[QUOTE="herald, post: 469901, member: 1112"] Ok fine. Peral Harbor, Hawaii December 6th, 1941. Your characters are trying to survive the Japanise attack. Here is some definitions to back up what I say. syn·o·nym Pronunciation Key (sn-nm) n. A word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word or other words in a language. A word or an expression that serves as a figurative or symbolic substitute for another. Biology. A scientific name of an organism or of a taxonomic group that has been superseded by another name at the same rank. fic·tion Pronunciation Key (fkshn) n. An imaginative creation or a pretense that does not represent actuality but has been invented. The act of inventing such a creation or pretense. A lie. A literary work whose content is produced by the imagination and is not necessarily based on fact. The category of literature comprising works of this kind, including novels and short stories. Law. Something untrue that is intentionally represented as true by the narrator. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Middle English ficcioun, from Old French fiction, from Latin ficti, fictin-, from fictus, past participle of fingere, to form. See dheigh- in Indo-European Roots.] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fiction·al adj. fiction·ali·ty (-sh-nl-t) n. fiction·al·ly adv. i·mag·i·nar·y Pronunciation Key (-mj-nr) adj. Having existence only in the imagination; unreal. Mathematics. Of or being the coefficient of the imaginary unit in a complex number. Of, involving, or being an imaginary number. Involving only a complex number of which the real part is zero. As you can see synonym doen't always meen equal to. It could mean alike. Fictional, could mean imaginary, but it can also mean not quite the truth. Hence Fictional is stronger that imaginary. It is more inclusive. On the subjest of Improvisation. The concept of Negation is only really used in Improvisation Exercise, not actual threatre. There are time in which certain "assumptions" give earlier in the scene must not be revoked. Once again, it is a mistake trying to mix Improvisational Theatre into an explaination of Role Playing games. If you do mix the terms then you run the risk of fully explaining Improvisational Acting. More times than not you run the risk of just making peoples eye glass over. [/QUOTE]
