Proposal: Sealed with Approval [Appendix]

Add a new keyword, “Sealed”, to the list of them in the Appendix rule “Other”, with the following definition:

If gamestate is defined as “Sealed”, it is tracked privately during dynasties, but if it ceases to be gamestate its last tracked value must it be published in a blog post as soon as is practical afterwards. If Sealed gamestate ceases to be Sealed but remains gamestate, its tracking document must be updated as soon as is practical. Information ceases to be Sealed during an Interregnum, even if a dynastic rule says otherwise. Sealed gamestate is tracked by the Yard if no other Truck has been assigned the responsibility. Rules cannot be Sealed.

for But it’d read better if private communication was defined in the same place, so that proposers can more easily see what their options are when they’re reading up on this kind of thing.

against Actually, CoV, this does seem like overkill when it could just be a simpler clause on the end of “If a piece of information is described as being tracked secretly or privately…” to say that private information defined as “Sealed” can be revealed after a dynasty is over.

I don’t think the wording is overly egregious. Pass-and-fix for

Kevan, it’s overkill for that to handle the corner case where private information becomes publicly tracked mid-dynasty.

Also, it’s forseeable that some secret gamestate will be intended to remain so forever.

[Bucky] I don’t understand what corner case you’re referring to there.

Actually; CoV against for beauty concerns.
