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

One more revision (adding another layer of protection as well as MoB name
change):

{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.

No Player shall be made a Party to a Contract without their explicit
consent, and no Contract may impose any obligation upon a non-Party.

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 Solicitor, 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
creates a Legal Entity known as a Corporation. Articles of Incorporation
must, at minimum, establish the name of the Corporation and at define at
least one Officer. Only parties to a Corporation's Articles of Incorporation
can be Officers of that Corporation.

Officers of a Corporation shall collectively ensure that the Corporation
fulfills the obligations specified in its Articles or any other Contract to
which it may be Party. Only a Party to the Articles of Incorporation may
become an Officer of a Corporation. Unless otherwise restricted by the
Articles of Incorporation, an officer may act on behalf of a Corporation by
submitting a game action on behalf of the Corporation, explicitly stating
the actions described in are being performed by the Corporation.

Any Corporation, whose Articles of Incorporation do not comply with this
rule, ceases to be a Legal Entity and the Articles of Incorporation cease to
be a Game Object.

A Contract may declare itself to be a Power of Attorney, specifying a
Principal and an Agent, who must both be Parties to the Contract. A Power of
Attorney is either General or Limited, defaulting to Limited. A General
Power of Attorney authorizes the Agent to cause any actions except those
specified as Reservations, while a Limited Power of Attorney authorizes the
Agent to cause ONLY those actions specified as Delegations. When authorized,
the Agent may send a message to a public forum causing the Principal to take
any action which the Principal is legally able to take.}}
