- A person registered under the name Annabel, did not much for a month or so, then deregistered. - ~6 months later, a long-time player (Maud) confessed that e had been Annabel. - It was decided that Annabel's "I deregister" message applied to Maud, so Maud hadn't really been a player for those 6 months. - Unfortunately, e'd been (thought to be) promotor during that time, and this was before self-ratification, and there wasn't anything like "a document purporting to initiate a decision...[could ratify]". It just amounted to, if e hadn't been promotor, none of those proposals were ever distributed or adopted. - After a lot of discussion about whether the game was unfixable, it was fixed by proposal ratifying everything e'd done, and became the case study for self-ratification and the "document purporting to be" language. The fix steps included everyone announcing that they "resigned promotor" so there was certainty over who might be promotor (because only the promotor could distribute the fix). -G.
