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

[sixart]

Mansions are not built on campus just like that. The game did not say whose it was before the purchase. But apparently he really belonged to some kind of brotherhood.

And after purchase it's ownership falls to........

Funny how you can go from an ant to an elephant

I was thinking (again) about traces of blood we can see in the game. There is a massive amount on Tri-Alphas sofa's (beginning of the game), then there is some on a settee (chair) in DIK's library. Are there other locations with blood that I have missed? Could those two furnitures or bloody episodes be related?
I have not looked at this thread for months because it's always growing very fast, so I've searched for past posts but I've not found discussions related to joining those blood traces togheter.

Jill is also good friends with the nerdy King Magnar.

The only question now is who will form a basketball team.

What is the fixation on basketball ? " Rebound guy " and such as " Bailey " ? Far fetched at best...

In picture 1 of EP2, we see the DIK dining table with 6 seats. But there should be 7. In picture 2 of EP7 we see 9 seats and it could be expanded to 10 seats. Who came with Derek and the MC? What if Nick didn't even live in the mansion before? Did he maybe leave with Vinny and come back later when Derek and the MC committed? Does the difference of 3-4 seats perhaps show us if some DIK's will leave from EP9?

What does fixation mean here?

- The Alphas play basketball
- The DIK's play basketball
- Derek had a basketball in his old room
- On the wall of Derek's closet there used to be a football picture and now there is a basketball picture instead.
- Sage is also good with the basketball

- B&R does not have a sports team, which is unusual for American college movies. This is unusual for American colleges per se.

- There is a nice water polo mini-game in EP8 where DPC can certainly turn the water polo into a basketball very quickly.
- You link the routines from the water polo game (rebounding) to the basketball game from the mansion (basket toss), write a few routines (passing from player to player) for a new mini-game, and you have a new complete basketball mini-game for a team.

There are just a lot of hints and two out of three parts of a complete basketball mini-game are already done.

or .. its just coincidence

i mean , in germany for example , like 70% of young guys have a football(soccer-ball) laying around
and some posters from football(soccer) players
that does not mean they all playing or making a team

you are really overanalyzing every game aspect ....

 

[sixart]

you are really overanalyzing every game aspect ....

That's what I was getting at... I hope with this combined it gets through Though I'm not holding my breath

 

[Boehser Onkel]

Do you know how many play in soccer clubs? Masses. I also played in a club and participated in tournaments until I was 25.

Besides, BaDIK is about a university. Prestige. Sponsorship.
And two out of three parts of a complete basketball mini-game are already done.

at what point - really - is even the slightest mentioned about "sponsorship"????
B&R is owned by 2 private familys ....
there is even a tennis mini-game - does that imply that they all play tennis?
you bending plain facts so that they fit your theories ...

edit : btw there is already a basketball mini game - at the mansion hallway ...

 

[sixart]

Dalli was referring to it as basket toss... but he's fixated on the story will get a basketball competition ( in some form ) from either alphas or diks or mixed... which is possible but very far fetched as there doesn't seem to be a need from any side

As you mentioned just because someone plays a game ( for what it is A GAME ! ) that does not mean that they go through fire and flames to create a " team " for whatever reasons

Read and think. Sponsorship is explicitly not mentioned. But at the EP5 prep party, the men talk about how they can save taxes. Sponsoring a team would bring tax savings.

Yes, B&R is owned by two private families. But prestige is certainly important to them, too.

Tennis has nothing to do with basketball. Unless you are trying to put a tennis ball through a basketball hoop.

I interpret circumstantial evidence and facts, I don't twist them. That's how you create a theory. If I didn't use circumstantial evidence and facts, it would be fan fiction. A theory can be true, but it doesn't have to be. It's just a theory.

If you have something against my theory, then please respond with counterarguments. You have not done that.

Edit:
Are you reading my post correctly before answering me?

I even wrote that there is a basketball mini-game in the villa. This mini-game could, I repeat myself, could, but does not have to be a part of insgeasmt 3 parts of a real team basketball mini-game.

In the water polo game, all you have to do is replace the water polo with a basketball. What does the MC do in the water polo minigame? He catches the water polo ball that Maya and Josy throw to each other. (Rebound) So with slight changes, DPC could make it the 2nd part of a real team basketball minigame.

The only thing missing is part 3, which is when the MC throws a pass to another player.

So we actually already have 2 of 3 parts of a real team basketball minigame.

yeah
thats why thinking of another one?
i would prefer a fightclub - all prerequisites are given
i mean why they all are pumping ...no...
at first i would give dawe a head..butt (one of the best jokes in the game)

What a save ! I was worried there for a sec.....

 

[Boehser Onkel]

I have already published a theory in a slightly older post of mine, so that the MC may start a career as Martial's fighter and so perhaps also get a scholarship.

If you have not read this post, I can not help it.

you are really something else ...
what has my urge for a fightclub to do with your old post?

 

[vogelbeest]

But so far the only one looking for a scholarship is Maya, so looking for scholarships for MC, the DIK's and the Jocks does not really solve that. Besides that we don't even know if several of them already have a scholarship, we only know MC has a loan.

Maya wants a tuition scholarship.
Chad has a scholarship.

So why shouldn't MC get a scholarship? He wants to take out student loans, as far as I can remember. In EP9, he probably meets Stephen Burke or all the Burkes. In my playthroughs he passed all midterms 100% and 10% bonus. Even Sage said to Quinn that they know the MC is not stupid. Did she see the exam results on Papa Stephen? The MC is also athletic. He just needs to prove it. Maybe we'll do that at the basketball mini-game?

So the MC is a top student, a top athlete, and meets Stephen Burke in EP9. Chad might have fallen out of favor with Stephen if Sage told her father everything, but that's pure speculation. Nothing really stands in the way of a scholarship, though. Whether he gets one is also just speculation.

 

[sixart]

Sorry, my fault.

No problemo !

So the MC is a top student, a top athlete

So the MC is YOU so his brain capacity depends on you and so does his athletic traits...

Is he REALLY that talented in general ? Or as an athlete ? Or as a musician ? Is he REALLY interested in becoming a professional in either of these ???

I don't think the story is at that point yet... and I don't think his profession would be any of these ^... besides I already said this a couple of times... I don't think this story has a happy ending in general... dependent on which route you go down you will most likely either die or go to jail ! Maybe there is a semi-happy route too but so far it does not seem likely

I agree with you there. But he could take a direction in these areas.

I think about what Philip said before the concert, that some students started their career as musicians on this stage.

Even Stephen told Isabella that the aptitude tests will start soon.

So far I see him play the guitar only as a hobby... and to be frank it comes very handy to get laid But there is no fire in him which would push him into that direction... concert success or not !

About those aptitude tests... isn't it a tad bit early to create theories over something where there is only insufficient input present ? It can only result in these VERY far fetched ideas...

Well a scholarship for MC which is the only one capable of the trio to get one Without of course Jose and quinn being Jills niece daughter cousins friend or whatever. Would solve the Maya situation. MC uses his Loan for Maya's studies and he takes the free ride.
Or Maya takes the free ride Leaves mc after college stuck with the bill haha.
Though with Maya's grades it's kind of surprising she didn't get a scholarship herself being valedictorian and all.

Too early to tell... but there are a couple of solutions... not necessary to get an aneurysm over it

Nah not she could also just ride on a dick and get a free ride. Burks obviously no match for MC dick anyway judging from his wifes actions Maya aint leaving MC for Burk dick so..
