Reword the sentence that reads “If the title of a Special Case Rule includes “[Rare]”, its Default Status is Inactive, otherwise, its Default Status is Active” in the rule “Special Case” to:
If the title of a Special Case Rule includes “[Standard]” then its Default Status is Active; otherwise, its Default Status is Inactive.
Remove the text “[Rare]” from the title of every Special Case rule that includes it.
Append the text “[Standard]” to the titles of the Special Case rules currently entitled “Seasonal Downtime [Active]”, “Dormancy [Active]”, “Imperial Deferentials [Active]”, “Dynastic Distance [Active]”, “Dynastic Tracking [Active]”, “Mantle Limitations [Active]” and “Event Types [Active]”.
Basic user-experience stuff that has bothered me for a while: it makes more sense to single out the on-by-default settings than it does exceptions, when we’re already inside a rule that is framed as “these things are kind of exceptional.” Also, I want emperors to make use of the off-by-default rules more often as building block constraints, and I think the Rare tag implies that they HAVE to be rare, when they don’t.
