Re: [s-b] [s-d] Consultation: Consultation Answer Effects?

[Tyler <wisety@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I think I've been won over. My arguments are somewhat nitpicky, and
Wooble's solution is probably better than what we have now. I still don't
like how the new rule section might create disagreements about the
interpretation of the effects of Answers, and I still don't like how Answers
aren't game objects. But I'm ok with moving forward on this, and seeing how
it goes.

I would claim Wooble's Answer to Consultation 129 to be Consistent, but I
can't because I'm the Supplicant. So it's 1 to 1 right now.
