In rule Victory and Ascension, replace

The Hiatus continues until the new Returning Officer posts an Ascension Address to the BlogNomic weblog - this shall specify the Returning Officer’s chosen theme for the new Dynasty, and may optionally include a proclamation that any number of Dynastic Rules will be repealed, and that any keywords will be replaced with new theme-appropriate terms.

The Hiatus continues until the new Returning Officer posts an Ascension Address to the BlogNomic weblog - this shall specify the Returning Officer’s chosen theme for the new Dynasty, and may optionally include a proclamation that any number of Dynastic Rules will be repealed, and that the words Voter and Returning Officer will be replaced with theme-specific terms throughout the entire ruleset.

Because right now, “Can”, “Comment”, “Story Post”, “Dice”, “Gamestate”, “Week”, and “Voting Icons” are just a few of the “keywords” as defined by the rules.

There’s some very small history of renaming terms like “Quorum”, but they can always be made as temporary dynastic rules.

AGAINST

This should also allow renaming keywords defined in dynastic rules that were not repealed.

Ienpw III: He means that (to follow from the Steampunk Dynasty) the term “Invention” should be replaced as well.

Also, I prefer the ability to edit the word “week” or “gamestate” or “story post”. Makes everything flavorful.

Vote of abstention: (as ais is voting DEF, too):

There is neither a real problem in the current nor in “your” version.

“Keywords” in dynastic rules aren’t actually keywords, and so can’t be renamed under current rules anyhow. It been made effectively legal in the past by players unanimously “voting” not to make a CfJ.
