   I think that conforms to the YN rulebook; that is it is acceptable if you   
   rip something off then give it a new name, as this will not "confuse the   
   true fans". That is, the guiding principle is the avoidance of violation of   
   the purity of created worlds. Multiple versions of a world mess up the card   
   indexing system, basically.
