VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[dontehall2023]

His feeling bad for rejecting Zoey is almost surely to also have effect on the relationship. MC is quite often easy enough to read for the MGs, so you can be pretty sure it will be visible to Sage as well that something (new) is weighing on him the next time they're going to have a one-on-one talk.

You're making assumptions. If you're on Sage's path he sends lovely messages to her showing zero indication that he feels guilty that Zoey confessed her love to him. And who is he going to feel bad with if you are on the "Others" path? Because this same message happens on that path.

My argument isn't that he doesn't feel bad about rejecting Zoey. But what does feeling bad about rejecting Zoey have to do with Tremolo's conscience eating away at him to the point he has to tell Sage what happened?

Tremolo has been shown to care about the feelings of his friends. Why would Zoey be any different. Of course he is going to show concern for her feelings.

I feel like we have gone way off the original discussion.

The message after the DIK BBQ isn't canon. It's a choice. And what does the message he sends to Zoey after rejecting her have to do with his conscience in regards to his love interest? You send that same message if you're in a relationship or not.

You speak about canon when in reality, there is no canon since the start of the game. We know a few things are cannon which are the major events but minor events such as LIs are not cannon, example chillout's LI run is way different than my LI interest run. But back to the point, he sends that message or choice after dumping his feelings (Guilt?) on her.

Yes I'm making assumptions, but that is all we can do right now. The assumptions I made however are based on by the personalities we know of the MG's and of MC. It doesn't matter if MC is in a relationship or not. As I stated, chances are high in some relationships (like Sage), that the partner will notice in one of the upcoming heart-to-heart conversations there is something troubling MC. If MC isn't in a relationship, then he simply feels bad.

There is definitely canon the whole way through. If something happens that will happen regardless of your choices it is regarded as canon and will happen on every single path that anyone could possibly make.

E.g. Burkes getting divorced is canon, but whether Jade gets half the money is not canon.
Or: Tremolo having a tantrum when Josy arrives at B&R and storming out is canon. Staying with Sage is not canon.

So, the message to Zoey is canon, because it happens, no matter what. (Why he sent it and how he feels about it, is open to your interpretation).

 

[Jace Me]

Hello guys can anyone share the pure Zoey save to start this 11th ep for me, or a save where we don't reject Zoey in this update. Would be really appreciated, thanks.

I agree. I have tried every path including Alone and Others and it always ends with "Its too late" I HATE this Kinetic Novel BS...Too many I have encountered things like this.

And that is what I am trying to say that why he sent it or how he feels is up in the air that ultimately lies on DPC to explain in the next episode on why the MC does this.

Did he feel bad during the Christmas dinner? He didn't seem affected too much by the confession before Derek amputated his finger. Or after confessing his feelings to Zoey during the BBQ, feeling bad about it & then proceeded to have sex with Sage in his tent.

Until stated otherwise, Tremolo is not having a crisis of conscience based on Zoey's confession. It may happen. Or it may be a nothing burger. We'll find out.

Just because sometimes in Tremolo's history he feels he has to speak out about things, doesn't mean he does it every time. Case in point Jade. He feels bad about it. But Sage hasn't caught on to his feelings yet. And until this episode, there were no real consequences.

 

[Jace Me]

I have, so far, found no path where the mc cannot decide accept or reject zoey. Not sage, not j&m, not others, not bella.

I agree. I don't understand why she has become a "Throwaway" Character... What a waste and I'm done for good.

 

[dontehall2023]

That was never the discussion. Obviously DPC will flesh out the fallout of Zoey's choice in EP12. The discussion is does that text indicate that Tremolo is having a crisis of conscience & has to tell his love interest that Zoey confessed her love to him. And it doesn't. It happens on every path that you reject Zoey on. Relationship or not.

Oh ok, I wasn't really following the conversation. I was just responding to the no canon comment.

But I'm with you, how he feels at the moment is open to interpretation.
(And personally, I'm hoping that we get some player agency from here on to decide how he feels).

 

[NotEthan;P]

also we was preparing Sage to this. ufc fight Sage vs Zoey. or some WWE shit so Sage could use guitar as weapon.

I still think no matter what happens in the game or who MC is dating, his guitar won't survive for some reason or another xD

Just because he does so on every route including single, doesn't remove the insinuation that the text shows that Tremolo probably has a crisis of conscience.

Has Sage picked up anything Jade related to this point? Either he can hide his feelings or he can't. Your argument is that in this one instance he won't be able to hide his feelings. What's a bigger secret to keep under wraps?

In some cases he wears his feelings on his sleeve. And on others he's great at keeping his emotions in check.

She has picked up something is wrong at least once and if I'm not mistaken a few times, you can see that for example when MC is having sex with her and instead of Sage he sees Jade for a moment. MC just talks around it/lies about it and Sage doesn't follow up on it (yet).

Are you talking about the sex scene from his conversation with Derek during Halloween? Because that happens whether you did anything with Jade or not.

If you mean the conversation: True, but the context for it changes, which is important.
MC does not always see Jade fucking him in that scenario however.

 

[L1m1tl3ss]

Ahh ok people do come up with some out in left field theories like I've done before and continue to do like the whole Chad batting for the home team I said that theory in the discord and everybody said I was just pulling theories outta my ass well guess what I was right.

Most don't take Dalli's posts seriously because of how ridiculous some of them have been in the past. But even a broken clock is right twice a day. Let's just say that there are a lot of people in the BaDIK community who like to think of themselves as skeptics, but really they're the opposite. They keep repeating the same stuff everybody else does over and over again without any basis for it. Or they stick to one thing and reject any other ideas that are just as credible simply because they don't like them. Equally as stupid. It's more interesting to read posts where the writer takes some creative freedom in what they write instead of posting the same theories that always come up anyhow, which aren't even that good.

That's true. But he has kept it under wraps to this point. It has been months since he found out about their relationship to each other. He feels guilty. But his guilt hasn't triggered him to tell Sage. So there's a precedent that he is not obligated to tell his chosen love interest about his conversation with Zoey.

Will he? Maybe. Regardless, that text doesn't mean he feels compelled to tell anyone anything about Zoey. He operates immediately afterwards perfectly fine.

Probably this:
View attachment 4694245

It can give a heavy burden on someone's conscience if you hurt someone you consider a friend.

After what her friend did, i expect there will be someone burning for this.
My theory. Josy and Maia will stay toghetter. and then eventually a house is being burned with both of them inside. so wich one will you choose. save josy and face the wrath of Derek, his dad, their mom and the Hots for not saving Maia. or will you save Maia and face the wrath of Tommy, his mom, his stephdad, Josy's mom and the Hots for not saving Josy?

Meanwhile, for rejecting her, she will use some other peaple who dislike MC/Diks to damage the MC.
to name a list: Magnar, Tybalt, Dawe, Vinny.
And whe is propably gonna try being close to MC by using Jacob and some of his fellow Diks to uncover some secrets.
All the while pretending to be friends with MC and Diks.

Offcourse, this is a theory, but the pieces are already in place, and this way we'll get the ending we gotten last game.

And to finish it all off, they're all nephews of Zoey
