Proposal: Turning the Tables

Popular, 7-0. Josh

Adminned at 19 Aug 2020 13:13:07 UTC

Under the “Equipment” rule, add a table whose columns are Equipments, rows are Discoveries, and entries are the Effect of applying the Equipment on the Discovery.  Initialize the table cells according to the Effects registered in the Equipment list, leaving the cell empty to denote Unknown effects.  Remove the description of Effects from the Equipment list.

Under rule “Application”, substitute

Update the Equipment rule to list the effect of that Equipment on that Discovery

with

Update the Equipment rule to include the effect of that Equipment on that Discovery in the corresponding cell in the table

Preemptively addresses readability issues with the current format, which will become worse as more Applications are performed.

Where would stuff like “Limited (9). Regulation.” end up, here?

No;  those would remain in the Equipment list.  This is a representation of Effects, not of Equipments.

Ah, got it. Good idea, then.

i.e. only the sentences “<Effect> when applied to <Discovery>”.
