Hi all, My game at [https://dashingdon.com/play/delliot/the-butler-did-it/mygame/](https://dashingdon.com/play/delliot/the-butler-did-it/mygame/) is having an issue with one of the paired stats, and I can’t figure it out. I have another paired stat that works fine. It’s supposed to read Artifice - Honesty, but I’m just getting Artifice. I thought maybe the names were too long, but I’ve tried making them shorter as well, and it didn’t help. ``` opposed_pair Manners Mayhem opposed_pair Honesty Artifice ``` Any idea? Thank you! ---

If you want Honesty shown on the other side you’ll need to add it after Artiface. The name after the opposed\_pair command is the variable name. Note you should only have one variable for each opposed pair, the names displayed are just labels. Try: ``` opposed_pair Honesty Artiface Honesty ``` ---

@Delliot, It may have something to do with your spacing, but I’m not sure. When I downloaded your choicescript\_stats as a text file, it looked like this: ![stats](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/choiceofgames/original/3X/0/2/023275f3610b6bc90eeca9bac496523beab5a69e.jpg) ---

@Carlos.R His spacing is fine. The .txt files uploaded at the site sometimes can look janky and weird, but the compiler should runs through them just fine. * * * @lunawisp Well, that’ll turn [Honesty] into [Artifice], which can make things _really_ whoppy to track (increase honesty to increase artifice?). * * * But I think she nearly nailed it. @Delliot, instead of ``` opposed_stats honesty Artifice Honesty ``` try ``` opposed_stats honesty Honesty Artifice ``` I’m not sure that’s the case, but maybe that’ll beat the common sense into the compiler that nothing is wrong in your code. ---

Thanks, I’ll try that later on. Sounds right! ---

I think the problem is either in the spacing or the code. I changed Honesty and Artifice to another Manners and Mayhem while keeping the exact same spacing and this happened: ![stats](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/choiceofgames/original/3X/5/e/5e74228a32677cae96ea8248b324d78e876b8e29.jpg) code: ![spacing](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/choiceofgames/original/3X/0/4/045d12a999ce5f50148811a20f24c70106218199.jpg) ---

Yup, @Szaal had it! Thanks to @Carlos.R and @lunawisp for their efforts as well. I threw it up on a new instance so as not to invalidate tester saves, here it is working right: [https://dashingdon.com/play/delliot/tbdi-testing/mygame/](https://dashingdon.com/play/delliot/tbdi-testing/mygame/)
