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

[dalli_x]

1. The beauty mark is missing.
2. Bella's jaw is wider.
3. Bella's chin is shorter.
4. The bridge of her nose is completely different.
5. As is the tip of her nose and the nostril width.
6. Eye color doesn't fit. Bella's eyes are a brighter color.
7. The entire facial structure isn't anywhere near to being the same.

So really, no. The girl on the tattoo isn't Bella, this is another one of your theories that has a zero chance of being true.

Besides tattooing someone else's face on your body, especially if you don't know them or they aren't really close to you, isn't a normal thing. Like for example - I like Layne Staley and he's one of my favorite singers ever, but that doesn't mean that I'd tattoo his face on my body.

I must have scratched your goddess. That's Bella on the tattoo.

Why are you so excited? Then they just knew each other and maybe had sex with James and Bret. Oh man, Isabella was young once too and she must have had sex before the MC. After all, she is or was married.

And the thing about the eyes, the eyebrows and the eye color, fits perfectly. Heck even the make up fits.

Fanboy.

EDIT
Besides, be happy. If Isabella is open for threesome, maybe there will be Isabella/Jill/MC three sex. Unless you prefer Isabella/Derek/MC.

Unless it's really vital for the main story it's usually not really needed to show people that break up in better times....
They've been together for a certain time, they were happy, they had sex, they had a life together and now they don't...
Now if he is an abusive stalker or she robbed him blind that's usually things that are being used for the story simply because that sort of behavior can influence their next relations. Info like Chad not having sex due to steroids to justify No NTR seems over the top to me.... who cares.... and besides that, why doesn't Troy complain about it... And being witness to a peaceful breakup where both act like reasonable adults wishing the other goodluck... well... come on... Sage and Chad were in a toxic relation, we've seen their acting towards each other from the day they started arguing at your table... So what is a good time to bring their good memories into the story and with what goal?

In Sage's example, we saw none of her but the "crazy jealous bitch" phase.
In Maya's example, we saw none of her but the "depressed and lonely sad sack" phase.

Yet by their own admissions, they are at low points in their lives. I know for a fact a lot of people hate Maya specifically because we saw nothing but that, and I'm far from the first person IN THIS VERY THREAD that suggested Maya specifically needed more screen time in flashbacks to flesh out her character.

This has been a hot debate in both ep 5-6 wait, ep 6-7 wait AND ep 7-8 wait. How many times we've all seen type a comment that basically boils down to "Maya/Josy does not work at all, we see nothing but drama, this doesnt make sense!"?

It basically comes up like a clockwork every 2 months.

That's not Bella let's keep it at that... though I would very much appreciate that hit from the bong...

How dare you imply that Bella had sex with anyone else other than the MC?!?

We already decided that all the women in the game are virgins when they met the MC, even Nicole who gave birth to a child before she met him, but she's still a virgin.

 

[vogelbeest]

This is basically a short version of a Dalli theory.

from time to time you just might hit something big...

Hmmm, i liked that chess club advice to the guy in the hallway and some text appearing in Rusty's room or not, depending on your advice to go or not after the Dik mansion got trashed, alot better.
Haven't checked it yet, but the nerds being involved might have some credibility, if i would put money on who could have put spyware in the Dik laptop to leak that Jade vid i would certainly not think it's the Alpha's, Quinn maybe but the nerds? for sure!

I think that whoever leaked the Cathy photo and the Jade video leaker are the same person. I don't think it's Vinny, that would be too obvious and it isn't in DPC's style to do it.

I also don't think it's Nick or Leon, as both IMO are red herrings.

Weirdly though, there is someone sneaking past outside when MC is first sleeping in his room. The lights flash and you can barely tell the crouched figure.

Jamie losing his phone is weird. So another possibility is whoever took Jamie's phone probably still has access to the folders, so that might be it.

Yeah... i see it! if you look really good at the eyebrows, there's no denying they both have them!
A more concerning thing however is i too seem to have eyebrows.....
Anybody else having them? If yes, we now established the fact we all spoke or written about eyebrows, and therefor we must be Zoey!

1. The beauty mark is missing.
2. Bella's jaw is wider.
3. Bella's chin is shorter.
4. The bridge of her nose is completely different.

so now the question is: why did Bret make her so dissimilar from Bella despite clearly being Bella? what did he want to hide? what is Bret's last name?

It clearly is Isabella, the fact that it looks nothing like her is due to the tattooist failing to click on the blue balls fast enough.

The gorilla that is joining or not the chess club is just in urgent need of anger management so for a rough up or a B&E and toss he's the perfect specimen... but those two little fuckers like the one with the drone the other that get's condomed with piss nonetheless are a good candidate for spying... and more

Well, for both we also have the happier events including the MC, Chad found another partner and is not a likely factor of importance in Sage's next relation. Josy and Maya pretty much the same story, they are still together no matter if you're on their path or not. Now is it credible they are still together? Well, if they weren't together the whole free tuition storyline would crumble.... There's no reason for Maya to go after that tuition if she's not in a relation with Josy, that's the part that is troubling and why it comes back every few months, not so much the fact we only have a few Josy & Maya only scenes.
It's a story been told by the MC, it's his POV, so he will not see everything, that's just not possible but aslong we get the info that's vital for the story it works for me.

