Message: <blockquote data-quote="Manbearcat" data-source="post: 7174973" data-attributes="member: 6696971">Yup and gotcha.Absolutely and agreed on all:1)  It is definitely the AW Open Your Mind move analogue.2)  They both are fundamental genre drift (gonzo, nature of the supernatural, et al) components in each game that have to be established as a table consensus.Alright then, so lets back things up to your hypothetical evolution of the situation:Alright, so tell me how you'd handle this:Slide:  I give <Lurk> a subtle look to let this 'Scarecrow' out of his hold.  I pat and straighten the poor man's tattered coat and look him in the eye with an over-enthusiastic smile.  I lean in close and whisper.  "Fix this.  You fumbled trying to unhook your lantern.  Simple.  Stay in line of sight of the doorway."  I lead him with my eyes over to <Hound's> coat where his guns are on his belt and nod.  "If you don't fix this, he turns your head into a canoe.  If you begin to move away from the door...he turns your head into a canoe."  I look back at the lackey and raise my eyebrows.  "Got it?  Good."  I grasp his shoulders and turn him toward the open door and give him a helping nudge that way so he intercepts the gang members.I'm going to eat 2 Stress to use Rook's Gambit so I can Command with my 2 dots from Sway here.  I know how to turn charm into deadly insinuation.  I've done it a time or two!Also, can I trade Effect for Position here (assuming Standard Effect); Controlled for Limited?  I'm getting him out there pretty quickly, and with a plan, so he should be able to at least bumble his way toward diffusing the situation?Hound:  Yeah, when <Slide> pulls the gaze gaze toward my hips, I'm going to open my coat and show 'Scarecrow' my well-cared for Templeton & Slanes.  I tap one on the butt with my thumb and give him a slight, menacing smirk as I do.And I want this to be Set Up to move the Effect back to Standard.  I've given him plenty of incentive!Lurk:  I'm putting the glint of my blade in his line of sight before I set him free and I'm giving him a squeeze on the back of his neck to intimately remind him of the threat hanging over him.Assist <Slide's> Command for 1 Stress to me but +1d.[HR][/HR]So 3d6 Command (3 Stress to the good guys) and whatever final Position and Effect.  So:a)  What default Effect Level are you going with?b)  What do you think of the Position:Effect negotiation?  Final outcome of Controlled:Standard?c)  If you would, roll those 3d6 for Comand, tell me what you get and what happens next?</blockquote>
