Proposal: [Core] [Recusant] Core proposal standardisation

Amend “Recusants” in “Drafters” in the Core Rules by replacing this text:

An Idle Drafter may post or vote on a Votable Matter provided that its effect is entirely limited to amending the non-dynastic ruleset.

with this text:

An Idle Drafter may post or vote on a Votable Matter provided that its effect does not include, even conditionally, the creation, deletion or amendment of dynastic rules or gamestate defined by dynastic rules.

The earlier proposal “Only Humans” was intended by its author to allow Recusant votes, but did not because the category of proposals described in the Recusants rule excludes some non-dynastic proposals. This is intended, if I phrased it correctly, to alter the rule to bring it more in line with the definition of a dynastic proposal.

(On another note, it strikes me that this almost-a-metadynasty is a great time to look at any other core rules fixes people have been putting off to consider at a better time; I’d love to hear if there are any!)

This should probably be “gamestate solely defined by dynastic rules”, because when dynastic rules override or modify a core rule (which happens quite frequently), they end up partially defining parts of the core gamestate.

We made that change to “dynastic action” a while ago, and it’s been beneficial at least once, whilst I don’t think it’s had any detrimental effects yet.

All that said, maybe it would be better for Recusants to not be able to change parts of the core gamestate if it’s been modified in a dynasty-specific way?
