Well, no. Headpat, hug, kiss and grope (and sex...) dont have a *set* penalty - its actually fluctuating based on how much LLDH you have (fairly certain this extends to all interactions, not just the contact tab, but the contact tab specifically has really harsh penalties). If you try any of these interactions before the target has at least 11 LLDH (of any kind), it will result in a 3 hate count gain (rough...), but then it goes down past 11 LLDH to some dislikes (never paid much attention here, sorry) and goes even lower past 21 LLDH (like/love, specifically). So nah - that wont work, as i want the target to get dislikes specifically, so the target never interacts with me after eating twenty one (or more) dislikes.
As for praise? Succeeding grants you 20 partial love and like points. Failing gives you 10 in partial dislike and hate. Its not a big deal to fail this interaction, and it has an effect of actually normalizing the targets mood, regardless of outcome (oversight by the devs). In the end, this also wont work.
Ive tried to poke holes in the "Get the fuck out" interaction, but couldnt really nail what the LLDH gain was from it, and after i looked at it again, as mentioned, a lot of other stuff happened that could have shifted the outcome. Me fucking some chick in the middle of the courtyard definitely didnt help... hahaha!
I may try to shower someone with either good or bad rumors, as if the target refuses to accept them, they will generate dislikes towards me. I just dont know if those wont shift to hate gain at some point and foil my attempts.
Hmm...
