“What was your most awesome fight online about what does and does not constitute a story-game?”
While I’ve probably been in one or more of these on S-G, no specifics come to mind (and search is not helping).
What I have done is explain “Roll the dice or say yes” and “social conflict rules” a bajillion times on ENworld to people who either have no clue what they are or both have no clue and also assume they are horrible things that “take power away for the DM” and “emphasize roll-playing”.

And, sure, some of this is me being an indie dickweed fanboy, as one is wont to do.
“I am a monarch and I like that. I am a nice monarch. I ask my players before I do things.”
Man, I dislike that style of gaming so much. SO MUCH.

William Nichols Pro tip: Don’t hang out on ENWorld.
Great community, but last I checked that was pretty much the default mode.

I haven’t in … 10 years?
That’s an approximate guess. I have no idea. I was young and wrong back then.

I had someone attack me for designing Misspent Youth with a three act structure. Maybe I should write about that.

enworld is bad, all forums are bad, everything is bad, hail satan.
This question seems like it’s referencing fights that happened like 5 years ago.

I remember when people argued that narration trading couldn’t function in a game, at all. That somehow, I guess, all the fiction would magically evaporate, everyone would look at each other blankly, and forget what they were doing or something. Also that everyone who was playing these narration games were lying. (Of course, this was also the time when “don’t play with people you don’t like” got me accused of telling people to get rid of all of their friends (!!!)…)
