The use of hieroglyphics may add clarity to the rules. OK, me bad. I'll leave now. :-[

Ah, but this fundamentally misunderstands Barkerese.  It's not that we can't decipher it, it's just when we do, the words don't seem to make sense.  It is therefore more like the prophecies of Nostradamus.  Some, indeed, believe that DBA 2.0 predicted the pandemic, if only we'd read it correctly :)

Yeah, I thought Anthony's comment brilliant too and spot on.
