OK, what about this for an argument:

I may or may not be a player; if the game has been frozen for years due
to a neverending emergency, then I never became a player. Thus it is
uncertain whether or not I am a player. This uncertainty goes back to
the time I registered.

There are many other players (everyone?) who have registered since B's
first Emergency. Each of them, likewise, may or may not be a player
depending on whether the argument above is correct.

Therefore, there is an uncertainty over who is a player, and has been
ever since B's first emergency, thus determining which players are PEPs
must be done /at the time of the first emergency/, which is "before such
uncertainty or drop in player count". So I'm not a PEP, even if the
argument above is completely invalid, just because it's uncertain. Are
you?
