Nothing in that post was addressed to you or attributed to you or expressed specifically as a rejoinder to something you have written. If it was, I would have quoted you and then posted a rejoinder or mentioned you to call your specific attention to my disagreement (as I'm doing now and have done in the past). As I thought I had outlined, it was my attempt to clarify my general thoughts on a few things as a pre-cursor to writing up my play example (which I didn't have the time for last evening and I may not this evening) which people can critique as they see fit. Accordingly, there is no attribution to you in the above section. Because what you have quoted is my own thoughts on the subject and thresholds for "agency" and for that of my group...as I posted below that that they were in agreement with those thoughts. As to the rest of your post, unsurprisingly, I'm in disagreement with just about everything...especially with the attribution of weasel words (again) and the inability to extrapolate what thematic content means in a game and specifically with respect to what it means when referencing PC build (Beliefs, Instincts a la BW or Distinctions a la MHRP or Aspects a la FATE) and the interplay with the concept of "Agency." If I'm inclined I might break out a rejoinder to your post but I don't think it will do either of us any good since we're back to arguing about weasel words and the utility of definitions. I'll likely cut to the chase and post my play example and folks can critique it or ignore it as they see fit. We will probably both be better for it.</blockquote>
