There are two types of Player in PTomic: Individuals and Alliances. 'Member' refers to any member of the Outpost Gallifrey Forum (OGF).

A member may become an Individual either by posting in the Thread a request to join the game or by taking part in a Move (by submitting a Proposal or voting in a Referendum). In either case, they become an Individual Player with effect from the beginning of that first post. The Name of an Individual is always their current OGF username.

 

A group of Players may join together to form an Alliance if one of the group posts a list of all the Players to join the Alliance and the Name of the Alliance and all of the group's other Players assent to the Alliance within 24 hours. As soon as they have all assented, the component Players cease to exist and the new Alliance comes into existence, with all the Points and Rules of the component Players. No Name may duplicate the Name of any existing Player or the username of any Member.

An Alliance may have as many Proposals in the Pool as it has Members, and in Referendums it may cast (all in one direction) as many votes as it has Members. (This Rule takes precedence over Rules 106 and 203.)

 

All Members in an Alliance are considered to be posting and playing as that Alliance, except if they post that they wish to leave the Alliance: in this case, that Member immediately becomes an Individual, and takes with them an nth (rounded down to an integer) of the Alliance's Points, where n is the number of Members in the Alliance before they left; and each of the Alliance's Rules is randomly assigned to belong to the Individual with a probability of an nth. If an Alliance has only one Member, the Alliance ceases to exist and the Member becomes an Individual, with all the Points and Rules of the Alliance.

 

If the Secretary joins an Alliance, the Alliance takes on the role of Secretary. If a Member leaves an Alliance that is Secretary, the Alliance continues to be Secretary. If an Alliance that is Secretary becomes an Individual, that Individual becomes the Secretary.

 

An Individual immediately ceases to be a Player if they post a request to leave the game or if they have not taken part in any of the past thirty-two Moves. If an Alliance has not taken part in any of the past thirty-two Moves, it ceases to exist, and all Members who were in it are no longer Players.
