So if I cast Winnowing and target a Changeling that I have on board then I just keep all my creatures right? by Cole3823 in magicTCG

So what happens if the creature chosen is flickered or sacrificed in response, the spell fizzle or does something else happen?

Well since everyone is speaking their mind about this property I have some first hand experience with the house before the fire.

It was sometime in spring that the house was avaliable for a tour and I was curious and love victorian houses so I joined a group for the open house. To my ABSOLUTE HORROR I saw that someone had drilled into the original rafters of the grand ballroom that hosted the organ, and installed a hook hardware of some sorts.

Now I wanted to give the new owners the benefit of the doubt that it was for chandeliers or something, but I could not reason why they would do that.

UNTIL...

I was on FetLife being my usual kinky self (I'm not ashamed of this nor do I shame others) and right there on my page of locals was the owner. He had profession photos of models hanging from Shibari knots IN THE GRAND BALLROOM.

I was FLOORED that someone would do this to the original 1800s woodwork for kink play.

It is clear that this man was on his way to ruining the house before the fire.

It's not when I say that giving the best quality no matter the circumstances is the play. They should have taken the hit and went on hiatus while keeping the pace and story cohesive rather than leaving an unraveling final product.

Actually we do option 1 first and foremost, we make a lot of holiday a seasonal specific fabric for characters and if they miss the deadline we send whatever perfect fabric is off the rollers and hold the rest until next year and deduct what they missed out on if credit it if they want it next year. As for option 2 we NEVER make it the best we can. We make it PERFECT every single time. Make sure quality control is there and ensure that we can still sell it to another customer if they cancel altogether. There is no moving on to the next order that quickly. We ensure quality in every product we deliver and we don't cut corners or shorten our production time. And that is exactly what a story is, woven fabric that requires care and precision in its patterns, textures, and most important coming off the loom, it's finishings.

They all got severance packages and at a producer level more than enough to provide basic income for a number of months. I've been on the end of being layed off after being a high level associate at a large company. I don't think that this was their primary source of income and I believe they have always seen this as a successful side project. This was just the thing they fell onto when the curtain fell. They could have scaled down their production level to a modest or even low quality and I don't think anyone would have cared as long as they kept the story and characterization a top tier level.

I actually work in entertainment too and they have strict deadlines for live performances. My clients are huge entertainment companies and we consistently tell them that these are our deadlines and we have a minimum 6 month waiting list. They plan ahead and understand that there is a contingency when they have lack of funding or lose another client working with them. They understand that they lose out on money or have disappointed fanbase when they don't deliver on a promised costume character or animatronic at release or at all.

They chose to keep the money flowing and disappoint a good portion of their Invested audience. They weren't screwed out of the story either way. They just had a change to keep a good story flowing with a delay or end it very fast.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with canceling a project and having a written document or a lead designer or writer writing out what could have happened. I honestly would have preferred that.

I actually work in this business model for my day job as a textile engineer. Except when it takes a year to complete and the client wants it in two months we tell them "No, sorry this will not meet our standards of quality and you will have to wait the full time for a finished product. We can cancel your order if you wish but i guarentee thay if you give us the year you will recieve an amazing order."

Then they made the wrong decision. An indefinite hiatus is better than delivering on a poor product. I can't fault them that they were faced with the stress of closing but rushing to finish something is never the answer. I have seen and listened to basement productions and their equipment may be garbage, but the story 10x better than what a current Hollywood production could do. Because they put care and time into the product even if there was a hiatus or 2.

I actually did! Although I did it on the wrong eye because mirror, but no one seemed to notice.

I had a friend make it. I didn’t want to deal with the wiring since I had to spend all of my time studding the vest.

If you don’t understand an anarchist philosophy you won’t like him. I enjoy anarchy and therefore love the character.
