That's true of course, but I think in this case the exception is justified. I 
mean, a minigame as such has little to do with the main game, except that it 
is played by the characters in the game with means the gameworld provides.

But the ideas and rules behind are pretty much unrelated to everything else, 
and people involved in the design and creation might not want to follow 
dozens of 'harcore' Adonthell discussions.

However, I promise that I won't start a new ML for every new thread ;).

Anyway, although we can't delete a ML after it is created, we can make it 
private, which is nearly as good.

Good idea. My summary on magic will go to the general list then.
