Random aside: Anyone else watch the Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix? I feel like that could be an interesting choose your own adventure similar to how Bandersnatch was done. Let people make decisions as if they were in charge of the festival and see if they could come out the end of it having made it a success or not.

Yes, I was so intrigued by their story. I feel like the right person could pull it off. I've thought about this documentary non-stop for the past couple of days.

  > I feel like the right person could pull it off. I uh, I guess I'll bite. How? If anything, I think it's funny to imagine it as an interviewing exercise to suss out people with delusions of grandeur who have lived a life free of real-world consequences. They basically had a failed FEMA campsite without water or electricity, or effectively, shelter. It absolutely blows my mind and shakes my understanding of humanity to think that people got sucked into that or that there would be folks lining up to get suckered again, or that people somehow think it was ever achievable based on the timeline and current human time-travel technology. While I understand Billy's "charm" and even how to use it at times, it's amazing how enough of it will convince people to believe absolutely any delusional fantasy. Partying with a bunch of Insta influencers glued to their phone sounds like hell, anyway. Who doesn't want to hang out with the grown adult proudly bragging about urinating on all of the bedding?

    I think maybe a timeline where they listened to the guy suggesting they use a cruise ship to transport people might be 1 correct choice. After that they said they chose between 10 venues, maybe there is a timeline where they could have done something on the main land (Nassau) and crowd sourced more appropriate villas with AirBnB. Delaying the event by 1 week to avoid the yachting event might have brought airbnb prices down to a reasonable threshold. Maybe secretly there is no actual successful decision tree and its just a dark reminder that some things are never meant to be. Maybe at the start there is an option 'refund everyones money' haha and thats the only positive outcome.

The only current choose your own adventure pulled off for Adults has been meta they couldn't even do a normal story, so no, it won't happen again, or until everyone forgets the current one and it's novel again. It simply doesn't work, I want entertainment that's easy, not hard, hard is what "work" is for. Random aside: Netflix Fyre Festival documentary covers up FuckJerrys involvement, Hulu's does not.
