[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6815140"] I'll be honest, I can't say I'd be comfortable with that. As the son of a therapist, issues that require catharsis are ones that should be handled delicately in a personal environment. Now that might be your game, but that has not, IME been the games I have played in. That aside, even with your friends you have no guarantee on how they will react and such moments need to be properly handled and channeled to create good growth. It's possible you're a therapist, but that to me makes matters worse, you're attempting to provide therapy for people who may not want it and doubly worse, you're injecting yourself into their lives by assuming they [I]need[/I] it. Reviewing some of your earlier conversations, I'm going to go further and say that what you do would make me completely uncomfortable to be your friend. There are things I tell some friends and not others, because my level of trust with them is greater or lesser than another, or because I think they would be more understanding. These things are often told in confidence, that is, I assume you're not telling others about them. If I were to realize that you were taking the things I had told you privately and turning them into game elements, I would be absolutely ENRAGED. In fact I'm fairly miffed just thinking about it and this is the first post of yours I've seen! I think that's too much to risk over a game. [/QUOTE]
