The point of giving away the contract is to stop you from destroying
it before the payment is received (scamming the other player of his
money), though this isn't really an issue if all the contracts are
handled in public fora.

Hmmm... when you give away the contract, then you aren't assured that
the contract is destroyed after the transaction. Maybe another
contract would have to be involved to assure the destruction of the
first contract. Oh, well. That's all details.

Well, the Submission and the Transaction rules both deal with
Outsiders, so I thought it was best to follow suit. Not that
non-Player Outsiders can make many meaningful Game Actions... but if
that ever changes...
