They communicate telepathically through me. They can use my working e-mail address and can pass the Turing test ( just ask me the questions, and I'll pass on their responses.) Using my e-mail, 100,001,000 of them join the game, under the names "rock1" through "rock100001000". They each receive a welcome point automatically under r14, and rock1 through rock100000000 give 1 point each to Zarpint's Tax Shelter. Currently, only players can win by getting more than 1,000 points, but entities can conduct research. Zarpint's Tax Shelter conducts General Research 20 million times. rock100000001 through rock100001000 each give me one point. I win, and all points are destroyed.
