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

[Impurity2937]

Will there be any DIK/Chick decision mechanism like in E1-8 or inherited affinity is permanent? Did DPC mention it at any point?

In E9 all decisions was related to affinity, not sureif DIK Score had any impact so far.

 

[vogelbeest]

What's bad about that? Go eat decent sushi(Rio), don't settle for infested crabs like Derek and Jacob did.

Oh, that's good by my standards lol, but DPC does not do NTR so it's not likely to see any action for MC with any of the girls that had sexual actions with others already... Weirdly enough Heather's deepthroat scene with MC seems to be close to the definition...

Episode 8 major choice clearly states you will gain a permanent affinity status.... So permanent is permanent....

I see a problem here... In my route with Isabella I never chose her as I wanted it to be kept a secret but Quinn voted for her and Isabella won

Is it to worry? 6-7 (if you count nick) people only knew that she was at the party

Bella wins the contest either way if you're in her way. Quinn votes for her costume and the crowd loves it, so whatever you do, she wins.

I would only worry about Nick, because he is suspicious. If Nick is a traitor, then we should prepare for drama and even the DIK secret code will not help. Just as he did not help protect MC from the compromising video.

The final choice in the game : marry Maya and live together in gender equality for the rest of your life..... Or burn!
No way to save anybody this time!

But more serious, Maya's storyline is intertwined directly into the HOT's, the restaurant and the Burke tuition scam...
Could these storylines work without Maya? Sure, but her role is to connect all these storylines, Josy just seems to be some satellite moon of Maya, Sage is mostly there to possibly make you feel awkward about the choices you made, Jill is the sheltered virgin white knight princes, Bella is that Milf that might fall for you because of her maternal instincts shifting into overdrive... Zoey is that wild chick, the one that got away.... And returned, so what is it with her?

The only thing canon is said in the first episode.... If it's supposed to happen it will.... The further we get, the more it seems a valid assumption we will be getting a possible ending with pretty much all girls but Arieth...

The situation with the restaurant and Burke's corruption can be unleashed in another way: Mona returns and charges, or if the MC tells Sage everything (provided that he did not use the services, otherwise he will put himself under the rage of Sage)
I don't really know how Maya's line can help solve this case. Burke refused to help, this is already a passed stage, Maya knows nothing about the restaurant and now her storyline with debt passes under the auspices of Jill and her lawyer.

The awkwardness of choosing Sage is a very optional decision. When I got this cliffhanger at the end of Ep 8 I replayed the game with Sage's safe route. I think that's what many did.

Yupp.

Betrayal is expected from the person you least expect and everyone expects it to be Nick and it cannot be considered betrayal at this point

A very popular scenario trap, by the way. But who could it be then? I have no suspicions about any of the other DIK's.

I don't really know how Maya's line can help solve this case.

It's not about if storylines could be done in a different way or better or not.... Maya is the first of the central group of MC's friends he meets on campus, she gives you a tour on campus, introduces you to the Jocks, the Diks, the Preps and the HOTs.
Her part in the story is connecting the dots.... This really gives her no special role as being canon LI or whatever...
It's just the character used to connect the main story events, other storylines get hooked into it the further we go into the story.

As for Maya's connection to the Burke scam and the restaurant... Nothing changed in ep 9, Maya still needs tuition, Quinn still wants to expand the restaurant, we see Burke calling a certain Priscilla that most likely is Quinn's given name...
Sure now there's Jill's lawyer that might be Maya's salvation.... But no, that's gonna be a dead end too.... Just like we knew Burke was not going to give her that scholarship this episode...

The game starts with: family is a group of people whether connected by blood or not, that accept you for you and stand by you whatever your choices are.... It's about the story of MC and the people close to him, the ones he fights for and who fight for him.... This group of people are Maya, Josy, Jill, Sage, Bella, but also the DIks.... And Zoey is likely to be one aswell...
It's with these characters we will follow the main storylines.... This game is the story of MC and his friends or "family"...

