Eh? No. That's why I get so confused by Ian's suggestion that these relationships should be put in *at chargen*. Because I certainly don't know all the relationships at chargen - I barely know the main keywords, half the time. So I've got no idea how he's doing this.
Let's get the original quote back in again:

"Make" "all", "in character generation".
The idea of allowing players to take whatever relationships they like, whenever they like, yes, fine, as I say, I do it all the time. Nothing to discuss there, we all agree. But this is different.
