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

[Geralt From Rivia]

I really don't have an opinion in the CHICK vs DIK debate but one thing is for sure - for someone who claims to love statistics, you sure have a poor understanding of it - 18.2% (or ~42% if you weed out those who haven't reached a permanent affinity yet) is not the majority. By definition, a majority mean 50%+1. The fact is, the majority (~58% of people that have reached a permanent affinity) is NOT on the DIK path.

They can be considered the majority, because they got the highest result of all, which has a lead over the rest of the options. We do not have parliamentary elections here, where it is necessary to form a majority of 50 + 1
By your own definition, these 58% cannot be in the same majority group, because it is Neutral and CHICK - different groups (unless they form a coalition).
Further, based on the available results, when no side gets 50 + 1, we can consider the side with the largest number of votes of 42% as a relative majority.

I have the feeling that the next update will be biggest one ever

Does anyone else feel like shit when he sleeps with Jade when doing a Bella run but not when sleeping with every other girl (while doing a Bella run)

I usually bang Quinn on a Bella run for the Hell Week points but Quinn is a hustler and easy to make out and get the fuck out. Fucking Jade is just asking for trouble.

He is planning to release in November !! He is making sure all of us fail the NNN

I can't wait for the update, I want to play.!

I bet some Italian users on this site would have no problem with that.

No, they can be considered plurality but not majority. It's simply their definition. The definition of the words do not change just because an election is or isn't involved.

And yes, it is absolutely a majority of people not choosing to be a DIK. The definition is 50%+1. It doesn't say anything about whether it's all one choice or multiple choices grouped together.

For someone who claims to love statistics, it's rather sad that you don't know the difference between a majority vs a plurality.

Your definition is wrong. I'll give you a simple example. In the capital of my country, the mayoral elections are held in one round, no matter what the result is. The last mayor won the election with a result of 37% - this is considered a relative majority. Because the second round is not provided.
"Most don't want to be DICK" is also wrong. How do you know? It's safe to say that "don't want to be DIK" only CHICK players. Because CHICK is the opposite of DIK. There are 23% of such players, no more than 50. Neutral approach - he has both CHICK and DIK choices, so he is more likely to be in the category of "undecided" or "difficult to answer". Yes, my mistake is that I should have written this in a previous post, for definiteness.

To calm tits of DIK supremacists, we should perhaps note that the majority (~76% in this case) also didn't pick the CHICK path :v

We can also mark Neutrals as "undecided" or "difficult to answer" and count only as DIK and CHICK opposite each other. Sociology has entered the chat.

Hey, now. I won't speak for everyone, but personally am decidedly Neutral

Hey, now. I won't speak for everyone, but personally am decidedly Neutral

I'm everyone, because I have 12 saves on Pateon versions and 5 on Steam with all possible route's and affinities

What I find interesting (since all the DIK/Chick stats are not mutually exclusive as many people have multiple runs and earn all the stats), is the percentage of people who bought the game and never progressed past episode 1!

72% complete episode 1. That means over 25% of people who bought it never even played it or simply bailed before the end of the first episode.

It gets worse:

Only 65% completed episode 2.

And the attrition rate keeps increasing as you work down the episodes, reaching all the way down to only 23% completed episode 8.

Fucking !

You'd be surprised with how common that is, always has been with every kind of game, I remember a huge discussion about games' length arose when ubisoft revealed something like 60 or 70% of the people who bought assassins creed 2 never finished it.
I also have who knows how many games on steam that I never even touched, most because they were given to me for free in some way or another. Although this can't be the case for BaDIK since the game has never been given away anywhere as far as I'm aware.

 

[AchedCroissant]

means over 25%

They played it, jerk off and asked DPC for a refund which made him sad

"The important thing is that they paid nevertheless" - DPC's mind

Many people buy games and then ... don't play them. I even know one friend who bought a bunch of games that his weak laptop won't handle, but according to him he bought them "for the future".

My Steam cries and curses at me everyday.

The last mayor won the election with a result of 37% - this is considered a relative majority. Because the second round is not provided.

Again, that's a plurality, not a majority. And you only need a plurality, not a majority, to win in a first-past-the-post election system (which is basically what you described - the person with the most votes win, regardless of percentage).

You can claim my definition is wrong all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that what I said are the dictionary definition of majority vs plurality. You really should learn the difference if you are so interested in statistics.

"Most don't want to be DICK" is also wrong. How do you know? It's safe to say that "don't want to be DIK" only CHICK players.

It's most definitely not "safe to say" that. Your very own statistics bear it out. There are more people locked into in the neutral path than CHICK path.
