It seems that we have a different views of what is "realistic". Besides, the system sometimes says things that don't fit your vision of reality. Any system does that, and sometimes the good ones offer you results that might not fit most people's vision, but are more natural than what most people imagine. Because life is more complicated than what anyone imagines!<br/>AW just tells you these are the results, and you get to describe them in the fiction. Granted, that might be harder on a forum, since you can't really offer feedback while CotG is writing.<br/>Another way is to ask you instead "well, what does Rez have to do so Warner would be frightened, dismayed or impressed"? Because we can assume she sensed that by instinct and did what was necessary...<br/>Obviously not applicable on a forum, but well, I think the only Vincent Baker game that is made to be played on a forum is Sundered Skies! He's a guy that admits even PDFs were new technology to him, and in part still are ;D. Not designing with forum play in mind is to be expected. I'm surprised we even got a single game like that in the Sundered Skies combo, and kudos to the guy!<br/><br/>All of that said, and purely out of curiosity, can you tell me what do you disagree with? If you're inclined to do so, you can send me the answers via PM.<br/><br/>That gangs have different rules than the military? Well, they do have a different purpose, and aren't bound by Geneva convention, or even laws. Just imagine how much worse it would be if they had grown in a mostly lawless society.<br/>That they've got even stricter chain of command? It's based on status, but it's there, and it's real strict.<br/>That they have a harsher way to punish both insuborsination and threats to the leader's authority? I guess you don't disagree on that one, as disciplinary beatings and shooting you without a jury are frowned upon in most modern armies. They're the order of the day in gangs, though, as I'd expect you to know.<br/>So, if you don't mind, I'd like to have the answers to those questions. If you feel like it, no pressure!