Derek

One thing that I noticed by looking at the game's guides is that we can gain RPs with him. Besides Derek and the five main girls, we can also gain RPs with the DIKs (this seems obvious) and the preps (this was not as obvious). For the HOTs as a faction, I do not recall any interaction in which RPs were explicitly mentioned, but choosing to accompany Sage and Quinn at the cafeteria instead of going with Josy and Maya was mentioned as something good for the relationship between the MC and the HOTs. So far I do not remember having found anything that put us on better terms with the jocks though.

EDIT: And with the tri-betas it is possible to gain RPs once at least.

the first impression is that, and I absolutely believe that Maya and Jill are the 'chosen ones'.

but then thinking about it a few weeks ago the driving character of almost all MC's events is Sage, and not Maya, and incredibly it all starts from a single 'random' action

1) if Sage didn't stop at MC's table in the cafeteria Chad wouldn't intervene and later on he wouldn't agress MC, indirectly introducing him to Jill (who would be at this point completely cut out of the story as we know it).
2) With Jill cut, Bella's role would also be greatly reduced, basically the only interaction would be to give him clothes to stop him from walking around naked.
2) without the confrontation with Chad, the Jocks wouldn't steal MC's guitar and this in turn would block all the way with Sage
4) and once MC isn't robbed, he probably wouldn't try to be a DIK and wouldn't share a room with Maya, distancing his involvement in her debt
5) at that point the only LI he would have a connection with would be Josy

but beyond this series of actions and reactions, Sage is just as central as Maya in the general story, the restaurant, the voice of free tuition, are all aspects that involve Sage anyway, who sooner or later will have to become an active subject of these events.

I always felt so Quinn knew more about the MC from the beginning.

One of the reasons why I never liked Quinn is precisely Quinn's strange obsession with the MC.


• Quinn clearly doesn't get sexually involved with all the boys who do the HOT's panty mission, but with the MC she does.

• Quinn, as far as I could understand, does not actively participate in the CUM-petition. Guess what? Quinn, besides participating, handpicked the MC and even went so far as to have sex with him in front of everyone.

• Quinn doesn't seem to actively participate in the “restaurant” either, but when the customer is the MC she seems to make an exception.

• Quinn for some reason (maybe out of sadism?) used a taser gun on the MC, while the other girls just normally woke up those who volunteered to become DIK's.


And all this happened in the first 2 episodes and apparently without any justification. Was Quinn just an asshole? Seriously, I already tried to like her, but this beginning between the two kills the dynamic of a friendly relationship.

I feel like Derek, DIKs and Preps will help us with something important in the future if we have high enough points with them.

I can see the Preps helping MC out of a mess if he was nice to them in ep. 8 & 9 so far. Because in this game you never know when you might need allies in the long run.

The funny thing, about Tybalt he was a bastard who got lucky. He talks down to everyone who's lower than him, but The Preps they know he's ain't shit. To the Preps their purebloods while he isn't, he doesn't ruin he's no real friend. If he wasn't such a shit head maybe they would respect him but no he's a joke. Maybe some point in the future someone puts him in his place where he gets some character development and grow up.

It should be something similar to Rockstar's Bully game. If you've played (most likely) you know what I'm talking about. At the end of the game Jimmy, along with the nerds, jocks, preppies and greasers get together to kick Gary's ass. Probably in Being a DIK, the kicked ass will be Vinny's.

Tbh: I been notice she was obsessed with him, even Sage (Being her FB) says Quinn would not shut up about him.
Honestly, I just think she did all that fuck with him she loves messing him. Times when you don't defend she put off, like at the after the CUM-petition if you didn't defend Maya she's shocked. Like she like to mess with in front of him to get a reaction from him. She likes it when he gets mad. She loves the Bad-boy side of him more.

No, Gary gotten everyone to rampage in the school. But Jimmy did gotten everyone along but I don't see the Jocks getting along with DIKs as long you don't troll with them in the comments on Social Media. Also, if Chad is on your good side.

Do you know if Tremolo lets the preps into the party, this will affects DIKs happiness ?

Vinny as final boss is way too anticlimactic imo.
MC's finishing mom's diary seems a harder task than defeating Vinny atm. Just throw Maya, Derek, Dawe or Aerith as bullet sponges at him and knock him out cold.

Dunno, I always let them in.
