Is it worth it to write out all of the scenarios?

When I first did this game I did not write out scenarios. It took me a long time to go through all the questions and I made a mistake or two. I went back and redid it and found that I could make 6 complete scenarios pretty easily. 3 with s going third and 3 with s going fourth. Would you recommend writing out these six scenarios? I have gotten pretty good at writing out scenarios but sometimes I do not know if its worth the time that it takes.

I also have this^ question. I'm guessing with a question like this since there are SO many possibilities, so few rules, and it's a more straightforward yet open ended linear game, I'd say no.

For this game probably not. As a general rule, I personally only like to draw out scenarios when two things are met. First, are there a limited number of mutually exclusive worlds? Ideally three or fewer. Here we do have a rule that creates that. We know S is either three or four, and those are the only two options. However, the second test is whether each of those worlds triggers other conditions. Here they do not, so I probably wouldn't bother.
