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

[Crusader of Romance]

The big plot hole in Nora's story is that the app gives you an idea of how near the other person is and she couldn't figure out that Distance + Age = B&R student. A doctor didn't realise that a guy, who was of an age typical of college students and living at the same distance as the college she teaches classes for, might be a student at that college and turn up in her class. This lack of deductive reasoning leads me to believe that B&R must be hiring people for their looks and thus there should be at least a dozen sexy female teachers on the payroll.

Not necessarily. If it's a big city there are most likely other colleges. And considering how many go to that school, the chances it would be a future student of hers is very slim. A US university have an average of 6500 students. The average Student–teacher ratio in the US is 18-to-1, meaning she proberbly teaches 2 classes max. Let's say she has 20 per semester, 40 students in total in a year. That's 0.6% chance that he would end up in her class. Add all other colleges in the city area and it becomes much less likely.

that is why I said we might see it in an epilogue, because the game wont be goes beyond Sage's graduation, than let her be removed from the game, replaced by an another Main girl, and MC start his second semester.
and may be the president might be voted for candidates by the members. But only in the next Year, what the game won't be delivering in to.

But it has already been decided that Quinn will take over and there is a year of training first, so if Quinn goes, they will need a replacement asap. Why would they suddenly decide to just leave it to next year and have an unprepared new President?

Perhaps because she is/was? with Tommy and so would know about the drugs that Quinn is selling behind Sage's back. Then again I don't think Sage is in the dark about the drugs, only about Quinn trying to expand things and the "restaurant".

Sage might no about them smoking weed but I'm sure she has no idea about them selling drugs, especially the heavier kind. Also, didn't she mention once that she was against drugs or am I remembering wrong?

Come'n man... She looks stunning in that dress!

Fun fact: DPC have said that this scene was one of the hardest to animate and took a lot longer than it should have because of that. He wasn't really satisfied with the end result either but felt he didn't have time to work on it more.

The suspension of disbelief is thrown out of the window so to speak, right in the first episode,When Dawe attack a Teacher, and he still in the school not to mention he is the President of the Alphas currently.

True. Not sure how he got away with that. Maybe the teachers don't have much to say. The scene was most likely to show that the school was a mess and a comment about how students have lost respect for teachers since the teachers can't do anything at the risk of getting sued. Maybe it's not as common thing in the US but it's talk about a lot here in Sweden.
And we also don't know who Dawe's parents are. There are theories that his parents are powerful because he gets aways with so much.

Wait, Heather is not involved in "the Restaurant", is she?

Nope.

Lily is a stripper at the Pink Rose which is not illegal. Sometimes she breaks the rules and has sex with customers, but she's not one of Quinn's girls.

I thought she was. You have to pay her in Episode 5 but maybe that's her stripper charge? Thinking about it, she doesn't ask for money any other time after that. But she partnered up with Quinn and does sell drugs so that would be a risk.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

The drugs.

Is she really involved in that?

I'd imagine that if Sage (or someone else) catches Quinn she'll know about everyone else too. How would she only know about Quinn?

It depends on how it happens.

It's just my impression, but I've got this feeling that HOT's crisis is actually going to happen sooner rather than later. Major plot point in Season 4. The rule of not turning on each other is going to be pushed to the limit.

I also think it will happen soon. DPC said season 4 would not be a usual season and be about endings. So I kinda expect all major plot points reaching climax this season and season 4 be about the fallout.

Ep 10 isn't kind on many girls' hair if you ask me

To me Maya new look better then the old one

I agree with Rickthequick.

In Ep10 Maya's hairdo looks like italian singers in 1970...

 

[Ricthequick]

You're not wrong but it still annoys me that DPC makes it so that no one even hinted at it before. The way it plays out makes it a poorly conceived plot device. At least, if there were more scenes where other characters made allusions to it especially directly to the MC then it would feel more natural but nope we just get the moments with Jacob and Tommy then Quinn and Riona in the first season.

I mean there are VNs out there that make BADIK pale in comparison on this aspect.
I mean yes DPC doesn't make Tremolo look too smart at times, but he isn't (in example) being promoted and provided with corporate tricks by a total stranger without even wondering why this stranger is doing it... (sorry went a bit offtopic lol).

The point is nobody in-game feels the need to point it out because they all already know, or simply don;t care about the information, so maybe Tremolo being his smart self who only thinks about 1 thing:



Doesn't even stop to ponder it?

She wish she was 1/2 as hot as Patty!

EDIT

[Crusader of Romance]

One also needs to agree on what an happy ending would be?
Every person is different, Quinn's happy ending might not really look as such to someone like, let's say Jill.

Very true. Happy ending, in this case, means it could have been a lot worse and has a silver lining.

