Stab vs. pierce

[EvilRoeSlade]

It seems that there is another issue here, that issue being whether or not it's appropriate to discuss what we know about the code.  When I see this:

Backstab is an excellent method of attack if one's presence ought to be  unnoticed by soldiers of city-states. (Of course, any ensuing fight can  attract attention.

I know exactly what it means code-wise, and how to use it best to my advantage.  It doesn't seem to be IC sensitive, more along the lines of common sense.  But is it appropriate to tell everybody what it means?  I have no idea.

But is it appropriate to tell everybody what it means?

Yes, yes it is.

Just to be clear, I was speculating on how many possibile outcomes there could be.  I don't know anything about the code.  I've never successfully robbed, sapped or backstabbed anything.    Ignorance is bliss, if I actually knew stuff I'd have to shut my mouth.
