I answer NO, for the reasons I laid out earlier, namely that a
Contract only has the power to create a means for parties to leave,
and cannot cause players to become parties by its own authority.

I don't believe an Oracularity is necessary, although a proposal to
cause contacts with no parties to automatically dissolve so the MoB
doesn't have to track them indefinitely would be welcomed, I think.
