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

[felicemastronzo]

You're right, it's one of the game's shortcomings that the mc can't even explain things.

Also I just realized you are a fellow man of culture and Jeane admirer.

Mc actually tells Jill, but as if it were the worst kind of excuse... if he had told her that his grandmother had died it would have been more believable...

"Too bad I can't...you know I have a sick friend, I promised her.... I really don't want to but you know how it is, I gave my word now... Maybe we'll do it next year?"

With his trousers on he wouldn't even convince Arieth.

About Jill and Tybalt.

Considering Jill's liabilities with the harassment, if we accumulate too many misdeeds against Tybalt, it will backfire on us. I think we risk a big penalty with Jill.

Tybalt, although he is presented as a character who is laughed at for making fun of himself, he is not harmless. His father is Stephen Burke, he could help his son get revenge (especially if he knows that the one who pisses his son has also fucked his wife ...).

The best way to end this story is for Jill to open her eyes. She must put an end to Tybalt's hopes. Jill is naive, she has not understood the kind of interest Tybalt has in her. Once she understands, she will have to tell him clearly that there is no way.

you know what is funny about jill lovers, even if she blow five guys in row people will say, She is naive.


You said : Considering Jill's liabilities with the harassment, if we accumulate too many misdeeds against Tybalt, it will backfire on us. I think we risk a big penalty with Jill.

My answer : Yes It will but how dare mc hurt tybelt. he is just blackmailing her and trying to get into her pants.

(She is so naive that she do know tybelt trying to win her over also know knows what sex is but when bella says he is just trying to get one thing from you. She act like brainless worm : what a bull shit logic but I am sorry she is so naive she didn't even know the meaning of finger herself right. )

She is awesome if you post on jill post that tybelt is stalking her she will mark it as harassment .


As shown jill father is sneaky Baster# so mc with chick affinity will get bullet on his balls but wait jill will stand for mc after tybelt turn is over or she stand for her sister now wear her hat at night so nobody can see or turn off lamp so tybelt don't see (Wow she will understand and stand for mc) .


Didn't jill says something about sex on 3 date ohh sorry she is naive.


I suppose she wants it so perfect that she will need help form tybelt regarding that issue because they both are virgin, rich, entitled and love to judge mc and Jill is so angle that she believes the blackmailer words over mc .

Good luck bro !

[azer196]

so about jill marking for harassment is no joke?

 

[Jules_Papillon]

Then clearly it's all instrumental in creating some guilt whatever choice we make, dear DPC....

This! And it's okay for the story. A good story must arouse emotions.

but if I were interested in Jill and I gave up a date with her to check on a sick friend, she'd kick my ass out of her house and she' d be right.

Have you ever asked for a spontaneous date? Yes? And you never got an answer that the timing is bad? Lucky you.

Taking care of a friend would be a big plus with me. Of course I would be disappointed, but not angry. I would be mad if I found out it was a lie.

But I think we can agree to disagree on that point.

 

[Icekatana]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but in episode 6, if you choose Sage over Jill (because, like, you already made plans with Sage before Jill showed up unexpectedly, Sage was sick and you don't just bail on a sick friend, and fucking Jill didn't even ring before she showed up...), then you don't get to see Jill paddling the old pink canoe later in episode 7.

Also when you meet up with Jill in the corridors at college (after snogging with Cathy no less - oh fuck, sorry Bella), and the mc tells her he wants to see her (after she says it'll probably be a month before they can start catching up again) Jill thinks to herself, "(Then why haven't you shown that more?)".

She's actually pissed that the mc didn't dump a sick friend that he'd already made plans with because she showed up unannounced dressed as little Red Riding Hood.

What a fucking cow!

I thought the exact thing when I first played episode 6. I personally always stick with the plans that I make first with someone IRL. First come, first served essentially.

