For a start, "my avatar"?

Secondly, no, the game is what a /majority/ of people think it is. So
if one less than half the player base thinks it is that, and one
person who previously didn't starts thinking it is, then it becomes
that.

Actually I think the problem is that it's quite likely that there will
be situations in which there is /no/ majority that agrees on what the
game is. We need to pull a Yudkowsky here, and define a "coherent
vision" of the game-state; i.e. a gamestate that weighs opinions on
individual aspects of the state based on how many people think them,
and breaks conflicts by fixing the issue that has a larger majority
with a single opinion on it in favour of that opinion, etc.
