"Say yes or roll the dices"
If the GM choose to roll the dices, the player immediately recognize that NOW he can fail, and has no doubt about it
That's the big difference with "Roll the dices and if you want fudge them". With this approach I don't know if this "rolling" is really interesting, I don't know if my PG is really fighting for his life... I'm in an illusion, always asking myself if I'm in an intersting and unpredictable situation, or the GM is simply driving me somewhere
"Say yes or roll the dices" means that you have to roll the dices only when it's REALLY interesting for the partecipant to have an unpredictable outcome... and if you roll, the outcome is unpredictable, FOR SURE
"Roll the dices and if you want fudge them" means that the GM simply choose if you succed or not, because he choose after seeing the outcome
