[s-d] Proto-prop

[Alex Truelsen <dichotomousmind@xxxxxxxxx>]

So I was thinking about the card game we now have and some ways to improve 
it a little - mostly I'm trying to make the cards less wieldy by defining 
certain types of cards and more basic actions that can be referred to on the 
cards. Anyway, here's what I have so far, as well as all of the current 
cards modified to do basically the same things they do now, but phrased 
differently. The idea is that the First Edition cards are still usable, but 
not as good as Beta.

I'm not proposing this now because there are other props to modify Cards on 
the table and I don't want to get strange interactions. Better to wait until 
voting starts and see what needs tweaking then. Also I want to make sure 
people like my ideas here. So, here it is.

== Proto-Prop: CCG edit ==

{{
Change the first sentence of Rule 1-3 of the Collectable Cards Rulebook to 
read:
{{
Players may be Card Players. Players are initially not Card Players.
}}

Amend Rule 2-1 of the Collectable Cards Rulebook to read:
{{
Cards have the following properties:

Rarity - Rarity is a positive integer between 1 and 5, inclusive.

Type/Subtype - Cards have a type, which is either Action or Thing. Cards may 
also have one of the following subtypes, which may be 

used in place of their type:

Action subtypes:
* Cantrip - Instants can be used at any time.
* Spell - Spells can only be used during their owner's turn.

Thing subtypes:
* Creature - Creatures may perform one action per round. Actions include 
attacking, blocking, and any action defined by the 

creature's card. Attacks can only be made during the main phase of the 
creature's controller. If an attacking creature is not 

blocked, it is destroyed and the defending player loses one Power Gem. If an 
attacking creature is blocked, both attacker and blocker 

are destroyed.
* Wall - Walls are similar to creatures except that they cannot block.
* Artifact - The actions performed by artifacts are defined by the artifact. 
Artifacts may not attack or block.
* Battery - Batteries are any Thing that generates AP. Batteries may not 
attack or block.
* Enchantment - Enchantments are played on other Things and affect those 
Things.

Action Points - Actions Points may also be called AP. AP is a positive 
integer.

Set - A card may belong to a certain set of cards.

Text - The text of a card is a game document outlining any effects the card 
has. Cards may not affect the gamestate outside of 

Playing the Game of Cards. 
}}

Add the following items to Rule 7-3 of the Collectable Cards Rulebook:
{{
Destroy - If the effects of one card include destroying another, all 
"destroyed" cards are moved into the discard pile of the player 

who owns them.

Sacrifice - Things may be sacrificed as part of the cost or activation cost 
of another card. When a Thing is sacrificed, it is 

destroyed.

Controller - The controller of a card is the player who has the ability to 
use that card.

Owner - The owner of a card is the player whose deck contains the card. When 
a Thing is destroyed, it goes to its owner's discard 

pile.
}}

Remove the text "If e owns more than five Power Gems at any time, Eir Power 
Gems are destroyed until e has five Power Gems." from 

rule 7-6 of the Collectable Cards Rulebook.

Create a new Set of Cards named "Beta Edition" with the following cards in 
it:
