# CINE AUDIT · FLAMETHROWER (O, 27 Oct)

The rule: KEEP the serious, brutal kills (★ at 8/8/8/8, or a real 8/8/8/7 that isn't gag-based). REBUILD the gag, comic or weak
ones (about 2/3). Rebuilt slots keep their key. Retired keys (not rebuilt in wave 1) get `def.retired = true` when A's switch lands.
