  4. Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Formatting, style and language.
  5.  
  6. I've reworded what I could according to my current level of understanding.
  7. I'd need a quick back-and-forth chat with the creators for the
  8. next patch: clearing out the illegal/invalid actions' situation.
  9.  
  10. I've also re-enabled the power list in the Move section to be visible
  11. after Bronze.

  540. Subject: [PATCH 3/4] My rewording epiphany: separate charge/energy/power
  541. MIME-Version: 1.0
  542. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
  543. Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

  545. “charge” is only to be used as a verb: it is one ofthe effects a MOVE has.
  546. “power” is only used as a noun: it is to be thought of as in “special
  547. power” and is one of torpedo/sonar/silence/mine.
  548. “energy [level]” is the number of charging effects a power has received.
  549.  
  550. I'm reluctantly leaving the “cooldowns” as is, as they impact the stubs
  551. and people have started coding already, but do think about it for the
  552. post-contest phase.
  553.  
  554. Took me quite some fudging to pin down.
