VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.2 Full] [Eva Kiss]

[I'm Canadian bub]

These states needs a revise. Cuz aint no way Alex is higher than Jeremy, and Alex why and how does Seymour, Ivy and Mike all have higher Str states than Ian?? Like isnt it canon that Ian has been doing Karate and Combat Sports since a young age ?
side not. how in the hell is Wade, Lena and Perry weaker than Cindy? Lol. Is Cindy secretly super strong?

It's not overall strength but rather physicality and athleticism combined. The only one that doesn't sit right with me is Axel being higher than Jeremy, the rest seem right especially considering Ian and Lena's stats are base game stats or what they would be without our influence. Of course, I don't have the same stats in mind as Eva's character cards when playing but that's the beauty of it, we control our own imaginings of the game and Eva's storytelling leaves a lot of room for that.

Eva made some character cards years ago:

You must be registered to see the links

Thanks but I can't see them, maybe they are behind a paywall.

The stats aren't defined and a simplification of real life aspects. As videogames are prone to do.

Athletics can be strenght, fitness, knowledge of martial techniques, or the willingness to use your strenght
Wits can be emotional intelligence and creativity, but also just a larger sum of knowlegde.
Lust can be hornyness, but also sexual technique.
Charisma is also difficult to nail down.

I don't think Athletics should include specific knowledge of specific things like martial techniques or pole dancing, those should be handled separately like in Ian's case or justified by the character background like it would be in Mike and Jeremy's case. But unless we are told otherwise, Axel might be just a gym bro without any formal martial arts training. Athletics so far are used for everything even remotely related to physical activity: general coordination (from dancing to playing pool), general fitness, endurance, stamina, strenght, agility, quickness and flexibility. And in some cases, when they are related to sexual activity/tecnhiques there's an overlap with Lust where you can perform the action by either meeting the Athletics requirement or the Lust one, being Lust's requirement usually higher.

I assume strength also considers your martial knowledge. Wen has less muscles than Axel, but knows best how to use them (innuendo incoming).

No, I believe that ian's technique and knowledge in those two areas comes from how high his jiujitsu and kickboxing stats are. The physical stats allow us to do things like combos and being able to lift the opponent. Wen has good muscles but seems to have focused more on developing his arms and legs.

I logged out and can still access them when I put trading card into the search.

I suppose I could link all 20+ pics, but I'm too lazy now.

 

[Ray_D]

I can imagine Wen being secretly Seymour's hitman and could side with Ian and Lena.
I remember Wen's lust stat is "???" and may just gangbang Lena with Ian or Seymour.

Nah, wen is too busy with his jiujitsu grindset to worry about such things.

 

[Ray_D]

Maybe Mike was drunk or he wasn't expecting the sudden agression by Axel. It's difficult to establish conclusions after just one incident. IRL even if Axel has some reach and weight advantage, he shouldn't have any chance against a martial arts practicioner in a fair fight.

Well, mike is the dj, I don't think getting drunk is a good idea in his job. But we'll see how he performs when he fights ian in the tournament.

 

[Ray_D]

I don't care about the MMA/tournament, but if it allows me to beat up Axel somewhere down the line, I'm all for it.

You should care, if you really want to beat axel you will need the experience and training necessary to win the tournament.

Simple: Cindy isn't reluctant to kick guys in the balls.

You nerds are taking those meme stats way to seriously

Wait they were memes, I thought they were official haha.

 

[Gicoo]

I went on a Ian/Cindy exclusive run and in the end, Perry gave Ian a sideglance when talking about assholes like Axel ruining Cindy/Wade and he lost one or two relationship points.

On this run, Ian didn't give a good excuse when he came home after fucking Cindy (he was with "a girl"), but later on distracted Perry as best as he could when Cindy sneaked out.

If Perry truly suspects Ian, certainly he would be madder at him?

They are official. And they roughly make enough sense, there don't have implausible numbers like giving Stan 10 charisma.

Sure, I wouldn't count them as beyond reasonable doubt and keep in mind that they were a just a fun exercise to play with the characters a bit.

One day I was thinking about the defining traits of ORS characters: which stat does represent their personality the best? How do they compare between them? What attribute do they value the most and to which do they react more favorably?

In short, I decided to give them some numbers to better define them, and just for fun. It seemed a cool idea to make a presentation in the style of a trading card game. Mind you, these numbers don't share the utility value with the in-game stats, it's just a way to rank the characters from 1 to 10 in a fun, visually compelling way. I also decided to give each character a zodiac sign that would kinda match their personalities (I don't really believe in that kind of stuff, but it was fun matching archetypes).

One thing I don't understand is how Perry could suspect Ian is fucking Cindy even if you choose the worst options all the times. It's reasonable that he gets angry and suspicious of Ian hiding something but I don't get how could he make the jump to him and Cindy fucking. Specially with Axel being the most obvious suspect.

Goddamn this game thread is very active, it's that good?

Most complex game with endless branches and possibilities, choices matter. Good amount of love interests that all get at least some depth and/or drama as they interact with the rest of the cast. Sitcom-like cast and variance with fetishes (chad or cuck or inbetween, cheating and NTR is possible, as well as wholesome vanilla).

Compared with other porn games, this is on its own level and avoids the typical traps (cringy/edgy writing, soyboy protagonist with huge dick, pathetic rivals, braindumb love-interest that spread their legs after one minute and so on).

 

[ffive]

pathetic rivals

Robert: vindicated at last.

Works fine on my end, tried different variants (caps, no caps, from main page and from "games" category). Can you replicate the issue?

Go to the top of the page and see if it says "Ignore thread" or "Unignore thread", if it is the second option, click on it.
