VN Ren'Py Eruption Imminent [v0.5.1] [MorriganRae]

[cooties69]

Caught up on the current version, and I still think the Cop is the Blackmailer.

The tldr of my original post about it was that out of the 3 or so possible people, she's the only one with multiple plausible ways of finding out Ashe is a Duplo. The one event for just about everyone to have found out was the sleep over, but the Cop could have found out from the first version when she frisked her. Also could have learned, or at least suspected, when she was at the gym when we were in the shower, since we saw her enter when we see her legs and towel.

She also has multiple ways and knowledge of how to track us, since she IS a cop. From the least likely, but possible, getting our medical records via a false report, to more likely stuff like knowing there's a problem with the phones (as stated by Fiona) and being a cop means there's a good chance she'd know how to exploit it.

Plus, she's already committed the crimes of stalking, blackmail, coursion, and intimidation. And if you want to use the strictly legal definition by most irl states, the crime of assault, since by criminal definition most places have it only needing to be more or less invading one's personal space in an aggressive/violent way. So it's not unlikely she'd stop there. And in regards to that final scene, while I'm not 100% sure she's the one who's going to drug our party, she does have plenty of access to contraband and confiscated drugs she could use. And she is the only character NOT named in that ending montage that could be behind this. We see all other suspects that are physically there that could do it.

Ok, I JUST though about this after my post about the Cop being the Blackmailer, but I have to post it.

If we take out motive for now, I'll come back to that, who are the ONLY TWO characters we've met that would 100% know Ashe is a Duplo? I hope I'm wrong, but here me out!

Both the mom and sister know we're a Duplo, both know who our boss is (so far the only person in our contacts that has had anything sent to them), both knew about our date night, and both could have easily have gotten that plug to us as fast as they did!

As far as motive, they both have a personal reason to target us. We confessed to Rachel and made out with her while she was drunk. the mom could be doing it as a "lesson" for us to control ourselves. And they both might blame us for our other mother's/wife's death. And if we want to go full conspiracy, they both know about the party and we didn't SEE the mom going anywhere after she walked out the door to go on a business trip that started the same day!

I so don't want this to be right, buy there is a trail there!

It's an interesting theory, unfortunately for me personally it fails on one of the most important questions. How did Delilah find out?

I think if a theory can't answer that, it is likely to be difficult to truly justify. That is also my biggest issue with the theory that it might be Siri. The obvious answer is that it's Delilah, however I, like many others, believe it's TOO obvious of an answer. I still think it's Delilah's other mom, Victoria. I look forward to finding out, or getting more clues, but I think I'll stick with my pages long theory I posted a while back.

When someone reposted the poster with the cast a few pages back it hit me: Stella is the blackmailer.

Afaik she is yet only introduced in the cuck path but being featured this prominent on the top with the large sized picture she must be getting a much bigger role in the future and will be introduced in the other path as well. She also is a very mysterious character yet, just as MRs X would be.

How she got to know Ashe is a duplo and what her motives are is simply too early to tell. We have no indications about it yet.

She found out the same way the other suspects could have found out, at the sleepover. She walked in on Ashe, saw she was a Duplo, and left. She lied about it because she didn't want to say she walked in on them. That morning she didn't spend all that much time talking with Ashe and left the table before anyone could really think about it.

If we thinking of the same pic, EVERY character is there that we've seen, along with a few we've only been told exist. Her profile pic was most likely put there for convince, since all the pics seem to just be put where they fit, rather than based on story importance. And while I haven't played that path, it's not good story telling to only have a character we see in one path play THAT BIG of a role, and this game is far from poorly written.

 

[Birdnman993]

I don't have the strength to repeat myself about the theories of who is the blackmailer, so I'll ask myself a question if it's possible that Ashe has a sexual encounter with Stella in the Kitty route, since in that timeline she couldn't score with the mother, maybe she wants to score with the daughter ? either way it would be very hot.

Huh, hadn't heard the Siri theory, but glad the Victoria theory works for people.

Does anyone recall the cast list/connections image? Is there a way to get that included in the OP? It's very useful, but hard to find again.

Character Overview (Ep. 5)


Hey everyone!
Here's the updated character overview with all characters up until the end of Episode 5. It should help you keep track of all those names . View attachment 4404196

Use the bookmark feature on that post (it is in every post top right corner) so you can save it and go back to it whenever you need. To go quickly to the quoted post I guess you know how right? just click on the "(member) said : (up arrow thingy)" on the top of the quoted box.

Cheers, never used the bookmarks here. Though I still think it would be a good choice to add to the 1st page resources. But that will be up to a mod.

Yeah I know what you mean hehe plenty of times I see a post I should bookmark and most the times I forget and then have to waste time using the search feature hahaha. Btw i found that easy because I remembered that Jafo used "character overview" on it so was easy for me to search with those 2 keywords.

I guess you can go to the OP and use the report button there, check the last thing on it and write a suggestion for it, if they agree with you maybe they put a link in the OP, who knows . The report button isn't just to report bad things, can be used for moderators OPs to give suggestions or for them to improve confusing links or mistakes in it. I used it before for that.

Well, that might help the one asking, but if you haven't gone over this thread with a toothcomb and have no idea it even exists... having it linked in the OP would still be the better alternative...
I for one didn't know that it existed, and if you hadn't pointed to it, I still wouldn't have known.

Supporters would know. If you're that interested in the game to need that character sheet and other informations, you know what to do. Or just follow and regularly read the thread when people share supporter informations

Yeah sure, thing is, I may be interested in a game, I ain't particularly interested in what everyone else thinks of said game.
On top of that, most threads consist for a big part of just whiners complaining their personal kink isn't part of the game.
So, I mostly avoid reading every post in every thread for every game I happen to be interested in or actually play.
Doesn't mean this thread is like that, but I got better things to do. And If I happen to visit a thread, it's usually only the last page I look at, which is how I learned about this sheet. And "need" is a big word. it's useful as a reminder, but I can play the game without just fine.

Hey! Mods added the character overview to the 1st page. Thank you to everyone involved! Report button and mods to the rescue.

So theories about who the Blackmailer is aside for a moment, do we know for sure yet how much the choice with Fiona at the end of the last update will actually effect yet? Or is that one still unknown? I know sometime devs will say before their next update on some games, and I wasn't sure if that was the case here, lol.

That felt like a longer wait to see any result type of choice to me, but folks that look at the code may have a hint, if there was a named flag, or whatnot.

There is a switch that gets flipped but this dev has the general good practice of putting switches on every dialogue choice that isn't straight up fluff. Name of the switch is "day17_fiona_talk_more".

It might go unused, might be used just to change some dialogue a tad bit or be referenced in the story recap at the start of the chapters. I do not think it will be a course-changer for Fiona's content but that's also a possibility.
