[s-b] Things are tough all over

[Ed Murphy <emurphy42@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI, I've just judged in Agora that H. MFR Wooble's attempt to register
B as a player of Agora was ineffective.  Agora explicitly recognizes
certain legal entities as persons (hence able to register), but B does
not meet the standard.

Here are the relevant Agoran rules:

Rule 2145/2 (Power=2)
Partnerships

       A binding agreement governed by the rules which devolves its
       legal obligations onto a subset of its parties, numbering at
       least two, collectively, is a partnership.  The members of a
       partnership are those parties onto whom the partnership's legal
       obligations are collectively devolved.  A partnership's identity
       and partnershiphood are not disrupted by changes to its
       membership provided that it continues to meet the definition of
       a partnership.

       A partnership's basis is the set consisting of the union of the
       set of its non-partnership members with the bases of each of its
       partnership members.  Where circularity occurs in this
       definition, it is resolved by using the minimum basis sets that
       provide consistency.

       A partnership whose basis contains at least two persons is a
       person.

Rule 2144/5 (Power=1)
Limited Partnerships

       A partnership is prohibited from registering if its basis is the
       same as that of another registered partnership.

       If a registered partnership has the same basis as another
       registered partnership, it can be deregistered by any player
       with Agoran Consent.

While B's rules implicitly require its players to fulfill their own
obligations arising within B, they do not require its players to
fulfill B's obligations arising within Agora.  They allow one of its
players (the H. MFR) to do so, but that's insufficient on numbers as
well as significance.
