However as you point out I provide an attempt of describing how it "feels". Just that I actually think would be enough to give most a bit of ground to start talking about situations where they have experienced such a feeling, and likely been talking about what I had in mind with this concept.But I didn't stop at that. Even in the original small version I have an example of the opposite. I also gave an example of something in the grey area between my concept and its opposite. I also provided two examples of something that was close, but not quite (and one example of something that take the concept too far). In the wall of text version I provided another example of the opposite, alongside an actual example of an instance of what I was looking for. I also clarified what was the key differences between a presumed known concept and this new concept.Given this, what more would you think the average person would need before they could start getting a grasp at what I might be talking about, to the extent that they could start providing meaningful clarifying question, or share experiences of something that seem to match the descriptions provided?The trouble with providing a "clear definition" is that this concept is still a bit fuzzy for myself, and I fear by trying to nail it too closely down I might lose out of something I think really would be worthwhile to include, or include things that really pollutes the conversation around the concept (like GMPC or Buddy). If I would have to make an attempt of it now it would be something like "Benevolient GM stance the phenomenom of having a temporary situation where the GM is actively trying to help out the player characters in a way that is in no way disruptive of the desired play experience of the group as a whole". I think this formulation at least includes firefighting in groups where this is accepted/expected, and excludes GMPCs and unwanted Buddying. So as such this definition seem promising?</blockquote>
