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

[Isaneclownposey]

It has been quite a while since I've frequented this thread, and all the nonsensical rambling was quite a shock to see. Not that I disapprove, but it has been quite jarring to see.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Lynette: "You came to me on my 18th birthday through a sweet woman named Marion-"
Lynette: "-L" (What if L stands not only for Lynette, but also for love?)

It stands for Lynette. It's clearly her sign-off when she finishes a diary entry.

That Marion is an older woman is also just an assumption you made out of thin air. I don't know if I would call an older woman cute.

As a native English speaker, let me tell you that referring to someone as "a sweet woman" sounds very much like a term of endearment for someone older than you. Given Lynette's age at the time, I'd wager this Marion would have been 30+.

With what certainty do you claim that M stands for Miranda?

Because it's right there in the dialogue if you follow it along:

Lynette: "Miranda said I could stay with her family. The tricky part will be hiding it from dad."
Lynette: "And when M's parents find out, they might be a problem too..."

What makes you think it's Miranda's guest house? It just says M, not Miranda.

Because, as per the previous dialogue quote, M does stand for Miranda.

I have not yet discarded my theory that Lynette is Jill's sister.

You should. DPC has made this abundantly clear by their "no incest" rule.

The questions are relevant when we learn, for example, Jill's mother's name, Rusty's mother's name, or can connect the name to another person. Serves to solve the mystery. (If you don't ask questions, you don't get answers).

But how does learning Lynette's mother's name help with that? That doesn't have any relation to learning the names of Jill and/or Rusty's mothers since they would be the same or siimlar age to Lynette if she were still alive.

I admit that this is all well written. That can also meet everything. I also assume that you have a great knowledge of the game.

What you wrote is all correct, but in the end you don't know if Josy had a grudge against Monica and Tommy from the beginning. And by know, I mean that there is no actual written proof of it. Josy has only said what the current state of affairs is.

Likewise, it is possible that anyone else could have been in a bigger city. But the fact is that DPC explicitly included it in Zoey's review. Is it proof? No. But the very fact that DPC included it gives it meaning. The joke is that if it were someone from a bigger city, it would make it irrelevant and DPC wouldn't have included it.

See the dilemma! We could both be right.

It's not an "explicitly included" line, it's just a line about a common thing for young people growing up; knowing an older person who can buy booze. The problem here, as I see it, is that you're looking at every line as being an explicit hint or clue to something greater when 9 times out of 10, they're just generic, throwaway lines that mean nothing or mean exactly what they say and nothing more.

There's nothing wrong with positing theories, but maybe take a step back once in a while and realise that not everything has a deeper meaning otherwise you start going down these Q-level rabbit holes of conspiracy and congruency when there's nothing there.

Feels like this thread should have the motto, "Welcome to the Being A DIK thread, where logic comes to die."

The worst bit is that I thought for sure we might get an update on Friday about beta testing like if its started or about to start.

Not being a native English speaker, I didn't know that. No problem, my mistake.

That the L stands for Lynette is clear. But what made me see more in it is the hyphen.

Then M will also be Miranda.

If it is Miranda's guest house, then Miranda becomes Josy's mother and my theory of the house near the forest, mountain and lake is back on track.

The Jill thing is not incest yet. As soon as MC and Jill do the horizontal tango, I will discard the Aunt Jill thing. Promise.

Camilla is the best..
beautiful, self-confident, apparently without skeletons in the closet .. fucks with whoever she likes .. plus she seems genuinely interested in the mc .. drunk Mona reveals that they both gave us a nice thought ..
if you don't want problems Camilla is the best ..

I totally agree! It's sad she isn't one of the game's LIs, but I guess it would not make sense as she is fucking with everyone.

 

[imcharliebrown]

Sarah would be a good in-between. No apparent baggage tho She likes to screw with mc like quinn does, but a lil more playful. (Tho it is possible there will be drama with her involvement in whatever mels doing as far as chad)

sarah is a bitch in the soul .. not to be trusted .. she makes you cuckold the moment you are fucking her ..
Camilla is a whole other class ..

