Did I miss a new definition of "willing" something to be done? Agora has
no will (kind of like "consent", that's reserved for natural persons, by a
couple of precedents) and even if it had a "will" it's got no mechanism
for communicating its will?
Proto: "A person CAN make Agora willing to perform a specified action by
threatening Agora with a chainsaw."
Actually, I think "at will" is a very broken concept here. The point of
it in R2551 is to allow the transfer of assets that a player CAN transfer
however e likes anyway. However, the whole point of zombie security is
that no one can transfer zombies however they like. Any limitation placed
on Agora making the transfer generally means that Agora can't transfer "at
will". So it's literally defining a term to be its opposite.
Proto: Amend the paragraph in question to:
The winner of the lot SHALL, in a timely fashion, pay a fee (the
number of the Auction's currency equal to eir bid) to the
Auctioneer in order to satisfy eir auction debt. When e does so,
the auctioneer immediately transfers the items in that lot to that
winner, unless the rules prevent em from doing so, in which case e
SHALL do so in a timely fashion.
