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

[Lagunavii]

It seems silly to assume all 87 characters present will be named characters we already know. But, at the same time, it seems silly to assume the Alphas won't be represented in some fashion; even if none of them are invited, such an event seems prime for crashing, especially after Dawe has already declared that he's going to stop the DIKs and HOTs from partying for New Year's. Either Sage brokers a compromise where they all party together, or one frat is crashing the other's party. And based on the renders, it seems at the very least unlikely that the DIKs are crashing the Alpha party. There's just too much tasty drama for DPC to avoid having the frats clash during the party in some way.

Would we even get to 87 with every known character? We are at 53 with every known student group. We can push that up to 60 by adding Nick, Troy, Zoey, Jill, KRJ, Sally and Cinders (who don't seem to be in any group) you can add the pink rose Girls for 6 more, the facalty members gets you what 8 more including Cathy? Josy's parents, Jill's Parents and The Twins parents gets you 6 more (but a few of these are unlikely) and Jill's friend group including Bianca would get you a bit more.

We can definitely get to the numbers with known characters, but it's getting to the extremes, So I'm with you I think we probably going to get some new characters, but we still need groups who you wouldn't expect to be in a room together, such as the DIKs, Jocks and Preps to get the numbers. How the Jocks or preps get there is anyone's guess, but I suspect DPC wants them all in one area regardless for the fallout of Magnar's plan

Sage's compromise is that half the HOTs will party with the DIKs and the other half with the Alphas. In episode 11, 13 HOTs are shown. I think this is meant to ensure that there are only 12 HOTs left in episode 12, since Quinn has left college. Her suitcases were already packed, and since Riona's return has been confirmed, Quinn can't go back.

In episode 11, Sage tells Dawe that she can't forbid her girls from going to a party. The same applies to the New Year's Eve party. That's why Sage will also be at the Alpha party, because her presence officially marks the HOTs as part of the Alphas, even if not all HOTs will be there. Arieth's reason for being there is clear: It's because of Dawe. As we know, Melanie and Sarah are also friends with Chad, so they'll be there too.

Unlike in America, I can see a two-party solution working out; what I can't see is both of those parties being part of one freeroam.

Unless they're doing this middle school gym style, where both parties are being hosted in the same room with a big divider down the middle - a singularly stupid idea, given the history between the two frats - they'd have to be in separate buildings. So any freeroam event would have to logistically feature the MC running back and forth between two different parties to make this make sense; it's something we could do in the decorating one, since the HOT house is right nearby and there wasn't any sense of timeliness to it, but is anyone really expecting to do that during a New Year's party? Hell no.

If - and I can't stress this enough, if - there are two parties, one of them would likely just be us getting little glimpses of what's going on between events at the DIK party, similar to what we saw at Bella's house during the panty party. Only this time, I suspect we wouldn't be getting invited over. To me, it seems much more logical that it's just one party in an effort to force the DIKs and Alphas get along and learn to share, but only time will tell I suppose.

That's why I wrote it last time, so it could be branch-dependent. See the spoiler.

If DPC hadn't said it was a singular freeroam, I'd probably agree. But having multiple freeroams in the same time slot based on your choices doesn't make them the same freeroam. Like, we wouldn't consider you choosing to stay with Sage, Bella or Derek after Josy comes to B&R to all be the same freeroam, right? I think the idea has narrative merit, it simply doesn't fit what we've been told about the party.

 

[Kpyna]

I was thinking that there might be a switch for the party board. Either we have 8 representatives for all the groups, which would seem to fall short no matter what (four fraternities, one sorority, dormies and teachers only adding up to 7) or we move up to an 8x8 board with more than 8 people to please. Call it 15 it being just short of twice for 8 just as 64 is for 36.

Why the hell the MC have to plan party for any other rather than the DIKs and himself? I mean, the thing with % of happiness for DIKs and starting from the EP11, for MC himself, is quite a hint. There's no sense, time or space left to bring here other frats members or even groups of people (like teachers as you said). There's no way that the upcoming parties will be in the same format. So, there's no sense to please anybody except DIKs and MC. Even if we assume it could be done, then it's useless again, because 4-th Season is smaller or at least will have another style and format, and I don't expect more than 2 parties in the future. So the % of happiness for hypothetical groups or people suddenly introduced in EP12 is a useless thing to do, because player won't have a chance to make them 100% happy in the pair of remaining parties. I won't say it is an important thing to exclude such a possibility, but since this party planner stuff is a part of game for the "perfectionists" as well, so...

