Feedback Stage

So I'm considering, rather strongly, a pre-Acceleration stage reprint of Bliss Stage. The reason for this is that the Acceleration Stage game is clearly taking a lot longer than originally intended, and I'd like very much to have hard copies of the game to sell. It will, of course, go to pre-orderers at near-to-cost.

As promised, the FINAL ACT scenario will be taken out of the next version. What I'd like to hear from people is what they'd like to go in. Since I'd estimate %50 of the hard-core Bliss Stage fanbase reads my livejournal, here's where I'm posting it. Feel free to point others here.

Here's some things which are definitely going in:
1) Errata about unfinished rules (most glaringly, starting Bliss scores).
2) Revised rules for Bliss from broken relationships, which tone down but do not eliminate the "kiss of death" effect (1, 5, 8, 10, 11 if you're curious)
3) Rules for resolving ending the game without resolving all the hopes, which is the only truly "missing" rule I've found in the game so far.
4) An explicit example of a low-intimacy sexual relationship.

What other sorts of things would you like? Nothing that requires serious additional playtesting, please.
