So Joel's dice roller had a bug where it didn't loop pver the
number of sides. You're supposed to get 2d5 for being Quoted, but
you only got 1d5 due to the bug. I rerolled it, and the end
result was that you lost a point, strangely enough.

Analysis by Defendant:

Hjallti became a player at the instant e posted. Consider the
following hypothetical post to s-b:

{{
I join the game of B Nomic under the name "Foo Bar". I propose
the following rule:
  {{
  The official text editor of B Nomic is vim.
  }}
}}

The proposal would still be made, because at the instant Foo Bar
made the above post, e became a player and all rules that apply
to players begin applying to em. The same is true in Hjallti's
case.

This CFI is randomly assigned to Peter.
