English term or phrase: played out
En una guía sobre la construcción de historias (estudios de caso, proyectos, iniciativas), se resume como "desarrollar la acción" en la frase que sigue abajo. La parte que no me queda clara está entre asteriscos:

"the cause and effect sequence of events as they unfolded and ***were played out for*** the leading characters, ex. turning points, twists in the plot, surprising and powerful responses, etc.

¿Se podría decir: "... de hechos (o sucesos) así como se fueron desarrollando y ***lo que significaron*** para los protagonistas?

SOCORRO!
GRACIAS

Hola Álvaro,
Tanto tiempo! estoy haciendo algo que no me gusta pero que creo es necesario... o sea rechazo todas las preguntas, dándome cuenta que mis explicaciones no daban cuenta del contexto real de las historias. Por favor, ve los comentarios que hice a los demás. Saludos y gracias!

It is perfectly clear that this is a deliberately chosen series of metaphors (referring to the development project), and thus would use the same terminology as if they referred to a literary or dramatic unfolding and playing out.

Also, you may not be familiar with the use of \'to play out\' meaning
\"soltar gradualmente\" (example: he played the rope out). So the events are unfolding (sucediendo) and playing out (desarrollandose, desenvolviendose).

Hi again Ruth,
I'm sorry but I think I will have to decline all answers. And it's probably due to a lack of clarity on my part. I think the "leading characters" was misleading, as it made it unclear that we were not talking about a play but a story about a development project. Thank you anyway!
