[s-b] MoM and Contracts

[Jay Campbell <bnomic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the Ministry of Ministries is vacant, I assign it to myself.

I submit the following proposal entitled "Contracts Rejiggered" {

A Player may create a uniquely named Game Document known as a Contract. Players who are bound by a Contract are known as Parties to that contract. Contracts may be modified with the explicit approval of all parties. A Contract may specify ways for Players to become, or cease to become, Parties to it, which must involve the explicit posting to the Public Forum the sentence "I become a party to " (or "I cease to be a party to ") plus the name of the Contract. 

When a Party becomes obligated by a Contract to perform a specific game action, any Player may Trigger that action on the Public Forum, causing the obligated Party to attempt it.

Contracts may create Things, which are Game Objects that exist only within the scope of that Contract. Things may be referenced from other contexts. Things may not be created with the same name as any existing Game Object. Any object or state that a Contract claims to create which 
is not authorized by the Rules is considered a Thing.

There exists a Ministry known as the Ministry of Business. The Minister of Business, also known as the Arbiter, is responsible for maintaining a Public Display of all Contracts and their current text, parties and other game state. The Minister may delegate authority and responsibility of maintaining a specific Contract's Public Display to any Party of that Contract.

If a Contract has no Parties, any Player may cause it to cease to be a Game Object.

}
