Player characters allowed to tell the story versus only GM is allowed to tell the story

GM

You have set out to cross the forbidden woods. At the crossroads before the entrance to the woods, an old man approaches. "Don't go in here, it's not safe"

-He seems to mean it guys! What does your character say to him? Quickly, he's walking away!

Player (how it is here):

-The old man is my father.

"Hi father, what have you seen?"

Normally a GM would say 'no he's not your father'. A player should ask the GM whether his character knows the old man (actually the player should assume the character doesn't know the man, because the GM would have said so if that was the case).

To me the way you describe it, it seems more like a RPS, a roleplaying story, than an RPG, a role playing game. I guess we differ in the styles we like. I grew up playing hero quest, which is completely structured, there is no room for negotiation, if you loose you loose, then went to First Quest, which is still very structured, with everything worked out in advance.

Right now I feel it's too easy. I'm not feeling the constraints the GM should put on me, and I don't feel I'm playing a game, I can do nothing wrong.

Does no one play the AD&D way, where most of the storytelling is in the hands of the GM?

Akihiko Academy for Ninjas

BlackCat said
@wouterNo, it is realistic-ish. It can be attacked by enemy samurai or ninjas, though.

But would it okay for me to write that the school is under attack by ninjas?

Why would she do that?

She is traumatized. She does a lot of nasty stuff.

I think she would do it to draw attention, because she's afraid of not making friends, and because she wants to assert dominance.

But mainly she's just difficult because her parents died when she was young.

Wait, wouter, what does snap out from behind mean?

She tries to hit the book with her hand, so that it flies across the room.

Lala came walking into the classroom, late as usual. She had a towel around her neck and was steaming from the shower. In passing Kiro, she tried to quickly snap out from behind, at the book he was reading, so that it would fly across the room.
