If I want to come up with lore or DECIDE WHO THE VILLAINS ARE..." (edit: the caps are for my emphasis) To me, those two sentences seem contradictory.  If Gonad takes steps to anger and have a war of vengance against someone - let's imagine the whole scenario of Conan deciding he needs vengance against Thulsa Doom - you are exactly deciding who the villains of the story are.  You're doing it with your agency and your words and actions - this is different than you saying 'Oh, of course I know the bartender. We went to school together'  I feel the friction comes from this side angle not being a piece of OP's lore, and the OP feeling you're not having a lore reason to do so.  Factor in how we're generally seemed to reach consensus these people are playing in a space where they are the only gamers, and gaming with gamers you don't like may be the only gaming you're getting for the summer.</blockquote>
