====Harsher External Pressures====
If you want the game to be more heavily focused on external conflicts, then I recommend giving antagonists seven, rather than six trait slots. This makes the external forces acting on a character in conflict more oomph early on and forces players to resolve truisms earlier to be able to match them.
====Loser goes First====
Normally in a two person conflict, you just take turns to modify. In this rules variant, in each exchange the loser always goes first, and is followed by the winner. This effectively makes dual participant conflicts exactly like multi-participant ones.

In larger games (4+ players), even with quick cutting, some players will be watching the main scene while waiting for their own turn. This can be annoying. To give them something to do, switch control of the convention and motifs to those not directly in a scene. So if they narrate in something on top of an involved player's action, they can give that player the reroll...

If you find that the group feels like every conflict is about crow-barring in traits, this option will help (though being more critical as a group will too!). Assign each trait (not relationships) to two arenas, it can only be used in those. So Quick of wit - Social/Other.
