Fireside Chat for WWW ep11 "Promises Promises"
Added 2023-07-25 08:20:00 +0000 UTCDios mio, It's .5's all the way down baby! I "promise" you'll enjoy this Fireside Chat, with a new guest, Brennan freak out, revelations about which of Lou's characters eat *ss, and a deep dive into how Aabria manages to maintain such consistency while Suvi, who is already "a lot" has a nervous breakdown on mic. Great stuff about character work in here! AND a reveal on the metaphysics of "guesting" on Fireside Chats. Chat lore, yonders! CHAT. LORE. Crackle crackle!

I agree with adonis on this, there is no middle to 10, 5 and 6 share it

2023-10-16 02:24:06 +0000 UTCAdonis is correct that a 1-7 scale does have a natural middle point that a 1-10 scale doesn't

2023-10-07 07:16:29 +0000 UTCi’m behind and catching up but i really love the discussion of the witch class because like. i’m always a big fan of buckling down into the source of magic for each class and how the witch class it seems like it’s. like communal responsibility almost? it’s such an interesting root for a character.
Tineke Matthewson
2023-09-04 03:05:51 +0000 UTCOkay but how is Brennan going to react when he finds out that the IB DP program is fully built on a 7 scale
Callahan Noelle Davenport
2023-08-16 05:31:17 +0000 UTCI think an agree/disagree situation is a useful way to illustrate the logic of the 1-7 scale (strongly, in between, and somewhat agree/disagree on either side, neutral in the middle)

2023-08-14 03:30:57 +0000 UTCIs it the one called “Crossing Ireland By Train” written by Phoebe Smith and read by Cillian Murphy?

2023-08-13 21:16:14 +0000 UTCWhich Calm sleep story did mr Guntz mean? I can’t find the one about the Tuatha Dé Dannan. Overall I give this episode a perfect 5 out of 7.
Marcel de Jong
2023-08-13 21:11:43 +0000 UTCI absolutely agree with Brennan that diplomacy and compassion is such an undervalued trait in our world and in our stories. That's why growing up I always clung to those rare characters that got treasured for their kindness, it meant so much to me to see

Rebecca McLaughlin
2023-08-05 21:52:53 +0000 UTC36:25 where Brennan casually acts out a whole scene of a TPK, moments before disaster, was one of the best things I've ever listened to. The whole cast is truly so amazing and every new episode just proves it!

2023-08-03 00:58:51 +0000 UTCThey've mentioned having a lot of episodes recorded ahead of these firesides, it makes me wonder how far ahead they are and when recording started for the podcast?

Jon Reeves
2023-07-31 08:33:11 +0000 UTCIt's a dumb, fun movie but when I think of someone resisting the allure of violence I think of The Rundown with The Rock's character constantly resisting the urge to pick up a gun. Granted, he eventually does and it's amazing, but like I said it's a dumb fun movie lol

Piras
2023-07-30 10:17:35 +0000 UTCgod, that's so true. Suvi trying to be everything to everyone, and fucking up both things she's supposed to be.... I'm in this image and I don't like it (that's a lie I love it. TFW you're an Ame in ideals and a Suvi in responsabilities. College is a nightmare, anyway. Great 'sode) [I finished listening and. I need to reiterate just how important the four of you guys are. Thank you so much for every word. Your positive impact footprint (? y'know, the ripple effect) is immeasurable, I hope y'all know that. 💛]
Rafael C
2023-07-30 03:54:27 +0000 UTCcan't express how much joy i get for seeing so much support for the 7-point metric in the comments. i've been pushin' 7-point scales on my friends for **decades** to no avail, and to hear THE Adonis Gunz (you could hear the 'z') present and defend the concept so deftly? *chef's kiss*

Emma Evans
2023-07-28 10:08:22 +0000 UTCI think the comment was directed at Ame and Eursulon, who wouldn't have seen Steel since then. The transcript says "... standing there, is a woman in gold armor, a woman you have not seen since she came to deliver heartbreaking news to a young Suvi, at the end of that magical summer, when Suvi had to learn that her parents were not coming to collect her." I think the use of third person to identify Suvi is indicating that she's not included in/intended by the "you."
Dave Thomer
2023-07-28 02:07:24 +0000 UTCI could be wrong, but I think Brennan misspoke during this episode about when it last was that Suvi had seen Steel. Latest mirror conversation aside, I thought Steel was at Suvi's graduation at the Citadel. But Brennan said at just after 1:13 of this episode that Suvi hadn't seen Steel since she came for her as a young girl at Grandmother Ren's.
Chris Sniezek
2023-07-28 00:13:53 +0000 UTCThe real question is if the scales use "0" or not

