         TWO-WAY COMM CHECKSHEETS



    TWO-WAY COMM, USING WRONG QUESTIONS





Two-way comm is not an art. It is a science which has exact 

rules.



Foremost in the rules is



   DON'T USE A LISTING QUESTION IN TWO-WAY COMM.



By a "listing question" is meant any question which directly or 

indirectly calls for items in the pc's answer.



Use of "who," "what," "which," instantly turns a two-way comm 

into a listing question.



Listing questions are governed by the rules of listing and 

nulling.



If you use a listing question accidentally in two-way comm, you 

can get the same bad reactions from a pc that you would get on a 

wrongly done list.



The reason for pc upsets in two-way comm is hidden, as it is not 

apparently a listing process, rarely gets the correction a bad 

list would get.



Asking "who" or "what" or "which" during a two-way comm after the 

main question can also turn it into a listing and nulling process.



Two-way comm questions MUST be limited to feelings, reactions, 

significances. They must NEVER ask for terminals or locations.



EXAMPLE: "Who upset you?" in two-way comm causes the pc to give 

items. This is a LIST. "What are you upset about?" does the same 

thing. "Which town were you happiest in?" is also a LISTING 

question, NOT a two-way comm question. Any of these result in the 

pc giving items. They are not then nulled or correctly indicated. 

The pc can get VERY upset just as he would with a wrong list. Yet 

the session is not a "listing session" so never gets corrected.



EXAMPLE: "How are you doing lately?" is an example of a correct 

two-way comm question. It gets off charge and gets no list items. 

"Are you better these days than you used to be?" "How have you 

been since the last session?"



"What happened" is different than "What illness," "What person," 

"What town," which are listing questions.



                REPAIR



When other things fail to locate the upset of a pc look into two-

way comm processes in the folder and treat them as L&N processes 

where the pc has answered with items. The relief is magical.
