VN Ren'Py Eruption Imminent [v0.4.0] [MorriganRae]

[Axel34]

I'm more interested not in who the blackmailer is (IMO, there is no option that satisfies the majority of players), but in how big the role she playes in the plot.
Will blackmailer be the main antagonist and the main "engine of the story" because of which Ashe, and maybe some of her friends, will dig themselves deeper into web of criminality and controversy? Will blackmail take up almost all of Ashe's attention and determine her behavior?
OR is blackmailer just a pervert who wants to satisfy her manipulative tendencies? And the blackmail will take place on the periphery of the plot, will complement it but not define it?
Anyway, in any case, blackmail in itself is a fetish and a good ingredient for corruption and non-typical character behavior for spicy pornography.
This story is so masterfully engaging! I love every part of it!

I don't even no why most of you are replying to this dumb troll. Do I think Deliah is the blackmailer? NO. But to say there is no evidence or red herrings is dumb and so is this guy, who, I already put on the ignore list just now, because this guy can't be reasoned with, and will take everything at face value. If you tell them that aliens and zombies will strike in a week, this dude will believe it and go start preparing, Or better yet tell him you slept with his mom, he will cry and go ask her why did she do that, because he doesn't have the brain cells to think logically. So my advice people is just ignore this dude, because it is the easiest method.

And again, not a single argument, only insults. Apparently it’s not me who is dumb here, but you who are dumb, since you don’t have enough brains to make an argument. Go away, kid.

The blackmail being on the periphery would be, to me, make it more likely that Delilah is the culprit, because it could lead to some good tension and conflict, be exposed and come to a resolution fairly quickly, letting the main plot be re-centred. Delilah could learn from it, be punished, and grow. If it is anyone else it seems like it would be inherently a more serious and dangerous thing, and couldn't be brushed away so easily. Like a full on revenge and rampage might be justified.

It's just an idea but I think the blackmailer will push Ashe to let her inner pervert come out but not because she wants Ashe to accept herself, but to make her be everything bad that they think of the Duplos, a nasty whore.

hmm I can see that if Delilah is the blackmailer tho question still comes down to how did she find out about Ashe. As I still don't think Fiona told her she clearly lied about Fiona telling her in my opinion despite what a certain other user tried to make me believe

Maybe he has x-ray vision and could see the one that also had a vagina when they were in the closet, and sent the message while sleepy, probably his double personality like the one Ashe has in her hallucinations.

haha just realized I misread your post a bit I replied to thought you were talking about Delilah not just the blackmailer in general. Either way I like your idea for the blackmailer.

In my opinion, if the blackmail story was Delilah behind it, it wouldn't be so bad. There is no “bad” intention behind it and Ashe could learn to deal with it in the future. Due to their special status, they will inevitably be confronted with something like this in the future.

Yeah im starting to hope it is Delilah just because someone else would be much worst imo and better it's someone Ashe knows and can deal with than an unknown and like you said they be able to handle better in the future if something happens again.

Don't you guys think that if the blackmail conflict and its resolution is not the main story line, then it would be more interesting to keep who the blackmailer is in a secret? And allow players, even after the end of the story, to identify a circle of suspects and build their conjectures and assumptions? Or would you consider it as an author's betrayal?
I like controversial and open endings, and some mysteries are preferable to remaining mysteries from a drama perspective. But perhaps not in this case?
Aren't you afraid that you won't like the revelation of the blackmailer's identity? For example, because the option was too obvious, or, on the contrary, too unobvious (and all suspicions went wrong), or that you liked the character who turned out to be a blackmailer, or that this character was not in the story at all?

I don't really care about blackmail yet. It's unpleasant, yes, but it's not "yet" dramatic, and therefore a side story. Personally, I have no problem with this continuing for a few more updates. BUT, if things go one way, Ashe will have to act.

I can see the appeal to that but I think it depends how often the blackmail storyline comes up. If it's something that happens often I would like some kind of resolution. But if it's just there to add some tension, drama and make ashe scared / freak out once in awhile i'm fine with it never being revealed. As long as there are hints and clues along the way to come to our own idea who it might be. However I wouldn't want the entire cast to have something suspicious about them were anyone could be it. I think some suspicion needs to be resolved to say X can't be the blackmailer now because X happened so not everyone is sus.

 

[Aaron236]

Just you wait Rachel, i took the Siren path, eventually, your ass will be mine, so will be Vanessa's and Delilah's I'll do them just like i did Fiona's mentor

 

[smut]

Uhm, 'mentor'? Is that an euphemism for 'landlady'?

You had me at 'ass' though.

Why is Ashe just there and not in the middle?

 

[smut]

I suppose that route is about her watching everyone around her getting it on.

Like has been discussed earlier, I hope the routes are flexible enough (and MR has hinted at that), because while some might have their preferences or fetishes lined up with them, there's also those who don't really manage to identify with the labels.

 

[Asmodean2]

well that would be wrong, after all it's her landlady

 

[robin312]

I think you are talking about kitten route, not cuck. Cuck fetish is mostly watching, not participating
