Re: [s-d] [s-b] Proposal: Contract Law

["Jamie Dallaire" <bad.leprechaun@xxxxxxxxx>]

The way I read them, this proposal and Ivan's contract proposal seem to be
suggesting quite different entities. Ivan's could potentially resemble an
alternative to the old factions, in that it can have money and devices and
be an active entity within the game. BobTHJ's seem to be more like contracts
that hold people to certain things, i.e. signed for your job or to rent a
place. social vs legal contract?

My point is, can we get different names for them so it doesn't get too
confusing?

My other point: BobTHJ, why go through the trouble of detailing
consultations and oracularities procedures when you could just use the
criminal system? (I can see one possible difference in that current criminal
law wouldn't necessarily allow a punishment such as: m100 is transfered from
Billy Pilgrim to Codae... but that could be handily fixed)
