Rewrite the first two paragraphs of Rule 2.2 to say

There exists a wiki page entitled “The Creature Page” which contains information about creatures in the game world. A creature is defined to be any character which appears on “The Creature Page”. Each lifeform is given one entry on “The Creature Page” which tracks the creature assigned to the lifeform. The lifeform is considered to “track” a creature if the creature in question appears in this section of the wiki page. Each lifeform, at any time, may have one at only one creature tracked here.

Additionally, there exists a section on the creature page which contains information on creatures not assigned to lifeforms. This section is called “The Wild”. The Apprentice of Will Wright may update this section by adding or changing creatures as e sees fit. Also, if any lifeform goes idle, eir creature is moved to this section. A lifeform may often move eir creature to this section.

Each creature has a name unique to that creature. A lifeform may often change the name of the creature currently tracked in eir section, provided no other creature currently has the creature name e wishes to change to.

If a lifeform does not have a creature tracked in eir section, e may either claim a copy of the creature “Starter Creature” or make a request for adoption. If e chooses to create a copy of the “Starter Creature” e must rename it to a unique name. Requests for adoption as described below.

To make a request for adoption, the lifeform must make a post the blog titled “Request for adoption of XXXXX” where XXXXX is the name of a creature currently in the wild. The starter creature may not be the target of a request for adoption. The subject of the post should contain all information about the creature.

All lifeforms should then vote on the request for adoption (also called an RfA) as if it were a proposal. If, after 24 hours, more than half of the votes on the RfA are FOR votes the RfA passes. If the lifeform who posted the RfA currently has no creatures tracked in eir section, the creature named in the RfA is moved from the wild to the lifeform’s section. If more than half of the votes on the RfA are not FOR votes, or the lifeform who posted the RfA currently has a creature tracked in eir section, the RfA fails and nothing happens.

Each lifeform may only ocassionally make an RfA.

Rewrite Rule 2.3 to say

Each Lifeform has a field “Status” in the GDNT that is either Alive or Dead. All Lifeform’s Status begins as Alive. A Lifeform may change their status from Dead to Alive by moving eir current creature to “The Wild”. An Lifeform may not change any other Lifeform’s Status unless explicitly stated by the rules.

against The more complex you make things, the less people will play. Quorum is already 5 and will drop more in the following days…
