Player

A player is a Volity network entity who actively interacts with the network, mostly by playing games. It can be a human connecting through a client, or a computer-controlled bot. In either case, players earn ELO scores as they play different games, and accumulate reputation as they interact with other players.

For simplicity's sake we refer to all Volity users as "table.html" class=wikipagelink>table, a player might be simply observing, rather that sitting in a seat and actually playing.

Like all over Volity (and Jabber) entities, every player is uniquely identified by its JabberID. The base part of a player's JID (that is, everything before the resource string) is used as a key for all bookkeeper-level lookups, as with the reputation system.
