1. I would rather get mildly annoyed by ten "Scout is a bad card" jokes than let one brilliant joke go unposted.
2. Man scout is a bad card. I was just thinking about this in the scout thread when someone was like would you take a free scout with your Duchy and I was all no! no I don't want a free scout. and I take free duchesses like all the time, I am not picky.
3. If we start having threads with [Serious], inevitably it's going to happen that someone posts something a little tangential or edge-casey and the OP of the thread is all "but I put a serious tag!" and that thread will then turn into this thread that we are having right now, boooo.
4. Even if we could avoid (3), I'm concerned that [Serious] will actively cause threads not-labeled with [Serious] to disintegrate into junk.
5. But no seriously, it's bad. Like, it has +1 Action, you would think, how can a cantrip be the worst card? But it's still the worst card, in spite of that +1 action. I'm actually coming around to it being worse than Transmute.
6. I don't see a lot of value in long consistent threads. I recognize that this is controversial, but for most threads, either
a. The first post is an article with bunches of good advice, and I read the comments once and occasionally get a small marginal benefit over if I had just read the article,
or
b. The thread is a list of tips that are all good but don't really need to be in one place for any compelling reason. It never matters when these threads derail, and in any event they become obsolete and hidden.
7. I prefer a non-democratic resolution to these problems; there's a reason theory is benevolent dictator for life. Voting just means more time discussing this instead of other stuff, and eh.
