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

[dalli_x]

Replaying the game, I thought that dalli_x was really right about the fact that the guitar could have been stolen by the Diks. But I don't think their goal was to bring MС and Sage together, and everything is much simpler.

It always confused me why Tommy and the others were ready for MС's visit, it was as if they were waiting for him. He hadn't applied to join Diks, but for some reason, Quinn did an offer about restaurant to MC and she organize a shower prank. Apparently, the fact that MC immediately quarreled with Chad and openly molested Sage was the main reason to prepare MC for joining Diks.

As we remember, they had only three newcomers, Derek apparently immediately joined and told about MC. Sage said that a close friend gave her the guitar, it could have been Quinn, not Chad, as many thought. Maybe Tommy broke into MC's room, beat up Troy and took the guitar? He seemed to know about Troy's homosexuality, because Troy did not immediately tell, and just drove him away.


I really think that some of the side intrigues and riddles of the game will not be revealed, such as the intrigue of who stole the guitar MC. This is the beginning of the game, but I think Pink himself forgot about it. The problem with Cathy is too significant to ignore, and I hope that it will be revealed.

The real goal was to break up Chad and Sage, to break the tradition of Alphas and HOTs, so that the DIKs can party with the HOTs undisturbed. We find out in EP4.

Suddenly a newcomer comes along and messes with the top dog on the very first day. Something like that makes an impression and Jacob has seen it. Jacob tells Rusty and that's how Tommy found out about it. Jacob told Rusty, when the MC was in the DIK Mansion for the first time, that he told Rusty about the rookie. Ergo, the DIKs already knew about it. Quinn and Tommy realized the chance to break tradition without putting themselves in danger (Tommy is afraid of Chad). If it doesn't work they have a scapegoat right away in the MC Frischling.

How do the DIK know in which dorm is the MC then ? The reaction they have if you beat up Troy isn't faked. It's more that Tommy and Quinn have a deal for what to do with DIK pledger than focusing on MC because Derek did the same thing. For the restaurant it's more to see how the MC is but also because it gave easy/real sex scenes.
The scenario is more that Chad was going to see Troy to know more about who was the guy he was sharing a room, and 1 or 2 Alphas did see him or joined him and he had to punch Troy.

 

[dalli_x]

if it ended up being Quinn, or Vinnie, or Burke or the Jocks, that is, someone who is already known as a "villain," it wouldn't change much to know who is actually behind it

different if it was a surprise, in which case it would be important

what's the mystery about the guitar?

The guitar shows us a connection, because there is another guitar. It hangs on Tommy's wall and you only see it when the MC in EP2 doesn't go to Maya and stays at Sage's party instead.

But what's so special about it now? From Sage herself, we learn that Chad hasn't touched her in a long time and that Sage is a very sexual person. She has no problem having a fuck buddy. In the EP5 flashback, we see that Heather actually found Tommy repulsive and that Chad no longer wanted Sage in a sexual way. Who was watching this? Tommy and Rusty. I can very well imagine that Tommy, before he was with Heather, could have been Sage's fuck buddy. What makes me think of this is the MC's new haircut in EP8. The MC went straight from Isabella to Sage. Her reaction to the MC's new haircut was strange. Somehow she was surprised at first because she didn't recognize the MC and thought it was someone else. Who does the MC with the haircut look like? That's right, Tommy.

Tommy himself asks the MC in EP2 if he wants to fuck Sage. And why? The MC looks a lot like Tommy. Tommy can't fuck Sage anymore because he's with Heather. The HOT code. Ergo, the MC should take over because Tommy was once Sage's fuck buddy and the MC is the TYPE of Tommy that Sage likes.

The fact that DrPinkCake is raking in freaking millions (if you count in Steam and his other sources of revenue) is both good and bad for game development in general. Good, because it encourages developers to try their luck, and some of them are actually pretty good at it. Bad, because it encourages developers to try their luck who don't know what the fuck they are getting into.

We, as players, benefit as other good games come out. However, we are also faced with developers who abandon their games once they find out that they actually have to work at it, that it is costly in time and expenses, and that the money just doesn't roll in automatically.

I seem to recall that DPC got into this because he liked timestamps. So, like him, many will dabble just to try something new.

a theory based on someone else, a character who tended to be negative, who would have had an affair with an LI...

I would say it's an bulletproof theory, and .... which I'm sure you don't believe either

Thumb up to well made Casiope DIK Walkthrough.

Comparing EP2 to EPI makes you wonder what did him take so long. Its a much smaller episode but it was made for longer. Really makes you think what DPC spends money on. Not on his PC obviously.

dalli_x praising Tommy as some kind of genius

Yes, i think with the appearance of the MC at the DIKs, Tommy recognizes his potential and tries to use it to mess up with the Jocks. But i don't think he is smart enough to have a that clever plan, my bet goes to Quinn to be smarter than Tommy.

