I would like to make it perfectly clear right now: If the in-game messaging 
system institutes delayed messages, the we will hold all strategy sessions via 
IRC, Yahoo Messenger, and/or MSN Messenger because they're more 
convenient for us, and not to because we want to circumvent the game 
features.

There. Now you can't ever accuse us of cheating for not discussing things via 
the in-game message system. Because, you know, it's just more convenient for 
us to use a different method.

Why have a rule if you can't ever enforce it? Is it for warm fuzzy feeling of 
having a rule?
