He sees the guy in here who stole his woman's heart and decks him” I'd have had a problem with it, in that (assuming we've already played out the preceding soap opera) I wouldn't approve of the player so conveniently writing the other guy into the crosshairs like that. - we'd need to determine whether he was in fact here or not, be it randomly or by checking previous notes on what he was last known to be doing and extrapolating from there.</blockquote>
