I also love highlighting stats, but I am a big fan of playing perversely. The one time I actually played (rather than MCed) AW, there was little I enjoyed more than having my shit stats highlighted.

“Hard and Weird? But I’m a Battlebabe! Well, OK, I guess it’s time to get my head beaten in and see what the Maelstrom holds for me.”

I also liked using it in Monsterhearts to encourage my mostly-30something players to remember what it’s like to be teenagers, and just wake up thinking you’re awesome at something, only to be reminded that no, you are not. Or to expect you’ll be terrible at something and discover a hidden talent!
