You have a goal for GI - "I want to meet my contact and ask them X," and then we work out it's a Sway because you're kinda leaning on your Bluecoat friend to do something shady but they'll do it; and then based on your roll (generally a Fortune roll unless there's an obstacle), the game gives you an explicit set of informational outcomes that the player should expect:There's a bunch of suggested questions in the book that are very concrete answers that the player will get actionable info from regardless (even on a 1-3 you get a way forward). The actual words the GM says may be made up on the spot, but the overall outcome is governed by the rules. And it all feeds back to the player's goal.<a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/gm-fiat-an-illustration.712258/post-9634950" target="_blank">Also, I thought we'd answered the "how long a score is" quite completely with the actual guidance from the book:</a> use clocks if you want to be ultra transparent (although that starts to feel off rq); play to find out otherwise. You know the end state of the score (failure, or the Goal/Target); to proscribe a "You Must Be This Long to Ride This Score" would be to violate a bunch of fundamental design priorities of the game.</blockquote>
