Hmmm, this is true. I really should have boned up on my Greeks before
jumping into that contract ;-)


to do one better than my previous email, one could also add in a provision
precluding the prosecution (via consultation) of players who failed to
fulfill obligations given unto them by a contract when that same contract
forced them into breaking that obligation (either by making it unrealistic,
or logically impossible, or otherwise).

Someone mentioned recently Agora having something similar about breaking the
laws of the game itself (which would apply to our courts system) where a
ruling can declare that the player simply had no choice but to break one of
two laws, for example. I don't think we necessarily need to go that far yet,
but since contracts can impose obligations on people in a slightly more
willy-nilly fashion (less once the emergency ends, hopefully), it might be
good to have for contract law, at least.
