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.
In fact, one of my earliest memories of Agora was being assigned to a
CFJ pertaining to that situation.
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.
All right, I'll review this during the next revision.
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.
My first thought was actually to auction such VCs, but what would
players bid with? I suppose they could bid with their own VCs,
but then what ordering should be used?
