Precisely because its gameplay-related is what makes it interesting (to me,
personally).

It's like finding a lego block and finding that it somehow relates to the
beginning of the universe.

Also, there seems to be a "Critical Mass" of activity that the Ruleset/game
design can handle at any time.

Not sure what you're categorizing as "these discussions", but I was wondering
about a "judicial only" channel, as the judicial discussions get very long,
have a lot of back-and-forth, but also quickly disappear in the weeds and
look like noise for people who don't want to be bothered with it.

As long as the discussions of philosophy have implications on the game
state, this will never be a functional solution.

Also, if my deregistration statement didn't make it clear, the problem is
not philosophy on face.

DIS: A Solution to the Issue of Philosophy

Given the recent problems regarding philosophical discussion:

How would people feel about making a new mailing list for these discussions to 
take place and maybe the Herald could post weekly summaries to official? This 
would allow people to avoid the discussion without being completely out of the 
loop.
