is taking you back to school on
Communist-y
, sponsored by
Yeti Yachts
!
As with most Shows at this point, it costs
$5m
to develop. Fortunately, the upkeep is zeroed out with the Ad, which, while not a perfect fit, still does its job.
With the airing of this Show,
Awesome Industrial Accidents
will move to Reruns, and
Blast Radius Pure Sugar Cereal
will be returned to the bottom of the deck.


Season 3, Episode 3

Double Date

Thinking Schmidt has chosen to be with Cece, Jess and Nick invite him to go on a double date with them. Nick is caught between loyalty to his friend and loyalty to his girlfriend when he finds out a shocking secret. Meanwhile, Winston promises to get the foursome a table at an ultra-exclusive restaurant that doesn't take reservations.

It's an all-new Show on
SCN
! Join the
Femme Fatale
for some late-night humour on
North Lawn
, sponsored by
Finnoula's Fairly-Fragrant Fish
!
This Show costs
$3m
to develop, and the Star's upkeep is counteracted by the Ad's income once again.
As for what's going to the Reruns, it's time for
Wide World of Forks
to leave prime time TV.

StrangerCoug
has accumulated 3
Sitcom
Shows across his library of Shows, which means
SCN
will be getting ⭗5. On top of that, he'll get a choice between a Star or an Ad.

StrangerCoug, please choose if you'd like to pick from the Star deck or from the Ad deck. I'll then send you a PM with your three options. You have (expired on 2021-05-06 12:05:00) to finish the turn.

Sirius9121, you may take your turn if you want, but it'll only be resolved after we're done handling SCN's Genre Bonus. Do keep in mind that SCN's choice may impact your decision (and vice versa!), so if that is of your concern, you may want to hold off for the time being; but if not, go ahead. I'll post the board and your network for convenience:

V/LA noted! Coincidentally, mine starts on the 7th, so I'll only count it as 1 day instead of 3.

has decided on this Ad, chosen from the top 3 Ads of the deck:

Illicit Illana's
Illuminations

Instead of earning the $2m,

Felissan

I'll take Syndication. Also, I had a misunderstanding - I'll actually be V/LA until the 11th.

Both noted! I'm currently on my phone and it'll be some number of hours until I have access to my computer.

The game is now on pause.
It'll resume in (expired on 2021-05-10 07:00:00). Turns likely to take longer to resolve in the meantime.

Syndication rewordingI noticed that the wording for Syndication can be misleading, so I went ahead and rewrote the card for clarity:

Current wording
Updated wording
Syndication

Use when scoring Reruns.

Score an additional ⭗4

In the board game, the card is supposed to count the Reruns for their own network only. With the original wording, it could be read as scoring every network's Reruns, not just their own, and that would be inaccurate.

V/LA extensionHi everyone, unfortunately I underestimated how long the break is going to take, so I'm pushing the V/LA end date one day back. The new end date is
10 May 23:59 UTC
. There should be no more pushbacks after this one. Thank you for understanding!
