Hey all,

I just fixed ruleset-viewer.gaelan.me, which appears to have gotten broken by 
some reorganization of the ruleset repo. It looks like it might be 
intermittently running into some GitHub API bug (possibly because you're not 
supposed to download as much as I am with a single request)—I'll monitor that 
and look into alternate solutions (like using a git clone instead of their 
API). Anyway, for the time being, it works.

Updated hypothesis: the messages are being sent by a bot, probably a
neural network trained on Agoran public forum messages.

This would explain the bizarre signalling, the frequent use of existing
Agorans' signatures, and the general incomprehensibility of the posts,
in addition to the failure to reply at messages directed at it.

(Presumably, the registration post was rigged to start with "I hereby
register as a player." The sort of neural network I'm thinking of can
be customized to start its output with a particular substring, and it
will try to work out what could plausibly follow it.)

We used to have a rule specifically against doing this sort of thing,
but it got repealed.

CFJ 1703, which probably predated the rule in question, found that it
didn't work even if it was prohibited.

All that said, the registration probably worked (unless you are in fact
an existing player), but you might end up being referred to by names
you don't want/expect in order for people to refer to you
unambiguously.

This would, again, require the Judge to reveal the votes of specific

It also didn't show up in the archives. Not a big deal here because the 
dicelog message R. Lee quoted has a verification code attached, but 
maybe something for the distributor to look at.
