I was so happy when I learned of the exploit of simply turning your damn phone off. It was the only way to "maintain" the relationship mechanic while actually playing the game you want to play. Anything else (letting the phone ring or telling the person to fuck off) penalized you. Oh, and I loved how if you randomly DID want to throw darts the other friend could tell you to fuck off with no penalty.
