Out of curiosity, just where could I find a list of reserved game terms?
It's rather relevent to the absurdity here discussed, and I was curious. I
did a quick flip through a rulebook I have from a deck or two, and saw no
master lists.  What defines a reserved term?  I could see things like
"sensei" and the like, as they're card types, but other things, like
"weapon" are not technically card types-they're just instances of another
kind of card (item, in this case).  Yet many such words are still
reserved.  Is there a list anywhere?  I'd be curious as to what is fully
reserved terms and all.  Thanks a lot!

And it's a real pity that that combo is so cumbersome for us to pull off,
or that would rock!  <G>  Hehehe.  Ah well, no broken cheese for us.  :P
