An Event is an official post that meets a type definition in the dynastic rules, if and only if that type definition is specified as defining a type of Event; the type definition must include the following:

 

Not sure if this language is too circular.

So, Events are currently defined as official posts with certain characteristics. The purpose of this is to allow definition of other kinds of Events? You want to keep the boilerplate, without requiring Events to conform to the characteristics?

No, we came across an interesting interaction because of Plight of the Navigator. In short: because ‘event’ was so loosely defined, something could be considered an event when nobody realizes it and enacted at any arbitrary time if no ending conditions are defined, thus leading to the ability to do whatever you like with certain story posts.
