Hmm. This one's a toughie to generalize. If you made your CFJ statement "All CFJs on one's players status are requests to join" it would be false, because it's easy to imagine the following: 'I want to make sure I'm not a player because I don't want to be, so I cfj on "I am a player." ' I suppose what's closest to what you're aiming for might be this statement: 'If a non-player calls the cfj statement "I am a player" with no other context to the message, it should generally be considered a request to become a player'. -G.
