No, it's definitely a format (though you'd be forgiven for not seeing the description, that was pages back). Â This format was specifically developed for text combat without using rolls and such in active RP media, and was specifically used for contested actions. Â That's why I don't recommend using: Ignacius would raise the glass to his lips, intending to drink it. Â That's assuming someone's going to contest my beer swigging, which is either desperate or not particularly smart.
That's why I said if you're not using it, you're not worried about what would happen as the consequences unfold. Â The consequences of me drinking something aren't immediately an issue for everyone else unless I'm drinking some kind of magic exploding suicide potion (in which case, I might use the format). Â It's fairly noticeable when someone starts including the conditional that often and what for.
You don't even have to necessarily use it for that, but it's a LOT easier that way. Â It means not having to crash the flow to OOC for things that you might otherwise need to crash to OOC for.
