You know, it's not unreasonable for a DM to say that a player character is not running, unless they say that they want to take that action. You have to bend backward pretty far to twist that into a negative, which is what Ovinomancer seems to be doing here. 

You can't convince me that you don't know exactly what he means. I bet everyone else in this thread does. You don't need to read between the lines to understand that Aaron does not make assumptions about a player's actions, unless they explicitly say they want to take a particular action.

That doesn't mean that players are encouraged to use any other word than the word &quot;run&quot; to circumvent the rules, OBVIOUSLY!

This includes, &quot;getting the hell out of dodge&quot;, &quot;getting the heck outa there&quot;, &quot;make like the wind&quot;, &quot;move as fast as my legs can carry me&quot;, and every single other way you can express the same action. It's about the player clearly stating his intent, not which exact word he uses. And Aaron even further clarified this later on... which I would not even have bothered to do, since it is so painfully obvious what he means.
