Vinnie's motives are to get clients for his merchandise, as a secundary goal he might want to obstruct Quinn's business.
But lets be fair, what exactly does Vinny get from the DIK mansion being trashed? He will not get more clients, there's no parties in the DIK mansion. He gets Tommy as client but that's a result of Quinn doubling prices to compensate being robbed. So what's Vinnie's motive?
The only suspicious thing is his friend Nick's room didn't get trashed... and that could have been pure luck because the people wrecking the house started at the first door they saw up the stairs (Jacob) and then continued to the right...
So it's either the Jocks or another (group) that wanted it to look like the Jocks did it or they did it for the Jocks. The dildo's point at the Jocks but putting their signs everywhere when being watched? That's Dawe Dumb 101. So Caleb? Vinnie? Some Tri Beta's?
Only the Jocks have a clear motive but it's still questionable they did it.
It's a tough call. DPC swung one with ManBun at the preps party, but almost everything he's done storywise has been very obvious early on, so if Nick isn't involved in the laptop/mansion fiasco I would be quite surprised. I'd expect him to have at least had a hand in the laptop in Vinnie's old room, even if he didn't help with the mansion factor. Maybe Vin spun him a tale about needing it for something and then made the post.
I'd like to think it was all a big sham and there's something else going on, but DPC just hasn't been that good with the deception thus far.
Even to me Nick does not give the impression of the infamous, but if he had warned Vinnie not having any idea of what would have happened, then if he would have had to ask her two questions, he should have had some doubts, instead he seems to live it serene
at this point he is either completely innocent and is just a huge red herring, or completely guilty and aware of his role.
Nick clearly feel guilty about something, he can be a red herring but the fact that his bedroom was okay is strange when Jacob's one was trashed ( it could be that the ones who trashed it didn't have the time anymore but it doesn't take that much time to do some heavy damage). He feel guilty about Jacob, going to the Pink Rose the first time ( and for the Pink Rose he doesn't have a reason to feel guilty).
It's possible that if Vinnie is involved in the trashing, Nick just told him that the house was empty and didn't know that Vinnie would trash the house. The problem I have with shazba's theory is why didn't Vinnie find the box ? He should have know where it was if it was his.

Certainly BADIK is not a detective story with sophisticated twists and turns, but in every mystery DPC has inserted blatant false clues, without even bothering to explain them (like Troy's women's panties).
and Nick is so obvious that he has every reason to be a false clue... then it could be that he was in the ex-library looking for something for Vinnie, but from there to being the mole is a long way off...
Assuming Vinnie left the box there after he dropped out, that would mean that it was in the DIK mansion for around a year or so. How long does something stay put that long in a house? Let alone in a frat that hosts parties on a regular bases. Then there are people like Sarah that snoop around and the room is used for fucking and pissing apparently. If Vinnie wanted the box he could just ask Nick to get it. I don't see a motive for him going there personally and trashing it. Unless the box was left behind after the place was tossed and Nick was in there looking for it, to return it to Vinnie. Still unlikely though.
Hey, Btw I guess these were made for you ? You requested it didn't you ?. I have to admit, She does look good . Not fan of all the tatto, but , yeah She is hot , I made my "sorcerers" - Lost ark- Blue haired because of her

Which minor and innocuous choice will randomly end up playing a big part in the story and why is it paying off Chadnar to cross the tri betas off the board?
I've completed my first run for the v0.8.2 going mostly chick. Do you guys think that a Dik playthrough is worth doing for the main story and the content for main heroines? The structure of the game didn't make me feel that those stats affect that much compared to the choices to accept or refuse the girls.
So Vinny trashes his own room when he starts up with the DIKs. But it's all a bit of subterfuge, to hide shit or whatever.
Vinny gets kicked out, probably because Tommy threw a tantrum or some shit like that.
But Vinny has left something important at the mansion. I'm thinking drugs, but it could be anything, but it's small.
During the Cathy Cluck escapade, we hear that the laptop has been found, in the library no less, and yet there's Nick, searching in the library for something. Is he really looking for the laptop? Or is he looking for something at Vinny's behest (I've been playing the Witcher 3 again, I don't know how many times I've heard, "...at the emperor's command and Yennefer's behest", so it's my turn to use that old ass word).
Anyway, Nick is looking like he's up to some skulduggery (another old ass, yet cool word), I don't believe for a second he was in that room looking for the laptop. But he doesn't find whatever it is he's looking for (that's what happens when you trash your own room Vinny, you stupid fuck ).
Then the mansion is trashed. Yes all signs point to the Alphas. Including literal signs sprawled over the walls. I keep saying it, the Alphas are somewhat retarded, but they are able to resist getting into fights with the DIKs only to trash the DIK mansion and then personally tag the place? No, they didn't do it.
It's a frame job. Vinny and his crew have trashed the joint looking for something, and decided to frame the Alphas to cover their tracks.