Patrick Coleman
2023-07-26 23:10:58 +0000 UTCBrennan talking about how when facing things like empire, and choosing not to violent when the world itself rewards violence reminds me a lot of The Last Airbender, specifically how Aang, when being told by everyone, including his own past lives, that killing Ozai was morally justified, that the world would be better with him dead, chose instead to spare him, and in doing so healed a violent world with peace.

Carrie Mook Bridgman
2023-07-26 21:22:21 +0000 UTCI'm not entirely sure Ame has messed it up in the end. The witch who was not intimidated by Orima will not be easily intimidated by Steel. Steel may be to Suvi what Grandma Wren is to Ame, but Ame does not have those connections. Steel is not wanting to hear excuses from Suvi. Ame *might* eventually be able to make Steel see that explanations and excuses are two different things, and judging prior to having the facts is a bad idea. But how much will they tell Steel?
Carrie Mook Bridgman
2023-07-26 21:19:30 +0000 UTCEspecially since it sounds like he started learning as an adult, through Duolingo. Picking up accents is much, much easier for children.
Carrie Mook Bridgman
2023-07-26 21:12:46 +0000 UTCWhen Ame recognized the bowl that the offering was in, I immediately wanted to know if the food was fresh or had been sitting in the heat for several weeks. They didn't say, and the characters were too busy freaking out over Orima to wonder about it. If Aabriya had just gotten a better roll on that insight check!
Carrie Mook Bridgman
2023-07-26 21:04:22 +0000 UTCI love the discussion the group has about conflict and saying the thing that is neither fully believed nor only because you are angry, and it reminds me of how much complexity we hold as whole humans, and that as Walt Whitman said, "Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. I am large. I contain multitudes."
C@SdS
2023-07-26 20:12:18 +0000 UTCI laughed so hard at this one. 1-7 as a rating system is so, so good. It has a clear center neutral, extremes, and a little bit of wiggle room on the side of each of those. I think maybe 0-10 (an 11 point system) has been shown to be the "best" at getting the most meaningful data responses when precision is needed, but anecdotally I think 1-7 is easier for people to give a gut response to, so there's far less mental quibbling and much more confidence in the response.
Candy Emberley
2023-07-26 19:39:51 +0000 UTCI looooooooove that Brennan and I both went to SUNY UCCC and we BOTH had no clue there were ANY sports teams! 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 #artstudent
Sheri DePuy
2023-07-26 19:34:53 +0000 UTCOh yeah. I meant it as a compliment. The cringe comes from the uncanny valley of being SO CLOSE, but slightly off. The fact that he's managed this much is amazing and far more than a lot of people do.
Alejandro Toro
2023-07-26 18:56:06 +0000 UTCJust want to raise my hand as well in requesting those character playlists.
Ignacio Segura Montero
2023-07-26 18:46:12 +0000 UTCBut the fact alone that he’s already on that threshold is commendable. It means he’s already internalizing the accent and is trying to use it properly instead of just speaking Spanish with his English accent. All he needs is to keep practicing and listening.
Ignacio Segura Montero
2023-07-26 18:44:44 +0000 UTCAs a professional engineer with a minor in math, I agree that 7 has a better middle than 10.

Michelle Hoehn
2023-07-26 17:58:12 +0000 UTCDirei un 7 pieno. I had to reset my brain because of the sudden cognitive dissonance
Gabriele
2023-07-26 17:55:33 +0000 UTCI love how the episode BEGINS with Amai being in control of a social situation with a powerful entity that Suvi would have messed up, and ENDED with Suvi talking to a powerful entity that Amai messes up. All because she wasn't on mute. I just love that juxtaposition.
Nathan Ricks
2023-07-26 17:38:52 +0000 UTCBrennan on the allure of violence...so good. It's easier to avoid violence in a system where violence is dangerous and messy. It's more meaningful when you know violence is likely to work. Also, for informal feedback Brennan is right - 1-10 is clearer and easier. For one thing, having a perfectly neutral option is bad. If you have a perfect neutral people will pick it when they want to be nice but they would give negative feedback if they were being perfectly honest. People have already pointed out all the good reasons for using a different scale in more rigorous situations.
Matthew B
2023-07-26 17:21:23 +0000 UTCI'll see your odd number scales and raise to zero to even number scales: the usefulness of a middle and the beauty of an even maximum
Gabriele
2023-07-26 17:19:51 +0000 UTCI definitely wouldn’t be fluent either unfortunately! I suppose the pronunciation all depends on which dialect you learned as well. Very cool to hear the gang taking influence from their stories regardless ☺️
Brother Alder
2023-07-26 15:29:24 +0000 UTCI assumed that it's being kept up by something or someone else, which may be why having a successor or a cottage as a place of power may be extra important as a witch. Which would put an emphasis on how important Amé 'inheriting' could be

