[UA] Risking it - Sunbjectivity or objectivity?

[Michael Price]

  Here's my take on the "Russian Roulette with a 
secretly unloaded gun" controversy.  Entropomancers 
gain charges from knowingly taking risks.  Picking up
an unknown gun, holding it to your head and pulling
the
trigger is risky because it MIGHT have bullets in it. 

But if someone deliberately prevented your activities 
being risky then you get no charge.
  This lets you know when people are deliberately
minimising your risks but does not allow you to 
"detect" danger.  After all you don't get a charge 
unless you think you are doing something that could be
dangerous and you're not likely to think this unless
it
is at least potentially so.  Kicking in a door in a 
random house and charging in without looking isn't 
dangerous enough, but if you have reason to believe 
that danger lurks (e.g. you traced a serial killer
here
) it does.  If do something that SHOULD be dangerous 
and you don't get a charge it means someone has 
minimised the risk.  
  Of course if you really want to screw with the 
player's heads then tell the entropomancer he doesn't 
get a charge because his friend removed the bullets.  
If he's angry tell him he feels like throwing the gun 

down in anger.  If he does, the gun goes off and the 
bullet ricohets all over the room.  Have the 
entropomancer roll for whether it hits and how much 
damage it does and give him a significant charge.
