One thing I love about small games like this is how often I've seen someone really capture an experience, and this one is distressingly true to life.

Thank you! I aim for mild torment.

I wish some big name Indie games had the great advice on framing/setting a scene that you have put in a 500 word game seed!

Thank you! It means extra-much coming from THE Becky Annison.

I don't think I'm 'the' anything ;)  but thank you

This is really great, and I bet you could hack it for a variety of different kinds of situations.

Thanks! I'm thinking about that myself, deciding everything from the monumentally important to the trivial. The mad king's advisors promoting war or peace, the submarine commander and his inner circle deciding whether to rise, etc.

Yes! But could even be more mundane than that, more like "task resolution" where you're trying to solve a really intractable problem where complications and difficulties arise ("excuses"). Like, imagine the recalcitrant player is the GM portraying some difficult task, like you have to repair a spaceship to escape this planet you've crashlanded on. And every time you think you've got it fixed, something else goes wrong.
