Since everybody seems to be acknowledging that this happened, I'll 
just assume that some Mailman bug was responsible for my never 
getting the message where Glotmorf did this.
	Or rather, e tried to do this, and failed - Orc is, as per 
r14, a 'former player'; e is still, therefore, part of the gamestate, 
albeit one without any abilities. Thus, for Glotmorf to change eir 
name to 'Orc in a Spacesuit' is a violation of r2, which stipulates 
that all entities must have unique names.

I notice that the societies page is not entirely clean, for example, 
many societies say nothing about their current membership or even 
whether they still exist (as I'm sure many of them don't.)

I wonder if, assuming societies hang around at all, it might be 
possible to move them all to Wiki pages, especially given that most 
of the big ones require their owners to maintain records of the 
charter etc. anyway.

I've added some of INH to the wiki already; I'll get the rest tomorrow.
