VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Yellowie The Goldie]

It's definitely that way at the min, I think the whole Frat knows Tremolo is the guy, just like an unspoken truth

MC is respected by everyone at the frat for getting the mansion back in working order, not to mention that the parties are the bomb and even Tommy by episode 11 is having a really good time at the Panty Party.

Jacob, John Boy and Rusty from what I can tell have the highest opinion of him. Jamie and Leon have the second best and Tommy is either second best or third best depending if you're on Josy & Maya path or not. But generally, MC is well liked by the whole frat. It shows how Tommy stands up for MC during the argument with Nick, showing that he had his back even if he's usually a dick about it.

Also remember...Tommy asked MC to watch out for Josy during Halloween, not any other DIK. It showed the level of trust that he placed on MC, I doubt Tommy would've asked him if he didn't trust him that much. He would've asked Jacob, Rusty or maybe Leon instead.

Regardless, We will only know how much the next episode is going to add coming june next year... so yeah, we are pretty much screwed until them.

But I put most of the blame on how DPC made Vixens...who would guess that a 1 night episode would screw the time line? We should have had way more time than this. But there's no dice that he NEEDS to do spring break. It's not even a question, this has been getting hyped too long for it to not appear. I guess DPC is going to strech his agenda more than 16. I would make a giant ass epilogue just for the endings, no way people would be satisfied otherwise.

It might not even take the next episode, as I said the Q&A should be quite telling. If he comes back with a similar estimate.... Somethings may be nothing more than a quick mention in an on rails ending. If it's increased that's good news all round.

Regarding the later item, the accumulation of points blocks you from declaring love this Episode. We actually don't know yet if we'll get further opportunities.

That's true, although i have doubts if it's going to be a case. So far the game seems to only provide single opportunity to get onto any route and then multiple ways to fuck it up. E.g. if you picked a girl in Ep.8 when this was an option, MC is effectively blocked from establishing any further romantic rapport with others, and you're funneled based on your active branch.

In a way, that kind of makes sense. If MC is still flirting and fooling around a bit, perhaps he's not quite sure enough yet about his feelings to declare love.

That is a big presumption to make here regarding MC's behavior, that it's something he keeps doing. The MC might've very well picked a few points early on and then ceased this behavior altogether, but he'll still be penalized just as much as a Fuckface who keeps fucking around. That former scenario is why imo the thresholds for this "minor infraction" variable are tuned way too tight. And in any case, this should be really something left up for the player to decide, whether they want to declare their love or not. Regardless if they're being 100% honest about it.

It shows how Tommy stands up for MC during the argument with Nick, showing that he had his back even if he's usually a dick about it.

Micha proved something most suspected. The DIKs would have ceased to exist if the MC and Derek hadn't joined them. The world was going down in flames, the DIKs were almost punching each other and Rusty, the guy who was supposed to be the leader, was worried about convincing Micha to dump her boyfriend for him.

All the respect I had for Rusty went out the window after EP.11. The one who surprised me positively was Tommy who defended the MC against Nick regardless of how he felt about Tremolo. Mad Respect for Tommy. That attitude alone made me rethink a lot about how I may have misjudged Tommy. In fact, that was my paradigm shift.

Good job, DPC.

Go in Tommy's room to get a keg, then get the tap for the keg in Nick's room and go to the main party room. Can be done in any order, it does not matter if you get the keg or the tap first.

Yeah Tommy was great this episode, actually made me feel bad on my Snitch on him to bang Heather save, I punch Oscar on pretty much every run now
Even on the MJ path i'll take the sisterfucker nickname over not speaking to him at all, though even if you do punch Oscar he goes and gets a hit in himself
he's climbed up my DIK member rankings while Rusty fell down and Nick dropped off completely

Still a shame that Tommy didn't do the ultimate bro move and shared Gina with us.

He will, after you do the ultimate bro move and share your girlfriend with him.

Don't think he would like that on a run where my gf is Josy

Any other girl, sign me up!

Question is, Will Gina get any scene with us, she was interested to hear what Tiff had to say after we had a fun time but we get very little interaction with her

Go to his room and grab the keg and then grab the thingy on Nicks Bed

Yeah, I do share some of your concerns about multiple ways to fuck it up. Having one and only one perfect opportunity to declare your love is an AVN trope that I hope this AVN avoids. Taking too long in real life can make a partner think you aren't interested. But you usually at least get a window.

Hopefully there's additional opportunities in future episodes with higher thresholds that would allow a MC with just a few points from early on to make later declarations after "settling down" a bit more and not accumulating them further.

Btw, I think I edited my previous post after you responded. But I added this:

I do agree that having the choice removed from the player entirely is probably annoying. If it were me, I'd probably have kept the option, but changed how LIs respond, like "Well, then why are you still flirting with others?" or something.

So I don't disagree with you that having the option blocked entirely isn't great. He probably just did that to avoid even more branching though if I had to guess.

Good job, DPC.

Tommy's a loose cannon. Impulsive, reckless, emotional, hotheaded. But he's loyal and dedicated to the frat and there's no question that he would do anything for it. You know where you always stand with him, man isn't a snake or backstabber. As can be seen when he got REALLY mad with what you did with Josy on the J&M path.

It's why I like the guy, honestly. He's not as bad as some make him out to be. He's literally THE Massive DIK of the frat.

This reminds me I edited my RP to not get an ILY back from Sage, I am curious if MC in that save will notice that first, or will he get one back when he doesn't expect it?

My favorite Tommy quote since EP.11 is: "So many traitors among us..."

That quote from him sounded powerful. It's like it summed up Tommy's character in a few words, the guy has his flaws... but he's loyal as hell.

Except with his girlfriend

EDIT;
He's loyal as hell when it comes to the DIKs, fuck Heather.

 

[The Krogan Dude]

but he's loyal as hell.

[Chillout1984]

Well, they do have an open relationship.

He's untruthful towards her, not disloyal

 

[ffive]

Except with his girlfriend

And his drug dealers.

I hope he goes beyond 16
