If you want to quibble over who gets dibs on the name, then that is irrelevant toward the merits of each system.I don't think that you know what a simulation actually is, if you honestly expect anyone to buy into that. Any simulation is restricted to finite resolution, whether you want to measure time in increments of six-seconds or femtoseconds. Simultaneity might be useful for certain purposes, but by no means is it mandatory. Sure, and you could also play in Discworld, if you really want to. Don't expect anyone to take the game seriously, though.You might think that they are, and they might think that they are, but it is logically impossible. Your elf character cannot actually decide when fate or luck intervenes* and thus any such invocation prohibits role-playing while you do so.*Unless they can, such as by magic.</blockquote>
