Non-combat encounter playstyle preferences

[Ariosto]

Ie, assuming I've understood him right, the opposite of what Ariosto said about half-a-dozen posts back.

The "opposite" of what that I said? I don't see anything but confusion in that clause! I made one observation about the dissociation of game abstraction from contextual meaning "as far as I see" in your proposed regime. I made a contrasting one about my own view that "it is the rules of Story themselves ... that demand attention."

I made no reference at all to Sorcerer or Dogs in the Vineyard.
