I think what you want to talk about is what I think is less ambiguously refered to as ruleset. So I do in my post explicitely state I believe certain rules can support or hinder given simulations. So my position is clearly that ruleset is relevant. However just as ruleset cannot be disregarded, for games that heavily rely on GM you cannot disregard the GM.Each player takes turns saying a single word. The goal of the game is to create a story.But that is not what I am saying at all <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />But do the jenga tower support the simulation? Is it irrelevant to the simulation? Or might it complicate/hinder the simulation when it toples in a moment the prescribed effect of that is tricky to justify as a natural consequence of the fictional state? What do you want to simulate anyway? Is it the genre of horror movies? Or arthurian court romance? That is the sort of questionsI think is useful to ask about the ruleset and situation to determine if it is good for a simulation.No, it is saying sim is whatever is helpful for providing a good simulation. I think that is more meaningful than sim is whatever provide this particular structure of rules regardless of if they might or might not support actual simulations.</blockquote>
