DRAFT: The Net is Not a Player

Move the rule “The Net is Not a Player” so it becomes a sub-rule of rule 1.3 Dynasties, with this text:

The Net does not count as a Player for the purposes of any Dynastic Rule, except where a Rule specifically refers to the Net.

In rule 1.7 Victory and Ascension, change

and may optionally specify that the terms Player and Net will be replaced with theme-specific terms throughout the entire ruleset, and/or a number of dynastic rules to keep.

to

and may optionally specify that the terms Player and Net and the title of rule “The Net is Not a Player” will be replaced with theme-specific substitutes throughout the entire ruleset, and/or a number of dynastic rules to keep.

It’s been around for quite a time, and can always be overruled by dynastic rules.

for I agree this type of wording should be default.

against There are some dynasties where it’s good to have the Emperor be a player for all purposes.

against because if this rule gets repealed, then we have a hanging reference.

Allowing an ascending Emperor to just rename any Dynastic Rules might be the cleanest solution here.
