Re: [s-d] [s-b] Inflationary Language

Contracts are creating Game Objects already. Witness Black Corp: "Any 
Voting Sockholder may attempt to amend this contract by posting a Motion 
by announcement. The Motion is a Game Document and should specify a list 
of Contract Actions."

4E70 explicitly permits (even requires) Corporations to create Game 
Objects: "A Legal Entity, as a Game Action, may create a Game Document 
known as a Contract." There is no provision to limit Legal Entities to 
creating just this sub-class of Game Object, nor is there any provision 
in the rules to make Points a different flavor of object from other Game 
Objects that would make them somehow unmintable. Points are created 
other places than 4E19, for instance tidiness list payment. I have a 
proposal pending that disallows the creation of points outside explicit 
rules.

If my transaction is challenged on the public forum, I challenge the 
legality and existence of several corporations.
