[Liquid] Well, I just rolled the dice for show

Vincent,
some people might just announce the arena their raise is in, which is enough for me to know the kind of fall-out. This might be an extreme example of stripping content from mechanics, but I can imagine it happen someplace, somewhere.

Vincent,
All I can see are two buttons - dodge or take the blow. I can't see how a lack of fictional context stops my hand from reaching out and pressing one. Yes, my choice would be largely random, but it'd still be my choice ("Take the blow sounds kewl! I choose that!"). I am still capable of choosing, despite no invested in SIS.
I'm trying to ask Frank if what he wants is, without an invested in SIS, there are no buttons there at - I can reach with my hand, but there are no buttons to press. I am incapable of choosing, having been presented with no choice/no buttons.
But if you see it as impossible to decide in your example as well, I'm pretty much screwed for a contrasting example and might curl up and leave it there.
PS: Not important to my point, but do you have to perfectly match the 13, or get a 13 or over? Just curious about the design.
Callan S.:
Oh, I should have noted

and the size of the fallout dice you accumulate depends on the precise details of my raise.
What you would say is based on the details of the raise, all I'd probably see is someone, by some rules (hopefully written ones) can simply decide the die size of the fallout. So again he could choose, largely at random, a die size for fallout - play (as in following the rules procedures) can continue despite there being no invested in SIS.
I can just never see it when people say 'The SIS/the details of the imagined space determines the value of X'. I can only ever see the matrix of player decision points beneath the veneer of the 'SIS determines X!', or I can see how someone is denying me the information that shows that matrix.
It's like being stuck on one side of a wall when everyone seems to be on the other, insisting the SIS decides/determines stuff.
Christopher Kubasik:
Callan,
For context, can I ask for a quick list of games you've played?
And could you name the games you're currently playing right now (say, in the last four months?)
Callan S.:
Hi Christopher,
You may ask. Perhaps in a private message?
