I judge CFJ 4 TRUE. A player, by the definitions in the current ruleset,
is a person whose Citizenship switch is set to Registered. The relevant
rule for controlling definitions across time, 1586, doesn't imply that
past definitions of 'player' have any effect on the present definition.
Therefore, given that Citizenship switches didn't exist in the Sixth Era
nor earlier, nobody was a player by present definitions before then. So
the White Ribbons can be created with no trouble. (They may have been
de-facto a player via normal English definitions; but not by the
definitions in the current ruleset.)
