[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 3656158, member: 12941"] So, I think we've derailed again. I'm going to go further to rein it in this time. The "signpost" approach" has failed, some I'll just be a roadblock instead. (This is what happens when I ask specific questions and you refuse to answer them. I hope it works.) m_n, as noted before, doesn't care about the flavor stuff. He thinks the rule is cumbersome and mechanically unsound. He all but refuses to speak on the subject in any other terms. Ti doesn't care about m_n's concerns and instead focuses nearly exclusively on the flavor. The discussion between these two has, therefore, been nearly anti-productive. I will proceed then with my assumptions about what they would say, if they were willing to talk in the same language. I'm of the opinion that the rules in this context are a burden. I suspect that if we play using the RAW in this context, we will find that they are a burden. However, I think there are measures to be taken to mitigate such. So, I'm going to do what I can to mitigate the burden in that manner (e.g. not rush you guys through possible downtime, if possible). We can then re-visit the issue later and discuss it again with the benefit of more experience either effectively dealing with the burdens or finding the burdens to be too much. So, RAW for now (sorry worthley), and the issue to be re-visited at a later date. [/QUOTE]
