Re: [s-b] (Burnt Sienna) Proposal: Contracts Plus

["Charles Schaefer" <chuckles11489@xxxxxxxxx>]

I revise my proposal to read:

> {Create a new rule titled "Contract Law" with the following text:
> {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, as well
> as in any other way allowed by that Contract. A Contract may specify ways
> for Players to become, or cease to become, Parties to it, provided that no
> Player shall be made a Party to a Contract without their explicit consent.
>
> 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, but 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.

 A Contract declaring itself to be a set of Articles of Incorporation

>
> Any Corporation, whose Articles of Incorporation do not comply with this

> A Contract may declare itself to be a Power of Attorney, specifying a

> Attorney is either General or Limited, defaulting to Limited. A General
> Power of Attorney authorizes the Agent to cause any actions except those

MoC Note: I removed the dependancy on J's proposal.

This now incorporates J's contract law text, with some improvements.
