** Seamus tries for this only for his girlfriend to call him out: "Seamus, [[OneOfUs we've both been playing this]] [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend since junior high.]] I don't think I need preferential treatment."

* '''Lampshaded''': "OK, Alice saves. Everyone else take 2d+4 damage."

* '''Inverted''': Seamus makes sure his girlfriend's character [[{{Jobber}} loses all the time]], probably to avoid changes of favoritism.

* '''Deconstructed''': This obvious favoritism ruins the dynamics of the table. Personal relationships should be kept out of {{RPG}}, especially if (let's say) Seamus is a much better/more experienced player than his girlfriend. Otherwise, other players feel slighted and the game is ruined.
* '''Reconstructed''': Seamus's girlfriend is new to gaming, and his preferential treatment encourages her to keep playing and improve her skills. Eventually, she doesn't need any extra help and he stops favoring her. Gaming together improves their relationship.

* '''Played For Laughs''': Seamus's girlfriend is really, ''really'' bad at the game, and has dismal luck with the dice, but Seamus keeps going easy on her. "All right, roll to see if the arrow hits... [[OhCrap roll to see where it hits...]] [[EyeScream roll to see if you blinked...]] The arrow bounces off of your eyelid! No damage!"
* '''Played For Drama''': [[NiceJobBreakingItHero An argument ensues, and friendships are ruined]].
