[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6005231, member: 6698278"] This is the crux of our problem. The terms. A guy a long time ago wrote a blog post called dissociative mechanics. He did so because what he was talking about was dissociative to him. So that term went into the vernacular. I realize now that a lot of the battle over this stuff is whether what he was talking about is or is not dissociative and whether there aren't other things he wasn't talking about that are dissociative. I don't care about all that. I care about the specific thing he was talking about. Maybe a better name is metagame dissonance. Thats the name I came up with when I wrote my blog before I even knew of the other blog. Plot coupon is perhaps another. What is frustrating for a lot of us, is that people keep denying that what this guy was talking about doesn't exist as a distinct set of issues. Other than perhaps just pure subjectivity. I am certain that these issues do exist distinctly and that some set of the populace doesn't like them. Call them whatever you want. [/QUOTE]
