| | Posted: | | | | Just a short question... Does a Treatment-credit ("after a treatment of") in the movie justify a writing credit in the movie's profile here? OMB maybe?  |

| | Posted: | | | | It sounds like a variation of "adaptation from" or a "part of" another medium, so I would say OMB. | | | | Cor |

| | Posted: | | | | Definitely not OMB. It would be story, if anything. |

| | Posted: | | | | Based on the Crew chart, it can NOT be 'story by'. If it is entered, it has to be OMB. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

| | Posted: | | | | A treatment isn't a published work, though. This means that someone basically developed an approach to adapting an original work or a pitch, but didn't do a full script. | | | | Last edited: by Ace_of_Sevens |

| | Posted: | | | | The rule says nothing about 'published.' A treatment is a different medium, so I think it goes in OMB. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| | Posted: | | | | Couldn't you use that argument to support any writing credit not under other categories as OMB? A treatment may be debatably a medium, but it certainly isn't original. Treatments are by their nature adaptations. | | | | Last edited: by Ace_of_Sevens |

Agreed. Umm I think you are splitting hairs here. I don't think this fits right now. But beyond that, with my insight and back story. medium says published to me, I don't and didn't envision notes on a napkin to be a medium. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

You will note that I said IF it is entered, not that is should be entered. Yes, I have noted. I merely wanted to remind Invelos of the shortcomings of the current crew table in order to get them fixed in the next rules update.  |
