Sure, except you haven't specified how or by whom the Dictionary is kept 
up-to-date. Are game terms given definitions in the Dictionary 
automatically as soon as they acquire meaning in the game? If so, how are 
we supposed to know what those definitions are? If it's the responsibility 
of someone to add definitions to the dictionary, who? What happens if they 
don't?
