Also check out the book "seeing like a state" if you want a whole book version of that quote, including examples in forestry, city design and education.

There's also the chemistry version. If you are not part of the solution, at least you precipitated.
I'm in charge of laundry chores which means I'm in charge eof making the rules. And I agree. Or else you are handwashing it yourself if you buy it.
Yeah I got a Juggernaut for my frost orb build which went well enough apart from me getting killed by the heart's crazy damage. But my bro killed it and we escaped.
Can you master a dagger to get Nick and get the extra attack and flurry of blows? Would be cool.
Hm. Maybe play some Zelda. Or clean and listen to an audiobook. Never enough time for that.
Where can you read it?
This is past the third reading though, it's far from a first draft .
No the opposite. Those sites (G/FB) will be forced to negotiate with the news sites over how much money they now owe them, and the tech companies can't say "no I'm out I don't want to pay X" as that seems to violate the rules passed to the arbiters saying they must reject an offer if it means Canadians get less news.
So meta pulling links is gonna get contested, and they will be forced to hand over a bag of cash to pay for all the linking they have done.
I categorically disagree. The players can't know this, as the GM doesn't even know this.
However the characters can learn how large of a force they might be engaging, and use that to pace themselves. GM's can make this information available and reliable to players who seek this out.
What I mean by making it available includes throwing the information at them enough times that if it's missing they notice. So freely give the ranger "looks like a band of between 20 to 30 orcs based on the footprints and camp left behind". Or whatever.
And try and avoid screwing them over for using that info, I.e. "this isn't even my final form" can be bullshit unless you foreshadow it.
And now you have the characters making in game plans based on in game info, and interacting more with the world to make those plans. That seems a lot better than telling the players how many encounters you planned.
The way I think about this is somewhat novel I think.
Suppose we have two universes, everything the same, except one has free will and one doesn't. Would an observer be able to tell them apart? I don't think so. Maybe I just lack imagination, but I don't see how free will would actually make a difference.
Your decisions determine what kind of person you are and what kind of person you are determines what decisions you make. They are self reinforcing and tied up together in a big path dependant knot.
Wanting to be a better person also only works if you let it change your decisions, bringing you one step closer to being a better person.
