Diceless resolution mechanics
Audience judgment
As used in Shreyas Sampat's Mist-Robed Gate: the participants describe their actions, after which the other players vote on whose description deserves to win. Can be a straight vote, or as in MRG, in which every player places stone representing their vote in a bag. One of the stones is then drawn at random to determine the winner.
