Nescire autem quid ante quam natus sis acciderit, id est semper esse puerum. Quid enim est aetas hominis, nisi ea memoria rerum veterum cum superiorum aetate contexitur? -- Cicero, Marcus Tullius (106-43BC)

comment What policies should be made at the start of a campaign, to define the desired game experience and avoid bad feelings later?
Okay, edited my post. I think that focusing on the explicit rules is bad. However, if that is what you want to do, maybe my post would be better as a comment?...

comment DM organization ideas for Sandbox campaign
Sandbox game: A video game with nonlinear gameplay presents players with challenges that can be completed in a number of different sequences. from wikipedia. What I described is a method to cheat to allow the GM to work out interesting locations first and foremost. But that is a cheat. If you have the time to design a full fledge world/region, then more power to you. I do not. So I cheat.

@BESW: Answer edited. On a side note, do not try to cover all eventually with FATE. Play and run with it as long as whatever you decide enhances the story.

Just to be pedantic (^_~), you could argue that Arkham Horror is an RPG under your definition. I believe that a full definition would encompass some of mine with yours.

Assertiveness at work is a good starting point if you wanted to learn to be more assertive. To be honest, your description is assertive. However, how you say things do matter a lot so stressing to be assertive (as opposed to passive or aggressive) is worthwhile. Consider: What is your problem with the game? compared to I suspect that you are not enjoying the game. If that's true, what can we do to overcome the potential problems you have with it?
