I agree that the threshold is too high, maybe something like higher than 5 would be better. But that just Ian thinking, not saying it out loud. I could perfectly have that thought if I had a close friend like Perry, I just wouldn't tell it to his face once we talk about it.I dunno; I think that the threshold for comment where Ian is actually sympathetic about Perry's situation is set too high. You need to have 8+ relationship with him, which effectively requires to never ever do anything that'd upset Perry. Otherwise you get a middle comment which covers whole range of 3-7 and is pretty meh:
"Oh well, sucks to be him but he was a loser. Anyway..." isn't exactly what a friend's reaction should be, even if it's not a very close friend.Python:if ian_perry > 7: $ fian = "sad" "I felt bad for Perry, but at least he had been true to himself. I hoped things wouldn't turn awkward between them from now on..." elif ian_perry > 2: "That sucked for Perry, but he knew he was fighting a lost cause. He played his cards terribly, and this was the result..." else: "Perry's self-centered ass got what was coming to him. Did he really think Emma would return his lame feelings?"
