The RAW says that you should not do the same exact compel.  If the player bought out of it then that potential complication is done and you need to find a new one.  Otherwise, there's not much point in refusing the compel. 

Hi All,

Sorry if I missed this, I didn't see it in other posts.

When one incurs debt with their sponsor and get compelled, if they pay a fate point to avoid the compel, does that pay back a point of debt?  Or does it simply avoid the compel and the debt remains until they do something for the sponsor?

I'm inclined to think it avoids the compel and the debt remains. 

Also, if a character racks up a large debt, wouldn't it be more likely to get a compel to do something larger, more dramatic to wipe their entire debt clean?  Like, a single fate point is do me a favor back.  5 or 10 fate points would be lead an assault against the sponsor's enemy, steal something very valuable, really hurt, possibly assassinate an enemy, etc.

Thank You
