[Black Cadillacs] - The final push

[Adam Riemenschneider]

Okay. So, is it fair to view the Foe's use of Narrative control is to push the player's buttons, and the use of Chit control is to mechanically affect the characters?

I guess I'm munchkin-ing a bit, but as a player (with my Gamist cap on), I can't think of a reason I'd want to call for Chit control unless I wanted more Valor. There doesn't seem to be such a thing as too much Valor (it means my character stays in the game). If I want to retire my character, I can see if end-game kills him, or I can give up on Chits (or make sure my Horror and Hubris end up higher than my Valor) and let my soldier get rotated home.

I get what the Foe's job is when it comes to owning Narrative. But when it comes to owning Chit placement, the only mechanical goal I (as Foe) have is to keep player Valor under control so I can win Initiative. I realize I might be missing something, and should really paw over the PDF you sent me before I attack the idea any further.
