In Rule 2.3 “Media Frenzy”
A Kaiju God may, once per day, post a headline to the top of that page, underneath the section header for the current day (creating a new section if there is not one currently for that day), adding their name in parentheses after the headline. The headline may include up to one of the phrases cited below (which will enact the effects listed for that phrase), replacing the word ‘Monster’ (when it appears) with the name of an active monster in the game that has a wiki page, and replacing the word ‘Neighborhood’ (when it appears) with the name of a Neighborhood listed in The City Document that has listed Building and Population values.
(emphasis added).
Although the rule states that a name of a monster that replaces the word ‘Monster’ must be long to a monster “that has a wiki page,” the term “active monster” is not defined explicitly. Furthermore, because Rule 2.3 involves the raising or lowering of Threat Levels, a Monster named in a headline must have a Threat Level.
Therefore, in order to remedy this, I propose that the following paragraph be added at the end Subrule 2.1.1 “Attributes”
Until all three creators of a Monster have given said Monster an attribute, that Monster shall be Inactive, and flagged as such on its wiki page as well as on the Monster Roster. Any Monster not Inactive is considered Active, but this is not indicated explicitly on its wiki page or the Monster Roster.
The rule goes onto say that “Any headline’s effect to an attribute, rating, or other value assumes that such a value exists; otherwise that specific part of the effect will be ignored.”
COV (again)—seems like this would help to clarify this concern, and makes it slightly easier to tell quickly if a monster is active yet.
