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

But the strange thing is that it led me here.

And these are indisputable clues from DPC. DPC is asking if we did our homework.

I agree with you that the beta looks like an ß. But a pink Weibeta beer looks kind of weird, doesn't it? At the risk of repeating myself, the word "weiß" in German is derived from the word "knowledge."

It's also not the first time in the game that DPC has mentioned the German language in the game.

"Indisputable"

I do not think that means what you think it means...

I'm gonna come out and say it.

Everything you've been saying in your current train of thought is completely bullshit.

βββ is the Tri-Beta fraternity symbol. "scientia potentia est" is their motto, 'cause you know, learning (what the TriB's are all about) leads to knowledge.

"Have you done your homework?" is just further emphasis on their expectation that all members excel in their studies. It's not DPC asking you, it's Magnar reminding his cohort.

Everything you've discussed is not an "indisputable" clue at all. What it is, is a stretch of the imagination, and an extreme one at that.

β = beta
ß = sharp S

It's clear that all those posters contain the beta symbol, and not the sharp S (clue: look at the tail dropping on the left).

Is DPC giving out complimentary head strokes? *pouting* I want DPC to come to my home and stroke my head. If he did that I would give Interlude a five star rating and would pledge to eternally simp for Zoey.

I've booked him in for Friday, make sure you're home.

Just for the record, to my knowledge, none of your extreme theories have ever panned out, like ever.

Correct. No clues. No.

- Rocket? Conversation of Josy and Maya in EP6. MC has a rocket.
- Moon points to Jill, Lana and Maya. Yes, Maya, she mentioned in the above conversation that the rocket landed on the moon. That's a small step for a human, but a big leap for Maya.
- DNA strand to the moon Jill, Lana and the above conversation of Josy and Maya. Where this will lead.
- Matrix image. Reference to the "fake ID - great choice" decision. Who all do we see in the bar? Nora, Jade, Cathy, Sandy, and Nicole. The meaning of Sandy is still not clear to me.

- In EP3, the MC talks about Envy's clothes and the meaning of the colors. Those colors happen to be black and green.
- Cathy leaves B&R
- Jade could be dangerous to the MC.
- Nora could be dangerous for the MC (she could become one of his teachers, if you see her at the end of EP8 you can come to this conclusion).
- A beautiful picture of Nicole and the MC has emerged.

So what does the Matrix picture tell us? Hands off the fake ID if the MC wants an LI.

None of my theories have come true? Tremolo. The two-finger reference to Chad and Troy. You should change your protocol.

Excellent ! Even the " scharfes S " is put to it's place... ( wonder no1 else realized it ??? ) the homework bullshit is also in it's place... ( what a controversal thing on a nerds wall right ?! ) Undisputably indisputable !

 

[sixart]

The meaning of Sandy is still not clear to me

Sandy ist 'ne ganz scharfe S !

So what does the Matrix picture tell us?

Nerds... and bullshit ! Ever thought about it what made The Matrix what it is today and why we got there ?

Sorry Dalli, I actually removed that mean comment about your other theories, but you saw my post too soon, so once again, I apologise for being a cunt there, but regarding this new theory: No fucking way!

(That said, I think everything of yours that I just quoted above is also madness! They are all just random meaningless points.)

At least the "MC's mom is dead, Jill's sister is dead, they must be the same person" theory uses decent circumstantial evidence to come up with a theory (even though there was heaps of counter evidence).

But your theories are so wild, they are akin to, "Jill has a mom, mc had a mom, they must be the same person!"

Or

There are 19 ivory keys visible, or partially visible on the piano in this shot. The mc is 19. Jill's Rooster nick includes "Ivory". Therefore this means that he will marry Jill...

The truth is, it's a picture of a fucking piano for you to play "Für Elise”. Oh fuck, “Für Elise” is a German piece. More German!

Oh shit, I just translated it to English:

But there are too many coincidences for my taste. With too many coincidences that have a main goal, there is usually an intention behind them. And why? So that when we play through the game we don't make certain mistakes again.

DPC also warns us about wrong decisions or gives hints to look carefully at a decision before clicking on it with the mouse.

Examples:
- Not fighting the jocks because the MC will give away his skills if we do.
- Not teasing Josy with the towel in EP8. I'm sure she wouldn't like that, the MC thinks to himself.
- If you refuse the Fake ID, the MC says he doesn't want to do anything illegal anymore.

BaDIK is full of hints like that. It doesn't matter if it's an ß or a β. Why? The beer shows us people who have important information for the game or become important later in the game. At the EP7 HOT party, not everyone drinks beer. At the EP8 Dorm party, not everyone drinks beer either.

Example: Tommy and Nick are drinking beer at the dorm party. Their conversation is very interesting. It's about growing weed and that Tommy already wanted to ask Jamie. Oddly enough, Franz misses the weed that Jamie used to bring. At least that's what Dani says.

How is it possible to make such a connection with a beer reference? Coincidence? If it happened only once, it wouldn't be worth mentioning. But it happens too often. So they're not coincidences anymore.

These aren't coincidences. If you look at enough data, you will see repetition. That's life, that's not a clue.

To suggest "It doesn't matter if it's an ß or a β" is completely disregarding facts:

• It's a fact that the 'β' is what's used on the posters,
• it's a fact that there are three of them,
• it's a fact that 'β" is the Greek symbol for "beta"; and
• it's a fact that the nerd fraternity is called tri-betas.

You're disregarding these facts so you can come up with a theory that says something else.

I admit there are the occasional subliminal background images that are either a joke, or a hint at something to come. But most of the background stuff is just there to complete the setting.

