I was just floored by the idea of a compel as outcome. I had really  
ever grokked the idea of a compel being a complication other than in  
the here-and-now of the situation at hand. It blew compels wide open  
for me. It's an enticement to he GM to not only complicate things (as  
is their job) but to complicate them in ways directly related to he  
PCs aspects.
