I appeal the above judgement. Arguments: While the judge is correct
that "All game entities must have uniquely-identifying names", and
this unambiguously means all identifying names held by players must be
unique, the fact that something MUST happen does *not* mean that it
does - merely that players who MUST do something are in violation of
the rule in question. (See Rule 14.) Ergo, the MUST clause in Rule 2
does not block me from becoming a player with the relevant name; it
merely means that the other Murphy is breaking Rule 2. (I do have to
specify a unique name when joining, but as I in fact specified four of
them I should be good.)

 - teucer
