Congratulations to the MANY games signed to our interim & tiered budget agreements! It’s a clear sign that our efforts are working (we resumed negotiations 10/23). Now’s a great time to revisit what it’s gonna take to get a fair contract. One day longer, one day stronger, folks!🧵

A mentor hated the term "bad acting." To him there was no such thing. What he called out was acting he found unclear, unmotivated, or, worst of all, uncommitted. He felt the "bad acting" frame created the exact fear that cripples commitment.

Study the material. Make a choice. Give it your best.

I wanna be super clear. We are under seige by masked villains- w/ no IDs, warrants, probable cause or concern for due process- who are abducting our friends, family & neighbors all over LA.

We don’t need help from the federal administration, unless that help is them calling off their goon squad.

I wrote a more robust FAQ for the DevTalk crew last month, but this section's broadly-applicable enough that I think it's helpful to include here!
Additional Things You May Not Have Thought Of! >Wait…does this make my game union? Yes! The Game Jam Waiver is technically an Interim contract and attached to the Tiered Budget Agreement. That being said, the waiver does not activate union eligibility (will not make an actor SAG-AFTRA-Eligible/SAG-E) and will not contribute anything toward health coverage or pension for existing members of the union. Basically: both union and nonunion actors can work on your game! Together! With very little paperwork required! (This also means that folks in SAG-AFTRA who've never had the opportunity to work on jam games can now do so!) >Why can't I just use the NAVA AI Rider? The shortest possible answer is "Because there's no [guaranteed] enforceability." The NAVA AI Rider is essentially a handshake between developers and their actors going "We won't do anything untoward!" whilst saddling the actor with the logistical and (significant) financial burden of pursuing recourse should something go sideways. With the Game Jam Waiver, both the developer and your actors are given the access to SAG-AFTRA's $1mil legal department. >Can I promote/stream the game once it's out? Yes, absolutely! Like all games on the Tiered Budget Agreement, games on the Game Jam Waiver are completely strike-compliant and can be promoted, streamed, and otherwise yelled about by every single person involved in production. >Who do I contact if I have more questions about the waiver? Two major points of contact are Zeke (primary author of the Game Jam Waiver, Tiered Budget Agreement/I-IMA, multiple versions of the Interactive Media Agreement/IMA and Interactive Localization Agreement/ILA, and the NAVA AI Rider) and Jett (contributor to the Game Jam Waiver, author of this FAQ, and general fiend for jam games). You are welcome to email either or both; please note that Zeke wears many hats in terms of union committees he volunteers with, so his message turnaround time can be slightly variable.

Posted this in a jam dev group yesterday, but just for coverage:

Hey! Hi! If you're making ✨a thing✨ for Otome Jam/Josei Jam and are looking for actors or have waiver questions: I'm around in an acting + bureaucracy-wrangling capacity.

jettbarker.com has my visual reels and a more robust résumé.
White text on a dark grey field reading as follows: Hi, all! I'm Jett, a British-American voice actor, occasional director, former tech gremlin, and big fan of labor organization. I'm an audio engineer by consistent-income-job, grew up as a classical pianist, and have a robust background in theatre (I'm a big M. Chekhov/Alexander/Adler fan) and classical singing. I *really* love game jams (so much so that I helped create the Game Jam Waiver to ensure folks could still safely work on them in the current videogame strike) and am super psyched for everything people are coming up with for Otome Jam and Josei Jam! I'm nonbinary/transmasc and comfortable playing characters of all genders across various age groups. I can work on both union and non-union projects outside of strike-times, but—because of the ongoing videogame strike—am currently only working on game projects that are strike-safe, i.e. using Interim contracts. The Game Jam Waiver is one such bit of paperwork, and it's both very easy to fill out and not scary! (A basic infosheet about it can be found [here](<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GLlU65AlESpIy4HuCMsnv-2bURbOXEuwStrNKF7rSvA/edit?usp=drivesdk>)).

Actors are not asking for anything unreasonable with AI protections.

We have protections in every other area. Employers for television, film, animation, & commercials agree actors deserve AI protections.

The few companies we’re striking against are the only ones in the industry who don’t agree.

Not sure where this came from but found it on @moreperfectunion.bsky.social's FB page and had to bring it over.

This is why education, message discipline, and knowing the pressure points of Capitalism are KEY to moving forward as a Left movement.

In light of *gestures at the horrors*, more data-points:
- International team (NA / EU / SEA) allied with Giant Stateside Labor Union
- Team's 50% 🏳️‍⚧️ and >50% 🏳️‍🌈
- Great way to say "Screw you!" to corpos who think games won't be "relatable"/successful unless the protagonist's a cis, straight white man

A promo graphic(? Maybe? It's very silly) for "HIS LAST MACHINATION" featuring small, chibi-adjacent versions of the trio around a plate reading "His Last Chew." Text below reads "We've got 1) wet cat who inexplicably keep rolling Nat 20s on Charisma checks, 2) 'The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math,' 3) War-crimes lesbian (implied) trying to not be an awful person (explicit)."
