8th Mar '22 8:21:53 AM

Crown Description:

Berserk Button is misused as "anything that makes a character angry". This crowner is to determine the conditions to make a Berserk Button. Vote up to maintain the requirement. Vote down to remove the requirement.

34 (Yeas:36 Nays:2) 18.00 : 1

The response to a press of the button should be disproportionate and/or temporary Unstoppable Rage.

29 (Yeas:34 Nays:5) 6.80 : 1

The nature of the button is oddly specific/absurd/minor, not something that would make any person angry (such as threatening a loved one, making a direct insult).

28 (Yeas:31 Nays:3) 10.33 : 1

A character can only have one or two buttons. Any more and the character has a Hair-Trigger Temper.

25 (Yeas:28 Nays:3) 9.33 : 1

A button should be recurring/consistent.

-15 (Yeas:5 Nays:20)

A character should normally be happy, calm, or stoic, and anger is atypical/out-of-character.