Fir Tommy the MC is a rival for Quinn's attention, given his reaction at the DIKs Hell Week summary. I'm sure, Tommy would like to have a (or another?) wild night with Quinn (as he is + to Heather), like Sage mentioned at the Preps party, he is there "for the ride". Maybe he saw the chance to fuck up the Jocks after the MC-Chad incident, therefore he took some actions to continue the frat war.

But i don't think Tommy ever had his hands on Sage, not cause he didn't wanted (or tried?) but cause Sage would have cut his balls of if he tried. Arieth is the written slut, so it wasn't hard for Tommy (or everybody else) to unlock her slip, Sage is way more out of his league. Like we learned in the library she is smarter than most people thought, even when MC isn't her fuck buddy, she is in his type and not that like Tommy is.

First, even DPC needs some time off creating BaDIK, if he is spending some money to relax i wouldn't care about (he SHOULD relax, so that he can focus when returning to work).

As often mentioned, Interlude is the connection to the new season, seems DPC took some time to improve his skills (there also was some technical failure as i remember), so i won't think too much about this. At least, it is DPC who sets the deadlines and we all are just to wait for him to finish and release the new episode.

So any news on Episode 9?

Don't forget that after Episode 8, DPC was busy porting Season 2 to Steam which created some holdup in the development time. He basically started working on the Interlude full-time in early January or so even though he had done some art, planning, and writing before that, but those served as the groundwork for the future

How do the DIK know in which dorm is the MC then ? The reaction they have if you beat up Troy isn't faked. It's more that Tommy and Quinn have a deal for what to do with DIK pledger than focusing on MC because Derek did the same thing. For the restaurant it's more to see how the MC is but also because it gave easy/real sex scenes.
The scenario is more that Chad was going to see Troy to know more about who was the guy he was sharing a room, and 1 or 2 Alphas did see him or joined him and he had to punch Troy.

In EP8, we learn why Troy was kicked out of the Alphas. He beat Dawe and Dawe couldn't eat properly for a while because his jaw hurt. Dawe himself said in EP8 that he has no chance of kicking Troy out of the gym. That means the Alphas have no physical chance against Troy until Caleb is there, and Chad won't beat his boyfriend.

This is a campus and it shouldn't be hard to figure out which dorm and room the MC lived in.

But something about Troy is strange, whether the MC beats Troy up or not. He seems to know the MC. The MC leaves very angry and Troy is scared. Again, it doesn't matter if the MC beat Troy up or not. I have a guess as to how Troy knows the MC. Take a look at the screenshots. Over the MC's right shoulder I suspect Tommy and over the left shoulder I suspect Troy.

Spoiler: Screenshots

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I suspect this is why Tommy is angry at the MC and acting like an asshole as a DIK father. Troy witnessed the whole thing and we learned in this flashback that Tommy's friends just watched and didn't help him. This could have been the reason for Tommy's hatred of the Alphas, because Troy didn't help him in high school. Tommy told Rusty in EP5 that he is much more athletic than him and that he was not accepted by the Alphas. The reason could have been Troy or Chad.

Because of this high school experience, Troy might be afraid of the MC and Tommy knows what the MC is capable of, which he then tells Quinn, who gets a stun gun when Maya rubs the MC's tail.

Tommy's fight against the MC has a very symbolic aspect. Tommy is afraid that he has mistaken a CHICK MC and is not the guy from high school. That's why Tommy attacks the MC. Stupidly, it's him.

MC is 12 years old: the MC gets his guitar. He loves music.
MC is 15 years old: The incident at the high school.
MC is 18 years old: He comes to B&R. MC can only play guitar for one guy. Troy.
(Not recommended. First, it is not in the official guide and second, MC should not become gay because otherwise he can only play guitar for girls and he loves music. Ergo, the MC plays his guitar for people he loves. In the best case Troy is then his brother and in the worst case MC becomes gay.)

MC 21 years old: Yes, there will be a 21 years old MC. And why? MC goes to college at 18 and Maya's calendar shows 2017. But in EP6 Maya's calendar shows 2020. funny, exactly 3 years. 18+3=21. i have a rough idea what could happen. But I'm not writing this yet because there are too few clues.

Sorry for being a little bit sarcastic, with a littlle reading of the past posts, there is no need for asking. The best sign the new Ep is out would be us discussing the new storyline DPC gave us then.

Well my bad but I aint gonna scroll through over 9600+ pages, its just easier to write up a question askig the active members of this thread. But thanks for the quick reply!

 

[Bendover885]

The guitar was a contrived way of getting the MC to agree to help Sage investigate Chad. I am not convinced that:

1. The DIKs knew the MC before meeting him after the guitar had been stolen.
2. The DIKs wanted to involve themselves in the Chad-Sage drama directly, and that MC is the best shot they have of breaking them up.
3. The guitar has any other significance outside the MC and Sage's friendship/relationship.

I don't see DPC doing 4D, underwater chess in his story-crafting. The guitar is a minute detail that was never explained well, and ended up serving as part of MC's introduction to Sage's path.

But hey, at least dalli_x can't accuse me of Jill bias here.
