really talked about. The old grandpa who walked through the door. It was the MC's great-grandfather. Bailey E. Howell. Google the resume sometime.

Reading through it all, I see parallels to this game, right down to business management skills. We always start with the grandfather or Lynette's father. Maybe we should ask ourselves why we haven't heard about Lynette's mother. Agnes, perhaps?

Sometimes I do understand DPC when he says... " How the fuck did he thought of that ??? :unsure::p " :KEK:

Anyhow let's just say I disagree from the getgo since in my eyes an athlete is not JUST solely a basketball player but more like it starts from track and field and widens afterwards into specifics... so to say all rounder ;)

I wonder if you personally EVER played seriously in sports but to compare these two with each other ( Mini game - Team Captain ) is really outta this world even if parts of it may be correct the whole sum won't add up... I'm reluctant to pay attention to such remarks as best rebounder - rebound Sage coz this get's a little too close to insanity if I go onward... so I leave it to the pros :LOL::ROFLMAO::KEK:

I may have overlooked something or it may not have occurred in my read-through. Cool, thanks.

Wow. The passage suggests that the horny black-haired girl from the dorm party (who had the threesome when the MC was about to walk through the door) and from the midterms (who is staring at the MC) could be Joanne. This is a girl the MC has never seen before. Then Sage's sentence "Just memories. There are so many people I wish you could have met." also makes sense.

The only question is why she was abroad and maybe she is the exchange student that was mentioned at the beginning.

Do you even read what you write?

So this Joanne who is studying abroad for the semester is the exchange student who was suppose to start at the beginning of the semester?

Why would she go away for the semester only to not go away but come back at the same time?

To put another nail in this whatever the fuck this is, even when she does come back she won't be an exchange student since she's already not only a student of the school but also a member of the HOTs, so she'd just slide right back in at the mansion.

wtfp.jpeg SERIOUSLY ??? :LOL::ROFLMAO::KEK: This would be theirs at best not mine ( MC ) :LUL:
dalli_x said:
It depends on the relationship the MC has with the LI's and the scholarship options that follow. In my playthroughs, Josy and Maya are the LI's. There is a good and stable friendship relationship with Sage, Jill and Isabella. Provided I am correct, this could give my MC 5 scholarship options. 5 out of 5.

Same as before... it's their career path not the MCs... it may be that they meet along the way in some cases but you take it as a given :LOL:

Hmmm... study abroad ... occams razor ... cow tripping ... :LOL::ROFLMAO::KEK:

Criminal career? What is this the Sims 4!? :KEK: and Maya Basket Ball? Where does that assumption come from, Maya doesn't even work out or go to the gym. I'll give you a pass on the others :FacePalm:

Magnar? He would be my bet for a ticking time bomb, but not to the same extent as Leah. He's got that same lurking in the background presence, so I am expecting him to be behind the pictures of Cathy and the ones sent to Chad.

If that's true, he might have some associate(s). Sally, his girlfriend, and the other nerds? Sally attended a DIK party and danced next to Jamie right before he lost his smartphone. A lack of interactions with the nerds seems suspicious though.

Any thoughts of other possible candidates for a dark horse role based on the AL experience?
Frankly speaking, BaDIK consists of tons of recycled tropes and features from AL. Even Tybalt has his own inspiration sources.

I hope, this time we won't have a pregnant woman murdered like in AL even as an optional sequence.

The 8.2 patch contains only bug fixes and tweaking from the 8.0 release. If you wish to play the current version, your best course of action would be to download the torrent from

I actually download by gofile and i was amazed because it was a piece of cake. About 40MB/s and more so 6~7 min for 20Mo. I even couldn't believe my own eyes o_O

Directly it has nothing to do with basketball. But it is well hidden by DPC, because probably many assume that it is only ladies. Guitar players, basketball players, BaDIK players, chess players, ladies players, etc.

Jacob is serious, of course. Players can go to either the Jill Hangout or the Sage Hangout, one decision affects the other LI. Josy=Jill or Sage. Jill=music and Sage=sports. The only problem is when the MC has Sage and Jill as good friends. Then a decision has to be made. Basketball. If the MC is better than Jacob, then basketball and if he is worse, then music.

I am also serious about the LI's. What does Maya say about MC after gender studies is checked off? So now they don't have a class together. If MC is looking for a LI, he will have a class with that LI.

The joke of the whole thing is actually that we don't get the option directly, we decide indirectly through the LI's and the relationship the MC has with you. DPC mentioned in his 2021 Q&A that there will be indirect decisions, the effects of which will be seen later. Actually the same principle he used from EP1-end EP3. The player has a choice between Derek, Sage and Isabella. If the MC does not pursue Sage and Isabella, he only gets Derek.


Maya does exercise very well. In the beginning she often wears sports clothes. She also tells the MC in EP7 that she will go running if she gets stuck with her studies. Derek has a basketball on his shelf. The two of them are siblings. They must have shot some hoops together. The picture of Derek and Maya is hanging right under a basketball court. So Maya is already playing sports.:p

You have no idea about basketball. This isn't high school, where a talented basketball player would make a huge difference. In college basketball, everyone is very talented and the playing field is very even. Hell, even Michael Jordan, widely considered the greatest player of all time, managed to win only one NCAA championship, in his other two years he was knocked out in the second round and in the semi-finals.

So to counter your theory, a team of guys with no basketball talent whatsoever would get destroyed even by the average college team.

So the whole thing being related to basketball is highly unlikely. The DIK's becoming a basketball team is even more unlikely, even more so than Jill and Josy ending up being sisters. :Kappa:

it is unlikely, but the idea that BADIK becomes the ragged version of nba 2k22 excites me in an unspeakable way

I go to sniff the glue
