Expansion idea - Pilgrimage

[loganmann1]

Apparently I'm the last one who commented on this post.  This is another expansion that seems to be right there but just needs some rules and such.  Are you still out there gunpowdertea? 

[loganmann1]

Trying to move some of these old unfinished expansions along I went ahead and made a rule sheet up from gunpowdertea's rules.  I only edited them to fit the format of the rules template as best I felt it worked.  Please take a look and offer editing suggestions or general rule change/clarification suggestions. I will throw together a download sheet for the tokens and put that up too.

I only found minor edits. "They" should be used when referring to multiple players. When using the term "each", that refines it down to referring to a single player, therefore "him" or "he" should be used instead.

Also, I could be mistaken, but I thought it was agreed to not use the british spelling of the word "colors" for our write-ups. Assuming this is correct, there's 2 instances which would need to be changed.

Distribute to each player the two Pilgrimage tokens of their his corresponding colour.

If their his tokens are already in play, they he exchanges only the follower and the cloister with only the other Pilgrimage tokens is left vacant are returned to the owner's supply.

==EDIT==
Forgot to mention that the title of the expansion should also be put in the header.

/begin gendered and grammatical history aside

Technically, "they" and its derivatives were used to denote what today is noted as "it", the gender neutral form of "his" or "her". Despite current grammatical norms, it is not, in fact, wrong to use it to denote grammatically neuter singulars. When writing rules, using "he" and "his" suggests a gendered stereotype that only men play games. Using "they" is politically and grammatically correct, even if it is not in current usage. Grammatical patterns suggest that this form is on the rise, replacing "it".

Not to say that you're wrong, but I was told by a high school english teacher friend of mine, and she said it's acceptable to use he, him, or his if you don't know the gender or if you are using it in a situation where the subject could be either male or female. Just thought I'd point it out and let you know where I'm getting the mixed signals. I, personally, still don't like the way that "they" sounds when used in the singular form.

Hence the "despite current grammatical norms" part. Most teachers at all levels instruct people to use the masculine form for the neuter, but that is being viewed as increasingly sexist/gendered and many parts of society, largely due to texting oddly, are reverting to the pre-19th century usage of "they", which was the singular neuter form. It was Victorian linguists mostly that genderized our language. In fact, you can blame the Victorians for a lot of strange developments in history.

Neutered Victorians aside...

Here is the updated rule sheet and token sheet.

BlueDogs!  You're working hard on these logan.

I'm just putting the finishing touches on work others have done but they've sadly moved on from cc.  Seems a shame the energy and ingenuity that went into these should be wasted.  I'm just formatting rule sheets.
