In the core rule “Idle Cells”, change

Idle Cells are not counted as Cells.

Idle Cells are not counted as Cells. The combined term “Idle Cell” can be used to refer to Cells who are Idle even in rules that do not treat them as Cells.

If the Cell named “Bucky” is not idle, make him idle.

Do we not think that this is working as written?

Also not sure what this is meant to be fixing.

“Idler” feels a bit pejorative and ambiguous. It means the opposite of what a casual reader would expect from a sentence like “when idling a player, the idler must dot dot dot”.

For the purpose of most rules, there is no such thing as an idle Cell. A few rules such as “No Collaboration” and “Things that a mentor must do” use the term anyway. Those uses fail to refer to anyone, although No Collaboration works around it with “people who are not yet Cells”.

v1.1: removed “idler” again.
