I have another prediction!
I think that continuous rules and immediate rules complement each other, as do rules where you know how things will turn out before resolution (karma?) and rules where you don't (fortune?).
If you know how resolution is going to turn out before you commit to it, it leads to negotiation and positioning and description, so that you get to an advantageous position. But without some uncertainty, there's never that impetus to throw yourself into the conflict, to commit.
