Vocabulary & Definitions

Games involve many components, concepts, processes and ideas and discussions are clearer and more productive if we understand each other. Good definitions and a good vocabulary helps everyone understand each other and work better together. Hopefully we can avoid re-inventing the wheel, or at least avoid endless debates about re-naming the wheel!
