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

[BigBlueDude]

Fighting has been a recurring theme so far in BaDIK and since there was a discussion about if it would have consequences down the line, I started thinking about how the main girls would react to an MC who's not shy to square up and fistdance.

Pro

Quinn --> No explanation needed. Funny enough, I also see her as the kind of person, who, if someone she cares about gets attacked, would go off like a Honey badger who's PTSD just triggered and grab whatever is in range and beat the shit out of whoever the unlucky SoB is.

Josy --> Fits her personality like a glove, the Pro - Poster girl. Her only conflict resolution in the game is: Silence, Nutkick, and THEN tell him what he did wrong. On top of that, it's also her response of choice to violence itself, the MC's black eye, and the fact, that it wasnt even something that was done to her, speaks volumes too. It also wasnt an immediate respone, like one where you could blame a sudden impulse as a reaction, it was her choice all the way to use violence in response. So, that's a chick who prob gets medium/very moist when she sees her man being able to handle himself in a fight.

Neutral

Sage --> Beat the shit out of Chad, or well she tried, but other than that, her preferred method of conflict seems yelling really loud at someone. She also stops the MC from squaring up with Dawe and reacts calmly when Chad and the MC fought, so to me she is the prototype neutral, who can swing both ways.

Maya --> Not as clear cut as the rest. One could even make an argument for her slipping into the Contra category, but after looking at all we know, I think she fits the neutral category better, barely. Even though her own conflict resolution is to not confront, but rather find a way to elude the conflict altogether, we cant forget that she did bitchslap Quinn, so at the very least, she's no stranger to violent outbursts and she doesnt seem to regret it either.

Contra

Bella --> Too wise, too mature, too sophisticated and her saying is "There is always a choice", so she's firmly on the 'use your words' side of things.

Jill --> a.k.a Pacifist Spice. She's so much against it, that her friends eyes damn near pop out of her head, when the MC tells the story of their first encounter and mentions that Jill "yelled at someone", if even that is inconceiveable for her childhood friend, than fighting is definitely not in Jill's wheelhouse or on her approved activities list.

Minor add, if MC smash Tybalts face up during tennis shes not happy, I would say shes conflicted (some if it is on MC for riling him up). Bellas pissed off enough at the blackmailing wormy Tybalt to not hammer the MC though, then choose to look beyond it this time. Imagine if she wasnt angry at the worm... I think she would have grilled MC.

Aside from fighting (self/group defense mechanism) I think most of Diks Choice is spreading ur own seeds of destruction.

Especially when it comes to sex,we already seen in Cathy interrupt Bella's branch,we may have been hinted we could be plus 3 for Heather,Sarah dorm party lead to Tara,which might be Leon's potential LI as seen in the Dorm. So season 3 is where we will reap our consequences. I dont know if there will be any mechanic as DIK Chick in season 3 or not. But Fuckface might still be able to deviate from his affinity at some decisive moments.

Lastly I think only Sage the one we shd told about Chad and Troy. Since doing so would keep fraternities's Code consistent and not causing chaotic distrust.

Peace

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Chad&Troy thing will be explosive. Im very curious how that will be handled. Frat Code vs human decency vs responsibility to LI. On one hand you simply do not out people against their will. Thats very frowned upon. Its a big deal. On the other hand if you love someone then you shouldnt lie if they ask you, you could decide to not volunteer until they do ask.

So I have decided that Fuckface will only tell whatever his LI is, shouldn't lie to SO because that is wrong imo and Fuckface is generally a good person. If youre on M&J path you tell Josy because Fuckface shouldnt lie to LI but not Sage. If Dik and on Sage path tell Sage and not Josy. Meanwhile on my manwhore dik Fuckface have told everyone because drama . wooo party party
(In chick runs for completion Fuckface have told noone naturally)

It's funny, I was thinking how the age of the characters (mc included) works, as you guys have mentioned, as it's an experimental time for young adults, and hookup culture in college is so prevalent.

And then I was thinking how the mc gets away with being a manwhore, whereas we all hate Burke for wanting a piece of that same pie (and to be fair to Burke, while Jade may be awesome in the sack, she has a controlling personality and is probably a very difficult person to get along with - but is she a cunt because he's a cheater, or is he a cheater because she's a cunt ).

Then I thought how the game's entire tone would be so different if the mc were one of the teachers, and suddenly I realised that's exactly the premise for one of the games in my signature, and here's a hilarious exchange from that game that sums it all up: The mc knows what he is.

The jokes on that one write themselves.

Isn't it the assumption that Jade does what she does because Burke did it first and their marriage started to fall apart after that? There might/might not have been something with Cathy and we know Jade caught him banging one of the collage girls.

As for MC's "manwhore" "route" it works as long as he isn't in a serious relationship/looking for one. Otherwise he is in a world of pain never ending. Persona games "harem" route flashbacks.....

Burke has done 3 college girls and Cathy. And is now aiming for Bella.
Jade has only done MC.
Burke is +3.

I think Jade's gang bang with Derek, Jacob and MС at the Halloween party will allow Jade to come forward.