 

[Warscared]

Even my girl Sage gave me a 3/5. I'm still salty af about that. MC apparently needs more training. But given his sex per day average, he should be able to level up before Halloween.

Speaking of which, someone reposted the Sage/Chad flashback scene and she was specifically talking about planning a Halloween party. That gives me hope. At least we know it's a thing at B&R. All we need to do now is reach that point in the school year before the games ends. I think we can do it by episode 12 to 15. I've said this before, but I hope costumes are campus-wide (to include all staff members too!). Bella can dig out her OMG Hawaiian girl outfit, Cathy can be Cruella, and Jade can be Catwoman in tight leather.

he should have just responded!

MC- 3/5 really? do i get an extra point for every HOT i banged tonight?
Sage - quivering voices "ok!"
MC - so 3/5 + the hots i came on tonight makes .... 9/5 nice i broke the scale! (Mel Sarah and Heather he did came over them so i count 3 in there)!

Yes, a 5/5 must be possible!

it is just refuse all other sexual advances so you are not spent when the Sage time comes!

By the way if this continues we should ask for a thread ban for Dalli the troll and Holy_bachus is caretaker that keeps feeding him!

enough i even stop posting here as regularly cause i can not keep up, neither with the amount of new posts or with the crazy!

at least interwined today was fun except for the NTR crowd that decided to show up... gezzz!

Yeah, if only Sage knew just how many HOT sisters MC tagged before he got to her!

No one getting thread banned. I hate that shit. If people don't like someone's theories then just put them on ignore. No snitching to get people removed.

Why does everybody assume that the MC do not know his own mother's full name? Because they do not mention it? Well, no one mentions Niel's or the MC's full name, but I'm pretty sure he knows it.

 

[Daxos89]

Somehow DPC seems to have something against last names. There are only a few that we know of.

Yes, I noticed. But, I think this is intetional to keep us guessing. Never the less mother's full name is something you know. I know that this is fiction, but so far the story did not trail off too far from reality. I would be dissapointed very much in DPC if it will be revealed that Lynette was part of either the B or the R family. That is just stupid. IMHO

 

[Daxos89]

A nice thought would be if MC belonged to a family even richer and more powerful than Burgmeister and Royce combined.
I would like to see the face of Tybalt then.

My MC would buy him all the melons. With prefab tiny holes of course.

Yes, I don't want MC to be a Burgmeister or Royce. A descendant of some other powerful family would be good...or just keep him as a commoner. Please don't follow the dogshit route of Rise of Skywalker where Rey has to be Palpatine/Skywalker.

I always thought DPC kept the last name out of it so the player could roleplay themselves in, but the more this story revolves around family heritage, the more likely and necessary it will be for DPC to assign and reveal a family name soon.

He doesn't have to. He knows her first name and that's enough, plus we know from what he says about Neil's waffling memories that the MC's pretty much given up asking for further details about his Mom.

Just about all games ignore surnames for characters, and this game is no different.

 

[Daxos89]

Have you also noticed that MC himself does not reveal his mother's first name to others except Neil. Shame on anyone who doesn't think that several people might know about Lynette.

It's not just the MC. Jill weirdly does not mention her sister's name in any conversation. The name avoiding between this 2 is getting too suspicious. I do not think the characters wants to keeps these names secret rather than DPC. It is getting too obvious so it should be resolved soon, possible in ep 7.
I suspect the name reveal will be tied to the next pages read from the diary. I think Jills's sister and Lynett were friends or at least knew eachother somewhat.

Serious question here:
In my country exist a "birth´s act", In which the data of the parents, doctors and the child must be included. Doesn't this exist in the USA?
Here is very important, because all other personal documentation is made with act´s information.

Birth certificates are a thing but I don't believe they have to contain exact details. I believe a person could easily put down the names of the parents as John and Jane Doe and get away with it, or even just put down a first name with no surname. Even then, Lynette's full name could be on the MC's birth certificate but it doesn't mean he's seen it or is even bothered about seeing it.

 

[sorco2003]

Birth certificates will also be available in the US.

Ok, then, if this certificate is made like in my country, the MC knows his mother´s full name, like a fact not like speculation, unless Neil has actually stolen the MC.
