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

[AchedCroissant]

You know, Halloween night is perfect for a crime or homicide

 

[MoarDakka123]

Not everyone is a rock scientist

Bash rock, make spark. Spark... hot? Fire, hot! Spark, fire?

 

[SpearOfReigns]

Is that a bad thing? Most of the songs in the episode are fuckin bangers to me.

In regards to that dick pic scene though, Am I mistaken that there's a variation of Josy's reaction where she actually laughs?

Oh they are great, it just reminded me of my ex.

If I recall correctly, Josy had two reactions, both shocked, if you haven't fucked her she will thought it's Tybalt's

You would break my balls like this.

Its not looking good for the Riona fan base, especially since my DIK MC told her to go pound sand when she asked for help after she made my mc pay her 3 $$$

 

[SpearOfReigns]

Anyway, I still have questions regarding HOTs. I don't know if they're answered in game already & I missed it.
1. Why was Quinn & Riona short on their end during episode 3?
2. Why was Elena comforting crying Ashley on top floor during prep party?
3. Do Elena & Heather know about Quinn's prostitution ring?

1)Because they're expanding
2)She saw derek fucking the fatso
3)we don't know yet

But you know that it would be a perfect ending for the second season if something like that happened since many people with costumes and few of us will see their faces

It is very cliche in horror movies but we already know that DPC likes those eighties movies

Quinn also blames the shortage on Riona dipping into the stash for personal use.

Did you lose the fight against Chad? My MC beat his face in, Chad's been walking around all bruised and shit, he's more than paid the price for attacking the mc. Why you wanna go and fuck his entire life up at this point? It'll fuck all his friendships up, possibly cause issues with his family, and send him down a spiral of depression or some such shit. All because he punched you? Why don't you just put a bullet in his head and call it even?

Really... like who gives a fuck about a not-even-secondary video game CHARACTER..... people those days.... Yes I want to fuck is life up and if in a following episode he is found hanging from the ceiling of his dorm, good ridance!!It will give me another opportinity to fuck with forever-sad Sage!

Oh and I did beat him, but I forgot about it....

Ain't gonna lie, it will never affect me to see a FICTIONNAL dickhead die, meh.

Anyway, none of this will happen because the writting is much better than anything YOU OR I could come up with.

 

[Doorknocker]

I'm replaying the whole game as I found out I missed a lot of phone activities. Looking back, Dik path seems to be punishing a lot right? You're locked out of Maya, Josy, Jill and Bella (if I'm not mistaken).

I actually think this is a major theme of the game and is very intentional. The Dik path will get you the most sex with the most girls, like Casmyr said, but it will lock you out of the majority of options for long term, committed relationships. I think that's very realistic and is one of the points of the game narrative.

Uuhh... are you saying that you don't care about fictional characters and fictional stories, so therefore you're spending your time on a forum talking about and speculating about characters and stories that you totally don't care about? Alrighty. Whatever floats your boat.

 

[tlarsen]

So i'm really hoping that if you do a main girls only route without sleeping with anyone else that when the time comes i'll have to choose the girl i like the most and that it doesn't end with them all just leaving lol when i at some point will have to choose between one of them at let's say the end point of the game id be 100% ok with that

Yes, it's possible Quinn could change if the MC gets close enough to her. But I do think her scene with Tommy at the end of Episode 7 is instructive. Tommy is calm throughout the scene (and remember, this is Tommy), and even apologizes to her for his overreaction. But not only does Quinn not apologize in return, she refuses to even consider the possibility she might have been in the wrong at all.

Now it's pretty clear Quinn isn't as fond of Tommy as she is of the MC who meets her criteria. But Tommy was clearly still a close friend, and he gets shut down completely the instant he suggests Quinn admit she made a mistake. This fits the pattern we see with Riona as well; Quinn reacts extremely badly to Riona's advice and only accepted it when Riona was threatening to quit.

That's why I'm skeptical that Quinn is going to change.

I gotta play Quinn's Advocate here because I recently finished the episode and that interaction is still fresh in my mind. Tommy lost that argument hard and backpedaled the entire time. Quinn is right - Tommy isn't in the game, it's none of his business what Quinn does and when she points that out, he deflects and says she hurt the DIKs by going back on her promise about the party. Quinn then rightly points out that Tommy's ruined more parties by fucking with the tri-alphas (remember the entire feud with the tri-alphas is Tommy's fault). Quinn then points out that Tommy blamed her for the mansion being broken and surprisingly Tommy apologizes for that.

So yeah, Tommy was acting uncharacteristically reasonable, but that still doesn't make Quinn wrong. She didn't owe Tommy shit in that particular situation, Tommy's hurt the DIKs far more than she has and any personal loyalty Tommy thinks he's owed from Quinn is his own selfish expectation. Quinn has to do what she has to do, but Tommy expects her to show more loyalty to the DIKs than he himself shows. He's a shitty vice, was a terrible father to the MC and even punched him (beat his ass for that), started the whole shit with the tri's, cheats on Heather (better believe I told her about it, gonna fuck the Tommy out of her ASAP), does drugs, etc etc. Fuck that bitch.