This statement makes no sense; the presence of other people in no way affects the party minigame. It wasn't just DIKs at Halloween. It wasn't just DIKs at Thanksgiving. It wasn't just DIKs at Christmas. Why would New Year's be any different?

DPC has announced that EP12 will have several free roam events. All we know is that he's currently working on the biggest free roam event. What if he's already finished the smaller one (ALPHA New Year's Eve Party)?

DPC does give us previews, that's true. But does it necessarily have to be a preview of what he's currently working on? No.

The best example is the trailers. In one, we see Josy wearing some really sexy lingerie. The whole thing takes place in a setting we can't definitively identify. Yes, the assumption is that it's in her room with her mother. But that's just a guess. We don't know for sure. Incidentally, I suspect it's so Josy is wearing the MC's Christmas present.

Ah, okay, I think I see what you're getting at now. That would be possible. I still think it'll be just one party, but I don't think doing it this way is impossible either. Certainly more feasible than the "you can do both the tournament and the faculty party in the same freeroam" theory.

You're right. But try making a DIK happy when the ALPHAs are at the party. Therefore, the Party Planner Game would be pointless.

Not necessarily; the DIKs were down in the dumps before Christmas because of the big fight. Doesn't mean they can't have a good time. It's not about making them truly happy with the situation, it's just about making them enjoy the party; at the end of the day, it follows as much logic as a college English class making students spell a bunch of words with an array of letters or a math class making students play Minesweeper: which is to say, none, the minigame is just there so the game isn't all about mashing buttons to get from choice to choice so you can screw whichever girl you like best.

uhh anyone know what recommend download site i should use? also, why tf Mega put limit on me. i havent use it for few weeks

The problem we've got at the moment. All of the groups hate each other. None perhaps more so than the DIKs and Alphas, but thanks to Magnar there's a lot of hate towards the DIKs there is no reason any of them should be in the same room together, yet all the information we have, would suggest they do.

You can't claim party planning won't allow it, cause you can turn it off

You can't claim MC will win the tournament and win favour with the jocks, because you don't even need to attend

You can't claim the facility party is happening in the same building as the tournament and you can somehow attend both because you don't even need to be there. Technically you can turn down both.

Granted 87 people is a lot of characters and I just can't see it happening without the Jocks and without the Hots, there's 20 people right there.

Would there be two parties in different places of the same building to allow the Hots to freely go between the DIKs and the Jocks? Possible, but it's equally likely that Given both groups want the Hots Sage just says you either have us together or not at all and we get a big celebration with everyone, getting all groups in the same room setting up a nice argument from Magnars interference as a season finale and cliffhanger for season 4

Remember we are either approaching or are in the End Game now. We need to be thinking less about what situations are likely and less likely given groups feelings towards each other but what are more likely to answer questions and close paths

What information suggests that DIKs and ALPHAs will be in the same room?

From your list, I only gathered that you couldn't otherwise imagine how 87 people could get together. Even that isn't information that confirms a party with both the ALPHAs and the DIKs.

Let me give you two guesses. One is that the MC will meet Miranda at the college Christmas party, and the other is that the MC might meet Viv during the fighting tournament.

Mega has a limit of 5 or 6 gigabytes per download. Even if you did not use it for so long it will still give you the same limit. You need to wait 12 hrs. or so to resume your download. Also for other site I think they use the same download tools such as mega, pixeldrain and gofile. If you want to download fast use torrent just use the search tool up above and you will find a torrent file here.

Incidentally, I suspect it's so Josy is wearing the MC's Christmas present.

That was actually my first thought, as well!
I don’t know if the MC is smart enough for pulling off such sexy gifts (and in the right size!) but it sure would be nice to complete Christmas with everyone.

I agree with you. But I don't think it's so that Maya, Josy, and the MC will spend Christmas together with their families.

