[@PlatinumSkink] I actually didn't give the piece a title.  I think Terminal just added that to distinguish it.  ^.^;;

As for creating a character that knows things I don't, as in the Internal Debate story, it happens to me all the time, so I can understand where [@WiseDragonGirl] is coming from.  My characters will know things I don't, or are supposed to know a great deal about subjects where I'm clueless, and I end up having to look things up.  Alternatively, they start taking on traits I don't intend them to, or doing things I'd rather they didn't.  This happens to me all the time.  I have a vague memory of telling a teacher in elementary school that I couldn't do some multi-step assignment without starting over because the character I'd come up with wouldn't pay attention to some scenario or other.  I got very confused when I was told I should make her pay attention, because it's her choice, not mine, and wasn't this how everyone wrote things, by asking the characters what they'd do?

And don't even get me started on Nikki's twenty-something self, who decided that sixteen-year-old James was the most awkwardly adorable thing /ever/ and she was going to get him to like her whatever it took.  Two years later, there's a baby (although that /was/ an accident, and mostly the fault of a third party in the rp.  Who messes with a gal's birth control, anyhow?!)  Thank goodness age of consent in that canon is not the same as where I live, but it's still a bit creepy and most definitely embarrassing.

As for losing an argument, if the opposition makes solid points, and counters your points, I'd call that a loss.  You can keep arguing, but it doesn't make sense to after a certain point.  The prompt specifically mentioned conflicts of ideals and viewpoints, and those are going to be discussions, so I feel it's a valid way to go about this challenge.
