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

[Lagunavii]

Spock gonna be first in line of all those upset people

I've seen it said quite alot, but I don't see how Nikita could be a trap. I mean yeah you can see Bianca a mile off, but Cinders... I don't see anything.

I can see her only being a possible trap if she's a relative to someone we can also date or someone we hate.

I seriously doubt DPC would put more than 1 of those in this game though.

Like I said before, I see her as the obvious path to go if MC has thus far remained single without tying up with any other girl. No matter what your choice is, she'll always be at the end summary screen if you're not with any other OG side girl. I screwed both Tara & Tiffany on that run and what do you know? I still got Cindy & MC in the lab summary scene at the end. It's clear that she's going to have a bigger role in episode 12. Though that's not saying much since at this point she's just a curiosity/interest for MC.

Compliments about appearance can be flirting, but aren't always and it's silly to suggest otherwise. You have to consider context, tone, body language, and intent.

"Your new haircut looks great" is a compliment and delivered in a neutral manner is not flirting. It's the type of thing I say to friends all the time and no one thinks I'm flirting with them.

"Damn, your new haircut is sexy. I'd love to run my fingers through it" while you get close to them obviously is flirting.

Both are positive statements about their appearance, but obviously very different.

We'll have to just agree to disagree on this one. To me, the very first case can be very much a low-key flirting, while your later example is a case blatant to the point of being crass.

Heck, even some of simple pickup lines boil down to nothing more than "oh your eyes/hair/lips/whatever are so pretty". With none of the creepy sexual intentions on the face of it. But as you say, the context, tone and etc all matter, so unless you always deliver your compliments in completely wooden manner and trying to appear as uninterested as possible, odds are it will be taken as flirting in at least some cases.

Would people call it "cheating"? Probably not, but it's honestly better to think of "tc" not as times cheated but as a tracker of smaller indiscretions.

Except the consequence of accumulating a few of these "small indiscretions" is to block the MC from declaring love for their partner. Which was the whole point how the consequences of those choices are potentially way overblown, something you've chosen to argue against.

Would be screwed if Micha goes after MC when we take over the role of DIK presidency.

Why are some of you obsessed with MC becoming president of the DIKs? Isn't it better to keep things the way they are? MC as the de facto leader is more interesting.

It's like Rusty and Tommy are his puppets and MC is actually the one controlling everything behind the scenes. #LIKEABOSS

Well... somebody needs to become the president when Rusty and Tommy graduate/leave B&R

That is the point sometimes you don't see it coming. Wouldn't it be something if DPC actually planned it that way distract everyone with Bianca and then Cinderella sneak under the radar.

It's definitely that way at the min, I think the whole Frat knows Tremolo is the guy, just like an unspoken truth

 

[Lagunavii]

Well... somebody needs to become the president when Rusty and Tommy graduate/leave B&R

Which isn't happening for another year and a half... It took 12 episodes to get through one semester. With 3 semesters to go before Rusty/Tommy Graduate and at most 5 episodes to go we would need a serious change of pace....

Spoiler: Lily

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

For me...one of the most erotic Scenes i have ever seen in a VN. You can see lust, love, craving.... They just click together...and she must be protected. Behind her emotional stone wall is a gentle, lovely and caring Women with a heart made of gold. She would die for you....

I really hope that DPC allows Lily to have a serious relationship with MC (#pleasedontkillher)...! I reeeeally like to see a wedding Scene...

I emphasize this because DPC is a guy who appearently likes to dispose an LI.... and not in a good way (#actinglessons)

I have not played acting lessons, but Lilly might be the most interesting and layered love interest in the entire game. Definetly want a solo romance option, but holy jeez do not kill her.

And this man is CHANG !

 

[Kodek]

Ti's why I'm eagerly awaiting the next Q&A. At the last he said minimum 14 needed maximum 16, with the last season being different due to endings...

Unfortunately the stories are all coming to a head now, so short of some massive time jumps we might not have enough content to make Valentine's Day never mind spring break.

Regardless, We will only know how much the next episode is going to add coming june next year... so yeah, we are pretty much screwed until them.

But I put most of the blame on how DPC made Vixens...who would guess that a 1 night episode would screw the time line? We should have had way more time than this. But there's no dice that he NEEDS to do spring break. It's not even a question, this has been getting hyped too long for it to not appear. I guess DPC is going to strech his agenda more than 16. I would make a giant ass epilogue just for the endings, no way people would be satisfied otherwise.

 

[Chillout1984]

It wouldn't be the first time DPC would do that (at least for me).

I used an extreme example for the second one to illustrate a point. But whatever, can move on.

Regarding the later item, the accumulation of points blocks you from declaring love this Episode. We actually don't know yet if we'll get further opportunities. In a way, that kind of makes sense. If MC is still flirting and fooling around, perhaps he's not quite sure enough yet about his feelings to declare love.

Edit: I do agree that having the choice removed from the player entirely is probably annoying. If it were me, I'd probably have kept the option, but changed how LIs respond, like "Well, then why are you still flirting with others?" or something.

We probably won't even see it happen. When Rusty and Tommy came to B&R, Sage had already been at B&R for a year. The order from oldest to youngest is:

Sage / Chad (6 months left)
Jill / Tommy / Rusty / Vinny / Nick (18 months left)
John Boy / Jacob (24 months left)
Leon / Jamie (30 months left) *joined the DIKs 6 months after arriving at B&R;
MC / Derek / Maya / Josy (42 months left)

What a twist, the nerds boutta get CHANG'D

I want to say that I couldn't give less of a fuck for Cindy whatever she is called. Too much exposition too fast, the obvious outcome is her being a trap, since there's not nearly enough time for her to actually grow as a character and be important enough. She didn't grow on me at least, not even a little. She needs more screen time if she ever going to get some spotlight.
But I shudder while writing this since I'm getting the full rage Spock now. I've already called Bella a snake to his face.

It's definitely that way at the min, I think the whole Frat knows Tremolo is the guy, just like an unspoken truth

MC is respected by everyone at the frat for getting the mansion back in working order, not to mention that the parties are the bomb and even Tommy by episode 11 is having a really good time at the Panty Party.

Jacob, John Boy and Rusty from what I can tell have the highest opinion of him. Jamie and Leon have the second best and Tommy is either second best or third best depending if you're on Josy & Maya path or not. But generally, MC is well liked by the whole frat. It shows how Tommy stands up for MC during the argument with Nick, showing that he had his back even if he's usually a dick about it.

Also remember...Tommy asked MC to watch out for Josy during Halloween, not any other DIK. It showed the level of trust that he placed on MC, I doubt Tommy would've asked him if he didn't trust him that much. He would've asked Jacob, Rusty or maybe Leon instead.

It might not even take the next episode, as I said the Q&A should be quite telling. If he comes back with a similar estimate.... Somethings may be nothing more than a quick mention in an on rails ending. If it's increased that's good news all round.
