If you've been in this game for a long time you may have heard me soap box about how 1e has a serious ambiguity problem with a lot of cards bc the design template for dilemmas and events is just too small (and the various card designers fell into informal writing a lot because reasons..)
So I propose that we put in the work as a group and comb through the catalogue and find these "grammar weeds". Cards that are open to good faith interpretation bc informal language was used to save space. We do this for the purpose of having rules make sure all of them are clarified in the glossary.
I'll get us started:
- Experience BiJ :. See my prior post about this. Since the entries on nullify don't specify who can do it - I still contend that any player can trigger the nullify when any other dilemma is encountered.
- Bajoran Resistance Cell. Category: Adjectives in English formal writing only modify the object they directly proceed. The symbol is used as an qualifying adjective here but doesn't necessarily modify "ship" bc it for sure isn't modifying the any Bajor region planet part and only the word "or" separates everything. It should be facility, or Ship,..."
- Recruit Mercenaries:. Another English adjectives problem. , and "treachery" are all qualifying adjectives and the use of "and/or" further muddies the water of what is modifying or qualifying what. I propose this is an opportunity to codify this card as essentially "any personnel OR treachery". Over the decades I've inadvertently played this card differently at different times and seen it played a couple different ways when I go through nthe ole memory banks...
