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

So...the "Viv" in the Lynette flashbacks...is that Josy's mom?

 

[Lagunavii]

Burke had a deal with Quinn and the Finnman Banking. He was giving helped to the girls he fucked. This has nothing to do with Sage or Jade, it will have a way bigger impact than just them, because there can a LOT of girls that have been coasting because of this, Sarah and Mel for example, but also maybe Heather and other girls. And this won't come into play into the next episode in any way shape or form, this is something for the next season. Which once again adds to the story, this WILL have a big impact dude.

You misunderstood me about this, What I meant is if you are playing a strictly Bella path for example, you know practically nothing about this plot line, Obviously you quinn invites you to the restaurant that you can then shut down, you'll see the shit with mona and you'll see the shit with Maya before Quinn storms out of his office. Unless you are on the Sage path or filmed yourself fucking Jade, this one's not as big as people think it is.

if the story involving a character is dragged out for too long and becomes boring, eventually the character becomes boring too. then also because of DPC, who in my opinion adjusted the shot as he went along to solve the credibility problems he was creating, the problem became bigger and bigger until it seemed unbridgeable.

I'm sorry, but do people seriously think that he didn't plan the conclusion to this long in advance? You really think he didn't know what he was doing with this plot and then just made up a resolution on the fly? Because it seems to me the only people who think he was "creating problems for himself" were the people who thought it never made any sense and couldn't see a way out of it. Honestly, this was probably DPC's plan all along and just because none of you saw it resolving that way doesn't mean he didn't.

Secondly, especially the way it ended they all made fools of themselves, Maya first but also the others, for months (of play) behind a problem that in the end wasn't there. Maya and Josy practically from the beginning, MC when he was made a participant, but also Sage and then Jill and Bella who despite knowing that Maya doesn't have a loan in her name, because she can't have it (something that many players have said from the beginning, years and years ago), still needed to read the contract to establish it.

How did they "make fools of themselves"? Maya perceived the situation in a certain way because of what her Dad told her. She trusted him despite everything else because at the end of the day, she wanted to believe they could repair their relationship. Everybody else just had to go on her word over this and that's not being fools either it's just going by the information you have and knowledge you have with such things. Neither Maya, Josy, Derek, or the MC were well-versed enough to know what could really be going on here, it's only when they bring in Sage, Jill, and Bella that they get people who know more about this stuff to cast doubt on it and that's tremendously helpful in finally getting to the bottom of it. Nobody here is being made a fool of in the slighest.

and in the end it was all a bluff. to make matters even worse, even having found out about it is actually basically pointless, Patrick wouldn't do anything now anyway, Maya wouldn't even need the student loan. they just had to deal with Patrick. and instead they all embarked on a meaningless odissey, first the scavenger hunt (where they were supposed to give Maya the tuition fee for going through, not even always correctly but also cheating, stupid tests), then accepting Sage's help, then going after another tuition without giving Burke any real motivation other than that his daughter asked him to, etc etc...

This certainly did not benefit Maya's character

Who cares if it was a bluff? It was all just part of the overall story and drama of it. You think it got boring because of it, I say it would have been boring without it or if it had been resolved in like Ep 6. For those of us who gave a damn about this character, we were invested in helping her deal with and resolving this issue in whatever form that took and however long that took, because the resoution was honestly less important than the journey and I for one enjoyed that journey and was pleased the solution was what it was. Now I look forward to a new chapter for the throuple where they finally have the space to grow and develop as a relationship without the shadow of Patrick hanging over them anymore.

So...the "Viv" in the Lynette flashbacks...is that Josy's mom?

That would be Bianca's mom most probably
Edit: I confused them both, sorry. Miranda is Bianca's mom... maybe Viv is Carla's mom if she is going to be inserted in the plot?

 

[BigTTiger]

Are you DIK enough to not water her plants or paint her fence though
Surely you wouldn't blast the pancakes on High heat?

Nah i did all the nice bella stuff but i'm still dik haha

This will be for the campus and the story as whole. It's a big scandal of corruption after all.