 

[den_tiger]

Burke and Cathy? it is not definitive in the story right and the drunk slip could just be a fantasy of Burke with no real action behind it, and Jade was only suspicious. personally I don't believe Cathy would do it.

I'll try to recheck but I think jade's and cathy's conversation at macallen's implied that

That's a tough one, isnt it ? I also dont ( wanna ) believe that Cathy had a roll in the hay with Burke, but it looks more likely than not. She semi fessed to it at the bar with Tommy.

Cathy "Why are you so mad with me?"
Jade "I'm not mad with you. I was upset, but I'm over it."
Cathy "I didn't know before going there."
Jade "I know and it doesn't matter. None of that matters now."
Cathy "You hate me."
Jade "I love you. And I'll support you, even though this is the worst thing that has happened in a very long time."

The assumption being, that when she said "I didn't know before going there.", is prob not in reference to a gym lockerroom. And then of course the "You hate me." follow up. It's not definite proof, but it strongly points towards it.

Probably Burke did what he's trying to do with Bella, invite for drinks, get her drunk and take advantage.

This is one of my worries though. If you dated Bella then rejected her at Ep8, would it leave her vulnerable enough for Burke to weasel his way in.

I highly doubt it, Bella seems like the most level-headed person in this game, she might hook up with someone else, but she clearly sees through that dude.

 

[TimHawk]

Jade did not catch Stephen Burke fucking a college girl and secondly it is not proven that Stephen Burke fucked a college girl at all.

This is what Stephen is accused of by Jade and he doesn't respond to it. What he really did with Mona during the preps party we don't know. Yes I know so that in EP6 Quinn mentioned something like that to Mona, but is Quinn 100% trustworthy?

What we do know is that Stephen cheated because that's what Jade tells us in EP4.

In a sense you are right, we dont get verbal confirmation, but we have to apply common sense here. If you're a college prof and your college prof wife just asked you if you fucked 3 students, then if you didnt, you'd probably jump out of your pants to deny it, but his response is silence and a look of defeat and guilt. So I believe for most people, its an 'Admission by silence'.

And then you have the fact, that his wife of many years, reads his face and in response starts throwing shit at him, so to her its a 'yes' and she would know, right ?

It's probably as good of a proof as you can get, other than him flat out saying it.

But what about the conversation Jade and Cathy have at the Milf bar?

 

[sixart]

I now expect the fivesome (orgy) scene to feature either Caramel, Sarah and her friends Christie, Kylie... or the Pink Rose girls Were Sarah and Mel said to have engaged in orgy before, somewhere in the game?

I'm down with that orgy... the horse fucks the wenches the wenches are pegging the faggots the Fuckface fucks the horse !

Milf bar

MILF BAR !?!?!

 

[TimHawk]

Man, it did add more weight to the suspicion; DPC was keeping it vague and left much to people's imaginations if dialogues were implying some "real actions", as they seemed more likely, the actions could range from touching and kissing to real fucking; since the conversation in gender study class happened just days before and Jade was unsure what was between the two till then. it is hard for me to accept that, Cathy, could withhold for years the reality that she fucked her bestie's husband while keeping hanging out with Jade (it's more about keeping secrets than the reality, I would say) the kind of behaviour only you-know-who is capable of in the game

It's in no way an excuse or a justification, I'm with you, if she did it, it's one giant no-no. But she does seem very lonely and in dire need of attention, and sadly any attention seems to do. She did know it was one of her students who she sexted with and she did give him head in her colleagues car, who just spent the night consoling her, so ... how about we agree on : She doesnt always make the best decisions ?

 

[sixart]

yeah, I agree with the part she is definitely not righteous or virtuous by sucking her student's DIK in her colleague's car other times she did seem like a genuine and decent person, to Rusty and other students, so betraying her bestie would be a giant leap and veto (for her character).

Anyhow... I still like cat

to me it doesn't seem very likely that in the aftermath of the worst day of Cathy's life, when she has now decided to leave, she would be arguing with her best/only friend about what would be her worst possible fault with her

I greet friends and console them in a different way

This thread is a delusional nightmare.

That's usually how alcohol works, Jade is even worried about how much Cathy already drank. And it's not Jade who brings it up, its Cathy. Jade even insta forgives her and then goes on to tell her she loves her and will have her back, so Jade gets 5 out of 5 stars for being an awesome friend imo.

always if they talk about that

there is not a word that is one that refers to sex, or Burke, or betrayal

And probably, like almost everything in Badik, we will never know the truth

Rio might be in contention. She and Quinn left the bathroom in the dorms and there were posts that said the person on the other side of the hole had the same clothing as Burke.

Of course it's not being said and intentionaly kept vague, but isnt that what we do here ? Puzzle pieces together to form a picture ?

One has to use common sense and its not like its all fabrication, Jade flat out tells the MC, that her husband cheated on her with Cathy and says she smelled her perfum and saw her lipstick color on him. Then we see a drunk Cathy stating "You hate me." and Jade forgiving her, so its not a stretch to assume that its related.

If that's what happened ? We dont know, and maybe like you said we never will, but that's what we got so far.