All that being said, Quinn does have problems with admitting she's wrong, no doubt. The way she treated Riona was bullshit and if my MC knew about that he'd cockslap Quinn for it. But she does eventually accept Riona's advice, so there's hope for her to be reasonable. Quinn's quickly digging herself into a pit, and I personally suspect it's going to backfire on Riona somehow with this stalker shit. Hopefully we can stop that if we help her. That might be a wakeup call for Quinn to accept she's in too deep.

For the most part I agree. I wouldn't go so far as to say there are no circumstances that could justify outing Chad, but there definitely aren't many and none of them would be about revenge.

Honestly, given how bent out of shape people seem to get about Jill going over the MC's head to report Chad's attack, I'm not even sure that Chad's done much to warrant revenge in the first place. The MC seems pretty undisturbed by Chad's attack, and even Chad seems to have buried the hatchet with the MC (especially if he spoke up in Chad's defense during the meeting).

Now it's true that he treated Sage very poorly, but I think outing Chad directly is about the worst way to fix that. It will prevent her from accusing one of the HOTs of stealing her man, but it might also make her feel even more foolish if she didn't realize Chad was gay after all this time. Plus, if she does still have legitimate feelings for the guy, she might wind up pretty upset if the MC outs him on his own. Basically, this is a situation that calls for a deft touch rather than a knee-jerk reaction.

How's this for a knee-jerk reaction: I hope ep 8 starts with Sage looking at the picture MC sent her of Chad kissing Troy, then smashcuts to Sage and MC kicking the shit out of both of them with Josy in the corner schlicking to the raw display of pure DIKery we lay upon them. Chad's an asshole, presently and in the flashback we see, and he let beef be started with the DIKs over fucking Arieth. Arieth. Uses steroids, endangering the tri-alphas, puts Sage and probably Troy through shit because he isn't man enough to admit he's gay. Similarly to Tommy, fuck that bitch.

All love about your comments though, just giving my two cents, just have some harsh thoughts I need to get out.

Just wanted to say that I _love_ the debates on the characters and their motivations in this thread. It's clearly a sign of the dev's success in creating well-rounded, believable, true-to-life personas... there's no black and white in each of his creations, as in the real world, but shades of gray.

Personally -- and much to my astonishment -- Sage is now my clear favourite among the girls. I thought she was too jaded, shallow and cruel for my tastes initially... but she clearly has a warm vital centre, a good heart, and tries to do the right thing in the end. She's the closest woman in the game to the MC's own core personality (allowing, of course, that different players will play him somewhat differently). She also shares the MC's reflexive leadership qualities and inner steel.

I mean, I like all the girls... Quinn, as you guys have pointed out, is particularly intriguing. But Sage is my waifu choice as of episode 7.

 

[Casmyr]

Anyone else wondering what kind of movies that Jill watchs?

 

[alexnumb]

sorry for bother you all..
in which page how to fix this game?
because when i talk to jossy after confront maya's father always crash..

 

[aarbei23]

So I finished Episode 7 and I think I can summarize it with one word:

Well said DIK brother, I come here for the character debates and the story predictions, all good fun. Originally I came here to download the game a few weeks before ep 7 dropped and the theories and discussions were so interesting I actually replayed the entire game because I'd skipped a lot of 'boring' text inbetween the girls. Didn't care about the story at all. Now I'm analyzing scenes frame by frame for clues and trying to figure out how Arieth is the mastermind behind it all.

Looking forward to another few months of reading this thread and everyone's thoughts before the next ep drops.

Regarding Sage, I'm with you there too. Sage and MC are a power couple, no doubt, and she was my primary until Quinn entered the picture. Now for me Quinn edges Sage out slightly because of her potential arc, also at times Sage can seem a little bit too perfect. Sage is super hot, super fun, super smart (surprises Bella even), kinky as fuck, shares all the MC's interests (fighting and guitar), the blameless victim with the Chad stuff, and I think she's the only one Quinn is actually worried about because of her family. I guess one potential flaw Sage has is she's too trusting of Quinn, or that she's too loyal to Chad, but yeah... I dunno, maybe the angle with Sage's family will bring up some other drama and make her seem less perfect. I see a lot of potential conflict if you're on the Quinn + Sage path, considering Quinn shows jealousy if you fuck Sage in the backyard during the ep 7 party, and Sage suggests the three of you sit down to plan halloween. So looking forward to the next ep for the Sage + Quinn drama stuff, let alone Bella, Lily, finishing the mansion, learning more about the main story, etc.

Counterpoint: Sage specifically asked Quinn to inform the Diks because she knew it was the right thing to do. Quinn didn't do it. Tommy is angry that she didn't do it. Quinn refuses to acknowledge that she didn't do the right thing. She's just deflecting and pointing out that Tommy is an asshole and has done bad things. That doesn't justify doing the wrong thing (and Quinn fully knows that she did the wrong thing). It's a gaslighting resonse to avoid taking responsibility.

So yes, Quinn is in the wrong. Tommy has defnintely been in the wrong too. But that doesn't make Quinn right.
