No flips for you!
It was [MENTION=29398]Lanefan[/MENTION]'s definition, and it was the impetus fir this spur of the discussion. I neither invented it, nor particularly cared for it because there are examples of RPGs without Lanefan's defined role. Just like there are RPGs without your preferred role.You don't get to just invent definitions in order to win the internet. At the very least, I have no obligation to humor you and your fictional definition.
Oh, Max. Didn't you just say the GM is also a player in your special pleading against [MENTION=6785785]hawkeyefan[/MENTION]? Yet, here you are backing off of that so you can special plead against me. And, I'm disingenuous? It's not like I've tried to agree with you twice, now, on a good point but you're still arguing the infallability of internet dictionaries.I don't believe for one second that you forgot the second part of the definition. ", in particular by narrating the details of the story that are not controlled by the players."
Stop your disingenuous arguments.
Hete's a clearer example of the circle in your argument:
Q: What are the properties of a field?
A: They have cows in them.
Q: What's a cow?
A: Cows are things in fields, particularly things different from other things.
That's the heft of your current argument, with a good bit of appealing to.the authority of internet dictionaries thrown in.
