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

[AchedCroissant]

be ready for a facepalm drive-by Cas

He already put it on his ignore list

 

[lemonfreak]

iyeah... must be that story i heard about a "friend of mine" having his porno mags stolen by his father after his mom discovered them...

Of course the story is about 'a friend', I don't drink tea so my dad wouldn't have been bringing me a cup and why would I fictionalise just that detail

 

[Holy Bacchus]

What was the motivation for that?

To not have to give in to her Dad's ultimatum because she'd have another tuition source, obviously.

Did she want to become their friend?

Did the MC want to become friends with the DIKs? No, but he has now that he's gotten to know them, and Maya could have easily ended up becoming friends with some of the HOTs after she got to know them.

Was she interested in them as human beings?

Did she admire the sorority and dream of being part of it?

Doesn't matter.

Did she seek to expand her social contacts?

Wouldn't that be considered "using" them if she just wanted to social climb?

A Chick MC would avoid Quinn like the plague, that's why the mod should never have fucked with that scene.

If your mc never fucked Quinn in that rain scene, do you think you'd still have the same concern for her? Just curious.

A CHICK MC would because even if you disagree with what Quinn is doing, it's very much a CHICK action to want to help someone in need. Also, whether you fucked her or not doesn't matter because you don't have to have had sex with someone to be concerned for their wellbeing.

Ummm, I don't know what your lawyer friends told you, but joining a sorority for the financial benefits is actually legal in all 50 states.

And again, you are assuming her intent DESPITE HAVING NO ACTUAL PROOF! If Maya let Quinn know she was joining for the money from the get go, then there is literally no problem here. None. Zero. Zilch. It wouldn't be manipulative, it wouldn't be sinful, it wouldn't even be inappropriate!

But even if Maya never brought it up until the pool scene (which I doubt), that STILL doesn't make Maya a manipulator because she was simply taking advantage of an opportunity Quinn chose to provide. If Quinn believed sisterhood, networking or sorority life was such a sacred responsibility for any HOT, she could have made Maya spend time with the other HOTs to see how she fit in instead of making her grind on the MC and scavenge for sex acts. Quinn didn't, because she doesn't give a rat's ass about any of the crap you think should matter. So why should Maya?

Your personal distaste for Maya doesn't somehow make it inappropriate for Maya to do things. If you insist on believing Maya lied like a rug for Quinn to give her shot at the HOTs, knock yourself out. But stop trying to browbeat people into accepting your own personal head canon.

So who's using, lying, and just all round being naughty, in the world of Being a DIK:

• The MC: He's fucking every girl he gets a chance to, but he's open about it (to the extent that the girls he's with know he's seeing other girls, not quite sure is people like Jill get the full picture though...)
• Arieth: She's the female MC, except she's in a relationship with Dawe and is fucking everyone behind his back. She's the biggest cheater in the game but there's nothing but love for her from the fanbase.
• Ashley: Never told Derek about her encounter with the MC, Derek is hurt when he finds out the truth.
• Camila: She's a prostitute, that's probably illegal within the game's setting.
• Cathy: She's starting a relationship with a student for her own gratification. She's using the MC. Even if the MC is a willing participant, Cathy is in a position of authority and would take more responsibility for this indiscretion.
• Chad: He's lying to his bros about his true self, not wanting to expose his sexual identity, and worse, he's been lying to Sage about it too, using her as a shield to deflect any suspicions. He's also using steroids to cheat in the upcoming tournament.
• Dany: She lied to Jamie, telling him she was pregnant to try to control him
• Dawe: As a bare minimum he's using performance enhancing drugs.
• Bella: Just ask her, she's cheating on her husband, she's cheating on Jill (in that she's fooling around with a guy her best friend is interested in), she's having a sexual relationship with a student.
• Derek: Selling answers to school assessments, vandalizing prep property (the whole awesome sprinkler scene), making his friend hold a smelly fish because he doesn't like him touching his sister... Not sure you can say he cheated on Ashley, it's not like they were in a serious relationship...
• Heather: Just drugs, nothing else.
• Jade: She's cheating on her husband, with a student no less.
• Jamie: He's cheating on Dany (fucking Arieth)
• Josy: She cheated on Maya with the MC, although she told the MC she was in a relationship, that doesn't change what she did to Maya.
• Maya: She cheated on Josy and didn't tell the MC she was already in a relationship. I'm not buying into the whole, "She's using the HOTS" though... The HOTs are a cesspool of corruption, so fuck them, if they are prepared to pay her tuition, that's on them. Obviously she didn't know the criteria for the full tuition, that's her problem (what, she couldn't just ask Quinn outright?)
• Mel: She's a prostitute, that's probably illegal within the game's setting.
• Mona: I'm gonna give her a pass, although she entertained the idea of prostitution, I don't think she sealed the deal, at least not with Burke...
• Nick: He's shifty as fuck. I'm pretty sure he's hiding things from the DIKs and he's somewhat involved with the mansion trashing and the Cathy Cluck... I think he also lied about fucking Arieth.
• Stephen Burke: He's cheating on his wife all over the place, with students no less. It looks like he's involved in some illegal prostitute ring at the college, facilitating the bogus scholarships as a minimum, possible the King Pin of the whole sordid situation.
• Quinn: She's doing drugs, coercing girls into prostitution, manipulating people for her own pleasure, selling drugs, and basically all round being a cunt. But we love her for it! Oh yeah, she's even watering down the drugs she's selling Dawe to turn a better profit. What a fucking crook. You know what, I think my MC has already fucked her enough, if she dies in this game, that's on her...
• Riona: Prostitution and doing drugs.
• Sage: Cheated on Chad with the MC.
• Sally: Doing drugs is about all, and not even illegal drugs, just prescription shit, so not really a bad rap sheet, although, she did murder Tybalt in the library that time...
• Sarah: She's a prostitute, same as Mel.
• Tommy: Doing drugs, but he's not a liar or cheater, Heather seems to be aware of all his dealings.
• Tybalt: Lying to Jill about things to manipulate her to be with him (particularly the events of the prep mansion exodus, but lies all the fucking time trying to make himself look good)...

So all in all, the cast is filled with lying, cheating, drug using, prostitutes. So to single Maya out all the time, a girl whose life has been derailed by her own sexuality and her father's reaction to it, is just unfair.

The HOTs are not really her kind of people, but in her current situation she feels she's run out of options, so she's taking the plunge.

Sure Maya's naive, bordering on stupid, but fuck me I wouldn't want to be in her situation, a situation so many people find themselves in (not the whole trying to join a sorority for free tuition situation, but the whole parents not accepting your sexuality type situation), even in this more tolerant world today.

If the HOTs didn't want her, they could have just rejected her, but Quinn, in her infinite cuntness, decided to fuck with her some more. Suck shit Quinn, it backfired, too bad Maya didn't break your fucking rat faced nose (I'd still fuck her, Quinn that is, Maya too actually, you know what, put me down for a threesome).

All in all, Maya's transgressions are not founded from malice, she's just trying to survive.

Epic mic drop moments, brought to you by ename144 and shazba. DavDR doesn't know when he's beat.

So you would be OK with someone who despises you coming to live in your home, pretending to be your friend, and living there just for the financial benefits?

"Despises" them? Why do you always have to keep exaggerating things to fit with your hate-filled head-canon? She never said that nor ever really gave that impression. She just parroted a derisive label about them all being "sluts" because that's probably the common rumour around campus, but this doesn't equate to Maya "despising" them, not by a long shot. It might have amounted to her having a slightly low opinion of them, but then the MC had a low opinion of the DIKs after they pranked him in Ep 1 and he wasn't keen to join them either, but once he started getting involved his opinion and attitude changed and it could easily have been the same with Maya.

How things started matter little compared to what they become, in this case. People can start off not liking each other but then become friends later once they get to know each other, and when that happens, it doesn't matter for shit what things were like in the beginning and what they thought of each other at first.

But I reckon you're right to some degree, Quinn worked out Maya's angle from the very beginning. She's not HOT material; she just wants the free tuition.

I don't think Quinn knew that. Quinn was like a lion in the Serengeti spotting a weak gazelle; this timid, shy girl comes up to her and asks about joining the HOTs and Quinn sees a perfect opportunity to mess with someone. She just saw someone she wanted to humiliate and degrade for her own amusement. At the pool scene, she does make it clear she's aware Maya knows of the rumour, but she also addresses Mona too, so she knows both of them have heard the rumour.



