Marriage and the game

Well IMHO marriage should have no game mechanis effects. It is more
something for added enjoyment in the game role-playing wise. In 2054 a true
legal marriage will be hard to come by. One both participants will need SIN's.
They will also have to pay money for a marriage licesne. If they want more than
a license- like a cerimony - they will have to shell out more money.
Also rememeber there are people who just as well could be married but
aren't "married" CRUSH and Spirit were a fine example of this untill recently.
Just because you are married does not mean that you work better together. There
are many people who are married and often fight, it is whether they make up that
decides if the marriage will last.
How well they play marriage, whether a good or bad one does not matter
IMHO, should decide what effects there is on the game. I tend to give more
credit (lower social tn, karma, whatever) if players role-play well.

You're kidding, right?

*chuckle*

Marriage, if anything, should be ROLE-PLAYING, *NOT* Roll-playing. The idea of
giving them extra points for free is ludicrous, and smacks of other things.
