Thomas Fred,

In that case, then yes! There’s a lot of really important stuff about roleplaying that happens outside the SIS. It’s a social activity, but it’s also an aesthetic one. And as such, a lot of the private stuff matters.

Not everything is shared, that would be silly, but some stuff must be shared, otherwise you wouldn't have a game. We might share the fact that Bob goes to a bar, but we might not share and understanding of why he does so (for instance). And authority is still, to a great degree (though not entirely), about who gets to say what in the SIS. The 'filling in the holes' thing? That's all about putting ideas into the shared space from the private space. Thomas Fred,
