How is that not about hit points? Your examples are predicated on how hit points work.

That’s fair. Then I think we agree.

And yet no one suggests the simulations are perfect. I can see how that would be a ‘problem’ if they did. But they don’t, so?

I would say this. I think players can definitely have implicit agendas that map to their general preferences, but I definitely think a...

You won’t like it, but the answer is almost surely a no ;)

Can we try to find an example arguing against simulation that doesn't involve hit points? Just as a change of pace?

I don't really want to defend GNS but a big part of the idea of the creative agenda is that it can be implicit. I mean I think the...