2023-07-26 14:18:04 +0000 UTCAs someone who writes surveys in their job, and has researched how to do it, 1-7 is perfect. Followed closely by 1-5. 1-10 is the worst.

2023-07-26 03:21:37 +0000 UTCAs a native Spanish speaker hearing Brennan do his best with Spanish brings me a simultaneous joy and cringe of like "God he's so close I'm so proud and I can fully understand him, but there's this little bit off that makes me laugh." Keep doing your best, man! I can't wait for the next time you speak it, which I know will be even better!

Ric Freeman
2023-07-26 01:10:13 +0000 UTCLook, there's a reason surveys use 1-5 scales. There has to be a middle ground. 5 isn't middle of 10, it's half of ten. On a scale of seven you have three bad choices, one middle ground, and three positive. Odd number scales are the only way to go.
Brennan Holtzclaw

Susannah Perkins
2023-07-25 21:38:16 +0000 UTCI just can't get over the fact that Adonis goes straight to 7. Regardless of the whole "what is middle" debate, isn't "X out of 5" the obvious answer if you want a single "mid" option and "X out of 10" the choice if you want two even halves?
Barrett
2023-07-25 20:28:25 +0000 UTCLot of good math-based comments about 1-10 vs 1-7, but the real benefit of 1-7 is it discourages snap responses. On a 1-10, everyone says 7 by default. A 1-7 (or any other "abnormal" scale really) you get a moment of thoughtfulness by coming in at a different angle.

Aabria, thanks for the answer, it genuinely impresses me how you turned such rotten luck into an entertaining podcast. I've been playing games like D&D for twenty years and it can be rough trying to handle a no-good-very-bad day with good grace and humor. You make it look easy, and it's both enlightening and reassuring to know the work that goes into it! 7/7

2023-07-25 17:06:19 +0000 UTCCame here to say this! 5 is only the middle if 0 is an option! Usually it’s 1-10, not 0-10.
Erika Abbas Hanna
2023-07-25 17:03:15 +0000 UTCFormer academic checking in — we routinely use a 7 point scale because it does offer a true middle point. Adonis was right.
Jordon Brown
2023-07-25 16:52:13 +0000 UTCAdonis Gunz was 100% correct. 1 to 7 has a middle and 1 to 10 does not. 5 is not the middle unless the scale is 0 to 10. Brennan should know this, because it matters for dice logic! Even number ranges starting at 1 don't have a clean middle. 1 to 6's middle is 3.5. I'm sorry, Brennan, but in this case I've got to GET IN THE COMMENTS and decry your ignorance of an artfully chosen integer-based rating system. 1 to 7 boys, represent.
Kyle Rudy
2023-07-25 16:10:37 +0000 UTCThe 7 point rating scale shown is extremely standard with likert items. I'm with Adonis on this one.
xatlern
2023-07-25 16:10:22 +0000 UTCYes. And a 0 to 10 scale has five in the middle, but has too much room. I just had a whole experience and I have to decide between was it 3 bad or 4 bad? Or if it was 6 good but not 7 good? That way lies insanity. 1 to 7 is perfect. It has an exact neutral. You don't have to deal with the brutality of giving something a 0. You don't have think about whether something was a 2 or a 3 or why you gave something a 9 but not an 8.

