The game of Agora, but not any player of it, can make arbitrary changes to the gamestate. I'd love this if it included some historical context for the players 5 years from now. WHEREAS Agora is now 18 years of age, and WHEREAS 18 years is the age of majority in a large majority of nations in the developed world, and etc. -scshunt I support this. =) ~ Roujo

But I suppose such is the nature of long-lasting Nomics, and in particular Agora: the wisest, noblest, and most interesting of all nomics (not merely active email nomics), and also the eldest of all active email nomics.

Well, I think it's pretty uncontroversially a date stamp, albeit one with the wrong date on. The scam itself fails for all sorts of reasons (for instance, there's a 1 in 2 chance that Agora (then yoyo) didn't exist at the date stated, depending on the milliseconds fields), but I wanted to spark some discussion. -- ais523

Indeed, dictionary.com lists exactly one definition for date-stamp: to stamp the date on, as with a date stamp. Not to stamp *a* date on. Thorny part: the time of day is not part of the date and so cannot be date-stamped. So I could presumably alter a message's headers to claim that it was sent at midnight this morning, and it would still be considered date-stamped. -root
