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

I know what you meant - for the most part I am in agreement, but you seem to miss what I meant.

Sage is not actually focusing on 'the one' single guy at a time, because she could have decided to cut off Chad the moment she felt attraction towards MC or anyone else, let alone at any time thereafter. Instead she clings on to her evidently mostly nominal relationship with Chad, finds it in her to go ballistic and vindictively investigate who his side bitch is - why isn't she walking? - while fucking her tingles away with MC coz its just sex and its not the same, slowly catching feelings in the process. That's her straddling two guys, in more ways than one. And it would fit that she does that precisely because it's out of her character - feeling attraction towards two men at the same time is the unexpected event in her story, a catalyst prompting her to make an unusual decision that leads her into an unforeseen and thrilling adventure.

Yeah, I didn't get that from your other post at all. I would agree with you except for that Sage isn't straddling two guys at the same time, because she's being ignored completely by one and she refuses to admit it. But I'm not sure if you say if she's acting out of character or not, but it's true that this is an unprecedented situation for her. My other point was that she doesn't seem like the kind of girl that when she's not in a commited relationship tries lots of men at the same time before choosing.

The fucking Karl Franz Quinn acting stupid left and right and blundering for no reason despite her calculating nature is lazy writing resorted to by DPC to get the plot where he needs it to go, not your english

Ok, but my english is pretty bad too.

She's straddling two guys simultaneously because she is torn between the two despite not fucking Chad and him ignoring and cheating on her - otherwise why persist and hope against hope on still being with him for whatever reason? It's her own attitude that is relevant here.

Heather has neither influence nor authority. Quinn on the other hand, already have her own inner circle. It's probably better for her to stay "the woman behind the woman" and let Sage being the public and friendly figure of the Hots while she's manoeuvring her drugs and prostitution stuff in the shadow. If she's exposed, she could try to depose Sage. Half of the HOTs already seem to be more loyal to her. Otherwise, it isn't in her best interest to make a move against Sage.

8 Hots,

Restauranteers = Quinn, Sarah, Melanie & Riona.

Leaves Sage, Heather (who seems ready to blame sage), Elena and Arieth.

Hello. So I submitted a ticket in the "general support" category saying this, "I recently found this game and I find it different from some other games that I have played but every time I'm at the part where I'm suppose to get ready for my date with Josy (first part), white page just cover the whole screen and I can't progress. I can use the phone and the skip button for the music and that's about it." But for some reason, my ticket was "resolved". So if you guys have any idea on what I should do to bypass this, I would greatly appreciate . The game update is 0.5.2

My theory with Sage is that she's simply hoping to have her life together by the time she graduates (If I remember correctly she's a senior). She might be one of those people who wants the to have "The One" and establish some type of white picket fence fantasy. Which would explain why she's been constantly hung up on Chad despite the shit he's been pulling. Her fucking around with the MC could just be a way for to fill the void (Not meant to be an innuendo lol) since she's been so adamant about just keeping their relationship as strictly fuck buddies. The final scene with them in episode 5 may hint at some type of romantic feelings, but right now I don't see a romantic endgame with the MC/Sage ship.

I was about to click like because I mostly agree with you and then I read the last sentence that seems to contradict everything else you said. If you think she is looking for "the one" why don't you don't see a romantic endgame with her?

I'm saying she sees that fantasy in Chad. Hence why I also said that may be the reason why she has been so adamant about not taking the relationship with MC into the feelings territory. Though I did say that their scene in episode 5 may hint at her having some feeling for MC, I don't think she'll be looking into it. If my theory is right, people like her wouldn't want to see their fantasy come into reality with someone who's just now starting college.

Keep in mind it's just a theory based off of the little content we've gotten.

Did you submit it on this site or to DPC? If DPC I know why and I will show you. If this site they don't control the game.

So your theory being that Chad is still her "One"? I am just trying to understand how the MC couldn't supposedly be her one just because he is just now starting college. They couldn't continue to make a life together while the MC finishes school? Please explain the "people like her" or explain the theory better.

I mostly agree with you, but if that's the lifestyle Sage is after (and it could pretty much be) I think she could still see that in someone younger.

Yup that's my theory. She obviously knows he's cheating but is still foolishly holding on to him.

Not much to understand here. A lot of people I know just don't want to start a life with someone that's at a different stage than they are. Like a lot of people going into college would have negative feelings about being in a relationship with a senior in high school. Even if that senior is 18, they feel weird about it lol

If you think that then that's fine haha we probably won't find out her true feeling until about 2 years from now so anything is possible at this point

However the Mc and Sage don't fit your theory. They are both in college, granted Sage has a year left and the MC might have 2-4 years left so they are pretty close. That would be like a Senior in college refusing to date a freshman in college. That one I don't see.

 

[lemonfreak]

2 weeks vs 3 years (maybe more, Sage and Chad could've been together since middle school for all we know)

If a girl was thinking of me as 'The One' after such amount of time I'd be looking at getting a restraining order.

But it does fit? She has a few months before she's outta there at best. The college freshman and high school senior thing was an example but it still applies in college too. I know many people including myself who wouldn't want a serious thing with a freshman at the tail end of my senior year. We don't know how long she's been with Chad, there may be some deep ass history there that's keeping her from packing her shit and leaving him and his glacier chin.

Well, some girls only date potential "The One", that doesn't mean she thinks it's the one from the very beginning .

It's not my theory Brotha. I'm not saying the MC is the one but to rule him out romantically doesn't fit. I'm not arguing the MC is the "one" I'm just saying that I'm pretty sure that Sage doesn't think Chad is "One" either.

 

[lemonfreak]

Sure, all I'm saying is that Sage, having been with Chad for a long time, isn't ready to break it off yet and therefore isn't consiously thinking of MC as a serious prospect (although she's clearly catching feelings)

We all know the 5 stages of grief, right now she's just beginning to move from anger to bargaining, imo.
