Quote:a troubling number of role-players seem to want every last little detail of their role-play planned out in advance
Quoted is a straw man; if you look through this thread or any like it you will not find anyone arguing in favor of planning open world encounters to the last meticulous detail. What is being argued in favor of is the establishment of purpose of interaction between two strangers. As you have not been addressing that argument it is very difficult to respond to your posts in a meaningful way.
Additionally, while random walk-up RP can bring with it some surprises that does not preclude interactions predicated on OOC communication from taking a turn for the surprising and dynamic.
