I first tought you were talking about general play of the rpg, but you are apparently talking about the particular instant of play. This changes my answer.Do you remememer some hundred pages ago how you rejected my attempts of reading something GNS-like into individual moments of play? You appeared to argue that GNS was working on a more holistic basis, needing to take into account all of play.I think something similar is at work here. I don't think it is possible to take [USER=71699]@clearstream[/USER] 's concepts of simulationistic experiences and usefully translate that to a way to label an isolated moment of play as "simulationistic". The obvious attempt of such a translation is "Can a player have one of the simulative experiences in this moment of play?". However with such a criterion even then play of making a move in tick tack toe could be labeled "simulationistic". Two players might be playing as a side activity to pass the time waiting for their turn while playing a highly immersive rpg, and tick tick toe is so second nature to them that they can perform the moves without breaking immersion. This just as many report rolling a dice is not immersion breaking for them.I cannot see any good coming out of labeling this move in tick tack toe "simulationistic". And as such I do not want to take a stance on if the incident of reading the runes can be labeled "simulationistic". As with the tick tack toe play it clearly happened in an environement that could produce simulationistic experiences the way clearstream describe. However as apart from tick tack toe, there are merits to this situation that possibly could open it to be usefully labeled "simulationistic" via some other labeling scheme I cannot recognise right now.I hope this answered your question?</blockquote>
