You know, the main reason I never suggested we do that was because I always
figured some inactive players might eventually decide to come back, and they
should be allowed to use the points/macks they'd accumulated in the past.
This happened for Charles, for example.

But now that we've done away with points and reset all macks, there's really
no reason* not to deregister them, given that they don't have any more
assets than they'd get upon joining...

*We should be polite if deregistering them, though, and put in a clause that
says that a player deregistered through whatever mechanism we cook up is
allowed to become a player again at any time (i.e. no "hasn't been a player
in the current or previous nweek" restriction). Otherwise, it would just be
a little mean if Peter or Eugene came back and found that they weren't
allowed to play for 2 nweeks (i.e. a couple months maybe).
