If you don't feel they've done a good job, I would suggest you go ahead and ask [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER] yourself. I don't feel the need to do so because he's thorough and specific in his answers to the point where I have a very clear idea of how he GMs and the kinds of principles he applies and so on. Also the games he tends to play tend to be more specific about the role of the GM and how they should perform during play. But it's still made up. To me, I think that is a huge divide in this discussion. Now, I understand how players may enjoy playing an RPG where they are playing characters who are solving a mystery with a predetermined answer. But that doesn't change the fact that the predetermined answer was still made up. The fact that it was made up days or weeks before play doesn't really make it any better, or any less subject to conflict or anything like that. Nor does it make it more "true". Yes, it's been predetermined and it's set before hand... but it's still made up. It could be boring or nonsensical or anything else that something made up on the spot could be.</blockquote>
