Not that we want to use it, but it's happened before. I believe you were around when Morendil became Speaker while not a Player, and thus involuntarily became a Player without registering (and possibly without "being registered"). That was a mess. It is to rule out this kind of problem that I rewrote R869 to make some of the terms explicitly synonymous. Please keep this sort of problem ruled out, rather than just hoping that it will never occur. >On a separate note, what about adding the ability for players to >will their VCs (sheqels) to other players upon eir deregistration? Remember Probate? I'm sure we could draft it better than Kelly did, and cause less chaos, but it's still quite a lot of extra complication for the benefit it brings. Anyone who's deregistering voluntarily can spend all of eir VCs first (well, maybe all but one, under the current rules), and I don't see much value in giving someone who abandons the game the opportunity to make use of eir abandoned wealth. -zefram
