I'm not interested in the question of how that should be categorised. If it is categorised a certain way and turns out to include elements that "shouldn't" be in that category, then I can only say that it is not my intent to fit my approach to any category in the first place.Okay, so roles and equality. The roles are equal because almost all of what ends up authored, is authored in directions players have chosen and in fitting with their ideas about the kind of world their characters live in. What we discover about the world is driven by their interests. And by equal, I mean that I get a say, too.About the game text you quoted. My view is informed by the whole game text, weighing some parts as advice and other parts as rules. That makes it hard to reconcile our views because you are quoting only part of the game text, including much that I weigh as advice. According to what I've argued up-thread about Rs and Zs, I would put it that we aren't referencing identical Rs, because yours is not complete, and our Zs are profoundly far apart. [EDITED] That leads you to conclusions that I feel aren't justified, and me to conclusions that you feel aren't justified. Without somehow bringing our Zs nearer together, it could be quite difficult to improve on that.</blockquote>
