spoon-business: Proposal: Debts

[Dan Waldron <wald7330@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

[[Most of this would have been allowed by permissibility of the
unprohibited anyway but...]]

The following is a new proposal entitled "Debt Transfer"

Enact a new rule entitled "Debts are Objects" with text as follows:

Debts are objects which may be transferred at will.  The player to which a
debt is payable is the same as the owner of that debt.

An Agent may create a debt any time, in their own ownership, by posting
eir intent to the Public Forum.  The debt is created when its creation is
recognized by its owner.  Unless specified otherwise by the rules or a
legislative, administrative, or judicial order the debt is always owed by
its creator.

Debts are divisible.  The owner of a debt may elect to split it into
component debts such that the sum of the point-values of the component
debts is equal to the point-value of the original debt.  The component
debts may then be transferred independantly.  Component debts have the
same owner, debtor, and due date as the original debt.

Each Agent is responsible for recording the debts owned by em.  This
information must be made publicly available.  If an agent is requested, by
any agent, to post this information to the Public Forum e is required to
do so.

If a CFJ finds that an agent has failed to follow the rules by
distributing false debt information, a correct version of that debt
information shall be posted to the public forum, and that agent owes the
bank one judge's salary and one officer's salary.

The Banker may accept for payment to the Bank the transfer of a debt or
debts equal in total point value to the amount owed to the Bank.
