They're simple rules applied to complex situations, that somehow result in favourable outcomes most of the time. It's when they screw up that you need rational thought to develop a more complex method of dealing with the situation.Evolutionary psychology aside... romantic angst. Here's an idea suited for more rules-lawyer-esque players: Give bonuses for love. Say +1 to all rolls when defending your beloved, faster healing rate when in their arms, stuff like that. Then give them conflicting goals, where seeking these bonuses will impair their ability to complete a mission.It's all about speaking to the innermost heart of the player. And if you have to use hit-roll bonuses to reach that heart, then it might just be worth it, because once you find what motivates them you can start jerking them around on a chain and generally behaving in a manner reserved for romances.</blockquote>
