V,
So are we talking here about what we say at the table or what we do at the table?
Like, in your initial example would you still be talking about the same thing if the group was using that system and everyone draws cards and then without saying anything about it one guy throws down two hearts and says "Nancy is listening to you and she starts screaming, and Gary is right behind her looking like he'd like to brain you."
I mean, the system didn't get spoken outloud—no one said "I'm using two hearts to introduce to NPCs"—but it was clearly spoken at a structural level—two hearts went down, two NPCs came in.
So is that two different examples in what you're talking about, or two different expressions of the same example?
