Call for Judgment: Are terms we create in the rules Keywords?

Timed out 1 vote to 3. Failed by Kevan.

It’s not explicit that terms we make up in the ruleset are Keywords, but it very much seems like it, which is why I have doubts. Just interested in getting a confirmation to know for sure.

If this CfJ passes, add to “Keywords”, after “A keyword defined by a rule supersedes the normal English usage of the word”

and terms created and defined in the ruleset are Keywords.

for the sake of confirming a pre-existing phenomenon in the ruleset.

A call for judgement has to specify a change in the ruleset or gamestate, this one does neither; I think all that has to be changed is the phrasing to something like

add the text “terms created in the ruleset are recognized to be keywords” under such and such place in the ruleset

Alright, added. Thank you.

“A keyword defined by a rule supersedes the normal English usage of the word.”  I think this pretty clearly already states that keywords are defined in rules.  We don’t need anything additional to say that.  Furthermore, this is the basic English meaning of “keyword”.

I sense a troubling like the pulling of a plug in the washpot of the gods.

against Per Oracular, this addition does read like a tautology.

I feel like this does not really have a purpose as Oracular said.

Also, this might make words, which already exist and are redefined in the rules not keywords anymore, since they have to be “created and defined” in the ruleset.
