Ape dynamics

ape dynamics, n.: any process through which a problem is solved by sheer physical force rather than by any appropriate action.
Ex: GM: "The attenuation activator on your mecha is busted. It will take four hours to repair." Player: "I bang on the activator repeatedly with a sledgehammer, and try again." [Dice rolled.] GM: "Huh. You succeed. Ape dynamics wins again." See B.F.I. [GJ1]
