Capitalization of game elements (English)?

Hey guys—

So there are a lot of Twin Tin Bots strings that are inconsistent on whether to capitalize certain terms. I don't really mind either way, but seeing them inconsistent makes me want to punch a kitten, and I really hope it doesn't come to that. Some examples:
-Robot/robot
-Crystal/crystal
-Order/order
-Load/load (and Unload/unload)

Let me know what you guys think (and whether this is/should be part of a more general rule dealing with capitalization of in-game elements). I can see for some of these that there are cases where it is potentially right different ways in different contexts, but I assume there should be a readily determinable rule for that.

Hi,

There is no specific rule concerning capitalization of in-game elements. Usually we try to respect the editorial choices of the publisher in the rulebooks. For TTB, according to the rulebook, the elements you mention should be capitalized.
As for inconsistencies, better to fix them than to harm kittens ;)

Cheers,
