[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8979959, member: 82106"] I think it took you a lot of words to say "Just because we agree on the fiction in relation to its significance to the player character's personality/goals/drives, and the aim of the participants in the game is to examine that relationship, doesn't make the fiction inconsistent." However, we seem to basically agree here. I'm less sure I understand the later parts though! Instead I would just say that if something comes up which contradicts some earlier 'fact' within the fiction then participants will reinterpret things. The Wand doesn't always work. Is the owner a suspicious untrusting type who immediately suspects he was ripped off by his friend and instantly reclassifies him as an enemy? Does he doubt his conclusion and look for other explanations? Does he punish the guy when they next meet, or does he give him a fair chance to explain it? [/QUOTE]
