I've just realized that one reason this is better than the "No double
scores for new players" is that it affects also Bingo Event 40 ("you
have had an Agoran Birthday").
I'll also note for clarity that the difference between my text above
and the current Rule is it changes
> It is considered to be a player's Agoran Birthday on the anniversary
> of the day e first registered.
to
> It is considered to be a player's Agoran Birthday on the anniversary
> of the day e first registered, provided that that anniversary is not
