I don't even see the point of iii. I realise there's history here, but the
rules don't define "agreements" anymore, so what does this do?
As there is no official definition, we use a common legalistic sense of
the term. That's broad in definition, and historically refers to all
types of binding document that one might agree to. Parties are agreements,
as were recent Contests.
Doesn't 101 iii. then just restate this definition?
Protects against a party constitution like "Anyone who posts the word
'the' to the public forum joins this party. To leave without violating this
constitution, you must give us all your Yaks".
At the moment, the rules already only have you joining voluntarily. So
101 iii does nothing here.
If the rules were to change to allow players to be bound to a
constitution they did not agree to, why would that be considered an
"agreement"?
E.g. A sentence of COMMUNITY SERVICE binds a player to something (an
arbitrary set of prescribed tasks) they did not agree to, nor had a
chance to review. This is not an agreement.