 

[Chillout1984]

That does not matter in the end. MC never cared about being rich or about money. But this will get somewhat dramatic because of Rusty and how he and the MC are becoming closer friends. I'm going on about Rusty's dad being Lynette's older brother maybe, but as always, I will leave an open mind about this.

It would make the game ending a hell of a coincidence on a Jill route if MC is indeed a Burgmeister, ending up with a Burgmeister & Royce.

 

[Chillout1984]

That would be Bianca's mom most probably

No, Viv is the black haired. Miranda is suspected to be Bianca's mom.

It won't make a difference. With the only person tying MC to the Burgmeister family being dead, there's nothing really for Rusty & MC to get dramatic over. They already had a talk about MC being poor and Rusty comparing their rundown mansion as "feeling poor" kind of like an insult, which Rusty apologises for it since he'd never been in that kind of situation before.

It's literally a nothing burger. MC has had no contact with his grandfather since the day he was born, that grandfather is only a grandfather in name.

 

[Takkatakka]

That would be Bianca's mom most probably

No, that is probably Miranda, I mean the right one here:

 

[Lagunavii]

Sadly since Lynette and Neil never married and she died, Neil practically ended up giving MC his own surname due to being the father and only living parent. If she had lived, there's a chance that MC would've had the "Burgmeister" family name even if the grandfather would've disowned him and his own daughter.

This ones tricky because regardless of Marriage in the US it is the default choice of most to give the child the surname of the father - so it would be likely even if Lynette had lived the child would get Neils's last name. Obviously default choice doesn't mean that this would have happened in this case. but still

A

Sage kiss first

It's truth or dare and Josy did not even object when Sage kissed her and now Josy tries to seduce Sage

 

[Kodek]

No, Viv is the black haired. Miranda is suspected to be Bianca's mom.

Oh sorry, I confused them both. I don't know. Maybe Viv is Carla's mom?

 

[Blue Milk]

The problem is the fucker isn't too clear with his last episode count prediction in the Q&A. Now to me it's telling that he says he definitely needs 14, but it gets blurry after that and he's not stopping till the endings are what he wants - now I read this as he can end it at 14 but if the endings are not satisfactory he'll add other episodes. But I understand its open somewhat to interpretation it could well be what you just put he knows he needs 14 to get everything out of the way then he doesn't know how many he'll need there after to bring it home...

When he says that part about "blurry" I think he just means how to craft the conclusions and various epilogues, because he's always said he knows the major plot points of the game but I doubt he's really given much thought to what comes after the conclusion. So I guess he knows that all those major plot points and setup will take him until Ep 14, but what he does after that in terms of writinng the satisfactory endings is less certain. He may have some ideas about where characters will end up and how he'll tie off this story, but there probably not as prominent in his plans as the main story plot point setups.

So...the "Viv" in the Lynette flashbacks...is that Josy's mom?

Josy's Mom's name is Iris.

 

[Macky009]

That would be Bianca's mom most probably

Vivian is Carla's mom and Miranda is Bianca's mom probably

 

[Great asshole XD]

There's some good new dialogue in episode 10, the same goes for if you wanted to go for Maya only as well

bro...when the MC tells her

then MC goes like "i cant tell you to broke up with maya, it is something you gotta figure out on your own" and josy goes like :




this is the best love story in being a dik without doubt mates i already falled in love as player with josy since episode 1

 

[Takkatakka]

Josy's Mom's name is Iris.

kk, she just look rather similar.

 

[Toohat]

Universal Reny Py Mod - you just search for the mod that's causing you trouble and change it to the opposite value

Again...sorry for being retarded. Where?

 

[Blue Milk]

this is the best love story in being a dik without doubt mates i already falled in love as player with josy since episode 1

Good God, what are you smoking?

I dont deny that its a big scandal, But its one that Burke might have washed his hands of completely. Again unless you are on certain paths this ones gonna pop out of nowhere. We have the benefit of playing multiple paths so kind of understand whats going on in the background for characters, but as I said, if you have only played a Bella path and nothing else - there is no really hints at all to this - theres also no reason to it coming out.
