However, at the same time, it's important to actually be honest about what the penalties are about.  Saying there's a -1500XP 'too much combat XP' penalty and a -750XP 'buffybot' penalty when, in fact, it's really a -2250XP 'too much combat XP' penalty is fundamentally dishonest and bound to cause strife.  If you'd just put down that the -2250 was for us getting XP too fast, rather than making up alternate (and rather offensive) reasons, there would have been absolutely no objection.
