Counter example:
Queen Guinevere has been caught in adultery, but her lover Sir Lancelot has escaped. Because the law demands it, and Arthur is famous for his justice trait, he is forced to condemn the queen to death even though he still loves her.
Some knights are sent to guard the queen in case Lancelot tries to rescue her. Sirs Gareth and Gaheris are to guard the pyre. Swearing that Lancelot is their friend they say that they will guard the Queen, but unarmoured.
Which lets the other players know how insanely brave/noble/nuts they are.
Alas, Lancelot turns up, in a full on rage, without really knowing who these knights standing between him and the woman he loves are.
At which point the other players collectively go "Oh hell. They were nice lads".
That's a great scene. It would be a shame if such things are impossible in HQ2.
