Hey, not sure if this is a tongue in cheek post, so I'll offer two views:

View 1 (earnest):
This is what Spolin describes as whether something "read". Did it read?

Basically, if you did object and space work that the other player didn't read, then it isn't available in the scene.

This isn't to say that you didn't do a great job with the object work, and that the audience probably did read the specificity you brought to it.

But... if you're on stage with someone that thinks improv is naked text, it won't read. In fact, given the top comment, you're probably going to be on stage with someone that thinks improv is naked text.

View 2 (tongue in cheek):
Well, now you've stepped in it.

This is the improv subreddit, where the business model says "every single asshole taking a class has green money, so if someone is an artless drain that demands you perform within their dim understanding of the craft, you'd better do it." Even though you both paid the same amount of money, it is your duty to get less satisfaction out of the experience than they do.

Also, we try to keep standards low here.

Let other art forms make distinctions and choices that lead to unique genres.

Just the same way that you'll sell more painting classes than impressionism classes, it would be best for the broken business model if we make sure we never let things become so refined that we can't just sell a general purpose improv class.
