This is tidy. I like it.

Having “Battle” as a synonym doesn’t cause any problems with “Battle Master” as the Emperor title, does it?

I think then I just become the “Scuffle Master”

My worry is about how this works with pending proposals.

If I write a proposal that refers to the line “If there is no open or pending duel, the Battle Master may Schedule a Duel” and then someone changes “duel” to “Squabble” then suddenly that line no longer appears and so my proposal does nothing

@Clucky That was my first thought but the “synonyms” line at the beginning covers it I think.

I disagree pretty strongly that being synonyms allows you to simply replace one word with another when doing a string comparison. Just because they mean the same thing doesn’t mean the strings are the same

Withdrawn, I think Clucky’s right on text replacement exceeding the plain English concept of what a synonym is - it wouldn’t fly in other contexts for a replace-X-with-Y to also replace Z, where Z was a different but synonymous word.
