That's not the way the rule reads:
When a first-class person
has been a player continuously for at least three months,
was never a player before that period, and names another
player as eir mentor (and has not named a mentor in this
fashion before), the named player earns a White Ribbon.
This seems to grandfather in everyone who was a player before the
rule came to have this form.
