Venting
Once we allow conflicts in identifying game objects the game will break. Identifiers have to be taken in context and can’t be regulated by the ruleset. Imagine where this can go:
- In response to Kevan’s Proposal, I’ll get a weevil called “the role of captain’ - hold him for 3 days and I win.
- I’ll get some Motley called ‘The Captain’ - if he confiscates it, he throws himself overboard!
- I’ll rename myself to ‘At least half of all Swashbucklers’ - I can make a DoV and vote for it and win instantly!
- Oh yeah? I’ll rename myself ‘The Gamestate.’
Kevan: he/him
Yeah, the glossary does actually say that “a keyword defined by a rule supersedes the normal English usage of the word”, and I’d vote against any DoV from Bucky on that basis.
