Here's the relevant clause from the Fookiemyartug contract:
{
7. A person may become party to this agreement with the consent of the
partner known as BobTHJ. Becoming a party to this agreement
retroactively causes that person to be a party to this agreement since
its inception.
}
And the relevant bit of R1742
{
Any group of two or more persons may make an agreement among
themselves with the intention that it be binding upon them and
be governed by the rules. Such an agreement is known as a
contract.
}
I would argue that the inception of the agreement occurred shortly
before Fookiemyartug's registration. comex's joining it turned it into
an agoran-recognized contract, but R1742 does not prohibit agreements
between one person. Contracts are a subset of agreements made between
two or more people that are both binding and governed by the rules.
BobTHJ
