[s-d] B never started


The initial ruleset said:
    All game entities must have uniquely identifying names.
and
    The Administrator is David E. Smith.

Clearly, David E. Smith's name is not uniquely identifying, so he
could not be a game entity.  Thus, in the strict interpretation
universe, nothing ever happened in B, and we're left with a very old
unplayable ruleset.

Don't even get me started about the requirement that players be
"capable of passing the Turing Test".  Under strict interpretation,
only a computer that pretends to be a woman can pass the Turing Test.
I'm fairly confident that none of the players of B have been
computers, and in any that may have been were pretending to be men.
