So, if I were feeling mischievous, I would be tempted to ask why those who feel that they would have no fun with a same-sex lover role are perfectly capable of having fun as a bloodthirsty werewolf ...
Or indeed seemingly have no problem with the possibility of a married downer being the lover of someone who is not their spouse...

I know, these wild crazy Yanks, if they're not guzzling away at each other's bloodied corpses they're committing shameless adultery, makes me feel like Mary Whitehouse*, I tell you....

Indeed. And no one seemed to have any qualms over me committing virtual bigamy in the Duelling Wizards game either.

Caranlondien has just left Hobbiton.
As one of the apparently few non-conservative North Americans, I have nothing against Werewolf with same-sex lovers. But as this is rather a hot-button issue (well, I don't know about the rest of the world, but here it is, at least), I find Cailín's ruling quite sensible.

Though I did find Lalaith's comment funny

Not a big issue here. If anything people think that it's only natural that same sex marriages should be allowed.

I am pro, but don't really care. . .

I find it both ironic (I live in a country where same sex unions are legal but sexual discrimination isn't) and a dangerous threat to the divine right of moderators. Moderators should be free to choose the game format. Players are free to join or not. The tail should not wag the dog .... yes I am a liberal-tyrant......

Wow, I make one itsy bitsy comment about some of the funny situations randomly picked lovers could create, and look what happens! From my personal perspective, I'm morally against it. (RIGHT WING NUT, OVER HERE) however, from a gaming perspective (and a realistic perspective) we should allow it. If the lover's are picked randomly, then we won't be able to narrow things down. Besides, there' no garruntee that if they're picked randomly then they will be the same sex. So if we want a good game then they ought to be random.
