Right now, you get a ! when you hover over a card where your opponent has more symbols than you.   Sometimes you want to share a dogma.  But if it's an attack, it will just do nothing.  I haven't played enough to know if there is a time when you want to just burn a turn by launching a futile attack, but it seems to me that there should be a difference between share a dogma (maybe a good idea), and totally waste an action with a impotent attack (probably not a good idea).

Well if there's an exclamation mark and the dogma starts "I demand" then you know it will outright fail. If it does not start "I demand" but there is still an exclamation mark, then it will be shared.

I think rrenaud is just suggesting that the distinction be made so that he can eliminate options faster.  If he sees an exclamation point he still has thinking to do, but he doesn't if he sees the "do nothing at all" symbol.

Also, I should throw some f.ds nitpicking at you and point out that you are incorrect, many dogma effects start with I DEMAND, but then have a secondary effect that can be shared, like Oars.

Ftr rrenaud, I have deliberately burned a couple turns so far with failed attacks, it happens when I don't want to empty an age stack and let my opponent get to the next age, or when I have no cards in hand and my opponent has a steal from hand attack so I'd rather draw nothing than draw something.

Theoretically I could create a stalemate with the first situation but that hasn't come up

You're right, but I figured people around here were intelligent enough to understand what I was saying without me needing to clarify.
