1. In rule 1.4 (“Votable Matters”), enact a new subrule entitled “Tags”—
Votable Matters have zero or more tags. Tags are represented in the title of a Votable Matter with the format “[X]” (e.g. “[Core] Wording Fix”, where “[Core]” is the tag). Votable Matters require the “[Core]” tag in order to make changes to the Core Rules, the “[Special Case]” tag in order to make changes to the Special Case Rules and the “[Appendix]” tag in order to make changes to the Appendix Rules. Votable Matters other than [[#Victory and Ascension|DoVs]] require the “[Victory]” tag in order to grant victory to an Individual.
2. Before rule 4.3 (“Clarifications”) enact a new rule entitled “Atomic Actions”—
An Atomic Action combines otherwise separate game actions into a single action.
* All steps of an Atomic Action are considered one action, including the steps of an Atomic Action that is itself a step of a parent Atomic Action.
* When an Individual performs an Atomic Action, they must complete all its steps; they must complete them in order; and they may not take any other dynastic action, or achieve victory, until all the steps are complete.
* An Atomic Action may direct the Individual performing it to skip some of its steps, which the Individual must do and in which case the skipped steps are considered completed for this rule.
* If an Individual arrives at a step in an Atomic Action and they cannot perform that step, they undo all the steps they have performed of that Action and are considered never to have performed that Action.
* If one or more steps of an Atomic Action were done incorrectly, the Individual must redo the Atomic Action; for that purpose, the Individual uses any legal steps that have already been completed in the illegal Atomic Action and only redoes the illegal ones. (For example, if an Atomic Action consists of rolling a dice and then doing steps based upon its result, the Individual would have to reroll the dice only if they rolled the wrong one in the first place, and would then have to repeat any steps that depended upon the result of that dice; however, if they rolled the dice correctly but took an illegal step later on, the result of the original dice roll would still be used in the redone step.)
* For the purposes of determining the ordering or legality of game actions, the time of an Atomic Action shall be the time that it is completed. For Atomic Actions that are redone, the time of completion is the last redone step.
3. Repeal rules 3.1 (“Tags”) and 3.2 (“Atomic Actions”).
Changes analysed (and announced in advance) in the comments here, with the exception of a minor textual change and the addition of a link to “Tags” (which is otherwise the old Special Case rule moved to Core).
