[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 752677, member: 552"] That doesn't help at all. I'll try this from a different angle to see if you understand when I approach it this way. I know what a style match is. I'm not dumbfounded by the rules. I asked something that isn't directly contained in the rules, is it appropriate for me to include a complete interpretation of my post in a style match? It might not spring out to someone how my interpretation was done if I refuse to actually include the words from the generated move, and being permitted (or not permitted) to demonstrate the interpretation in the post would be crucial. I'm not going to actually use the words from the generator, and I'm never going to interpret a location or style as a 'rat style' or some other such non-sense. It's not realistic or even remotely useful in a literature sense. Instead, the motives, symbols, and associations make for a much more fluid interpretation, however, mayhaps an explanation would be necessary. However, I also can see the opposite angle, that an interpretation that was included would possibly disuade the actual importance of a post, and instead turn the focus into 'which interpretation of the interpretation is more accurate and better done' which goes against the flavor a style match is supposed to take on from the beginning. Do you see why I'm questioning this particular? Mayhaps it would be appropriate to see what the concensus was on this from a general perspective on other forum users. Some may believe one way, while others see the other angle. I'm stuck trying to figure out which is right, and the rules simply do not express this particular problem's solution. [/QUOTE]
