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

[Deleted member 6546851]

Canadian here.

I don't have a picture of the ski trip event, but I remember laughing about how everyone was wearing downhill skis, and they're going cross-country skiing.

Your arms would be destroyed before you could even get up a hill. And then you wouldn't get up the hill and just fall back down. Hitting a ski trail is pretty standard and not that hard, even going downhill, unless it's steep. And I don't recall anyone teaching MC to snowplow or making a wedge to slow down.

You would expect DPC to know since he's Swedish and has probably skiid before.

I didn't betray Jill so you could give me blue balls and walk away

I'm planning a DIK affinity Throuple. What's the best path with major choices to ensure I don't get rejected at the ruined library?

 

[buggs]

The beginning happiness for each DIK is actually randomly picked between 35-45% at the start of Episode 9, but that's before any activity or other adjustments.

Yeah I realized after posting that that it changes more significantly than I thought. But there is always 4 with 50%. Basically you need everyone except Jacob, Derek, and Leon above 40% and you're good.

As for the Fulfilled Needs score, each fulfilled need gets 4*(-0.008*[Happiness]^2+1.8*[Happiness]) points, rounded. This means there's slight diminishing returns.

Nice, so Multiplier Madness would be even better if you can get everyone above 50%.

 

[MiltonPowers]

yup. that helped greatly with the mini game.
though i wished we had bios to tell us who those girls are

Doing so many paths, I didn't want to sit and think each time so I made that (But I did find after doing it a few times, I didn't need to use it).

I assume you're talking about Clara, Erin, Felicia & Leanne (I think all the others are in the Bios). Clara, Erin and Felicia have been coming to the DIKs parties for a while (you can see them all in the Halloween Party). Clara is also Jacob's regular FWB. Leanne appears to be a new favorite of some folks here (she does have nice eyes).

I wonder what DPC's level is for putting people into the Bios?

We have Patrick but no Helen. Stanley and Pete even make it in, but girls you can make out with (Felicia, Charlotte, Erin, Mia, Leanne) are not. Even Cindy/Yoga Girl who clearly has something developing isn't. I would have thought maybe a TG pic with a "who is that girl with the bluest eyes" comment.

Maybe he's just not putting much effort into the Bios anymore.

 

[rafaaa]

Oh, if it's in the Bio, you can just ignore it, (I changed the settings after that part, so they will stay there), it won't have any affect on the "I love you" scene, you can still get it. I promise you.

It worked now thanks. Do you have a save for Riona where we went to the date with her and had sex with her in BBQ party ( i think we have sex with her in there) and at the same time we accepted to help Quinn? Because on mine i didnt knew we need to help Quinn to have near the end of episode 11 something to message Riona.

In Cindy's case at least I bet he left her out for now to keep Cindy simping discussion flowing until 12

Well she isn't in the tri-betas because that is a fraternity, and Sally is decidedly not a member of the brotherhood.

But grades could be a reason to start to disassociate with her, and forcing her to party as a spy could also be a good reason for the grade slippage. I just didn't know if anything had been concretely said regarding the matter that I missed.

With regard for Sally's grades though, the impression I've had, and that seemingly was confirmed during her study session with FuckFace, is that she wasn't as "smart" as what would be the normal association with the stereotypical nerd faction. She certainly wants to be seen in that regard, but she either isn't straight A smart, or she has gotten complacent with her studies due to her association with the tri-betas. The tri-betas intelligence is also called into question though between Magnar's "study guides," the recent revelation of their subterfuge, and in a line from Sally that she doesn't have access to their papers (or something along those lines). Kind of points to them doing a lot of cheating.

That's semantics. She is basically part of their fraternity, much like Karen, but I think you got what I was meaning.
And I don't doubt that Sally is smart, what I think is happening is that she is getting too stressed out and this is also impacting her studies. Sally has anxiety problems much like Karen, but the meds she was getting from Quinn were also used for treating depression and she was looking into buying more of them, so who knows whats going on in her mind.

The nerds not sharing their papers with her is just another way of coercing her into helping them. Also, Magnar's grades are probably at the very top of the university, and as much as I want to diss the guy, he IS very smart. He himself said it to MC that one don't maintain the grades while partying. And if he was the mastermind behind the envelopes and Cathy's cluck and not just someone using him, this would also show that he is cunning and not just book smarts.

 

[Kodek]

it could be the reverse. Sally might have no idea about what the nerds are planning. And since she seems to be going to the DIK parties, maybe they think she won't be a part of what they're doing? That maybe she might tell the DIKs about their plans?

That's the thing, she has been at EVERY party in the game yet. I don't think there's been a party that she was not on yet, she was even at the DIK's Thanksgiving, why would she go to this one? And it would color me surprised if she was going to those parties just to enjoy herself, she does not strike me as that much of a party girl.

I just checked SteveyP's saves in the OP.

On the DIK Others Save - you went on date with Riona, had the lewd with Riona at the BBQ (and all the other Rio lewds), had all the Quinn lewds and helped Quinn too (and had a whole heap of other lewds as well). That's the one you want.

the party planer sucks theres not enough boxes to fill all the guys needs

It does not matter really. You can easily get the throuple DIK affinity. Just make sure to pick at least 3 of the major choices of each type before the throuple choice. I don't take Jade, Quinn's restaurant, Troy and I don't bully Steve, after that, just pick full DIK and it's golden.

 

[Kodek]

Yes. That's exactly the point, you need to plan it.

 

[ArmoredCascade]

anyone know how to freaking to the Christmas planner? its pissing game off to the point im about to drop the game

 

[ArmoredCascade]

i can only get a 4.5 multiplayer

 

[ArmoredCascade]

i just fucking went with it im not going to spend all freaking day trying to figure it out if it sucks it sucks

 

[BigTyson]

How do I get on the bianca path? I love Jill but damn that redhead does something to me

 

[Jacowboy]

Theres a slight possibility that Stephen was the Barren one and we've given her bigger boobs too (unlikely though)

men can't be "barren", that term only applies to vaginas... =P

infertile, or "shoots blanks"...

 

[Rehwyn]

You're not really supposed to and don't need to fill 4 needs with everyone. Aim for 3 needs for each DIK, try to never go below 2, and consider actually getting all 4 an uncommon bonus.

Check the layouts I linked below for examples of good ones.

So, I happen to really enjoy the Party Planner mini-game and have spent quite a bit of time trying to find good setups for every possible layout. I might eventually write up a guide at some point, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

In the meantime, since Episode 11 Xmas party planner seems to be the most challenging yet and I've seen quite a few people requesting setups, here's a collection of some that I've found for all the possible random grids in Episode 11. I managed to find at least one 6.5x for every grid, and some grids had options for higher multipliers (up to 7.25x for exactly one grid).

You must be registered to see the links

Hopefully some people find these helpful. If anyone knows of any better layouts, I'd love it if you shared it with me!

Its pretty easy to do, but you have to look out not to have dik affinity at the library scene... after that check you can go DIK score... and of course you need to do at least one major choice in fsvor of Josy or Maya (or precisely, you either need to fuck Josy in ep 2 or have the Maya lewd scene in ep3, so you have to help her with the list)

Dont know why you would want to do it in the first place though... a dik MC doesnt fit for Maya and Josy, though Josy can be a bit funny here and there, but only because she likes some mean prank-jokes doesnt make her a dik persona overall. And Maya doesnt fit to a dik MC at all... but you do you, as i said, its easy to do, but feels totally weird. I tried it once and never again... neutral feels a lot better, but chick is the most fitting for the two, especially considered that there are special scenes for chick, but not for dik.
