Effective communication was probably the cause of the problem, it happens.

Streamlining rules is a long, delicate process. You first have to understand why the rule was put in place, what circumstances precipitated the need for the rule, then determine what language will satisfy that criteria with less wording. It takes a great deal of time and research. Plain and Simple.

We have policies and procedures where I work. The policies outline the requirements and are based upon, in my line of work, over 100 years of situations and circumstances.

Procedures basically detail how the objectives are to be met. These are basically the "how to". They are revised yearly based upon changes in the policy.

Sometimes a situation may come up during the year whereby the procedure needs to be clarified before the yearly revision. So, a memorandum is added temporarily until they can be incorporated when the procedure is revised.

Notice I didn't take anything away? It is because rules, and I have said this before, are built upon the same principles. There is a reason for them. If that reason is not understood then you go back in years when they are removed.

There is a difference in streamlining, ie, using more effective terminology, and change, ie, removing items catergorically. We need to clarify whether things were streamlined, or simply removed.

In looking back I didn't know this was about a game. I thought it was just a rules discussion. I miscommunicated, I should read more carefully. It happens. Sorry.
