I have nothing against Necromancers. They give out a lot of XP when you defeat
them.
There is no hard rule for defining what is necro and what is not. I think
something is necro when it happens long after interest on the thread has waned.
I think nobody even remembered the Discord discussion, which for me scores as
necro. I bet Tracker1 lives in a dark tower of power and spends his time
reading black tomes while listening to The Spell and raising dead threads from
the grave.