Then when Quinn asks if they're interested, Mona is very enthusiastic and agrees without a second thought whereas Maya actually asks the important question.



From this, I can't see how Quinn would think or even somehow know why Maya wants to join the HOTs because she isn't exactly making it very clear that this is her motivation.

Also, maybe she's just got a thing against blondes because Ashley is just as timid and shy but Quinn doesn't seem to mess with her in the same way.

When the new update rolls out will the saves from walkthrough mod work or will it bug out?

 

[Deleted member 3313072]

Probably bug out. I just redid the whole damn game to fix a glitch the mod caused. Was not easy, was not fun, but it's safer.

 

[Deleted member 3313072]

You could uninstall the game, remove the folder, and reinstall without the mod and hope the save works.

 

[lemonfreak]

When the new update rolls out will the saves from walkthrough mod work or will it bug out?

It often depends at which point you're trying to pick up from, let's say that, in the new folder with no mod installed, you attempt to continue using your modded save that was before the Jill date, that could potentially bug out because you're now replaying scenes you already saw with the mod.

The mod is usually out within 24 hours of the game being leaked though so it's hardly a major concern.

 

[Deleted member 3313072]

That too. But sure as shit I don't trust it anymore. Better to do things right, with a PDF or chance it yourself.

 

[Dr. Psychedelic]

don'

using modded saves in a clean game bugs it in most cases
don't worry the mod comes out quickly all you gotta do is
wait for the mod to come out after update rolls out.
Scrappy does a great job with his mod.

 

[lemonfreak]

That too. But sure as shit I don't trust it anymore. Better to do things right, with a PDF or chance it yourself.

As I've said before, I keep 2 copies of the folder, one clean and one modded, so I can play the game without knowing what answers give what results and only afterwards play with mods.

When a new version drops I delete the modded folder, apply the update to the clean one, copy it then apply the mod to the copy (and also unpack the files in the modded folder for easy access to the image files, gotta be able to add those lemon dicks )

I was kinda hoping when MC received the letter about his mom, that his grandparents wanted to meet him and get to know him. I mean I know they hate MC's father for stealing their daughter away but MC is still their grandson, their daughter's son. Not sure how I would feel in Mc's position. On the one hand, you never met your mother so you grew up without knowing anything else but on the other hand you have her diary. You can get to know her, what she was like and know that you will never meet her.

his mother's letter was a great disappointment, I never believed it revealed who knows what noble parentage for MC, but he received a very exciting inheritance....

This is of course because Neil remembers nothing of his mother, and is unable to talk to him about her...

 

[Deleted member 6239]

I think when MC said about him not liking his birthdays really hit it in the feels. How can you even celebrate your birthday if it's the day your mother died.

 

[lonelyk]

Tried this game for Sage, she's one of the most gorgeous redheads in a VN on this website, but I'm a little underwhelmed with her path so far. It looks like the game will soon punish us for entertaining several routes at the same time, but I don't want to drop a main girl

Too early in the story for that reveal. At Pinkcakes most conservative end episode, we're barely 50% through the game.

It's not the right time to introduce the parents yet, but rest assured they will have their time in the story.

I could see it being possible since, as the MC says repeatedly, he doesn't know what it's like to have a mother and therefore can't articulate the absence of one. It's really the presence of Neil in his life that keeps him from enjoying his birthday; if he'd been adopted due to having no parents from birth it would likely have no effect on him at all.

Then Josy comes and leaves the cock more cleaner (I think someone was hungrier)

Neil is really a trooper for celebrating birthday parties with him every year. I mean it must hurt a lot for him but also he wants his son to enjoy this day and be happy. But yea MC doesn't want to celebrate birthdays because he knows it hurts his dad a lot.

To be fair, Jade been with Burke from young age. Bella is a virgin, and Josy is clearly a slut. Wouldn't surprise me to hear she banging dudes left and right in highschool to make Thomas jealous. And then she got bored of dudes so she started seducing girls, showing she's better at it than Tomboy.
