Okay! So, for example, special actions like the following should NOT be included:

- Poisoning Thaddeus Campbell

- Handing over Lady Boyle to Lord Brisby

- Trapping Delilah in her imagined world

- Leaving Corvo/Emily in stone

While those like the following (which also aren't listed here) would be okay to add, since they aren't just a way to deal with the main objective or otherwise directly related to it, but rather particular ways of navigating the level, discovering special areas, or just small acts worthy of mention:

- Surviving Abigail's revenge (The Dead Eels - not necessary to complete, since you'd have to encounter the trap first)

- Maintaining Overseer disguise, leaving no evidence behind (A Stay of Execution for Lizzy)

- Found the Brigmore Crypt (Delilah's Masterwork)

- Avoided triggering any traps (Delilah's Masterwork)

If any of these last ones aren't okay, I must admit I'd find it really hard to clearly distinguish between what is and isn't acceptable. Gray areas are a hard thing to maintain here.

(One more thing that pains me: By those rules, sniping Arnold Timsh on the balcony, with Billie watching, clearly shouldn't be mentioned here, since it's a way of dealing with the main objective - on the other hand, it's an opportunity that is really easy to miss, isn't mentioned on the mission page outside of its special actions list, and fits the mold of "peculiar little actions you can discover" so perfectly. She even gives a unique comment! But as I said, gray areas aren't good, so in favor of clarity exclusion's allright here I guess)

Sorry for the bother and my blockheadedness again, really hope everything's clear after this!
