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

[Elum Eno]

I'm was thinking that Maya's father arranged her to be living without a roommate to began with... it would explain how he got a key to the room.

But Josy being assigned to the room leaves a big gaping hole in that theory.
Some seem to forget that when Josy knocked on the door she had no idea it was going to be Maya that opened it.

 

[anonymoussposter]

I believe if Maya's father sees Josy the damage is done, he should recognize her

maybe in some ways it would be better if Mc pretend to be Josy's boyfriend, this maybe would reassure Maya's father more

this is more likely to be scenario and a start for separate plot for Josy path specially on DIK affinity

Alright forget dating and everything else relationship wise. The girl I would most like to fuck is Sage hands down hottest most outrageously sexy girl in the game. (I mean all of them are hot, datable and fuckable but this one ✔ all boxes) if we ranked them as datable she would be close to the top.

 

[Elum Eno]

Yes the perfumed undergarments do pose a difficulty in assisting to explain all this, but I can't fucking answer everything!

I'm sure DPC would never write something into the story just to through us all off the scent. IJS

 

[lemonfreak]

It's not impossible, but by the same reasoning we could make a case for Sarah.

Yes and if people were saying it can't possibly be Sarah based on her being in the gym during the phonecall I would make the exact same arguement

Thing is, I don't care that much, it's not like learning the identity of Chad's side piece will have a major effect on the overall story.

 

[Gladheim]

This song would be perfect in this game, the problem is copyright, but it would look incredibly good. If one day I find a suitable scene, maybe I will edit it with the song

I do have a thing for red heads... being one will make me over look a lot of other boxes.
I'm hoping that we see more of the redhead that checked out the MC outside the clubs... have we ever figured out who she is?

I said Sarah the same way I could have said Arieth. We know they know something, but that's pretty much it. We have more evidence aganist Mel than for her.

This is what i'm looking forward!

My guess is that if Maya, Josy, and MC get surprised by Maya's Father then Maya is just going to blurt out that MC is her boyfriend, putting him on the spot and adding a further complication to his other relationship's. It may even be a Major choice.

While I agree with your theory about DPC intentionally writing Maya as unlikable, I also note that he always shield's her from another character unloading on her over her shit. So no choice to help her or not without that extra guilt of revealing her right in front of her Father.

If DPC were "intentionally writing Maya as unlikeable", then why is it that people like her? Quinn has a lot of fans too, yet she's got so much going on with her that should definitely be seen as "unlikeable".

None of the girls are written as "unlikeable", they're written with flaws and weaknesses which is what people have, but there's something for people to like with all of them, and that includes Maya and Quinn.

Storywise, yes I agree. But I'm talking about the way DPC would write it. How much flack do you think he has received in forum's over constantly throwing the MC together with M&J? And given the way he has reacted to criticism in the past, this would be classic DPC. I'm imagining this to be the episode 7 opening scene, then the rest of the episode MC deals with the fallout of being Maya's 'boyfriend'

How much do you think DPC doesn't care? He's immune to criticism, or at least silences it, so if M&J have to be a feature of the MC's life even if he's not involved with them anymore, then what's they're going to be.

I do have a thing for red heads... being one will make me over look a lot of other boxes.

if MC will be the fake boyfriend of any of the two girls (who are just his friends) it will be a disaster from the point of view of the storm of hate, then it always depends on how it is written, but I would say justified

in this case, the preference expressed to Derek must be taken into account. because if he is the fake boy of his chosen one, the story must go one way, if the other must necessarily vary with a path of jealousy.

I don't like it philosophically as a solution, passing homosexuality (bisexuality if Maya decides in the meantime) as something to hide is a 90s movie stuff

there are people who believe COVID is related to 5g antennas, there may be people who like Maya's behavior (Maya's character is a different thing)

this is more likely to be scenario and a start for separate plot for Josy path specially on DIK affinity

i think so, it is a solution that I do not like but if it led to that I would like it

Nope... not Leah from AL.
I know that was a theory but not even remotely close in looks.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Well, since these are essentially different worlds, I guess this the BaDIK universe's version of Leah.

Also, she's not that different. This is probably like an updated model of Leah and what she would look like if DPC were making AL now.

Huh???? What the fuck??? New stupidest therory ever

Not sure what decade you are living in but it is still very much something that is hidden from family... especially so called religious ones.

Yeah, I think a lot of people believe that hiding your sexuality, particularly in Westernised countries, stopped happening after the year 2000. I mean, just look at sports. Statistically speaking, there's a 0% chance that every NFL player is straight, but we don't know of any openly gay NFL players because, even in today's society, you can't be gay and play football.

I'm imagining this to be the episode 7 opening scene, then the rest of the episode MC deals with the fallout of being Maya's 'boyfriend'

The fake boyfriend is a classic trope, but I don't think this situation is in a position to leverage it. There are two main issues.

First is that the usual use of the trope is to force two people who don't like each other to spend a lot of intimate time together. In this case, Maya and the MC are already close friends at worst and an unofficial couple at best. The act really wouldn't be that big a deal for the characters. (Indeed, it's far more likely to be a problem for players who are sick of Maya, which is a terrible situation.) I'm skeptical it would matter to Josy, either, since she would understand the reason and it's not like she couldn't see Maya and the MC anymore.

Which brings us to the second problem: the only person the ruse needs to fool is Maya's dad, and he's almost never around. So for the vast majority of the time, the MC and Maya wouldn't even need to bother acting. After all, nearly everyone at B&R has seen Maya and Josy together, and the two share several classes. If Maya's dad puts even the smallest effort into investigating Maya's daily actions, he'll learn the truth long before characters like Jill could catch wind that the MC is supposedly dating Maya now. So unless we believe that Maya's dad will not investigate what Maya has been doing recently but will (somehow) stay on campus chaperoning Maya around for weeks on end, it's not clear how the act would last longer than a single scene (at least in this episode).

In short, if the MC does pretend to be Maya's boyfriend, I think it will only be a small part of a larger subplot. It just doesn't fit the situation well enough to be a subplot on its own.
