It would be illegal and should be reverted.

Rule 1.9: The Hiatus continues until the new High-Programmer posts an Ascension Address to the BlogNomic weblog - this shall specify [...] that the words Citizen and High-Programmer will be replaced with theme-specific terms throughout the entire ruleset.

We used to be able to do Quorum too, but that was changed. And long ago, I think Admin was a keyword.

Idle has been changed before as well.

There’s also a fair play rule against keyword changes designed to make the game unplayable (like changing multiple keywords to the same word).

Qwazukee: Back then, we were aloud to change any keyword.

ais523: Not that that actually helps. If the game is made unplayable, how are we supposed to propose to ban someone? This would be a burning chessboard scenario, to quote lilomar paraphrasing Kevan.

The point is that the fair play rules aren’t meant to be broken. It’s a big warning, “do not do this”.

You need to remember that BlogNomic is a game. Generally speaking, not following the rules is considered cheating.

Ah, the burning chessboard.

Biggest rule: Don’t be an ass.
