Hello folks,
It's Friday, and it's time for a Friday Question. Today's is a bit weird, as we're going to talk about anthropomorphizing whales. Specifically, George and Gracie. As of right now, they aren't considered to be romantic partners of each other. If you aren't familiar, romantic partner is a game term defined by personnel in their lore:
George and Gracie don't mark each other as romantic partners in their lore, even though they could be, mechanically. But that's the issue - do we imbue these whales with human traits by making them "mates"? Or is it better to leave such things to non-whales?
So that's my question for you today: should we make George and Gracie romantic partners? Aside from voting in this poll, feel free to reply and sound off with your thoughts.
Those of you in the US (or elsewhere that might have a holiday this coming week), enjoy! I'm looking forward to eating a lot of turkey and as much cranberry sauce as I think I can get away with.

The Glossary, Romantic Partner wrote:a personnel is the romantic partner of another personnel if the lore (on either card) both names the other and states that they are or were "romantically involved". For example, Pel and Quark are romantic partners of one another, but Pel and Deputy Quark are not. See named in lore.Being a romantic partner has a few uses in game, most notably with Holoprogram: Cafe des Artistes. It's also an area where I think there is a lot more cool potential for new cards.
The following terms (even if preceded by "ex-") are considered equivalent to the phrase "romantically involved": "husband", "wife", "mate", "married", "wedded", "imzadi", "beloved", "bride", "mistress", "widow", "divorced".
