It could say "at least one," for example in the case of theta, who's 
used two different email addresses since I've been in the game, but 
doesn't really close your rock hole, especially in the case of someone 
like, say, me, who technically has an infinite number of unique mail 
addresses (*@interalia.org goes to me).

Or, it could say "exactly one," but in that case we possibly have to 
kick theta out for not being a player if it passes. :P Stops the rocks, 
though.

Or the unique part could be removed altogether, leaving it to just say 
"It has a working e-mail address not already in use by an existing 
player." This means the rocks couldn't play, because they share the 
same email address as you. Again, though, that wouldn't stop anyone 
like me, but that's a technicality.

I'd also like to find some way to refine the bit about the Turing Test, 
but I can't really think of a way to do it.
