In the rule “Habitat” change:
The Creature can’t travel to Locations named “Foggy Location”.
to
The Creature can’t move to a Location named “Foggy Location”.
A creature does not “travel” to “locations”. A creature “moves” to “a location”. The primary purpose of this proposal is to standardize “move” as the action of The Creature changing positions, as “Travel” is not defined.
Does this mean that the Creature can technically move to a foggy location, until this proposal passes?
@card, now technically, yes, unless we adhere to the “plain English” interpretation. Let’s define things concretely.
Wouldn’t this proposal be a better fit in the call for judgement category?
The word move is used in the definition of travel—http://www.dictionary.com/browse/travel?s=t second one. Go is used in the first definition. Go is also defined with the word move http://www.dictionary.com/browse/to—go?s=t
Going by the justifications posted, this proposal either:
- Does nothing (because the travel/move wording doesn’t matter) - Or it fixes something major (because travel=/=moving).
Why wouldn’t I 
this.

Oracular rufio:
I think this is really nitpicky and that the plain English meaning of “move” is what is used in the ruleset, and thus “travel” is a synonym. We haven’t said, for example “moving is an action the Creature can take, when the Creature moves from on Location to another, now the Creature is in the new Location” because we all know what moving means. For that matter, we haven’t explicitly defined “the Creature”, either. I don’t think we need to reinvent English.
