The reason that that doesn't work is that deregistration is by announcement. Most actions are by announcement, and have quite a high level of clarity needed to work. By comparison, the level of clarity required to register is ridiculously low (IIRC this was an intentional change to produce new interesting registration CFJs because the old wording had been mostly thoroughly explored). So this sort of experiment in implied actions can only really be done WRT registration.

Why would that work? The message indicates that I intend to be a player at that time, otherwise the submission wouldn't work. The registration isn't a "speech act" but because it isn't an action by announcement, it doesn't have to be. -- ais523
