Apocalypse World / Re: Yet another combat move choice question

Not sure how to do quotations here, I'm a low-end user. But in regards to SbF being used initiate violence, you're right in that if both sides are prepared and "knives are out", that's the move. Anything can happen obviously, like a pc moving to better position (act under fire), but an exchange of blows is definitely SbF.

My contention (and I think it's ultimately just a MC call) is that, was Barker prepared for Truth's sudden burst of violence? Did they have a fist fight, or was it more like a physical "fuck with me and die" type threat?

Truth's player here. Mechanically the scene did work out fine. I wonder though, isn't seize by force meaning that both parties involved are already dealing harm to each other in the fiction, or are at least poised to deal each other harm? If Barker is just sauntering up to Truth, not expecting him to preemptively strike, isn't there an argument to be made that the situation is going aggro? The action was described as  suddenly grabbing Barker by his throat and ordering him to back off. I always took go aggro to mean trying to get someone to bend to your will by using the threat of imminent violence that the aggressor fully intends to follow through on. Or also attacking someone before violence has broken out in earnest, or attacking someone who isn't in a position to properly defend against the attack. I also always considered go aggro to cover the kind of violence that can end if circumstances are met, and not like, everyone on one side has been wiped out.
Like I said it totally worked out and I suppose Truth was physically seizing something, but just to play devil's advocate, does any one else see this as going aggro?

I'm very interested. I've played in about 4 Apocalypse World games so far, including one where I MC-ed. Only possible problem is I live on the east coast, so the timing may not work out. What time were you thinking of starting om week nights?