But what is it they are looking for. Suddenly, out of absolutely fucking nowhere (I wasn't even playing a scene where this little fucker shows up - that just shows you how random my brain is these days), it fucking dawned on me:
I respect the theorycrafting, but this feels like a solution in search of a problem. If Nick wanted to search Vinny's old room, why pick the night of the party to do it? That's the one time people actually go into the room. The place is empty the rest of the time because it's a complete sty. So he could have gone during the week and searched to his heart's content; if anyone bothers to ask him why he's there, he can say he was feeling nostalgic for Vinny.
In addition, if the mansion was 'wrecked' to hide Vinny ransacking the place... why didn't he find the box? Presumably he wouldn't waste time painting alphas everywhere until after he actually found what he was looking for, no? And wrecking the place must have taken a while since it was pretty thorough (aside from Nick's room, which ironically was the one place the damage was merely cosmetic).
Lastly, if both of those attempts failed to locate the puzzle box, why did they stop looking? Surely the next logical move would be for Nick to volunteer to help the MC clean his new room. It would be the ideal opportunity, and again if anyone bothered to wonder why, Nick could always use nostalgia as a cover. As an added bonus, there's good odds the MC would have given Nick the box outright if he asked for it, or even reminisced over Vinny having it.
Now I'll grant you that I might just be thinking about this more than DPC did; he does sometimes cheat to get the story where he wants it to be. But for now I'm inclined to think this theory is a bit too convoluted to be viable. It explains the actions we see, but not why we see those actions instead of other, more logical ones.
Quinn need’s cash she knows the DIKs have money in the safe. But she needs a distraction. Here’s the theory;
Camilla is banging Rusty - Mona is alone she thinks Cammy is probably banging some guy. John-Boy hears moaning out side Rusty’s room. He thinks someone is fucking in there.
Riona is outside the Library - She is feeling guilty about something. I think she is the one who grabs the laptop and posts the cluck whilst Rusty is balls deep.
The painting over the ‘fabled‘ DiK safe is partially removed. When MC asks Rusty he says it shouldn’t be like that and he’ll sort it out.
So Cammy bangs Rusty, while he has a face full of dat booty, Riona takes the laptop and gets ready to post the Cluck. Meanwhile Quinn follows Tommy out of the main party towards his, Jamie and Rusty’s room. Cluck get’s posted, Rusty run’s from his room searching for the missing laptop, Quinn sneaks into his room hoping to get into the safe.
It’s possible Tommy has some involvement, he previously had a conversation about taking responsibility for some HoT activity Quinn had planned. I’m not sure if exactly what was ever revealed.
Ugh, not this theory again. This makes absolutely no sense. Even if we grant that Quinn knows about the safe and wants to rob it and has the picture of Cathy at hand for just this purpose, how does posting the Cathy-cluck do anything but hinder her would-be robbery?
To post the cluck she needs access to the laptop, which is usually in Rusty's room - where the safe is. So Quinn has Camila distract Rusty so Riona can steal the laptop and post the cluck. Then the chaos that follows will cause Rusty to stop being distracted and start rigorously searching the mansion... along with everyone else at the party. Do you see the flaw in this strategy yet? I expect better plans from Quinn, and I'm one of her harshest critics when it comes to strategizing.
On top of that, there's also the fact we never heard Quinn bitching about how Camila and/or Riona fucked up her plan to get the money. Even if DPC wanted to hide Quinn's involvement, you'd expect her to show her displeasure when an offscreen plan failed. But Quinn was basically unperturbed the next day for the carwash or at the preps mansion.
There's also the fact that Quinn arranged for the HOTs to bail on the DIKs before she tried to rob them. When she talks to Riona in Episode 4 she says she has a plan, not multiple plans, and it's a bad one at that. When did she think of the second plan and why start both at the same time? Unless we think Quinn wanted to make the DIKs suffer (rather than them being collateral damage), it seems like one bad plan at a time would be more than enough.
Lastly, there's the meta problem that there's no way in hell DPC is going to tell us Camila had sex with a boy other than the MC. That dog will not hunt. Not in this game.
Has it ever been revealed who posted the naked Cathy cluck? I am on my second playthrough, and I have seen no mention of it.
If not, are there any theories about it?
As you can see, we don't know yet and we haven't settled on a theory. My new theory is that the Vixens were behind the cluck for reasons that will make sense after we actually meet them.
I started going after the redhead and ended up with the blue-haired one. My main playthrough of Being a DiK is Sage and we were just reintroduced to Zoey. I have a bad feeling
Next up I need to replay for Ilhares 's pfp girl, she is the best.
For whoever hasn't played Acting Lesson and especially if you haven't been spoiled like me, try it. Big recommend.
We all have our own taste, but I would strongly recommend against someone playing Acting Lessons unspoiled, at least unless they've been warned that there's *some* sort of Big Twist ahead. The game changes genres abruptly in the final act, and people who don't like the twist may well see it as a bait and switch. Going into AL unprepared will intensify the experience, but there are significant odds that will be a bad thing.
That's my advice anyway. Take it for what it's worth.
