The Principle of Legitimate Intentions

[clearstream]

No proposal made in good faith should ever be in need of "legitimation" unless the player has a habit of paying no mind to genre and story-states. Or is player-ignorant of factors the character should know. In the later case, the GM or Table should probably give them a mulligan, as the intent was not bad faith.

Yes! So what I'm contributing specifically is that the principle you describe also applies to intentions. I'm analysing proposal to contain an intention|description couplet.
