I wrote this over there, but I'll write it here too. It reminds me of a thing I've been pondering since reading some other AP reports. I keep seeing "Ask questions" used as "Make a statement about the player's character and follow it with a statement." That seems to be crossing a line too in the other direction.
"Have you ever gotten into any trouble in this town?" vs. "What was the name of that person you killed the last time you came through this town?" for instance. The former is the kind of question I'll ask. I think the latter is the MC stepping over a line and were I the player I might tell him/her to back up the wagon.