I'd agree with this "story from MC's pov" argument if it wasn't for one problem.

DPC doesnt hold true that rule himself. Story is full of instances of flashbacks, cut aways and secondary events in real time happening in which MC isn't present for, or has no knowledge of. In that sense, we're highly asymmetrical to the protagonist of the story in terms of knowledge we have as audience versus what knowledge he has as MC.

This disconnect, paired with lack of context on certain characters, are the root cause of complaints about certain characters lacking character or depth or being plain unlikeable.

If DPC had strictly done this story sans flashback, no cutaways, all from MC's PoV, maybe.

As it is right now, no, this is just uneven.

i don't think so, is too superficial

Maya has the problem of free tuition as long as she likes women or rather as long as she doesn't want her father to decide what she should like
in fact she works for the free tuition even when she thinks that Josy won't come to the BR anymore, it is less urgent, but the problem was already present.

but I quite agree with the rest of your reasoning

 

[Deleted member 1796292]

Have a question here, I'm assuming that this story can affect any of the paths of the other girls, or it's just a standalone? I'm sorry for my dumbness but, i have my saves separated (one for each character) and i don't know if the Interlude can affect them. Thank you.

 

[I Love These Games]

Ok, let's pray there are more big-ass Sage scenes in the next update. See you in July.

Well, technically MC involved in a Maya path not including Josy would mean her father is happy and no reason for the tuition.
But more importantly and that's why Maya and Josy will always be a given couple, is the fact Burke's tuition requires Maya to deliver sex, there has to be a credible reason for her to even consider it, there's no threat at all coming from the Burke scheme if Maya has no reason at all to be even thinking about accepting that deal, same way Patrick needs to remain the blackmailing and unreasonable used carsales man he is now. We can argue about each of these factors if they are valid or not, but they as total are the crux of that story.... They don't work without the other....

MC decides to help Maya with the scavenger hunt when Maya is convinced she will never see Josy again, it's a fact, it's in the story.

that Burke would try to involve Maya in the restaurant, besides being extremely unlikely (Burke would involve a girl that his stepdaughter asked to help out?, if it had been Quinn it would have made some sense, in another game, but at this point it seems really unlikely), it remains to be seen. and even the presence of Josy would not be enough to convince Maya...
In my opinion, even the fact that Burke was proposing something to her goes beyond the self-imposed NO-NTR limits.

if we reduce everything to Josy: in this precise moment of the story, what threat does Patrick represent? very, very marginal, he forces the girls to live their story in the shadows, which they would have basically done anyway (several times they show themselves afraid of people's judgment on their relationship)

If you are talking about the Interlude release, it is a prelude to Season 3 of the story. But none of it affects any of the characters in any of the previous 2 Seasons... yet. It remains to be seen how much (if any) effect it will have on future releases. Variables are saved, however, which should have some effect.

A new character is introduced who (it is assumed) will impact the life of the MC and those around him. How that impact plays out will depend on us in future choices, as DrPinkCake allows us to make them.

DPC does very well to avoid looking for trouble, since even with all precautions some hysteria has triggered the same

but it is undeniable that this caution narratively creates problems: when you are forced to be so platonic even in handling a flashback of a married woman and that becomes so unnatural that people are convinced that rather than sexually active, it is better that Bella is half crazy and talk to dead people

and that's just one example

I think that whoever leaked the Cathy photo and the Jade video leaker are the same person. I don't think it's Vinny, that would be too obvious and it isn't in DPC's style to do it.

I also don't think it's Nick or Leon, as both IMO are red herrings.

It could very well be Tommy. Judging by the results of episode 8, he turns into a complete asshole and the fact that he leaked Cathy's photos only adds nuances to his image, concretizes him as a complete ass.

1) He is constantly in search of weed and when he is deprived of it, he looks for any opportunity to find it
2)We know that Vinnie sells weed for more than Quinn. Where did Tommy get the money for weed anyway?
3)When Cathy's photos were leaked, Tommy was not there in the dance hall.
4) Tommy was talking to Quinn on the second floor. He could have been in cahoots.
5)It feels like Tommy is working for Quinn. He served as a distributor of weed.

MC decides to help Maya with the scavenger hunt when Maya is convinced she will never see Josy again, it's a fact, it's in the story.

Well, at that point you can say Maya is just trying to break away from her father for her own freedom.
But Josy getting back in the picture just is another motivation to continue on that path, while chosing a solo path with MC would remove her motivation or atleast greatly diminish the need to break free.

Burke would never involve anybody in the restaurant, that's Quinn's, he only does the tuition scheme.
Camilla does the restaurant but has nothing to do with Burke except being staff of B&R.
So Burke gonna tell he will look into it but he will say it's unlikely but he will do the utmost.... And he will not deliver because it will get tricky with the HOT's in his little scheme (drama!) or Quinn will suggest Maya to have sex with Burke to get it (drama!).

As for no NTR... since when is that a reason to refrain from implying things? It's not like you will see a npc saying "you can't rape me, since no NTR!" makes alot sense storywise...

The whole thing however is the moment Maya will be put at the choice to fuck Burke for that tuition, we as players must be convinced she just might do it.... Else there's absolutely no threat coming from that scenario.... pff. Burke. Okay. what next?
