Add a dynastic rule entitled: “Technical definitions”, as follows:
The “Reference Source” is English-language Wikipedia as of 23:59:59 GMT on January 13, 2009, disregarding changes later than that time.
Add a dynastic rule entitled “Occupations”, as follows:
Each Guest has a single Occupation, which is noted in the GNDT. The Executor’s Occupation is always “Executor”. Each Guest starts with a blank “Occupation”. Any Guest with a blank Occupation may give themselves a replacement Occupation so long as ithe Occupation is valid. Valid Occupations are occupations or descriptive titles given to characters in the Reference Source articles that are listed on the Reference Source article “List of works by Agatha Christie”, but excluding “Detective”, “Inspector” or any occupation that obviously and directly relates to police work or criminal behavior as the Executor determines in his sole discretion. For example, each of the following is a valid Occupation (unless the Executor disapproves of such Occupation in the manner described below): “Colonel” (e.g. Colonel Bantry in “The Body in the Library”); “Socialite” (Miss Van Schuyler from “Death on the Nile”); “Vicar” (Vicar Jones in “Why Didn’t They Ask Evans”); “Noblewoman” (Princess Natalia Dragomiroff from “Murder on the Orient Express”); or “Valet” (Edward Henry Masterman, also from “Orient Express”). When a Guest gives himself a replacement Occupation, he shall update the GNDT and include, as a comment, a reference to the character and Agatha Christie work justifying the legitimacy of the Occupation. The Executor may, at any time and for any reason, disapprove an Occupation by reverting the relevant Guest’s Occupation to Blank, and is encouraged to make a blog post explaining the action.
More strongly against. I don’t really want two dynasties using Wikipedia in a row…
