To be honest, the whole "player agreement" business has always seemed odd to me on p99.
I don't understand, in principle, how other players (allegedly) were able to agree to a binding rule for anyone other than themselves. Some of these agreements are from years ago on a different server. How can players make an agreement on blue five years ago that is binding on green? It just sounds suspect.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the role that these "player agreements" perform (and I mostly agree with them and appreciate that it helps the game run smoothly), I just don't exactly understand how they came to be, why they persist, or how to even potentially change them.
"Player agreements" in practice have always seemed more like "GM approved ideas" than some kind of democratically arrived at system to me. Its the most difficult thing to explain to someone imo when they ask about rules on these servers.
