    83 Logan,
       
    84 
       
    85 IIEC refers to intent, initiation, execution, and completion; it's a
       
    86 followup on one of the "talk about it later" topics in my essay. The
       
    87 thread, begun by Manu, is
       
    88 http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=774 <"<a>">here.
       
    89 
       
    90 A related thread, a similar followup and also begun by Manu, concerns
       
    91 task/conflict resolution and similar stuff,

   117 Yoicks!
       
   118 
       
   119 Looking over the history of the discussion, I discover a terminological
       
   120 shift!
       
   121 
       
   122 It was, intent, initiation, completion, and effect; now, for some reason
       
   123 I and others have been calling it intent, initiation, execution, and
       
   124 completion!
       
   125 
       
   126 Damn! I call a terminology conference. I like the "execution" part for
       
   127 step 3 (I think Fang commented about how "completion" was too, well
       
   128 "over with" to be just right). I also think "effect" or "result" or
       
   129 "outcome" would be right for the last step.
       
   130 
       
   131 So, IIEE? IIER? IIEO? Damn! All comments welcome.

   154 I was going to guess IIEC was acronym-speak for "If I Even Care" . . .
       
   155 
       
   156 I like Intent, Initiation, Execution, Effect - double-I, double-E.  IIEO
       
   157 ("Outcome" at the end) works too, but makes me want to turn it into
       
   158 EIEIO. :-)

   182 Hey,
       
   183 
       
   184 I think Outcome is probably more precise than Effect, in that it
       
   185 eliminates any hidden Narrativist bias toward resolution systems that
       
   186 always move the narrative along, always produce an effect. In some
       
   187 games, the Outcome is "no effect".

   213 Quote from: Ron Edwards
       
   214 It was, intent, initiation, completion, and effect; now, for some reason
       
   215 I and others have been calling it intent, initiation, execution, and
       
   216 completion!
       
   217 
       
   218 Damn! I call a terminology conference. I like the "execution" part for
       
   219 step 3 (I think Fang commented about how "completion" was too, well
       
   220 "over with" to be just right). I also think "effect" or "result" or
       
   221 "outcome" would be right for the last step.
       
   222 
       
   223 So, IIEE? IIER? IIEO? Damn! All comments welcome.
       
   224 
       
   225 I always prefered IIAC: Intent, Initiation, Action, Completion.

   252 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
       
   253 I root for IIEOC (Intent, Initiation, Execution, Outcome, Consequence).
       
   254 
       
   255 I choose to separate Outcome (the localized impact of the action) from
       
   256 Consequences (the big picture); Let's say it's all about swinging a
       
   257 swort at a troll: O would be the possible wound to it, and C would be
       
   258 the impact on its morale, and maybe on the morale of  surroundings goblins.
       
   259 
       
   260 Another example: a character tries to seduce a noble lady: O would be
       
   261 the efect of the smooth talker on the lady, and her reaction to it, and
       
   262 C would be the triggered consequences on the Relationship Map
       
   263 surrounding her.
       
   264 
       
   265 Note that in both cases, the action might have been initiated with the
       
   266 initial intent of reaching the goal of C, and O is just a "side effect".
       
   267 Narrativist gamegroups might have a field day with this kind of way to
       
   268 look at things, and I even see it in Ron's Elfs, personally. (palyer's
       
   269 action as O, and character's action as C)
       
   270 
       
   271 Just my 2 cents.