I still think it's so that the MC picks up Josy after dropping Maya off at home. Josy is trying on the Christmas present when the MC arrives. The MC is pleased to see that Josy likes his Christmas present, and while Josy is changing or getting dressed again, the MC will have a conversation with Iris on the couch.

From your list, I only gathered that you couldn't otherwise imagine how 87 people could get together. Even that isn't information that confirms a party with both the ALPHAs and the DIKs.

Well if I could convince you of that information Dali, I'd be a better man than Blue Milk given he has been trying to explain that to you for a while - and I'll generally be repeating what he has said, but about 4 weeks ago, DPC said he was starting on creating environments for a massive freeroam with 87 people - why new environments. Well no where shown in a freeroam so far could really handle 87 people, but also its nice neutral ground, Not the DIKs house, Not the Hots, Not the Alphas etc etc - now added to that 87 people is a fucking lot of people and while yes, the Alphas only really make up 8 of them and can easily be replaced by new or lesser known characters - I dont think we are at the point of the game where its beneficial to introduce new characters. They will be known one way or another (now that still doesnt mean it HAS to be the Jocks) but we have an image of Mel, Sarah, Aerith, Chad and the MC in one room, with one character having a bottle of beer in hand and a Balloon sculpture in the back that has been seen in other pictures such as with Sage and Maya - these characters also seem to be in an environment that we havent seen before in a freeroam.

Now I understand that both Blue Milk and I could be clutching at straws here, and we can only say that MC, Sage, Maya, Mel, Sarah, Aerith and Chad are a fry cry from the 87 characters quoted and Chad being there does not equate to the jocks, but given the sheer number of people there, its not out of the question to think the Jocks wont be.

Let me give you two guesses. One is that the MC will meet Miranda at the college Christmas party, and the other is that the MC might meet Viv during the fighting tournament.

I don't understand why you think the Fighting tournament and the facility thing are important. DPC wouldn't allow us to meet characters that could be considered important as Viv or Miranda at two mutually exclusive events, which you, as a player, can bypass completely - remember you can say no to both events, going to either of them certainly isnt canon.

Episode 12 - Smoke and Fire

The year comes to an end, as does your first semester at B&R. The choices you have made, the divergent road you wander... Will you look at your journey the same after you have peered beneath the surface?

Being a DIK: Season 4 will be the final season that concludes the story. It will be released and sold separately as DLC.

 

[WolfmanBR]

It's not the same location though. We've been to the boxing gym already and that's not it in that shot with the very pregnant Arieth.

Yes, the MC trains at the gym, but even a small, local championship might need a larger space than a gym to accommodate not only the audience but also presenters, the team of fighters (in this case, the locker rooms near the gym would be more suitable depending on the number of fighters).

I don't remember the gym characters giving many details about the fighting championship other than the date, tough.

As for the HOTS/DIKS/ALPHAS triad... Sage is key. The MC has the chance to nudge her to ignore the agreement to spend New Year's Eve at the party with the ALPHAS. Maybe if we choose that option, she'll use the B&R gathering as neutral ground. Being president of a sorority and being a Burke can give her enough leverage to get away with that.

I'm anxious is to see the big revelation when everybody is reunited in the same place!!

I don't deny that 87 people is a lot. But we don't know, and DPC hasn't commented on it, so all the college factions can celebrate together.

At least you admit it, so you suspect it: Blue MilK is operating on a fact, and it's simply not true. The Alphas not only demonstrably destroyed the DIK Mansion, but they also presumably distributed pictures of Cathy on campus, which is why Cathy left the college. The Alphas have crossed lines, to say the least, that make forgiveness impossible. These are clues that shouldn't simply be ignored. We're playing BaDIK here, not Kumbaya Maya.

They're important because they will influence the MC's future. At the college Christmas party and the fighting tournament, the MC has the chance to showcase itself and stand out from the crowd. That opens up two paths for the MC's future. Music is DIK (Rebel) and MA (ALPHA). That leaves two possible paths. If he doesn't take either of those two paths, but he's doing well in college courses, he'll have the (NERD). If none of the three apply, we have the (PREP). Tommy described it well in EP5, so the Preps only had the privilege of shooting from a rich woman. Forgot what Cathy once said to the MC? He'll go his own way, only we as players determine that path.
