Proto-argument, while awaiting evidence: Assuming that evidence is produced of the existence of Steve Wallace, and of a contract between Steve Wallace and pikhq, then: In claiming to register on behalf of Steve Wallace, there are two possibilities. The first is that "Steve Wallace's" joining amounts to a partnership between pikhq and Steve Wallace, which is only true if the contract in question devolves responsibility onto both parties. In this case, "Steve Wallace" as an Agoran player is a partnership which registered before public requirements (but is still a second-class person). So, a qualified TRUE if the text of the contract supports the interaction as a partnership. The currently-available evidence (awaiting further information from the parties) suggests that this is not the nature of the contract, however. The other possibility is that the contract claims to authorize one first class person (pikhq) to act "on behalf of" another first-class person (Steve Wallace. This amounts to granting power-of-attorney or executorship for Agoran actions between the two first-class persons. If this were possible between a player and non-player, it would be possible between two players. However, such delegation is strongly regulated. It had to be specifically allowed in the past (reference: past PoA and executorship rules) and currently is specifically allowed only in limited and highly specialized circumstances (R2160). The courts have in the past imposed strict limits on its application (e.g. CFJ 1303). Therefore, I find that current Agoran rules do *not* recognize a general Power of Attorney or other form of executorship signed outside the game, or even within the game, to apply to Agoran matters, and with the absence of explicit Rules-based permission under implicitly-strong regulation and limitation, pikhq cannot act, specifically to register, on Steve Wallace's behalf. If Steve Wallace is a first-class person (and not a partnership), e is not a Player. FALSE. -Goethe
