Roger, Olena, Alex, Xiannan, and Jennifer,

I would be happy to add Roger as a player if Alex doesn't.
But would he be a *new* player?  It seems that rules 21 and 27 are
ambiguous wrt this situation, so I guess I'll do whatever Roger wants
(unless somebody else has a better idea):

Roger, as far as I understand you have two choices:
- be a "new" player with 97 money units and a true activity state
- be an "old" player with (98 + 1/403) money units and a false activity
state
In the first case you'd also presumably retain your status as a "former
player."


Properties of a player that depend on newness:

> When a new player joins the game, eir activity state is true. 
[Rule 27{1}. PlayerActivity]

> When a new player joins the game, eir account will contain 97 money units.
[Rule 21{1}. MoneyRule]


Properties of a player that don't depend on newness:

> When a player joins the game eir location is initially nowhere.
[Rule 16{4}. PlayersBoundToSpace]

> When a player joins the game, eir mirror-state is initially false. 
[Rule 24{0}. MirrorState]

Robert
