Like nactation

In Response To: Like nactation (Stick)

I've read Nack's intro and more on it. I get it. I do. And for the first 2 or 3 plays on either side it can be useful. But when long drawn out sequences are nactated it no longer serves its initial purpose.

It become convoluted and serves a purpose contrary to the initial useful one.

Languages created for games and movies have a purpose but using them as living languages is not the intended purpose. They become far less useful when used in a capacity for which they were not intended.

And I seriously doubt that nactation enhances your playing ability.
