For the purposes of clarity, CFJ “omd "most recently became a player” on the
3rd of February, 2011.”
Caller’s evidence:
Rule 869/39 (Power=3)
How to Join and Leave Agora
Any organism that is generally capable of freely originating and
communicating independent thoughts and ideas is a person. Rules
to the contrary notwithstanding, no other entities are persons.
Citizenship is a person switch with values Unregistered
(default) and Registered, tracked by the Registrar. Changes to
citizenship are secured. A registered person is a Player.
A person CAN (unless explicitly forbidden or prevented by the
rules) register by publishing a message that indicates
reasonably clearly and reasonably unambiguously that e intends
to become a player at that time. A person, by registering,
agrees to abide by the Rules. The Rules CANNOT otherwise bind a
person to abide by any agreement without that person's willful
consent.
A player CAN deregister (cease being a player) by announcement.
If e does so, e CANNOT register by announcement for 30 days.
If a player has not sent a message to a public forum in the last
month, then any player CAN deregister em without objection.
The Rules CANNOT compel non-players to act, nor compel players
to unduly harass non-players. A non-person CANNOT be a player,
rules to the contrary notwithstanding.

Rule 2139/9 (Power=2)
The Registrar
The Registrar is an office; its holder is responsible for
keeping track of players.
The Registrar's weekly report includes:
1. A list of all players, including information sufficient to
identify and contact each player.
2. The date on which each player most recently became a player.
3. For each forum with non-Foreign publicity, sufficient
instructions for players to receive messages there.
The Registrar's monthly report includes:
1. For each former player for which the information is
reasonably available, the dates on which e registered and
deregistered.
In the first week of every month the Registrar SHALL attempt to
deregister every player that has not sent a message to a public
forum in the preceding month.
The Registrar's duties and abilities also include:
* Changing the publicity of a forum, as described in Rule 478.
* Publishing Cantus Cygnei and Writs of FAGE as described in
Rule 1789.
The Registrar is also responsible for tracking any switches that
would otherwise lack an officer to track them, unless the switch
is defined as untracked.
Caller’s arguments:
While rule 869, allowed old to register as a player on June 20, 2017, he was
already a player and therefore his registration did not cause him to become a
player for the tracking purposes of Rule 2139, therefore I recommend the
Judgement of TRUE.
