Vexingly, some of them are still present in the latest Lazarus proposal. Fixes: * Asset transfer includes Estates, * Asset transfer happens immediately before de-registration, when the person is still a player, * Asset transfers to Agora are treated uniformly, Bugs: * A player can still be eir own Heir, which may well cause eir shinies to either cease to exist, or to become inaccessible until e re-registers. I’ve stopped short of allowing multiple heirs, because I have zero interest in reinventing probate courts. However, it has one other nasty case, which is that Organizations which become defunct while owning shinies don’t transfer their shinies anywhere, and I think they simply cease to exist when that happens. (Don’t exploit this, you’ll only make me float a proposal to reinstate the destroyed shinies. Not very interesting.) I think that deserves a separate rule, rather than a bolt-on clause in YCTIWY. -o
