R2585 allows for this situation:
It is considered to be a player's Agoran Birthday on the
anniversary of the day e first registered. If the day a player
first registered is unknown, that player CAN, with Agoran consent,
declare a day to be eir Agoran Birthday. As long as the day a
player first registered remains unknown, it is considered to be
eir Agoran Birthday on the anniversary of the day e most recently
declared as eir Agoran Birthday.
I believe at some point Murphy declared a day, the calendar lists the
23rd of January, which I set at some point presumably based on that
info. Let me look if I can find an email as evidence.
