NGH, IWNAY and trust

Fair Game: More Alphabet Soup
In this case the 'alphabet soup' is IWNAY or 'I Will Not Abandon You'. Contrasted with NGH or 'Not Getting Hurt' (also Not Going Here).

These are ways to think of the social dynamic between players and the promises made about game content while RPing.

I'm pretty much a IWNAY moderator, but a NGH player. I just don't have that many buttons to push as a NGH.

I've written here of how my first Amber campaign involved NGH promises about style, flavor and PC vs PC betrayal before the group would buy into playing. These are good tools for building trust.
