Triumph and Pain have more than 10x as much desire to relieve SHAM as Hope has to relieve anything. There's a divisor of 10 when Chosen want to relieve different kinds of Trauma, and you're beyond that in the difference between their Traumas.I read Skippy's downtime explanation on his excellent wiki but I still don't quite understand what's going on here or how to fix it. I was getting 15 EE per day (five each) and then I got Pain and Triumph's T3 Dignity breaks. Since then, they all spend downtime together and I only get 6 EE. Is this a negative consequence of them all being close friends? Is there anything I can do other than break Hope's Dignity (which I don't want)? Right before this screenshot, I put Hope and Triumph in a several turn Inseminate+ and they still decided to work off Shame afterwards.

Increasing Hope's FEAR to be on the same order of magnitude as the other two's SHAM would be the quickest way to make them separate other than the DIG break on Hope. The sum of the other two's SHAM is about 1.3G, so getting Hope around 160M FEAR should cause Hope to change over (may be as high as 195M Fear if there's an Unbreakable Friendship involved). As a plus, this'll also get you something on the order of 40EE from Hope's T3 MOR break that can come the fight after she hits 100M FEAR.
Personally, though, I don't think you should stress so much about preserving Hope's DIG. Megalomania is not a very difficult Distortion to achieve even with T3 breaks in both CON and DIG once you break through to late-game Commanders.
