I submit that neither the G-Men [[Yes, I caught the three-way pun. I hate
puns.]], the Pay-bd-Men, nor Team Wonko exist:


"G.2. Creating a Society by a Player Action

A Player may, no more than once per nweek, in the first five ndays of an
nweek, declare a Society by stating eir intent to do so, along with the
Society's Charter. 

The Charter must include a list of the Society's initial Members. Players in
the list other than the Player declaring the Society must state their
acceptance of membership into the Society in the same nweek as the
declaration, or will be dropped from the list of initial Members.

If, at the end of the nweek in which the Society was declared, a proposal
that nweek has barred it from existing, or the Society would have no
Members, the Charter is discarded and the Society does not exist."



Something is missing from the above quote [[from Rule 578/5 : Societies]]

What's missing is the part where the society gets made.

In other words, while we can declare societies, they will never actually be
created.

So none of the player-action societies ever will exist.
