RE: Intrigue and Adventure VS CoA Sims
It all depends on what your going for.
If your going on pen and paper then it's not the players responsibilty to come up with their own things to do, they just enchance and build on what the DM's create (the world and stories).
And if you want to let them build their own stories then let them. If the only thing you get is people wanting to build walls, or shelters then that's what you get.
I've never played an RPG where someone didn't create the original story and in my experiences it's always been the DM.
Being a DM=90% of the work + the satisfaction at the end of a great story
Being a player=25% of the work + the fun of adding your own little twist to the story that's happening around you.
Or not, just my opinion and experiences, hopefully no one takes this personally
