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

[grarg]

Is she manipulating?
I've heard about it so many times here. But that's really bullshit.
It is impossible to manipulate an adult self-sufficient person.
She provides a choice, offers a deal. Yes, it may be a shitty deal sometimes, but that's life.
I take this opportunity to ask you, and anyone who reads this, how many times has someone manipulated you?
For example, no one manipulated me. Never.
Therefore, I cannot accept this argument. I don't believe it.
And as for whether she should die, fortunately it is not for us to decide, not for me, and not for you.

The drug-dealing pimp isn't manipulating people? Is barely honest with her feelings, until the end of episode 11?

Isn't working behind the scenes for a sex ring for a "free tuition" scheme?

She's not just a "bad girl" in looks and attitude.

Mona, the corollary basis for Maya's predicament, just made a "bad deal"? Quinn isn't to blame at all?

And if you don't like redemption plots, to each their own, but there's nothing wrong with them (e.g. Londo from Babylon 5). In fact, they're actually quite good, as the redeemer is never satisfied trying to absolve themselves, and learns to better themselves. Which I think Quinn seemed to be doing in the end of the episode, with more vindictive methods.

She was not scared of what was inside. That's not what I meant.
It was fear of the reaction of those that were seeing the inside. And Bella most probably won't scream when scared, she would open her eyes wide and freeze in place.

Oh mb, you were talking about Bella, I was talking about the MC and Maya

 

[f96zonetrooper]

I don't think it was fear, if it was fear she would have said nothing while remaining motionless, or she would have screamed or put her hands in front of her mouth, etc

I think it's just something disturbing (shrine / room full of photos / baby room / room full of guns)

If you go back a couple years :
In one of the first Episodes mc takes a glimpse at the (dark) room from angle below the door.

Someone had lightened up the image and posted it here.
I remember some boots for outdoor activities, nothing special.

What do you guys think is behind the locked door in Bella's room? I took a screen shot and brightened the picture, and after seeing what it revealed, I'm inclined to think that James is really there, probably in a catatonic state, sitting in a wheelchair!

Mona, the corollary basis for Maya's predicament, just made a "bad deal"? Quinn isn't to blame at all?

And who stopped Mona from insisting on her own?
If she knew she was right, she shouldn't have given in to Quinn and left.
What could they have done to her?
But she got scared, she gave in, and she lost.
So Mona should blame herself first and foremost for her failure.

Okay. I did a thing (no more important/unimportant as where this thread has been consistently going)
I don't do favourites well and I'll simp for most any of these characters at any given moment. So, I started a simp cheat sheet so that we can all easily reference who my ideal LI is on any given calendar day. In order to qualify my picks, I first had to quantify them mathematically using simple astronomical and meteorological calculations. I proudly present-
My BaDIK Simple Simp List (1.01):
Odd Years:
Sun- Sage
Mon- Maya
Tue- Josy
Wed- Jill
Thu- Throuple (Maya/Josy)
Fri- Bella
Sat- Quinn
Even Years:
Sun- Lily
Mon- Sally
Tue- Nicole
Wed- Zoey
Thu- Throuple (Nicole/Lily)
Fri- Nora
Sat- Riona
Every Blue Moon (2nd full moon of a single calender month) Mondays switch to Bianca & Karen, Fridays turn to Cathy & Jade respectively.
Every Blood moon (Earth's moon in Total lunar eclipse) Any 1 (one) of any other non main LI (SG, Vixen, Dorm, etc.)
Every Leap year- Lydia for exactly 8 days starting Feb 29th.
NOTE: In case of Zoey causing a Total Eclipse of the Heart, Derek replaces her as LI.
In Leap years, he is replaced with Philip (the GOAT).
Today I simp for Bella! ( with all apologies to Better Cock Spock )

Derek: Thanks!

OK, yes, she did. She was doing it for her own gains.

You just described a manipulator.

"Manipulation means pressuring others, sometimes in sneaky ways, to get what you want. The person doing the manipulating, called the manipulator, seeks to be in control. They're usually very good at reading emotions but use that skill to pick up on your weaknesses and take advantage of you."

So I had a very interesting conversation with one of my friends who's in the Medfield earlier today. Specifically about Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), aka the disease that maya and derek's mom have.

and well... I think maya didn't inherit it but instead derek did. Why? He's lack of hangovers might be a sign of it.