2023-07-25 14:00:05 +0000 UTCSo question, that has nothing to do with anything: might we at some point get a "Aabria teaches you how to make a cheat sheat" segment?
Idunn Pil Søndergaard
2023-07-25 13:55:40 +0000 UTCI say this with so much love in my heart as someone who has taught math in both public schools and to homeschool students, Brennan's homeschool and philosophy education really showed in favoring 1-10 over 1-7

Bee Ami
2023-07-25 13:39:34 +0000 UTCListening to Aabriya describe Suvi's breakdown was fascinating. She says she keeps a feelings notebook to remind her of things Suvi is feeling that Aabriya isn't--a way of staying in Suvi's head. It must work, because Suvi *never* feels like a character played from a distance. She's just real.

2023-07-25 13:24:35 +0000 UTCOn using the D&D ruleset for diplomacy I was thinking of my recent campaign where we were campaigning for a local election for the leader of a farming collective. There were at least 3 sessions of speeches and plots. It was fantastic.

bluebluebutton
2023-07-25 13:21:15 +0000 UTCI agree with Adonis, 1-10 is a flawed rating system because there's no true middle. Rating something as a 5 means it's technically below average and a 6 is above average. I can't give a nice whole number to mean "I don't have a ton of feelings about this thing". A d20 has an average roll of 10.5, not 10 because there are an even number of sides.
Ben Hazel
2023-07-25 13:18:58 +0000 UTCI caught that, too, but they hadn't done introductions yet. That was kind of a pre-episode freeby.
Carrie Mook Bridgman
2023-07-25 13:15:15 +0000 UTCExactly! If one to ten is laid out on a page do you want me to circle the five AND six or the little space between the five and six? If it's just a clickable survey I'll have to scrap the whole thing. The only thing I can't express is neutrality? It would drive me to madness.
Esther
2023-07-25 12:59:54 +0000 UTCI have barely started this, but I am dying inside wanting to point out that a 0 to 10 rating system has an exact middle and a 1 to 10 rating system has a slightly-below-middle and a slightly-above-middle. Never wanted a spoiler more than this: Do they work that out before the end?
Esther
2023-07-25 12:57:01 +0000 UTC5 is the middle of a 0-10 scale. Seven scale is best if you don’t allow for a zero rating.
Douglas Coonfield
2023-07-25 12:53:41 +0000 UTCWhat is a 1-7 rating system if not a 1-5 system with more wiggle room for opinions
Just Shannanigans
2023-07-25 12:32:29 +0000 UTCSplit the Veil podcast uses a 1-7 rating system and I really like it! 5 is half of 10 by its really not in the middle of a 10 rating scale. It’s definitively on the bottom half of numbers.
Rachel Anderson
2023-07-25 12:27:25 +0000 UTCThe middle of 1-10 is 5.5. 1-5 is 5 numbers, 6-10 is 5 numbers. I fully support the 1-7 rating system

Merissa McClure
2023-07-25 12:00:29 +0000 UTCYou talk about too much about too many good things and it’s really hard to not just write a long personal letter to you after each fireside. Also petition for Brennans therapy minute - bc I spent a lot of money to be able to say that one emotion is not my only emotion and I can make different and more cogent choices

2023-07-25 11:59:10 +0000 UTClooking at the comments before listening is a wild experience, cause i have ZERO context for any of what anyone’s talking about. truly sensational.
Stuart Clark
2023-07-25 11:54:04 +0000 UTCI generally agree with Brennan on most things, but Adonis has this on lockdown. The middle of 10 is between 5 and 6. If you look at your fingers on each hand, you wouldn't say the pinky on one of your hands is the middle of that space, you would say the space between your pinkies is the middle. You have five fingers on your hand. Is the middle of that not your middle finger? Adonis's scale works like this, 1. Worst 2. Worse 3. Bad 4. Neutral 5. Good 6. Better 7. Best
Charlie Karls
2023-07-25 11:49:31 +0000 UTCAdoni$ Gunz is correct on the 1-7 thing. Classic Likert scale, think extremely disagree, disagree, somewhat disagree, neither agree nor disagree, somewhat agree, agree, extremely agree.

2023-07-25 10:57:34 +0000 UTCI absolutely love that they consistently refer to how they will keep this going for "hundreds" of episodes. It makes me so happy to think that in a few years, when for all I know I may be living somewhere completely different, working a different job etc, these 4 lovely friends will still be sitting down together and making beautiful stories <3

2023-07-25 09:11:56 +0000 UTCComing from a person who hasn't done statistics in a while... Half of ten is five, I don't think it's the middle. I actually agree with Adonis. On a graph of 7 discrete numbers from 1 to 7, the median would be 4. Did i get it right?
