Replace “Each Codename has a Tool, which is tracked in the GNDT as a string of alphanumeric characters” with:-

Each Codename has a Tool, which is tracked in the GNDT as a string of characters

Any past addition of a non-alphanumeric character to a GNDT “Tool” field this dynasty, as well as Purplebeard’s Corp Name’s Defence Score being reduced by a Hack on the 10th of August, shall be considered illegal.

Set :Flatline’s Tool to “~”, :Faction’s Tool to “&”, :Enthalpy’s Tool to “2” and reduce Purplebeard Corp Name’s Defence Score by 2.

My previous proposal to retroactively legalise “all actions made as a result of such Tools existing” is bothering me, in retrospect (“I give myself 65535 Defence Score because of a particular Tool existing, I definitely wouldn’t try it otherwise.” “But there’s no rule that lets you do that.” “I know.”). Let’s try this again with a quick CfJ that just explicitly sets the gamestate to what it should be - it should have been one in the first place, really.

Looks like the blog doesn’t support certain unicode characters per above.

BTW, what is the length limit on Codenames & Tools? Can I have, say, a codename of 32 chars?

I think it’s effectively unlimited, the GNDT isn’t using a fixed-length-field database.
