I see nothing wrong with the name "all players". It's no worse than  
Uniquely Identifying Names, whom some of you may remember from the  
early days of the Nomic. I myself played Nomicron for a period under  
the name The Rules. The general assumption is that when there is any  
ambiguity, you assume it doesn't mean the player unless it explicitly  
points to the player. Thus, "all players has score 0" means "all  
players have score 0", whereas "The player named all players has  
score 0" means "The player formerly known as bd has score 0".

Also, I think this prop should change eir name to "The player  
formerly known as bd".
