[QUOTE="loverdrive, post: 9031373, member: 7027139"] Because the players know what is established? I'm not sure if I understand the question. It needs no enforcement, because it's impossible to subvert anything without player knowledge. No Myth play rejects the idea that GM can write "door to storage area is booby-trapped" in her notebook and then use it as basis to declare how a PC opening that door explodes because they didn't check the door for traps. That's, more or less, it. GM can prep. Arguably, should prep. It's just this prep is not treated as part of the game. In Apocalypse World, for example, it matters jack what MC's notes say, "you open the door and explode" is not a legitimate move. Players can and should object, and their objections will be supported by the game. If someone suggests that No Myth demands the GM to never think about anything in advance, they are an idiot. I'd say the easiest way to think about it is to compare it to how a [I]player [/I]can prep for a traditional game. They can write and recite a bunch of one-liners, prepare a triumphant speech, whatever, and then leverage this work if a suitable situation arises in the game, but not much more than that. [/QUOTE]
