Abstract: In this article, the author reflects on the first run of a simulation he created for second language students. The participants, however, were his colleagues in a graduate-level materials development course, not language students. His initial reactions to the way his colleagues interpreted their roles reveals how little ultimate control the designer has on the outcome(s) of his or her simulation.
