When you use the Stealth program to conceal information about the node.  It's an odd thing - it can't hide the node itself, so it's inevitably going to make someone more suspicious.

Me, too.  I'm glamorous.

I'll be sure to poke fun at/hit on your character for those reasons.

I'd assume it actually just makes us immune to each other's glamour.  It doesn't make sense for 2 guys to be glamoured by each other... especially an elf and a snake.  In your post, it should be whether and aisle.

How so?  I didn't say anything about how it works, other than asserting that 2 people with glamour would be unaffected by it in the other person.  If I have glamour, then I wouldn't think "Oh, that snake has unearthly grace, his voice is soul-wrenching, his countenance is radiant."  At best, I would think "Oh, he seems better than the other people.  Similar to me, somehow..."  I don't think we would show any particular awe, deference, or kindness to each other due to glamour, as we're both equally as glamorous as the other.

Not really.  Glamour doesn't at all impact how you perceive others - there is nothing about it that could possible cancel out another person's Glamour, because it acts in precisely the opposite direction.  Now, mind you, provided that you both still have Glamour active with regards to each other, the BONUSES would effectively cancel in any opposed rolls, but the difference is very important in case of, say, opposed rolls after one of you has displayed hostility (thus denying you the bonus).

Not really.  It would definitely impact how I perceive others.  They would all be less graceful, less eloquent, less-me than me.  Another glamoured person would just be magically on par with my awesomeness.  As for the rolls, that's not what I'm talking about, nor do I think it's what Ary is saying.  We're talking about the rp side of it, the 'fluff text' of the glamour quality.  Of course, it's all guessing, since the book doesn't cover something like this.

Well, if you're inclined to RP your character as viewing everyone else as "less than", that's certainly an option - just not something intrinsic to the quality.

Depends on how you see it.  If you see it as a magical illusion that gives a false impression of grace, nobility, purity, whatever to affects social skill rolls, then sure.  No fluff, and it's all fake.  If you see it as a paranatural quality that actually gifts the person with grace/whatever, then they would live their lives being treated well and fully aware that they were more than other people in certain ways.

The way I see it, the sources of our glamour could work on completely different mechanics. As for the crunch side of it, I see absolutely no reason why we would actually roll social against each other, except maybe judge intentions.

Glamour is explicitly and specifically not magical.  But just going through your life having a gift for dealing with people doesn't mean you think less of others.  It's an option, but not the only one; that's all I'm saying.

You're overstating.  I didn't say anything about "thinking less of others" in the way you're implying.  They are less graceful/etc.  It's a fact, not a prejudice.  As for not being magical, that's exactly why I see it the way I do.  It's actual gracefulness/etc.

We'll see how it all turns out in RP, if he's supposed to be a snobby whatcha callit from the elven nations then he is, so far he seems like a normal polite person with self confidence.
