At one point, before the ratification system existed, Agora’s state was found 
to be so badly misunderstood and misconstrued that the only practical solution 
was to eject all but one player, have that player use eir de-facto dictatorship 
to pass proposals to fix the state of the game, and then for the former players 
to re-register.

For what it’s worth, I legitimately did not see any of this coming - and I’m on 
deck to keep records for stamps! I can’t speculate as to which players 
understood which errors in the rules, but I am extremely impressed with the 
willingness of Agorans as a whole to entertain, in good faith, the fiction that 
the rules as written meant the same thing as the clear intent of the rules, 
even when that wasn’t true. Then someone tried to exploit one flaw, and now we 
have to reckon with the whole problem at once.
