At the roots of roleplaying
rgrassi:
Before replying to single questions I'd like to better clarify my point using images instead of words. If it's a problem, please remove this post and I'll "switch to words". If anyone thinks that my point is clear I'll go into further details with next posts. Otherwise please make questions in order to avoid any misunderstanding.

Sorry for the previous post. Images need resizing. And the last one references a file called "overview.PNG" instead of "overall.PNG".

For purposes of discussion, I am waiving the usual Forge rules about imagery. This seems to me to be one of the rare cases in which images are constructive.
Best, Ron

I think what your missing is that the personal imagine space comes from the shared imagine space.
Say we as a group have decided to play a role playing game. A bunch of us sit around and discuss what we'd like to play, let's say we settle on Dogs in the Vineyard. We then decide that someone will run the game and everyone else will run characters. The GM prepares a town the players create characters. They then start to play proper relating events and actions and determining outcomes.
This whole process is a sequence of sharing ideas. Every point builds on ideas that have come before, they are not springing full formed from one individual. Even the simple act of choosing the game and discussion around it has informed the players about the game and shared imaginary things.
The only point I see in discussing any personal imaginary space is to note difficulties in communicating ideas, where what you take from what has been shared or what you try to input into the game isnt shared properly. I would simply call them communication issues though rather than muddying the waters with more jargon.

It's in the step 4.
More, at the beginning of the game, if SIS is blank, personal imagined space does not come from the share (which is blank) and must be filled.
