Well you did come forward a week later but I'm wondering as to your
purpose, were you exploring a bug in the self-ratification-of-identity
rule? (I can't remember what you said when you originally told us
about
it). It's turned into an interesting discussion in any case. -Goethe
Lately - with [EMAIL PROTECTED] and similar - identity was a bit fuzzy. Is
the person their email? What about identity ratification? Does it cause
more problems than it solves? (I think so.)
I was exploring if identity ratification could vivify things out of
nowhere, its relation to the possible equality of people's identity and
the email they use, if it can affect the person originally claiming,
etc.
The CFJs still haven't been assigned, so I still don't know.
I tried to avoid a crisis as much as possible. The "who has never been a
player before" was a last minute addition (thinking about how new
players
generally register) and I neglected to consider that it might ratify
that
I was never a player.
However, since ais523 has calculated the gamestate-sans-me and
ratification has sorted most of it out, that's a relief.
(E didn't propose a fix emself, so I'm not excusing it here, just
exploring mitigating circumstances).
I'm not exactly sure how. I'd just repeal identity ratification.
