That's actually an interesting story to add to the history books.

This is the part that I don't understand really. "At some point". It makes sense...but how did the staff decide when a critical mass for a critical time agreeing to something meant it should be enforced by staff? Its good...but it seems super arbitrary.

Also, how can it change? Are future players on blue forever bound to an agreement forged months/years ago?

Are there any examples of staff unbinding a player agreement based on players deciding to abandon it?

Is there any example of a player agreement that staff didn't like, but accepted/enforced because players had agreed?
