I think for the purposes of sandbox play, that kind of elaboration is certainly good enough to approximate the feel of a real world. But there is a greater state of flux here that matters when we are talking about solving something objectively determined by the GM (which is why I said some people may in fact only have clues in play that were determined before hand: I personally prefer a more live scenario, and think as long as the GM is building on existing details to extrapolate, using procedures like rolling when there is serious doubt and applying good faith reasoning to teh responses (rather than for example making determinations based on the scenario being more challenging), it is fine. But do think this is a gray area in the objectivity and realness part of the discussion (it is one that will necessarily arise too so people will probably want to contend with it if this is a concern)</p></blockquote><p></p>
