[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 8286147, member: 71699"] In other threads, there has been raised a concern about the theory one can reason about fiction. That it can turn out to be about second-guessing the DM. This touches on a concern that fiction in general cannot be reasoned about. Consider the incomplete sentence - We can't reason about what should happen next, because anything can happen. This particular quote is from a famous example of that. Or maybe to put it a better way, we can only reason about what happens next if we know and accept the framing. And even then, imaginary space is so vast that there may never be only one [I]reasonable[/I] outcome. I know this same question has been asked in a lot of different ways: how does SP address that concern? Does it come down to good faith by the participants? When there is disagreement, is the only resolution a parting of ways? (Seeing as neither can claim the - non-existent - fictional high-ground.) And then if it relies on good faith, is the crucial skill that of managing interpersonal relations? [/QUOTE]
