Ren'Py The Headmaster [Mykock's Manor Ch.3] [Altos and Herdone]

[TheDevian]

I think that’s a misreading of Greek drama.

It’s early April. Let’s go to the theatre at the Akropolis. Let’s see a tragedy.

In this tragedy, lost to history, Zeus kidnaps Europa for some sexy times. Europa’s brother Cadmus goes searching for her. The Oracle of Delphi tells him to stop searching for his sister and instead to follow a cow, and found a city where it sets down. Thus he founds the city of Thebes.

That’s a story, with an ending, right?

Let’s take in another play.

After the founding of Thebes, Cadmus’ men go to get water at a spring, but a dragon sacred to Ares guards the spring. The dragon slays Cadmus’ men, so he slays the dragon. Ares is furious. For killing the serpent, Cadmus spends eight years serving Ares. Afterwards, as a reward, Ares gives his daughter Harmonia (mothered by Aphrodite) to be Cadmus’ bride.

That’s a story, with an ending, right?

And that’s it for this year’s festival.

We return the next year. Let’s catch another play.

In this play, Cadmus’ daughter Semele gives birth to Dionysus, and later sees Zeus in his true form and dies.

It’s a great play, and it has an ending, right?

And another play is about Cadmus’ grandson Pentheus (this is The Bacchae by Euripides). King Penthus tries to ban the spreading cult of Dionysus. Cadmus’ daughter Agave, drunk and in the throes of Dionysus, rips the head off Pentheus, Cadmus’ grandson.

A complete story with an ending, right?

We catch another play, set elsewhere, in Pisa. King Tantalus invites the gods to a feast. He murders his son Pelops and feeds him to the gods. The gods eat Pelops’ shoulder, but, realizing what they’ve done, they resurrect Pelops and condemn Tantalus to Hades, where he is punished forever, surrounded by delicious food while he starves.

Good play! That’s a story, with an ending, right?

But then we watch another play. Pelops — the same whose shoulder was eaten by gods — is king of Pisa now. He holds court, where he receives a refugee named Laius. Laius is the son of Kadmus (seen before). Laius rapes Pelops’ son Chrysippus, and is cursed for it: he will be murdered by his own son.

Complete story?

We go see another play. Laius reclaims the throne of Thebes, marries Jocasta, has a son named Oedipus…

I’m sure you know THAT play.

And maybe you get the point I’m trying to make?

Because OEDIPUS is AN EPISODE of Greek drama.

It is A PLAY.

It is AN UPDATE, like an update of The Headmaster.

OEDIPUS THE KING is part of an endlessly proliferating series of stories that build a thorough, all-encompassing world of mythologies.

In the Theban cycle, Oedipus’s story is followed by Seven Against Thebes, and then Antigone, and then Oedipus at Colonus.

But the Pisan cycle continues too. Pelops has a son, Agamemnon, you’ve probably heard of him too.

And then there are Orestes and Elektra, the son and daughter of Agamemnon.

That is her box?! And I wanted to have fun with her box.

You wanted to put something there perhaps?

Better put something in Pandora's box than letting something out of her box (again).

 

[ccxvidonaferens]

Better put something in Pandora's box than letting something out of her box (again).

Yes, but once you've put it in remember you'll never be able to remove it again. You know... for the good of all mankind and all that.

 

[Knight_of_the_lance]

Yes, but once you've put it in remember you'll never be able to remove it again. You know... for the good of all mankind and all that.

It's fine he's a robot he must have spare parts lying around, perhaps an even better one waiting for the current one to get worn out.

Edited to try to keep the transliteration of Cadmus consistently romanized, not Kadmus.

I understand your argument, but I think it's flawed.

I agree that Greek tragedies followed a formula of evolving stories, but each of those stories was complete within its own context. The point is, an ending doesn't have to be the final part of a story - it just needs to provide meaning and closure to what has already happened. When a story drags on endlessly, it starts to lose its original purpose.

If you want to compare it to something modern - it's not like "updates" it's more like sequels. Sequels continue the story of previous works, sure, but that doesn’t change the fact that both the original and the sequel typically tell a complete, self-contained story.

Either you're not even close to the end of the content currently available, or you just somehow missed on scenes, which I think is impossible unless you purposefuly went into the script to delete them. So Imma assume it's the former.

Also handjobs and bj are sexual in nature. Enjoy what you already got, it will make the wait more bearable, and keep playing.

Also don't you read the dialogues ? The end game is to have every girls pass their exams, not to have sex with every one of them you weirdo.

the fuck?

stripping, punishing them, AND receiving hjs & bjs from multiple students just for them to ultimately pass their exams?? and you have the audacity to cite all that then call the guy a weirdo??? LMAOO

you're the weirdo if that story makes any sense to you, weirdo.

What did you expect?
This is a porn game that not even the most morally questionable that a porn protagonist has done.

First of:

Spoiler

Second:
Believe it or not, things can have multiple effects and purposes, as much in real life as in fictions.
For example, you can want the girls to pass their exams and be happy in life, and at the same time wants to receive BJs and HJs from them everytime you want. Pushing it so far is completely unnecessary for them, yet necessary for a porn game. Hence, the joke.

If it was just "Gnagna get to a school and fuck them all" without nothing else behind it, this game would be super boring. The Headmaster's persona works because he's anal about having the girls pass their exams (and prove his theory about discipline). Everything else is just him (and us) taking advantage of the situation to go multiple steps further into the manipulation and get some snu-snu.

Third thing:
Please put some capital letters at the beginning of your sentences. This hurt my feelings more than being called a weirdo.

You'll find all this on page 1 of this discussion "https://f95zone.to/threads/the-headmaster-mykocks-manor-ch-3-altos-and-herdone.23470/"


By the way : Using capital letters at first words in line and questioning look much better.

Ngl wish Mykock's Manor Special has a separate page when ever I hope to see the headmaster get updated that useless side story gets updated instead, kinda wish the dev just focused on the main game.

What is mykocks manor about?

Basically, it is a short questionnaire for their supporters, with visuals.

 

[TonyMurray]

What is mykocks manor about?

It's basically a Patron poll, in story format. If you're not a Patron, pretty much the only benefit of it is to get a preview of some (potential) upcoming changes, and I guess to view some boobs that are not otherwise in the game. You get to preview the options in a game environment, rather than just as "flat" images, and then cast you vote from the provided options.

is there a way to play the game as female protag or plans in future

[Username1337]

life goes on forever, it doesn’t *end*, it simply moves on to new characters; so why should our stories have these weird, imposed notions of endings? The happily-ever-afters are stomach turning, but so are unsatisfactories, unanswered questions, etc.

In another world, Game of Thrones is still running, without the sabotage of an imposed ending, and virtually 100% of fans are far happier.

Game of Thrones isn't still running, it's been trying to crawl out of its grave for decades lmao and guess what? The author is going to die and the story ends anyway. That's why stories are great. They end before we die. The fact that you think no ending is a good thing means you wouldn't know a good story if it slapped you on the ass. Hell, the most critically appreciated stories are the ones that ended instead of being left unfinished due to abandonment, cancellation, death, etc. A good story has a good ending. Anything else is a cash grab, or a lack of creative direction.

To be clear, I don't care about these games not having an ending, but I do agree that plenty of creators on patreon are milking it. Want infinite new girls, locations, events, etc? At least try finishing things as you go. Set a foundation of a game then build on it instead of half-assing everything.
