[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7825124, member: 7015476"] "So, let's say, three minutes into the first time the romance thing comes up between my character and another PC, I tap the X card. You're saying that everyone at the table would be so oblivious that they wouldn't be able to connect the dots? That I'd have to repeatedly do it because the players are, again, so completely oblivious, that they continue to pursue a romantic plot line with my character? That even after the second or even third time, they STILL wouldn't get it?" The following assumes that the person giving the x card and the reason for it are both not in anyway specified/indicated as that seems to be rampantly common in this thread from watching said thread for quite a while at this point. Yes. its delusional to believe the majority of people would inerringly know exactly what during 3 minutes occurred (or what part occurred) that precisely was the thing that caused an x-card. Find someone who has a trigger you know nothing of and ask them to tell you next time its set off a random amount of time between 0 min 0 secs and 3 min 0 secs after its set off. Hopefully they are up to the task and forgive you. You likely wont guess it. When yoi inevitably fall on your face (figuratively) and fail imagine multiplying the difficulty in discerning what the trigger was by about 5 because lacking the context of a specific person (one of your only and very small aids in this ridiculous task) and having to use theory of mind on 5 people (this is a task for emulation not empathy. People keep getting that wrong) all at once because everyone is different will be 100% necessary. I mean all of this with respect but factually most people who believe this is reasonably something that will unerringly be discerned without anyone giving prior specification of the triggers that are had are experiencing a delusion. It is inarguably unrealistic. The vast majority of the time in such a scenario (x card given for something undeclared that happened some time in the last 3 minutes) it is solely the fault of one who will not say what the trigger is if people fail to avoid it in the future. They and only they can ensure that the trigger is avoid with near 100% a majority of occasions. None of this is meant as insulting but im correcting the ridiculous notion that this is standardly possible. Far too many people in this thread have vastly unrealistic expectations. [/QUOTE]
