Just another blah question

This is a classic case of a conflict between two disads: Duty and Sense of Duty (or possibly two different SoDs). There's two ways to approach this.

One: forbid conflicting disads; this certainly cuts down on paperwork, but you can't anticipate every situation that might or might not result in conflict.

Two: Deal with the character angst IC, and as the player, resign yourself to the possibility of violating one of your disads, for the normal penalties of such. Obviously the best route out is to find some way to fulfill both, but if that was easily possible, we wouldn't be talking about it as a conflict case. :)

If you end up with two disads conflicting that would cause you to gain no CP for the session for violating them, and you can't find a way to fulfill both of them, you may just be stuck not getting CP for that session. Crap happens, and that's why disads aren't free points.
