A pejorative term coined by Ron Edwards in his Narrativism essay for a style of roleplaying. He defines it formally as "a form of Illusionism practiced among all the participants upon one another to conceal both Step On Up and Story Now priorities from one another." In simpler terms, this is an analogy for players who insist on not consciously acting to structure the story of the game, yet getting satisfaction only from story structure to appear in the results.

This is problematic in how it differs from Threefold Simulationist play, and in particular Open Play. Presumably the difference is that Ouija-board players are not actually satisfied by such play, as opposed to those who genuinely enjoy the unstructure events of Open Play.
