AFAICT, it counts as a registration if and only if a) I'm aware of the consequences (which I think is fairly easy to establish), and b) I'm aware I'm not a player at the time (again, fairly easy given how long it's been). The "Right now," was intended as an explicit triggering of R869 (last time I did something like this it failed due to uncertainty about the timing). Your reasoning is interesting, though, although if the message had been just made with the purpose of confusing people (rather than registering), it would have violated rule 2471 for no real benefit, something that's very out of character for me. -- ais523
