From r578/20: "A Society may force its members to perform actions." I 
interpreted this to mean that a society can tell a player they must 
perform an action, not that the society actually caused the action to 
occur. If the player then fails to perform said action, the society can 
penalize them in some way (kick them out, take some points, whatever). If 
I'm wrong, then we still have automation scripts, they're just disguised 
as societies.
