I submit the following gratuitous argument: * Rule 2461 "Death and Birth of Organizations" states that "When an organization is created this way, its Charter is set to the value that e specified, and the Budget switch for that player and Organization is set to the Income Floor." * Rule 2459 "Organizations" states that "A 'member' of an Organization is a player for which the pair consisting of that Organization and that player has a nonzero Budget." * "And" implies that the Charter and the Budget switch are set at the same time. * Therefore, 天火狐 had become a member of 蘭亭社 before its charter forbade anyone for joining.
