Woah, you're kidding, right? I've never not played with a "no talking outside of Point of Order" rule. How would it even work if you can say things all the time, and thereby avoid learning when you're actually required to say them?

Oh, and I get a card for saying P of O during P of O, and another for talking about the rules.

It's usually clear when one says something intended to interact with the mechanics of the game (e.g. saying "That's the badger" on the Two of Clubs).

End P of O.

Teehee .... "End P of O" is just an abbreviation for the code to actually end a p. of o. (card to self for talking about the rules).
