[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 7407380, member: 82106"] I don't think what you're saying is very much different from what I'm saying actually. The use of the terms is not all that different, and either meaning could be justified, with context and perhaps a dash of common sense differentiating, but [MENTION=23751]Maxperson[/MENTION] has refused to yield, HIS exact meaning is the ONLY acceptable one, and everyone else is supposed to get off his terminological lawn! Moreover, he then went from using a specific interpretation of terminology to (mis)interpreting myself and [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION] in some rather ludicrous ways. Maybe you weren't present at that point in the thread, I'm not sure how much of it you've read, as you were not posting during that phase of the discussion, IIRC. I refer to the point where Max insisted that our Story Now techniques were RAILROADING!!!!!! and removing players agency over their characters!!!??!! Pardon me if I am not prone to just letting Max define things willy nilly however he wants. He undermined my confidence that he 'gets it' a good solid 1500 posts ago!
