The more I think of it, the more surprised I am that I can't remember anyone trying this scam. We've had plenty of attempted hardcodings of players into rules/proposals (e.g. "G. can amend this rule") or "comex is hereby awarded X") but I can't remember anyone trying to change their name to intercept the rule in progress (or avoid it if it's a proposal-based punishment/reset).
I think I remember something similar. I certainly wrote a judgement that defeated such an attempt. I used the "Alice Through the Looking Glass" argument that being called something, and having something as a name are not necessarily the same thing. The language in the ruleset may not allow that argument any more of course. Michael
