VN Ren'Py Harem Hotel [v0.18.2] [Runey]

[TomberryDude]

Yes she is. Having a justification for the insanity doesn't lessen the insanity. She still pulls knives on people, tries to force people to take drugs without consent, and tries to kill friendly "people" (android).

I used to think similarly about the knife pulling until the last update. Not second to last, when we got the backstory. But the last one (0.8). Her latest story event definitely convinced me she isn't crazy. She can act crazy. But that's a facade. Saying more is entering super spoilers territory.

She doesn't force you to take the pills. She gets disappointed but you can refuse to swallow them. The paradox killing the android was a joke, Ashley's also not that dumb.

Ashley has never seriously considered killing someone. Her pulling a knife on people is a defensive thing she's learned as a child. I guess that does make her quite crazy, but she's not inherently crazy. I think part of the reason people like this new side of Ashley is because people can understand she's struggling with her past and people want to help her. There was also quite the story arc revolving around her keeping a mask on to survive. She's able to take that mask off with people she trusts, and that's what she's now trying to do.

Crazy does not require violence. It requires behaviour outside societal norms and is hard to suppress/rationally explain. Her craziness happens to include (mostly mock) violence. And she deliberately tried to "kill" android with her plan B "This statement is false." Luckily, it didn't work, but she had no way to know that. She's pretty crazy.

Don't forget screaming "rape her" in the movies.

tbh, it's kind of awkward to start a comment like this, but imma say it! we Need more Ellen she has a real lack of content, also i got a question Runey... Are we ever gonna be able to turn Maria into a prim and proper lady without the nipple ring and with other cute clothes? idk why, but seeing Maria in her "good girl" clothes makes me happy, she's adorable

Crazy is as crazy does. If one acts crazy, one is crazy. I don't think she qualifies as categorically insane, but definitely crazy. Justification doesn't reduce craziness and perhaps she can be redeemed in the future, but that's potential only.

That was a joke

 

[Runey]

Don't forget screaming "rape her" in the movies.

Also a joke...

I mean, these things are in line with the characters. But in no way was Ashley actually trying to murder android, or actually wishing someone got raped.

 

[sillyrobot]

That was a joke

OK. It doesn't play that way. Especially since she couldn't know how the just-met only-sentient-robot-in-existence would act upon its receipt.

"I didn't mean to kill her! It was just a joke!" is said by crazy people.

At that point I don't even know what to say. Liking violent movies and/or yelling "get him,stab him" or some such is common fun most people do.

Crazy is as crazy does. If one acts crazy, one is crazy.

Damnit if that isn't the most closed-minded thing I've read this week.

She's not a robot she's a beautiful woman you wallnut.

I assume the player is smart enough to catch on to these things.

"This statement is false" is a common logic paradox. How silly is it that a girl tried to use the same thing on a newly introduced sentient android? Imagine that, if the dev killed off a main character right there. Kind of silly when you explain the joke.

It plays as a joke for audience because of how Ashley escalates to it and the android's response. It's only funny if Ashley is serious.

 

[icesun]

In my opinion Ashley is definitely in the category "damaged goods" (like almost any other girl in this game in some way, although I'd say she had the toughest pill to swallow (at least of the non-Elves) with her childhood and the way she was treated at school and so on) - this resulted in her Yandere personality and the way she treats other people and won't let them close to her / see the real her... ...she's surely the most vulnerable of them all if one was able to find a way behind her stainless steel facade, but that's just it - a facade...


...so: just be true and nice to her - show her that life can be something else than shit - and she'll most likely be more thankful and loving than the others in the end...

What am I doing wrong, Lins heart is 28, obedience 45, sluttiness 65, exhibitions 13, sub 7, I have every trait except for the foot fetish one.

The rape comment, not so sure on, I knew a girl who wanted to be raped, something to do with her being abused as a kid.

 

[allenandarth]

Ash is kind of crazy, so i see the whole "rape" thingy you guys are discussing as her joking, because she isn't normal, you can't reason with Crazy...also you should only stick your dick in crazy if it's in a porn game

 

[Omega Deose]

Hey, crazy girls need lovin' too. You just need to be careful, know what you're getting into (hur hur hur), and be sure you can handle it.

 

[bitchicon]

Does anyone know how to deal with the kali package problem? I can't seem to bring it anywhere and it's preventing me from receiving other stuffs

 

[Omega Deose]
