So with the whole friendship thing being so confusing and definelty not in favor of the newer players, I decided to even out the field a bit. What I'm thinking of doing is the following:

Love Interest will be considered close friends. Will turn into Boyfriend/Girlfriend upon upgrade, and is equivalent to best friends. With that explained, here we go.

Best Friends: Start with One, Max of Three

Friends: Start with Two, Max of Five

Like: Start with Three, No Maximums

Neutral: Lots of Characters, No Maximums

Dislike: Start with Three, No Maximums

Rivals: Start with Two, Max of Five

Enemies: Start with One, Max of Three

All raises and decreases must be mutual in nature with few exceptions (based on challenge rewards).

Try and choose these largely based off either canon and/or the previous season. Specifically, consider placements at least. For example, with in canon Owen and Duncan were close and could be best friends, they litteraly never met until the off season. As such, at best it would be realisitic for them to be best friends or maybe even friends. Also, don't have an archenemey from last season (or even someone you generally disliked) all of a sudden be your friend. Basically, keep things realistic.

What does everyone think of this system?
