2) If you make an Effect out of an opposed check, the Effect value is your victory margin. Again, in example: my result is 3, yours is 2, so I get to buy an Effect worth of 3-2 = 1. (Narrating the success, p. 29-30, is still based on the actual roll, not on the victory margin.) Right?
We did exactly otherwise during the session, which might explain the easiness.

In opposed checks you can only make an Effect out of the victorious check. The value of the Effect is equal to the full value of the victorious check, not the margin of victory. In general, the issue of margin vs. full value is another of those rules that have been frequently misread from the original TSoY text, but which I tried to clarify in the SS booklet. The basic principle is that unless the text clearly instructs otherwise, you shouldn't use the margin of successes for anything - you always use the full value of the victory. Doing otherwise favours unresisted checks too much in comparison to resisted checks.
