I have a bunch of sentient pet rocks who want to join the game.
They communicate telepathically through me. They can use my
working e-mail address and can pass the Turing test ( just ask me
the questions, and I'll pass on their responses.)

Using my e-mail, 100,001,000 of them join the game, under the names
"rock1" through "rock100001000". They each receive a welcome
point automatically under r14, and rock1 through rock100000000
give 1 point each to Zarpint's Tax Shelter.

Currently, only players can win by getting more than 1,000
points, but entities can conduct research. Zarpint's Tax Shelter
conducts General Research 20 million times.

rock100000001 through rock100001000 each give me one point. I
win, and all points are destroyed.
