OK, I read the Wikipedia article that DarthOrc sent me (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-specific_and_gender-neutral_pronouns). I have no desire to waste excessive amounts of time on something that is really trivial, so I am OK with using "they" as singular, as long as we are consistent.

Can some admin update the official Policies and Guidelines page to spell this out? I think this should be added to the "Point of view" section (since this would not be an issue if we allowed the first or second person). I would suggest wording like this:

''When it is necessary or desirable to use a pronoun to refer to the player, in order to avoid the appearance of sexism, use the third person plural pronoun (e.g. "they," "their"). Do not use combined forms like "he or she," "(s)he," or "he/she," since they are clumsy and longer.''
