Back on the first hand, I could have refrained from disclosing the
content of the document in question, and while it probably would have
been possible to discover this (the document does not remotely meet the
usual cryptographic standards of unguessability) it would almost
certainly be outside the Agoran standard of reasonable effort to do so.
Arguments: Pretty much the first thing I thought of upon seeing the message was to take
the SHA-512 hash of "I register." (Unfortunately, I read on before actually
doing so.) Arguably, it is not unreasonable effort to reverse a hash when it's /that/
guessable.
I have to throw a curveball at this one and remind that this is the act
of registering.
The message context makes it very clear that Pavitra intended to attempt
to perform the action of registration.
The fact that e subsequently CFJed, however, makes it not entirely clear
that e did, in fact, want to be registered. It seems that eir intent was
more just to see what happened and e likely is indifferent to
registration. Thus I think e is not a player.
