While I agree skip-to-play is a scourge on the earth, this post seems a bit adversarial. Let's discuss the reasons why skip-to-play is bad:

1. It prevents any sort of discard management: If you're after me to with two trash chop cards I can't do anything to encourage you to discard but empty clue. If the player after you has cards worthy of clues -- you then clue them and you don't discard your trash. Optimizing for discarding trash is very valuable.
2. It breaks bluffs. If I skip you to clue a playable card and then you play left, the player after you has to assume it was a bluff and now doesn't play their playable card.

Any other reasons this convention is sub-optimal?
