I that case the example is perfectly valid and good play, the rules allow for a good consistent experience, but some people feel this breaks their sense of how a simulation should behave.Or, the move was supposed to be a step in a simulation, where the player was supposed to honestly provide what they thought was the most likely meaning of the runes, disregarding their own preferences. In this case this seem now to mostly be accepted as a perfectly ok way of simulating things. However this is the case in which someone feel this smells like cheating, as they have trouble believing that the player indeed was honest in their guess.You seem to in this post argue for the first perspective, while you in other posts appear to be arguing the other perspective. In terms of this analysis these two scenarios are contradictory. A player cannot both be supposed to try to pursue the benefit of their PC at the exact same time as they are supposed to try to disregard their own preferences.This is why I tried to get clarity if we were talking about "conjecture" or "hope", as that could at least be a indication which of these scenarios we are looking at. That is, are the player supposed to try to fully disregard their preferences when stating the proposed meaning of the runes in this game?</blockquote>
