[QUOTE="N'raac, post: 6110546, member: 6681948"] In a nutshell, two players wished to use their narrative authority to avoid the city exploration, an they were overridden. The sole difference between pre-spoiler and post-spoiler is who overrode their narative authority. Does it matter? Whose narrative authority should take precedence? In this instance, two players prefer to skip the exploration scene. One wants to play it out. Whose wishes take priority? Let's make it more balanced. Fighter wants this scene skipped. Maybe we know from prior experience he is likely to "get shirty" unless he gets his way. Wizard wants to play out the scene, but does not want a confrontation with Fighter. Cleric Player is OK with either approach, but chooses "skip scene" because this is consistent with her character's backstory and personality (plus, she's getting a ride with Fighter, so having him get shirty will be extra painful for her). Rogue Player is similarly OK with either approach, but her character's personality and background don't really lean to either approach, so her character just goes along with the rest. Whose narrative authority takes precedence? The GM is explicitly not taking either side. [/QUOTE]