 

[Cabin Fever]

I worked at a shelter for homeless, the office there had a plexi glass window, some times they tried to throw tiles through it, after the first few windows broken in a very short time the plexi glass one prevented any more damage. (just replacing it every few years was enough untill the next time scratches were too much to see clear.) Most damage after that was a result from the rebound.

As for normal window glass, that's easily broken, but most outside windows will atleast have toughened glass...

Plexiglass makes sense at a homeless shelter for obvious reasons, but not for regular houses or a frat house.

 

[Darkwen]

Oddly enough, Franz misses the weed that Jamie used to bring. At least that's what Dani says.

How the fuck does does a rabbit miss weed? Also doesn't Dani say that Franz identify as female I don't know how she can tell and I'm pretty sure that would be a very one sided conversation but if history tells us anything when a rabbit talks don't listen. I think its Dani or her roommate that misses the weed because after talking to her you got to smoke something and a lot of it.

But had to realize this just won't cut it... sooo...

I think its Dani or her roommate that misses the weed because after talking to her you got to smoke something and a lot of it.

This is how that conversation actually goes:

Dani: "Franz has been missing you."
Jamie: "Really?"
Dani: "Yeah. Franz could tell that something was off."
Dani: "I think Franz misses the grass you used to grow."
Jamie: "It's pretty funny..."
Jamie: "I still grow that grass, but there's no one there to eat it now."
Jamie: "Maybe I could still bring it to him-"
Dani: "Not him. Franz has decided to identify as non-binary from now on."
Jamie: "Binary or decimal... Whatever Franz chooses is fine by me."

Dani is a fool. One of the object lessons that DrPinkCake uses to tell us what he thinks of feminists.

As for Franz, Jamie was bringing him her it actual grass, as in the stuff that's constitutes your lawn. Jamie doesn't grow weed. He explicitly says that to the MC. I believe he says that Tommy asked him to do that, but Jamie refused. [Haven't looked that one up, though]

The moral of this story is to take any theories of Dalli-x's with an enormous grain of salt, and treat them as exercises in very imaginative humor.

I don't think he sees it that way but...

Anyhow no harms done so scratch that enormous grain of salt and take ( almost all ! ) theories with this !

Afterwards you will come up with theories that will surpass even Dalli's work of fictions

 

[NewTricks]

Now that I can latch onto!

Nick is the obvious mole possibility. He was best friends with Vinnie (Vinnie again! ), and his room was the least trashed of all. Now if Vinnie is the culprit, it could just be that Vinnie saved Nick from the worst damage due to their friendship, and Nick had no knowledge of what would happen. Or Nick could be in deep up to his eyebrows. If there is a mole, and there probably is, Nick is the obvious choice - there's that word again.

But which Alpha? Dawe might have provided the dildos to someone who asked, but I just can't see him as a mastermind to anything. So far, he's just a foil for PinkCake's sense of humor.

How about Caleb, now. He came into the game just before all this happened. Could he have been a plant? I don't want to get too dalli-x-esque on weird theories though. Seems a little bit implausible. But my mind does work in strange ways sometimes.

I have to admit that as far as suspicious behavior is concerned, Nick is the top of the list as far as the Diks go. In addition to your stated points, he checks some other boxes in scenes that would otherwise be pointless. He doesn't really seem to enjoy frat life without Vinnie around. He can't even have fun in the strip club. The night that Cathy was exposed he was sulking in the library, pretending to look for the laptop when it was obvious he was hiding. He has a strange conversation with Tommy about how he gave up pot and discouraged him from growing his own, kind of funneling him back to Vinnie. He does seem to care about Vinnie more than he does being a Dik. What probably makes me the most suspicious is that he is just... too nice. Like Canadian nice. The kind of person nobody would expect to have done what was done to Cathy. But you may be right that he is too obvious. I can't help but think there are still too many puzzle pieces missing.

Here's a breakdown on Nick before episode 8.

There's no way he's not going to link back to Vinny after all that.

In case it does...

but if it does not...

What doesn't convince me about Nick as a mole is that in this way Vinnie would have exposed him in a very naive way. a mole is an asset to protect not to highlight

I like much better the theory that Nick's room would be spared as the only one who did not have sex with Arieth

or it is simply written in a coarse way

 

[varage]

I want Zoey to be MC mk II. Just saying..

 

[GhostFaceGuy]

Are there any news regarding new chapter?

 

[Redd23]

ok we need that interlude to come out, as the wild theories are reaching the new levels of craziness, while normally I try to keep up with them, right now I'm so fucking lost xd

 

[hairyzephyr]

Are there any news regarding new chapter?

Updates are every Friday. Latest one here.

You must be registered to see the links

We are getting closer to the release.

Animations for the Interlude are complete, and beta testing and proofreading will start partly today.

The biggest task during beta testing is to test the save transfer system used to import your Season 1/2 games (Patreon/Steam/GOG).

I wish to work out any kinks before a public release, hoping this will go smoothly.

This release marks the foundation that Season 3 will be built upon, meaning that testing is important and challenging even though the Interlude is shorter than previous episodes.

I'll be able to announce a release date after testing has started and I've gotten a feel for the workload.

It's been different working on the Interlude compared to a standard episode of Being a DIK. I've gotten used to making big episodes that making something shorter felt like a break.

I'm extremely pleased with the content I've produced for it and I've been able to explore completely new things, exclusive to the Interlude. The storytelling has felt natural and even though it's different it still belongs in the game. Creating this actually brought me back to the days of Acting Lessons when episodes were primarily focused on story and emotions.

I can't wait to release it, and I hope you will be as excited about it as I am.

Aside from doing the finishing touches of the Interlude, I've been working on episode 9 this week as well. I've been planning the episode, writing some base structure, and working on art and animations.

I will focus on beta testing in the upcoming week.

Have a nice weekend

Dr PinkCake
