Even Naruto leans on this, they just fail in it wrt their OC. It's illusory

Not really. GTO is one large conflict (Onizuka wants to become the greatest teacher) and many smaller conflicts (students' personal problems, attempts at sabotage) that tie into the larger one

Naruto has other characters with their own (often potentially better) conflicts. Superman has personal and political conflicts

That's all well and good and works for that story, sure. But we're talking about general "rules" of writing.

Yes, one singular conflict is generally not going to carry you through more than a single short story

Which is fine considering we're talking about stories in general

For a series or novel you need to think bigger than that

Sure, but we're more specifically talking about stories in relation to Naruto (and whatever other animu)

The train of thought you're following is getting too granular

When following a philosophy of things like writing, I find that applying a U.S. government structure of understanding works best. You start broad (constitution) then you break it down to specifics for what you're working on (states) then even more specific for your topic (municipality) and then even more specific (individual). At the moment, no one's even agreeing on the broad

Its because we all hate monopoly!

Oh you meant a different broad

broad and board

Monopoly was designed to be hated

I like Monopoly tho lol

Ever play that revised one where you use a credit card instead of money?

It's anticapitalist propaganda that hilariously got appropriated and commoditized

I have not

@SteelandSouls That credit card one (they made a few), was crap, it made the game take so much longer...

Right?! It wasn't as convenient as they made it seem

I see a lot of potential in debt-based monopoly

Tbh

Maybe not as it was implemented but still

any board game where you can lose halfway through the game is a shitty board game

like you're just supposed to sit there with your thumb up your ass while the rest of your friends have fun

Yep

Anyone who likes Monopoly hasn't played any good board games

and there are 18 bajillion versions of monopoly since all you have to do is change the property names/community chest text and boom, different game

Star Wars Monopoly

Grey's Anatomy Monopoly

Debbie Does Dallas Monopoly

@Beemann Puerto Rico is a great boardgame that is like advanced Monopoly

It's like capitalism on cocaine

My favourite board game of all time was illuminati by Steve Jackson games

@Nic Harvard I'll check it out. I think settlers was overrated but ticket to ride was a blast

Both were cool, but I’d not spend money on buying a set

Holy fuck some new person joining the run for. What’s interesting. Is fox showed the full announcement live CNN MSNBC didn’t let you hear him and ran commentary over

What?

I would like to run a survey with a fictional character, who has trump policies, but a different name, with three answers:
1) Vote for this person; 2) DJT; 3) None of the above, someone else