In Jill's defense, I don't recall MC actually providing a specific reason why he turns down Jill's, very thoughtful, impromptu date. I could be wrong, but I thought MC was vague and said something like, "I have plans. Sorry". (EDIT I was wrong. See sorco2003's post below ) Jill might think he blew her off for hanging out with the guys and grabbing a beer. MC should have said, "Sorry Jill, I can't. I'm taking care of a sick friend who called before you did. Can we reschedule?" At least now she won't feel second fiddle.

That's a very neat detail though, and I've never seen that. If MC could read minds, then he might have thought she was being snarky.

That neatly brings me to this point. I don't like when DPC shows us what other people are thinking. Why would the player or the MC know that? If Jill hadn't had the internal monologue when MC goes to visit her, ("No, stay!) then the player and MC might think she's being cold. Maybe she's changing her mind about liking the MC? Wouldn't that doubt be far more interesting than magically knowing what someone is thinking? And, no, that isn't the MC knowing later in life as he narrates. He wouldn't ever know what someone thinks at a certain moment.

 

[vogelbeest]

She is awesome if you post on jill post that tybelt is stalking her she will mark it as harassment

so about jill marking for harassment is no joke?

Think MC's posts in Jill related clucks get flagged by Tybalt... Jill would just ask in post to be nice to the people she cares about..

OK, yeah. I thought I could be wrong about that. Thanks for clearing that up.

Seems a little petty for Jill to think that then. I still hate it when DPC tells us what people think.

My memory didn't serve me well at all here. That's a much better explanation than I thought. No excuse for Jill to think we aren't making an effort, like shazba pointed out.

Hey, MC, ask her to reschedule for tomorrow? What a dumbass.

Worst aspec of VNs is that if you don't follow a route as straigt as a laser beam you don't get the best ending, or even a good ending, with a girl. In a long game like this one it can get very frustrating and takes out a lot of agency to the player.

Not saying that this is the case with Being a DIK, since we don't know yet how it will end.

I'm personally a big fan of critical choices very late in the game. Conseguences, ok, but you should be able to save a relationship close to the end. Otherwise it's "follow the walkthrough by the letter" and not much more.

 

[Jules_Papillon]

Hey, MC, ask her to reschedule for tomorrow? What a dumbass.

That would be smart. But then it would no longer be a dilemma.

If you skip the date, you don't fall out of Jill's path at the same time. Possibly this is just to show us that sweet and naive Jill is not flawless either. Because of her past she might have fear of loss.

But we will get certainty only much later.

You are wrong there is another one. I will post it when I check my save again.

 

[ename144]

Jill wants more, even if you're not on her path? I honestly don't see that. Her path is the most difficult one in my opinion, because even small mistakes have negative effects.

Jill is disappointed if the MC shows no interest in her on her data and seems eager to give him another chance. And even if she doesn't tell the MC, she agrees to Tybalt's demands to protect him.

I think it's pretty clear Jill very much wants more with the MC, and will settle for being friends only if the MC makes it clear he's not into her romantically. Which is not to say that Jill is eager for sex, or that the would-be relationship would automatically last. I'm just saying that Jill would prefer to start dating the MC in a formal sense and would probably have proposed it in Episode 6 but for Tybalt's blackmail.

If MC doesn't go on the Ep. 6 date with Jill, then he misses opportunities for RP in Ep. 7 as well as Jill's first lewd scene. While that might not remove him from Jill's path, it may make it harder to get her ending.

I'd have a MUCH harder time with this in my playthroughs if Jill wasn't so

"SHE" - There is Jill's problem, right there, the word "SHE" . I guarantee you if it was a HE, Jill will not be disappointed. But since it's another "Bitch"- Jill not like the MC's generousness. Simple is that. .

Even My dear Josy doesn't like the idea of ME dating Jill, despite we agree to an open relationship.

God, , Jill will be so good as the Rich Bitch , why she has to be Chick? so lame .

 

[shazba]

So you're saying it's totally fine that there are no consequences to Tybalt punching the MC in public, but returning the favor deserves contempt?

For all the bullshit that is Tybalt, he slapped the mc in retaliation for him ruining his prep party (potentially costing the preps a lot of money as the party is all about raising funds) and humiliating his guests by soaking them all. Given the mc was entirely in the wrong to do that (but we don't care 'cause we hate the preps), I think Tybalt had already paid for the slap he gave the mc, and more.

