The rules seem kinda screwed up on this point, but I would suspect that I am 
an agent (but not a player).  According to 105/0, an agent is any entity 
capable of action.  According to the prevailing interpretation of the rules, 
a new person may make a motion to add emself. This clearly ought to be 
considered an "action," which really makes any person an agent.  However, 
105/0 also says that an entity may not solely on eir own authority become an 
agent.  The only way I see that all these things could be consistent is if 
we consider the last sentence of this rule to be entirely superfluous. (It 
says no entity may cause itself to become an agent, but never says that all 
entities capable of action have not always been agents.)
Ah, my convoluted wordings must be fun to read (isnt such a writing style 
consistent with the ideas of nomic, though?), but I know they make sense.
