Add the following to the end of the “Spelling” section of the Appendix
Unless otherwise specified, the capitalization of letters or lack thereof shall be construed as irrelevant for the purposes of play.
In the rule “Random Generators” section of the Appendix after “The GNDT can be used to generate random results. ” add
These commands are case sensitive.
Avoiding further confusion. the DICE commands are case sensitive though so need to clarify that.

Why against?
It can’t even be self-interest, as Calls for Judgement pertain to the state of the rules at the time the actions were taken; even if this passed before Syntax Error resolved, it couldn’t be used as an argument.
Bucky:
1)Because we do have some other capitalization conventions that matter (FOR, AGAINST and VETO are voting icons; for, against and veto are votes).
2)It breaks rules that talk about wiki pages.
3)It feels scammy. I can’t articulate why, though.
Clucky:
stuff like FOR votes I think falls under
“Scribes may correct obvious spelling and typographical mistakes in the Ruleset and their own Pending Proposals at any time”
RaichuKFM:
It seems more like a pass-and-patch in an exception for the voting icons, and wiki pages, I think?
After all, ARROW isn’t a voting icon,
is; :arrow: not working means an exception is necessary, but I don’t think it’s immediately game-breaking?
Bucky:
The ruleset uses ARROW rather than
internally because it’s severely inconvenient to embed voting icons in the actual ruleset document, and because writing and discussing proposals that discuss voting icons shouldn’t automatically invoke them.
The other immediate problem this has is that the Ruleset is a wiki page. RULESET is also a wiki page, but with different content.