Turning around and punching Tybalt, after having just ruined his party and cost him money, is definitely a DIK thing to do, bordering on a cunt thing to do, but it's a game, and we hate Tybalt, so who cares.

Interesting that Jill is a Chick girl, some of these decisions are very selfish of her, with would fit more to a Bitchi Dik girl

I think it's a very Chick thing to be upset when blown off by a guy you like. A DIK would be like, "whatever", and get on with their life.

To be fair to Jill (even though I just finished saying she was a fucking cow earlier), she had a lot on her mind. She'd given in to Tybalt's blackmail so she was already going against it to take the mc out on a birthday picnic. She'd put together a nice picnic basket and had a plan to take the mc to a place that was special to her. She had Tybalt's blackmail at the back of her mind (or even forefront of her mind) and then the mc blows her off, for another girl no less. Yeah, most girls would probably get upset about that.

Worst aspec of VNs is that if you don't follow a route as straigt as a laser beam you don't get the best ending, or even a good ending, with a girl. In a long game like this one it can get very frustrating and takes out a lot of agency to the player.

I'm personally a big fan of critical choices very late in the game. Conseguences, ok, but you should be able to save a relationship close to the end. Otherwise it's "follow the walkthrough by the letter" and not much more.

It's interesting that you can make all the wrong choices with Sage (or deliberately have nothing to do with her) until episode 7 and the relationship can still blossom into full force across the span of one episode (Sage is a free agent and she's not wasting time). I don't know what that means for other relationships. Are they crossing a path of no return yet, where if we've missed the boat there won't be another?

It's hard to say:

• The Cathy/Bella situation doesn't look good. It sounded very final (and while you see Bella looking at her ring in the prologue, she doesn't remove it).
• If you don't choose Jill over Sage in episode 6, it has an impact on a lot of what she thinks and does in episode 7.
• Strangely enough, if you don't choose Sage, Sage doesn't really give a fuck at all after sending you an annoyed message (which no one ever saw but it was totally there).
• If you don't hook up with the M&J duo in episode 4, is that throuple ever on the cards again?
• Professing to Derek that you still have feelings for one of the girls makes it seem like there's a chance with that one girl, but what about the other girl? Is she off the table forever?
• Although she's not a love interest, it seems with Quinn, if we didn't start the ball rolling on the DIK roof back in episode 4, none of the Quinn scenes open up.

Respectfully disagree. IMO :
First of All while I take responsibility with Derek, it was Him who Ruined the party. MC was like " I talked to Sage, they can't come with us, We done here , lets go ". It was Derek who Fucked up everything, " If they can't party with us, let's make sure, they wont party here ".
Then, Tybalt, Arrogant, Privileged disgusting behaviour toward, MC and then Bitch slap him. sorry but that is the "pussy Test". He deserve to be punched, and put in his place. That is not a Dik move , Its a pussy move if you dont do it.
I don't agree with DPC idea of the morality system. So far there was literally one good example of Dik move, if you beat Troy, now that is a jerk move, a Dik move.
The vast majority of these " Major Decisions" - are very Questionable. and They often feels forced. Like Tommy punching you, and if you Stand up for yourself, kick his ass, that is a Dik move.

Weakest part of the Game the whole affinity system. Not to mention, how these stats affect the Girls, because they have "Force Power" and they can see your aura.
Decision that they don't have knowledge about, or not affecting them are matters to them, but clear choice like in the end of Ep 6 between Jill or Sage, has no effect on Sage at all.

Yeah, it feels like the term "DIK" gets re-invented a bit. To me it initially seemed synonymous with "Dick" so a "DIK" move is a "dick" move, whereas now it seems more like being a DIK is basically not being a pussy.

I don't care really, but definitely not going to console Steve who was a total cunt the whole time and you wouldn't give him the time of day in the real world, seemed strange to be labelled a DIK move.
