This one's an interesting case. One could argue that e consented to be a player when e made the deal with Murphy, even if e became a player by other means (like ratification). One could also argue that e only gave consent conditional on the registration via Murphy working. But that's problematic, because if e consented, e consented to follow the Rules. And if e consented to follow the rules, e did so even if the rules tell em e registered in a different way than intended. If someone attempted to register by publishing "I consent to be bound by all the Rules EXCEPT RULE X, and I register given those conditions" it likely wouldn't work, as there's no scope for negotiations there. -G.
