Mechanics Questions and Tactics Question

[JMendes]

Hey, :)

Con:  It is hard to convince other players that you care about the character when you don't.  Most people won't go to the effort.  They'll let other players know that they don't care.  Now here's the thing:  Other players are likely to pay attention to the characters being played with passion ... which is, in this instance, not you.  So even if you make a perfect attack on somebody, which forces them to stake debt ... you may not see those as story tokens.  Instead, you may find yourself scooped by another player who comes in as your "ally", provides passionate, interesting opposition, and captures the attention of the eventual winner.

Huyah! Right, that's not "why the strategy isn't game breaking", that's actually "here's the counter-strategy", which is what I was really hoping for, so, yeah, I'm down. :)

Cheers,
J.
