In the Lord of the Rings fandom there’s a persistent debate whether balrogs, or Durin’s Bane specifically, have wings. The text in Fellowship is ambiguous whether what it is describing are literal wings or something else wing-like.

    There are a lot of other ways in - hence the disagreement.

    In my city in the Southern USA, “game” is rarely if ever taught (except in the context of short form) and formats like the Harold are almost non-existant.

    I have friends in the scene who tell me they’re happier without any game in their work at all.

    There is a large chunk of narrative or similarly structured (montages, Spokanes, la rondes…) work

      Yeah almost all we do is short form (I know, I know) so we do game after game. Sometimes we just start with one word and raw dog it, but that’s rare in a show.

        personally I think there’s actually such a big difference in “game” between short and long form they should be called different things.

        Once I got the hang of game when i was on a house Harold team, things really took off for my long form ability.
