To “Traits”, add:-

A Trait may be Diminished, tracked by including that word before its Nature in the list above; Traits are by default not Diminished. If a Trait is Diminished, a Detective may remove that that Trait from themselves, if the Trait was not Diminished at the time they most recently gained it. If a Diminished Trait is possessed by no Detectives, or has been Diminished for the past 72 hours, any Detective may removed its Diminished state.

Set “Discerning” to Diminished.

Per Pokes’ unhappiness with You Can’t Hide Fishy, if we weaken the usefulness of a Trait we should probably give the owner the option to drop it and choose something else. This wouldn’t be automatic, it would just give us the option to say “set X to Diminished” as part of a proposal that made Trait X less desirable.

for (but I’m understanding if it doesn’t pass - I stuck my neck out fair and square and paid a (small) Nomic price)

for I’m glad this exists. I didn’t even realize when I was adding traits that you can’t remove them.
