Good precedent: it implies that if there's two classes of entities who
self-choose "The Robot" as an identifier, than their true nicknames
are "The Robot(the player)" and "The Robot(the document)" and even (if we
all decide to change our nicknames "The Robot (the Nth player to take
that name)" or The Robot I, II, The Robot The Terrible, The Robot The
Confessor, The Sure I'm A Robot Too (that one's a GSV Class) etc.
Perhaps in this case, all or none of said persons would be referred to
by the actual rule. So for the cost of the rest penalty, anyone can win?
I must say, coppro, well done sir.
