CFJ 1856 requires that to satisfy R101, non-players must demonstrate (to Agora) evidence that they have some basic understanding of the rules or at least presence in the fora in order for contracts to be binding to them (they can't give informed consent otherwise). The judgement didn't say what *would* be enough demonstration, but that a player telling us that a non-Agoran friend of eirs had agreed to a contract is *not* enough. -Goethe