OK, it probably works for movies.
But I just know too well how it all happens.
I love Quinn so damn much. I would never wish her anything bad.
But I'm a realist. And sometimes I see what she's doing and I think, damn it, girl, what the fuck are you doing?!
This business is not for her. It hurts me to see her, a seemingly smart girl, doing stupid things.
When she couldn't resist Lily's offer, it was painful to see.
She has no support, no protection. What is she thinking?
Even if it's not Vinny, then someone else who does business in this neighborhood will definitely run into her in this.
And what will she do?
What will she do if several guys come up to her in the alley and say - You will pay us as much as we say.
She can't do anything. She's counting on Buddy, and that guy who hangs out in his kennel, Mick, I think.
But as it turned out, it was a stupid calculation on her part.
I'm annoyed that she doesn't see this, doesn't understand that she's alone, and no one needs her.
She's deceiving herself by thinking that she's badass. Unfortunately, in reality, such self-deception is very expensive.
It's the grave or jail.
For a young guy, going to jail at a young age is not too scary. That's ok. For some, it can even be a useful experience.
But for a girl, it's a broken fate. Female beauty is very fragile, like a flower.
In harsh conditions, this "flower" withers very quickly.
And after jail, they become of no use to anyone, except for some dregs of society.

Very true. I agree with you on this. That's why I earlier today said it was too late for her but you mentioned that her turning point could come in the next episode, so if it does, maybe she has a chance.

Why DPC gotta do Maya like that? It's not really a bad style just a bad style for her, she had an almost messy but sexy style before! This on top of the fact I kind of like Riona now when it sounds like pain is on the way with her(I'm behind everyone on this but chose to spoil myself). I really do think castrating Tybalt is the only thing that will make me feel better.

Our guy can barely see anything, he didn't even think to find out Sage's last name after hanging out with her for two months. Everyone around him knows the obvious.

It took a while but now we have turned reality upside down.

no one mentions it, not even that intrepid hero Jacob, not even Sage when she asks him to accompany her

but then exactly, if no one tells you, how are you supposed to guess someone's surname?

Ehm... Even if in Ep10 her hairdo is out of fashion by 54 years, I still prefer Maya

[Better Cock Spock]

Mister Spock, can you remind this crewmember when the date with Nora is and how to obtain it? I totally forgot its existence.

If you got Nora's number in Episode 8, she'll ask you on a date in Episode 10 while at the gym. Beware, it is mutually exclusive with Nicole's date, so if you're seeing both women you can only choose one.

Hold on. Something does not fit in your explanation. You criticize the lack of drama/character dumb comedy and underline your position with the example of a cat showing down a wine glass as an act of poor storytelling and then you do not connect the dots you just have presented to us?



This. I tend to agree with him.

If something (sensibel) gets damaged or ruined you have a strong sentimental or another kind personal bond with you get mad, sad or something else. This is indeed an act of drama. You complain about something and point something else out in the same sentence which actually contradicts your statement.

I do believe you that there a some poorly written places in the story and we surely can dispute about it all day but your example does not count in my opinion. Different personalities, experiences and views to certain topics distinguish us all and explains different opinions but tis doe not justifiy it. I do not mean i t as an attack. All i want to show it that this scene do not fit.

My issue is primarily with the cat manufacturing some drama.

Cats are assholes, but also it really was contrived, like DPC needed to inject drama into an otherwise great date and couldn't come up with anything better. It's also rather pointless when some actual drama comes in later, as they find out they are teacher and student.

I don't want dumb comedy drama. It's cheap and easy to have some friction arise by destroying sentimental possessions, I would be saying the same thing if Fluffy knocked over an antique vase that's been in Nora's family for generations. Or Fluffy knocked over her mother's urn. Fuck, it doesn't even have to be Fluffy, MC could've done it by accident by turning around and his boner knocks over the thing in question. Might as well be watching The Three Stooges.

Discovering they are teacher and student is still rather sitcom-y, but that's more legitimate drama. It results in a tough conversation and the dissolution of their relationship. And if Nora did get pregnant, that's even more drama down the road.

I will kink shame as much as I please. If you like feet you're a fucking weirdo.

I made this for you

Yeah my bad in the name, my mom used to love her, don't ask me why since of my 2 parents she wasn't even the Italian one.

Karamba forgive me but you really let me down, you're a total fraud! You should have supported Quinn's entrepreneurial spirit, appreciated her willingness to take risks by playing outside the box of the swampy bourgeois society. Instead you come out with the judgments of a retired man more suited to hanging out with God-fearing bigots than a mob queen who just needs a virile partner to give her support and encouragement.
Quinn, if you read this, know that I am ready to assist you in any criminal endeavour.

There are different types of intelligence. Just because he sucks at putting things together and seeing how it's connected, doesn't mean he's an idiot in everything. While it's weird that he doesn't know who Sage's parents are when everybody else seems to know (it doesn't help that she never uses her last name and uses Morgan), I can kinda relate to that. I have always been the last to find out things. But he has a much more social social life than I've ever had. I guess he simply doesn't listen to gossip and misses a lot because of that. He's not really into small talk.

Come on man don't be hard on the poor MC, he's just a victim of a classic writing problem. The protagonist and the other characters will only be as smart as their writer.

That university is miraculous, it can turn the stupidest people into machines of logic and common sense and in the next chapter they lose their capabilities.
