All three. > Anyway: if the first ratified, then Phill isn't a person or whatever, e (if > "e" even applies) just sent message #1 (and message #2 was probably sent by > me since it hasn't ratified yet). Phill is a person, no ratification necessary, unless you're claiming that either you're not Phill or you're not a person. > If the second ratified, then Phill is a first-class player. Eep. I just > created a first-class player out of _nothingness_. > > If the third ratified, same. Whether an entity is a first-class person is not ratifiable. There is no gamestate that could be changed (apart, I suppose, from the text of R2150) that would effect such a ratification. > 1. my name changed to Phill > 2. my name... also changed to Phill I'm not sure what you mean the difference between these to be. In any case, yes, I believe Phill is now an alias for you, just as Annabel was once an alias for Maud. > 3. my name changed to Phill *and it ratifies that I was never a player* Possible. -root
