Got it. Just so I don't forget, here's a revision with "unconditional"
before every "announcement" except for the last one, where I don't
think it's needed.

Title: Clairvoyant Roshambo
At every time, the Roshambo Wheel is set to exactly one of Rock,
Paper or Scissors. When the Rules do not say that its value
changes, it stays the same. If it would otherwise not be set to a
value, it is set to Rock.
Whenever a player has not done so in the past 4 days, e CAN
Commune with the Wheel by unconditional announcement, specifying a
new value for the wheel. A player CAN Reach into the Past by
unconditional announcement at any time. When a player Communes
with the Wheel, the Roshambo Wheel is changed to the value e
specified, as long as that value is Rock, Paper or Scissors, and e
does not not Reach into the Past in the following four days.
Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beats Paper, and Paper beats Rock.
Roshambo Score is an integer player switch. Once per Agoran week,
each player CAN Play Roshambo by unconditional announcement,
specifying Rock, Paper or Scissors, but only if e has not Communed
with the Wheel in the past 4 days. When e does so:
* If e specifies a value that beats the current value of the
Roshambo Wheel, then 4 days later, eir Roshambo Score is
increased by 1.
* If e specifies a value that is beaten by the current value of
the Roshambo Wheel, then 4 days later, eir Roshambo Score is
decreased by 1.
The Medium is an office, and the recordkeepor of Roshambo Score.
A player with a Roshambo Score of at least 10 CAN Transcend Time
by announcement. When e does so, e wins the game, and all
instances of the Roshambo Score switch are flipped to 0.
