Purely ignorance on my part; I made the assumption that there was a normative form (polyfidelity, apparently) and that the rest would be considered non-standard. I was an undergraduate back during when it polyamory was reaching mainstream attention and know people in polycules, I just never had much real-life interest in it (great to fantasize about, but I barely have time for my hobbies with a single partner) and didn't investigate it beyond the way that people I personally knew practiced it. Didn't expect to learn something from the pornographic college sim, but I'll take it!Actually, Polyamory is complicated, there are a ton of flavours, that work differently. The spectrum goes from polyfidelity on one side, which is same as mono relationship, but with more than two people, to polyanarchy on the other side. It is huge thing, so here is an infographic:You must be registered to see the links
But one thing that distinguishes poly from non poly is that Polyamory is ethical non monogamy, so it requires open communication and respect to work.
Just finished week 1 of my custom seeded world, where polyamory, exhibitionism, and voyeurism are the norms, and nerds don't literally stink. So far things are working as expected, albeit there are a few characters who the game says I've seen naked without having any particular event attached to it (I'm guessing in the showers?). Loving how easy to modify this game is; if I can do it, pretty much anyone can.
