David,
I'm not sure. Maybe? In that case I'm hopelessly confused about all this. But I don't think so.
What I'm asking about is what puts the characters under real pressure in this scenario?
I guess that the principle is "don't let up until we've got to what we wanted", where "what we wanted" is communicated both explicitly and non-explicitly.
But I really don't know!
Maybe using a different example might help?
Vincent: The first link above, with the kind-of-sucky Certamen. I read that as an example of the system (at first) not preserving the in-fiction conflict of interest between the characters, and things kind of sucking as a result (so you changed the system to make it work better). Am I reading that right? It's not what the thread focused on at the time, but it's part of the issue, yeah?
