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

[Takkatakka]

Historically, fraternities and sororities are paired off. Some of those sororities were founded as women’s auxiliaries to the fraternities; some of them are technically still auxiliaries, and not full sororities. So they have to party together. It’s in their charters.

Sage even points out the HOTs aren’t actually allowed (in their charter) to throw parties. They do it anyway and call them “mixers.” That’s because the expectation is every party would be done in conjunction with the fraternity they associate with, and held at the frat house.

Apparently the Alphas and HOTs have this setup. Yes it’s bullshit, but they can’t just change it. They’d have to get alumni approval—the alumni help pay for everything, so they have a vote, and sometimes a veto—and some alumni refuse to change anything, cuz it’s tradition. The DIKs, in comparison, have only one alumnus, Vinny, who doesn’t pay for shit; and one sponsor, Rusty’s dad. They can do whatever the fuck they want.

All of that is just made-up speculation not really based on anything that is said during that talk outside of "we have traditions". At no point are finances part of that talk.

And they do change it in the end after all anyway, so all that is mute. DPC needs this "conflict" between the AAAs and DIK to keep going on with the HOTs standing between them, because that is needed for the rest of the story. So he contrives it too much instead of writing it believable.

It’s not based on the game; it’s based on real-life fraternities and sororities. I’m just explaining how it’d work if they really existed. DPC of course can make the AAAs and HOTs work however he wants.

Is that JUST Bella or are we secretly hoping for a Yoga Harem?

Bella first, before talk about harems.

You say that like it's a bad thing

I made a Carla signature to balance out the force (or something like that).

The thing is, if that was his idea behind it, he could have anyone of the parties talking about it. Like Sage could've said "we have rules that we have to check with our Alumnis" or whatever and that would've made the whole scene at least somewhat more believable.

OK, we can be friends again.

Sage touches on this when telling MC that Rusty lives in a bubble, way back in episode 5. Alumni and other donors help pay for the frats and sororities, on top of members paying dues.

Yay!

That had a completely different context. That was about paying for the repairs, not about who can party with whom.

Except the DIKs sole alumni is Vinny.

I only recently told Carla she was on the naughty list for the first time and cant believe I missed out on this

She's on the permanent naughty list now

Except for the one time at the dorm party when we pay her

Technically, if the MC tells Quinn Mel's his favorite we don't pay her...

 

[Better Cock Spock]

But you're wondering why there's traditions to follow instead of the HOTs being allowed to party with whomever they want: this is a reason why, alumni get a say because they pay for shit.

Do you count as an alumni if you walk out in disgrace though? Not trolling, genuine question. (Same may welll apply to Nick of course if he doesn't come back).

Why would alumnis even care with whom they party, especially if they really don't want to. That would be counterproductive for everybody and it is also not what is said in the scene.

Actually you're probably right. I don't know either, we don't have frats in Australia, but I'd guess if you don't graduate you probably wouldn't be almuni.

 

[alex13_zen]

Other than James, can anyone else plausibly show up at the end of ep 11? Given MC's and Bella's reactions?

It wasn't the front door buddy. Maya opened the door to the locked room.

Ah yeah, makes sense. Of course Nick probably will graduate, so I don't know where that puts him. We don't have frats here in the UK either so the whole frat situation is weird to me.
