The downside of having a bunch of crime writers and lawyers in the BLADES OF DARK MARS game is that the one-night corporate stock control con has turned into a multi-faction conspiracy with multiple possible controlling interest outcomes and a cold case murder to solve.
ME: "Look, all you have to do is get somebody to give up 10% of their stock."
PLAYERS: "After we solve the murder and revitalize the CEO's singing career we'll frame the corporate spy for the hostile takeover attempt and steal the bribe money the Chinese gave him --"
Don't even get me started on one of the PC's paying off their Vice/Stress relief hobby of "Dance School" by joining the interpretive dance troupe performing at the corporate retreat under the tutelage of a WHIPLASH JK Simmons-style mentor. These people.

1/ one of the main reasons I stayed a US television writer is that when I went back to Canada, with 70-something produced episodes under my belt, with a pitch starring a Canadian comic & with US guest star for financing, the CBC looked at me like I'd broken into their kitchen.
2/ Its no coincidence that both LETTERKENNEY and TRAILER PARK BOYS were made well outside of the establishment, and both are Canadian as hell.
3/ I'm a Canadian citizen and I value Canada's culture and politics as, to some degree, my ideal. And the plural of anecdote is not data. But man, centrally planning culture is not optimal.

1/RPG THREAD (mute if needed): Good news. The BLADES OF DARK MARS crew finally finished the one-night corporate stock control scam on night three.
2/ all it took was convincing the son of the guy they put in a coma that the Chinese government were the ones who put him in a coma because after all they just tried to shoot up the OTHER major shareholder up on the 100 story balcony restaurant ...
3/ ... which was prevented by the Slide jumping OFF the balcony with the Mark so the Rigger could blow out her 85th story window and catch them with her wildly illegal gravity gun while the Hitter and their Ellen-Page-as-Javert Inspector did a team-up to fend off the gunmen ...

1/ If you're going to argue that we can't get rid of the filibuster so we can protect the interests of the minority in a legislative body where EVERY STATE ALREADY HAS THE SAME REPRESENTATION REGARDLESS OF POPULATION, you are going to get the fucking side-eye.
2/ "Oh no, how will the interests of the people of Wyoming be protected when they only enjoy a *checks notes* 50-1 advantage in the Senate to the people of California." Fuck and off.
3/ Hit this now or by 2040 we'll be functionally living in a rural/urban apartheid. XX

@GrumpyDaddd @Futureworldxxl Reality-Check: #Germany has 1% of the global population & wants to safe the #earth by charging among the higest #energy-prices on earth? Sounds more like a bunch of idiots allowing themselves to be ripped off big time!
#GreenEnergy #ClimateChange #Klimawandel - Part 1
@GrumpyDaddd @Futureworldxxl 2. At the same time Germans happily use their #iPhones, produced in #China by near slave-labour under conditions that are far from green.

German #Chemical companies happily produce in #Shaoxing, #China with a pollution (I have seen it) which takes your breath away! #Bayer #BASF
@GrumpyDaddd @Futureworldxxl 3. And the missionaries of #ClimateChange & #GreenEnergy, like @LeoDiCaprio, are the biggest jokes: Talking about climate change, but leaving a carbon foot-print the size of a village, with their #yachts, private #jets & several #villas with several servants! #ABigCon!

Around Feb this year, got approached by a trader whom I met thru another analyst/trader friend . Says he has huge losses from trading , is stressed, admires me and wants my help. Though I do not run any advisory, agree to share my trading ideas as i am really sorry about him
If you have watched me in Feb 2018, I was hugely correct in the downfall on Nifty and individual stocks like SBI, PNB, TataSteel etc. This guy traded along with me, called me when required to ask for guidance.
Till now, I never ever spoke about any fees etc as I do not do any advisory on principle. Was happy to help. This guy himself offered to run one contract of stock fut which I advised, and that he would keep track of P/L

No evidence: the drug wore off, he used a condom, she woke up confused and drove home after the humiliating conversation. They were friendly the day before and she accepted his offer to stay over instead of taking the road so late. No witnesses. The perfect #crime. #FicFri
Overdose survived. She flirted with him until he invited her over again. She denied him nothing in bed, she was #obsequious. “I’ve got a surprise”, she said, and massaged his feet as he sipped the wine she gave him. He died of sepsis a week later. #vss365 #AmWriting
“He committed #treason against the sacred dojo. He disgraced the sport”, they said. “Perhaps. I am still going to the cremation ceremony. We must protect our art and not speak ill of a dead coach”, she said. “If he has a #soul, it will burn in hell”, they said. #FP #FridayKiss

#Writers! There's no #writingtip, blog post, book, or class that will save you from having to work hard. Those are all tools.

They're your boots, your backpack, and your bottle of water. They aid you on your journey, but you're still the one who has to do the walking.

(1/4)
And it can be a lonely road. So find a community to share your troubles with. Lots of people have walked the road before you, and many will be happy to guide you.

Many #writers wander into the craft with an idealistic mindset. I know I did. I thought it would be easy.

(2/4)
It's not easy. It takes hard work and and lots of failure. It takes being knocked down and getting back up. It takes time.

But think about it. If it were quick and easy, what would be the point?

The value lies in the challenge.

(3/4)
