The important part of the Duel of Wits

Recently I was trying to describe how a Duel of Wits worked to those unfamiliar with the game. This is what information I shared:

The Duel of Wits is that part where the players roll dice and put roleplay to it.

I looked at what I’d written and realised that I’d not described the processes of the Duel at all but instead I’d described a bigger picture. I didn’t talk about choosing actions or bodies of argument.

The important part of the Duel of Wits is the context as given by the game’s framework.

I feel like I knew this already but I’ve just found another way to show it.

Hi Guy,
You’ve diagramed the approach to a DoW.
Very nice.