Take note, I'm not in the field of medicine and I'm just relaying what my friend said but when I asked him if a lack of hangovers could be a potential sign of early RA. He said not exactly but it could be and there's somewhat of a correlation based from what he learned and it could go a few ways

1. Excessive alcohol consumption may increase the chances of triggering a genetic autoimmune disease like RA. However moderate consumption of alcohol may also numb the inflammation that RA causes if one is already diagnosed with it. Now this is definitely bad considering that Derek lives a party life style because of the DIKS and drinking 50 beers in a single week might also be a factor.
2. RA is often related to joints but in some rare cases, it could affect the liver. Specifically you getting something called elevated liver enzymes or more specifically he says, something called Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion (SIADH). Basically the liver breaks down enzymes faster than normal. So for the case of Derek, he can still be drunk but the moment he gets knocked out or sleeps, his body works overtime and already breaks down the alcohol much faster, hence his "I never get hangovers". So having RA is what's giving Derek's immunity.
3. This is the best case now but Derek did not inherit anything and just naturally has a good liver as well as strong alcohol tolerance. Some people IRL are like that but knowing DPC, him giving us the curve ball that derek's the one who has it might be a possibility in later episodes. Besides, the throwaway lines of him not getting hangovers and us learning he's academically gifted and a genius because of mnemonics make this more tragic.

Anyway, sorry if I got these wrong if ever btw, Im just recalling what he said so I may have misunderstood somethings especially the medical jargon.

Does DPC have a fetish for giving diseases to MC's best friends? When it's not cancer, it's Rheumatoid Arthritis. Dude...

 

[DIKHammer]

That one should depend on the Party Planning for Halloween.

As far as I remember :
If Derek did the shots with Becky, he complained.
If mc does the shots with Becky, he can sniff her pussy directly.
(I prefer doing shots with Tiffany ...)

So if mc did the shots with Becky or if they planned the other game instead, then Derek should not know about Becky's pussy.

At some point Jacob complained that Becky is too passive in bed and is no fun.

Yeah but MC can fuck Becky and she is a fucking dead fish while her pussy might not smell she isn't worth fucking

 

[saynotoNTR]

Justice for Madame Rose! People complain about Madame's scenes, but no one condemns the DPC for wasting time making scenes for Becky! Dude... Becky is a meme!

Pffff...

Ok,ok. So what ?
You know, there's a great way to avoid any attempts at manipulation, you just have to say -
"Fuck off from me, or I'll break your fucking head !"
It's working.

His IRL best friend must have banged his wife

And still we got the scene LOL

We can make fun of Becky in game for good laughs and memes. The oily oinker is not even useful as a comedic relief, she's just there for sex and it's absolute disgusting.

 

[soprano31]

it's absolute disgusting.

And who stopped Mona from insisting on her own?

What scene are you referring to?

If she knew she was right, she shouldn't have given in to Quinn and left.

Quinn chastises Mona, and reminds her what she agreed to. Later she tells Mona to shut her mouth about the drugs, and for Lily and Camila to leave, which they do. She essentially blackmails Mona in keeping her mouth shut.

But this is really Quinn giving Mona one chance to keep her mouth shut, because if she doesn't, thanks to Stephen knowing who Mona is, Quinn then threatens to mention her to Stephen for running her mouth about soliciting sex, which would in turn likely expel Mona from the school and have a branded reputation for being a whore around B&R- which would be hard to shake.

Later in episode 6, Maya, already under the pre-tense of free tuition approaches Quinn with Mona and asks about it. Quinn then denies ever agreeing to free tuition. Mona, intimidated by Quinn caves immediately and agrees with Quinn. But Maya is having none of it--she slaps Quinn right across the face, and accuses her of lying to her and making her do some of the more unsavoury things on hers and Maya's lists--probably as insurance, if Quinn needs to use it against them. A furious Maya storms out, and Quinn doesn't say anything.

One of the end scenes is a cut to Stephen on a computer, and it shows some scholarship information with Mona's name on it. It shows that the scholarship's payment is pending, and he then deletes the information from the school's system; on the desk it shows a letter of resignation with Cathy's name on it. We then see a hooded person revealed to be Mona carrying 2 briefcases and another person following behind.

What could they have done to her?

Well she lost her tuition, and she's kicked out of the school.

But she got scared, she gave in, and she lost.

Yes, because Quinn and Stephen are evil manipulators.

So Mona should blame herself first and foremost for her failure.

What failure?
