That "can't revoke a negative number of assets" is CFJ-worthy: D. Margaux
interpreted it otherwise. (I'm not going to give an argument either way,
personally - it's exactly what I wanted to find out about).

I would also add a clause allowing parties to leave the contract if not currently
engaging in a Space Battle, but in principle I think it works too, although I don't
entirely see the point - an Energy value higher than the Spaceship's Energy balance is
explicitly reduced to the Spaceship's Energy balance, and a negative Energy value should
have the same effect as zero Energy (because you can't "revoke" a negative
number of assets).
(And effects on Armour are based on the amount of Energy actually revoked, not
the amount stated.)

I think this works. Punishment for violation could be to permit the aggrieved
player to act on behalf of the violator to transfer to the aggrieved player a
number of coins sufficient (but not more than necessary) to enable the
aggrieved player to put emself in the same position with respect to armour and
energy as e would have been in if the contract had been followed. (The precise
language of that punishment may need to be ironed out a little.)

Proto-contract: Unlasting Damage
(does this work? thoughts, edits?)
When a combatant is a member of this contract, when they initiate a space
battle with another member, they can specify that the combat uses Anti-
Entropy. Members of this contract agree that, for any space battle in
which both combatants are members and this is specified, they will submit a
value in the range N-30, where N is between 0 and 20, inclusive.
(thoughts on punishment if broken?)
This contract is not an alliance.

I resolve space battle 0002 as follows:
twg chose 10 energy.
G. chose -10 (i.e., negative 10) energy.
twg's spaceship: 10/10 armour*, 10/20 energy
G.'s spaceship: 0/10 armour, 20/20 energy**
twg is the winner.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*By Rule 2591, armour is a switch with value 0 to 10, so twg's armour
CANNOT grow to 20.
**By Rule 2592, any energy in excess of 20 is destroyed, so G.'s
energy CANNOT grow to 30 (or if it does, it is immediately reduced
back to 20).
