2) Remix probably won't play through my scenario. He's played through 2 of my scenarios. After that, it doesn't make sense for him to play through my scenarios, as they're just okay. One scenario, Remix actually criticized as a positive aspect. The second scenario he played had one task that I didn't remove, and because of that, the scenario couldn't be completed. That's the scenario where Remix is against me.
