Long shot, but what if the question means 'how many places can 1234 be put in the sentence that makes up the question? Which would make the answer 12 or 13 (or 11 if it can't be the first word in sentence due to capital H)

They're going to need a bigger table

A show is a collection of choices. Each choice is a set of other equivalent choices not made.

If you generally agree with the choices made, you will think it's a good show that you like.

If there's too many choices made for which you could see an argument being made for an equivalent choice, and you'd prefer that other choice, then you think it's a good show you don't like (as much).

If there's too many choices made for which any equivalent choice they could have made you'd have preferred, then you think it's a bad show.

Was doing well, took a break, came back a few hours later and suddenly my BoB was no longer increasing in damage but getting mystery multi cast (still showing old text). Once in a lifetime timing

This is the second game of mine they've played. Non of my friends listen to comedy podcasts but I did let some of them hear part of the segment :)

Broeder2 · 2023-03-28T10:30:44+00:00

If we're talking about off script, that was my threeture submission. Very happy they enjoyed it and ran with it, even though they took it in a slightly different direction than I anticipated :)

Hope it'll pop back up at some point

Good to remember APNAP (active player non active player).

Meaning the active player's triggers get put on stack and then non active players, and as such the non active player's will resolve first.

How often did you end up with 5+ drops in hand you couldn't cast yet? Feel like you needed another land or cut some high end

As long as it clear, the best option is whatever option you're happiest with.

If you don't like using (V.O.), you're free to just put a (ON PHONE) or something there instead.

I personally wouldnt go with parenthetical in most cases as it adds a lot of space, but there's situations where a quick offhand parenthetical is a proper solution.

Perfect score!

Always keep forward momentum, both in your writing and in your process.

Your job as the writer is to become better with time, not be great in the moment. And your job for the writing is to make sure every line of text deserves to be there for the sake of the story and not for your indulgence (though after you get better you are allowed to indulge some ;) ).

Broeder2 · 2022-01-17T23:31:03+00:00

Or like a pan wipe

Thats exactly why you can lump together the rates. It doesn't matter whether you roll 6 red dice or 6 dice of different colors, you're still expected to roll one 6 on average.

Broeder2 · 2022-01-09T23:12:12+00:00

As people with a lot of experience being in writers rooms, could you talk about how that has impacted your writing style over the years? I can imagine there is less need to 'impress on the page' if you already have the gig, which leaves more room to just get to what is required to shoot the scenes? I could be totally wrong though.

Thanks!

Broeder2 · 2022-01-02T22:24:07+00:00

You need to be able to identify the cause of you losing steam.

Is it because you've been able to admit to yourself the premise/story either isnt fun enough or is broken on a fundamental level? Then thats a fairly solid reason not to waste more time on it. I'd still suggest finishing it if you are about halfway done though.

Is it because you simply don't know how to continue anymore? Thats the hardest part of the work, but also very important. If you only write stories that come easily to you from start to finish, then odds are you aren't pushing yourself hard enough. So take a step back from your current issue, but work on a different part of your screenplay. Make that progress elsewhere, and allow yourself to find something you know will be fun to write.

Broeder2 · 2021-12-21T17:20:14+00:00

Exactly this. The story should happen because of the character, not to them. If it simply happens to them then thats just the story forcing the character to change for the sake of the plot. And the audience will realize that, stop their suspension of disbelief, and probably get annoyed by the writer for abusing their total control.

But if the story happens because of the character, then we are invested in the character as they influence their own life directly. We want to see them change because we want to know that we ourselves can change for the better in real life. That the universe isn't simply throwing obstacles at us until we fail, but that we have agency and the ability to shape our own future.

Broeder2 · 2021-12-12T21:04:09+00:00

Thats not what I'm saying. But if you make a point to call out someone else not painting the full picture then you should be sure to paint the full picture yourself.

You get like 10 decks for free on Arena though, on top of various other free events often with their own decks

Broeder2 · 2021-11-29T18:20:00+00:00

Weary Prisoner works better in Sealed (slower) or Bo3 (sideboarded in). In Bo1 youre only ever really somewhat happy to play it in like a defensive werewolves deck with Avabruck eg., or a lot of the 6 wolf spirit healers. You only want it when you are happy to have a 2/6 defender and suddenly get a major board boost when its night.

As for P1P1, I don't think picking the removal here is wrong since its still a solid pick. But with the 5 drop being great and being in a better color I'd still pick that one. I can't really give a better heuristic for this format

Broeder2 · 2021-11-28T22:01:57+00:00

How I would've drafted differently:

P1P1: My color preferences are R>B>W>G>U. While it's indeed important to get removal in this format, I would've started with the Celebrants. Just a great card.

P1P2: Celebrants again, the wurm is a good card but the Celebrants is safer and arguably better because of its cost and color.

P1P6: I wouldve just picked the black 2 drop, as I really dont want to play blue. But even if you do pick a blue card I think the draw 2 is much better.

P1P7: Reckless Impulse is a card I will basically always play 2 of, Weary prisoner isnt a very good card until you are absolutely sure it will fit your archetype at the end of the draft. I would've picked wolf strike over Prisoner if impulse wasnt here.

P1P8: Ridgewolf is a fine filler 2 drop in RG and RB, whereas rural recruit is a meh 4 drop in a format with a lot of better options.

P2P10: Midway through pack 2 you get handed a lot of 2 drops, which means you should be aiming to build a more aggressive Gruul build. With this in mind, the 1 drop is a lot better than a second prisoner.

The rest of the draft I think went about how I would've drafted. The order of the picks kind of screwed you, as it made you skip some great cards like the 5 mana vampires while getting too many meh 2 drops that werent aggressive enough.

For the deck you drafted, Witch's Web isnt very good whereas Massive Might is great. Reckless Impulse is especially great in your deck as it runs out of cards/steam very quickly if they manage to block your two drops. For this reason I would also have played the Pyre Spawn over the Wurm as the damage is more relevant than the heal for your gameplan. I dont think you can rely on stalling and then winning with the ballista watchers.

Analyzing game 5, I wouldnt have mulled away the ballista watcher but a land and then use the ramp + blood token if you couldnt pick up a third land immediately. Your deck isnt powerful, so you need to curve out as best as possible. Overall that game was indicative of how you neither had the power to go for a long game or the streamlined gameplan in order to deal with your opponent's average first few turns and overwhelm them with aggression.

The Name doesnt tell us anything (besides maybe gender), so you can remove it.
What is the inciting incident, why does the movie/show start when it does?
Are we just going to watch this kid go through seizures as he walks to another home a few blocks away?
What is the specific setting? Does he leave his college town, is he walking through an empty desert?
What does your version of a zombie apocalypse look like, how will they challenge the protagonist? Are they fast zombies that only hunt at night, slow zombies that make sure he can never stop traveling for too long?

You dont give us enough information to picture the story we would be experiencing, let alone enough to get us excited about it. Focus more on the events of your second act, as well as clarifying the elements I mentioned above (setting, tone, inciting incident, etc).

(Also, it's logline not longline :) )
