[QUOTE="Bumbles, post: 4808782, member: 83457"] So...you are standing by your adamant requirement of it? Or am I misunderstanding what you're saying? If so, then, ok, we're back where we were 2 pages ago. Why? What is the reasoning that the system or the GM must be that restrictive? I am not asking for you to explain how one can benefit from such details, or utilize them. I know how you can. I've done it myself. What I am asking is why the system would require it. Need. Not how one can use it. Why it is needed. Absolutely. No excuses need. There's description: I'm going to go over to the guy and scare him off my woman! And what you'd seem to be requiring which is more like having to say some of the examples you gave earlier. Not saying. But having to say. Now I can see how you might use some of those things that could have been said, but I do not fathom your requirement of it. I can quite easily understand what the Player wants to accomplish with the description given, and figure out how to proceed from there. I can then explain to the Player how it'll be handled in the rules, and if we're in agreement over that, then we'll proceed from there. Yet it would seem that'd not acceptable. I remain wondering why I must insist that the player be very specific and say something in character. I am not wondering how I could use it. I am not wondering how it could be beneficial to extending the story. I am wondering about the requirement of it. [/QUOTE]
