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

[Roger-a-Dale]

I honestly doubt that. I don't think Burke's schemes are going to reach that sort of mortal danger threat.

There is someone bigger than him involved.

There is someone bigger than him involved.

Doubt that, honestly. Either Burke's the only cog in this machine and doing it all for himself or he's maybe pimped the girls out occasionally to other men in the local business community, but even then, I don't think any of them will be the murdering type.

Buddy and Vinny are the ones to be most worried about when it comes to the threat of violence and death.

 

[John Smith Jr.]

Hi,


This question has been on my mind for a while. Could one of you tech-savvy folks give me an estimate of the PC specifications DPC uses for rendering? I’m not in the field, and my skills in computer graphics are pretty much non-existent.


Many thanks!

J.

P.S. If I’m not mistaken, DPC has shared a NSW link. Does anyone have it?

Or, Stephen Burke is innocent and he divorces Jade because he has learned that she and her wayward son Tybalt are behind everything.

I'm with you on this one, Burke's just used his power to get his leg over with a few girls, pimp them out to his friends for his own pleasure really. The only thing I'm not sure on if it was always this way or he just caught quinn doing it and climbed aboard... If it was always this way, who was before Quinn and why hasn't it leaked thus far? If it was just Quinn, does he have anything over her given how easy he made her shut it down?

I think there's a couple fundamental misunderstandings here, but it's a fun topic to explore; much better than debating how many named characters we can bend over backwards to squeeze into a party they have no real reason to attend. So let's talk about it.

Overall, while I think Magnar is going to pull something sneaky at the party, I just can't see this being his absolute endgame. It's too early. There's far too many other plot threads hanging for him to be trying to clean up, which means that if he tries he's narratively guaranteed to fail which is uninteresting storytelling. And if the possibility of his success exists, then it's going to be a very delicate matter to balance the exact metrics by which the player beats or loses to him. So I'm not convinced this will be it.

Plan B: (My take on it)
1: Is that drugs and alcohol is served within the mansion, and on campus ground to Alpha's to boost their strength. and that an ex DiK (Vinny) is also selling it to students (Lilly).
Quinn is gonna have a fieldday explaining that.
We lied about it when a teacher comes to the door in respons to a concerned student (Magnar and his sidekick's doing, propably has proof to show it)
2: Quinn is pimping female's to students and faculty staff (Magnar propably has proof of that as well).

The hacked phones, laptop and camera in derek's room, are definately tools used to spy on everything and propably gave Magmar enough proof, plus all the proof from hacked phones we still don't know about just yet.

When presented said proof alpha's will be banned from the tournament and school grounds for using drugs.
Faculty staff using womans means alot of faculty staff will be fired, and propably someone Magnar knows will take over the faculty (His dad or uncle).
The only downside to that proof is that it becomes nation wide news and the school will be terminated permanently or placed under heavy supervision, something magnar is propably not expecting.

Propably some more stuff we havent considered is propably in plan B as well, but i can't think of anything else just yet.
Greetings Riggnarock.

With Burke, anything is possible. After all, he himself uses his position at the college for all sorts of illegal practices, just to get his way. Mona was a typical example of this to some extent.

 

[dalli_x]

Just a thought.

Have you ever considered that Magnar might not want to set the campus on fire, but rather save it? All the letters he's written have contained the truth.

This seems pretty far-fetched; so far, his goal has been to sow discord among the frats, not get them arrested. If that was his goal and he already had all this evidence, why bother with the blackmail? And, additionally, what about the preps? He says he wants to take them down too, but they don't partake in the drugs and don't seem to be aware of the prostitution. No, I suspect Magnar's scheme is going to be largely separate from both of these things.

We don't even know what Chad is supposed to do, only that he's being blackmailed. What if the blackmailer demands something in order for him to finally come out as gay?

Why would Magnar blackmail Chad with the threat of outing him if the point is to make him come out? That doesn't make any sense.

Also, why would Magnar care?

Ep 11 was named Paradigm Shift for a reason. What happened to Riona set the bar to a new level. Anything less than that would be anti-climactic. So unless Magnar's schemes lead to something of at least that level his story is just going to be pointless. And since he is not capable of that himself, someone who is must be involved.

Well I suppose another option would be simple chance. There's what Magnar is planning to do and then there is what it actually leads to. Basically his plan would get out of hand with much worse results than he intended. Like the NYE party venue being set on fire. Not that DPC would do that again. Right? Oh fuck, he is doing exactly that isn't he. "Smoke and Fire".

Fuck.

Magnar only wants to have the entire campus for himself and his fraternity. The only catch is that such a dream is unrealistic and in time he and his fraternity will pay the price.

And it could just be the “fireworks” (both metaphorically and the NYE show) that go off. Making it a sensational title, at best.

I think Magnar's intention is more likely to ensure that the connection is respected by the others.

just a though what if Cindy is part of plan b

 

[klas182]

Based on the conversation between Magnar and Ron, I doubt it. After all, Magnar himself claimed that once they got rid of the other fraternities, they would have the entire campus to themselves.

 

[amineab]

So pardon me, but I'm really confused here. Did he only start rendering in 4K from season 3 onward? He keeps talking about having to remaster seasons 1 and 2, which makes it sound like those weren't done in 4K originally. If that’s the case, wouldn’t rendering Season 3 in 4K slow him down because the render times would go up?
Wouldn’t it have been better to keep the same quality as Season 2 and just rely on better hardware for faster development? Or am I completely misunderstanding this?

I hope so. It would be so disappointing if he just reused that idea.

But I can't think of anything else that could go wrong with Magnar's plans that would meet the bar Riona set. So until I think of something better I'll stick with Stephen having a dangerous boss or client that Magnar ends up pissing off.

The thing with Cindy is interesting because she actively sees Sally trying to take credit for the main character's work. Sally's relationship with Magnar isn't good anymore.

Hey Magnar, he's the game master. Exaggeration is part of the game.
