| | Posted: | | | | In this thread some say this isn't a Group Role i assume because the names appear above the role(s) as opposed to below them  I have another similar one that I'm note sure if it is a Group Role or not?  Again the Role appears below the names So are these Group Roles and therefor a Group Divider should be used or should only individual credits be used? As always happy to go with what the community decides | | | | Last edited: by ninehours |

| | Posted: | | | | The Railway Children is definitely a group role.
Therefore I would support the idea that the first example is also a group role. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | To be precise in the first example it would be three group roles:
Berserker Predator
Carey L. Jones
Brian Steele
Tracker Predator
Carey L. Jones
Brian Steele
Falconer Predator
Carey L. Jones
Brian Steele
In the second screenshot we see a very good example for a group role | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | In the first example, there are three individual roles played by two people. Yes, the roles are grouped together, but that doesn't make it a group role. We see this all the time in animated shows, where one person is credited with multiple individual roles. We don't create dividers for those, so why would we create a divider for this?
In the second example, we do have a group role...'children' indicates more than one child...so it is a group role. For that, I would use a group divider. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

In the first example, how would you break up the roles, if they are not a group. It may not be a typical grouping, but a grouping none the less. I really see no difference than 2 children playing the same role in a movie. if the role would have been under the other roles and justified appropriately, then placed the cast under the other cast i.e. Mombasa Mahershalashbaz Ali Berserker Predator, Tracker Predator & Falconer Predator Carey L. Jones Brian Steele Would it then be a group role? If not, how would you credit? Charlie |

Because one person isn't a group, but two people are. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | "Predator" is singular, and thus cannot constitute a group role. You cannot have a group of "predator".
"Children" is plural and so could be a group role.

--------------- Sure... but Berserker Predator, Tracker Predator & Falconer Predator --> Predators. And there is nothing in the rules that says the group lead must be plural in nature... |

Berserker Predator, Tracker Predator & Falconer Predator --> Predators. But that is not a role, it is three roles. Look how the credit is worded and punctuated: "as the Berserker Predator , Tracker Predator & Falconer Predator". Three individual roles. If the role had been "Predators" it would have been a group role. --------------- | | | | Last edited: by scotthm |
