Besides, I seem to remember the questions guidelines requesting you to do so, but now can't find that anywhere.

Lonkka is not just being pedantic about card text, he actually has a point.
Read through the card text, then answer yourself.
SatTF requires a melee weapon. Is Garrote a melee weapon? Check.
SatTF requires QUI for +1 dmg. Does Parnassus have QUI? Check.

Better option than garrote is wooden stake though..... Guaranteed torpor trip with that

Warning: Spoiler!

Strike at the True Flesh

[qui] Only usable before resolution of a melee weapon's strike. For the remainder of the round, non-aggravated damage from this weapon's strikes cannot be prevented except by equipment or by other strikes.

Garrote

Melee weapon.

The problem here is that there is no clear yes or no answer to the question.

The fact that you can apparently not parse a simple instruction sequence to come an unavoidable conclusion is not my problem. He is answered, clearly, with all logic shown. I want him to understand why, not spoonfeed information. YMMV

Then you are not following the guidlines stated in the "how to make a rules question look good," particularly this part: "If "Yes" or "No" is enough to answer your question without leaving any doubts, then it's perfect."

There's a reason this is in the guidelines. Please follow them. Thank you.

This is not the reason why card text is requested in rules questions. The reason given is that card texts from sources other than this website (at the link I provided previously) may be outdated. There was never an etiquette reason for including card texts in rules questions. Now, is it helpful to add card texts to rules questions for those answering the questions? Sure. But all card texts are 2 or 3 clicks away. Lets not act like it's some major sin that card text was not added to rules questions. People who are new to these forums may not know to add card texts. Can we just answer the questions and politely tell the poster to copy/paste the card text with a link to the card texts next time? Thank you.
