General

Try to keep prompt and message text close to how it is written on the cards.
No need to reference card names in prompts since the card name is always listed at the top of the prompt window.

Terminology

Use "choose" over "select" or "target".
Use "counter" instead of "token". Advancement tokens have been renamed to advancement counters by Nisei
Capitalize
- Sides (Runner, Corp)
- Card names (Hedge Fund)
- Central servers (Archives, R&D, HQ).
Do not capitalize
- Card types, subtypes, or other keywords (ice, agenda, bioroid, hardware, virus counter, etc.).
- Do not capitalize Runner zones (grip, heap)
When referring to ice, use "this ice" for self reference and "piece of ice" when referring to another card.
When describing the state of a piece of ice, put the description in front of "piece" (i.e. unrezzed piece of ice)

Using symbols

Use "MU" instead of the MU symbol for any non-gain text (i.e. Cortex Lock)
