So you're playing a game that for whatever reason rewards you for pursuing a romantic partner. All well and good: increasing Relationship Values that have beneficial effects, some game-mechanical in nature, others less so, has a long and time-honored place in games about relationships. But what happens if you get these bonuses for seducing everyone who's even mildly interested in you, rather than developing a single intense relationship? In these games, the ultimate path to power involves rolling every relationship up into a massive Love Dodecahedron, Katamari style.
