[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7508438, member: 6919838"] Again, i am not qualified to offer any helpful feedback on your rejection/relationship triggers. As for the motorcycle vs parents backgrounds two-step thing - if to you and your Gm the partial drawback-only vanishing of the cycle is good to go, thats great. no problems. happy for you both. But, thats not a style of meta-gamey problem dissolving i and my players are into. We prefer to deal with issues that matter in game in game, not thru the outside approaches. This is especially true when they impact what would seem to be choices that *should* in the game reality come with consequences - like say choosing an elephant over a large dog companion. But one difference is - i do not see a player who tells me "well, thats ok, i wont choose the elephant then" or "i wont choose the warlock, how about a wizard" as a dick or someone who i question the decency of - or even if they say "sorry - not the table for me then." I just see them as someone with different preferences who i hope enjoys the other options available to them. But then, i do not have whatever background you do that leads you to the other take. So what i can say is i hope you find folks who can help you be happy at your gaming and in all things. [/QUOTE]
