Re: [s-d] [s-b] Call for Inquiry

I fail to see how the second player would be in violation of Rule 2, which 
states that all game entities must have uniquely identifying names. The second 
player, while sharing a name with the first player, would still possess a 
uniquely identifying name, and would therefore, at least in my opinion, not be 
in violation of Rule 2. Unfortunately, we don't have two players with the same 
title, so we can't exactly send this to Judgment now, can we?
