Christoph: Polaris' key phrases aren't well-illustrated in the early cloud-smilies-die picture, but they do appear in the Two Timelines picture. See the little U- and upside-down-U-shaped arrows, smiley to smiley? That's where Polaris' key phrases fall.
They're a formal component of the interactions between the players. They're basically the same as things like who's the GM, when someone reminds someone else which dice to roll, whose character is whose, when someone goes on a tangent about real-world historical warfare to get everyone on the same page about what's happening in the fiction, and so on.
