Rewrite the introduction of Special Case so it reads:
Special Case Rules can be Active or Inactive. If the title of a Special Case Rule includes “[X]”, where X is either Active or Inactive, then its status is X. Otherwise, its status is its Default Status.
Special Case Rules have a Default Status, which can be Active or Inactive. If the title of a Special Case Rule includes an asterisk, (*) its Default Status is Inactive, otherwise, its Default Status is Active.
When a new Dynasty is started, the Ascension Address may list any number of existing Special Case Rules to be set to a status other than their respective Default Status. All other Special Case Rules are set to their respective Default Status.
The text of a Special Case Rule that is Inactive is flavour text.
Add a bullet point to “Names”:
When referring to a Rule, the name used in reference to a specific Rule may be simplified by not including braces, any text between a pair of opening and closing braces, and, in the case of Special Case Rules, any asterisks, as long as such a reference would be unambiguous.
Is this better? God, I hope so. I just want it to work.
TyGuy6:
Currently “The text of Special Case Rules that are inactive shall be interpreted, for the purpose of play, to mean nothing.”
How is flavour text better than meaning nothing?
I guess the asterisk=defaults to inactive is kind of cool.
