It is not, but the systems you think are like that, are not like that, like it has been shown to you several times in this thread.

How I approach this, which seems to be common, is that I setup the local situation pertinent for the characters, and then do not...

It is, but one which makes the simulation substantially weaker.* All locks are not of same complexity. And including that makes the...

It's also you dodging the questions like a pro. If you put down a sign, written in a language the PCs could read, can the PCs/players...
