================== FULL TEXT AND HISTORY OF CONTRACTS ==================
========================================================================
The following contract(s) exist:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Favors" (revision 2)
----------
Any player CAN join this contract by announcement.
Each party to this contract CAN leave the contract by announcement, unless
e is the creator of at least 1 existing favor.
Favors are a class of assets, tracked by the Favoring One. The Favoring One
is snail at first, but any party CAN become the Favoring One by
announcement if the Favoring One is not a party to this contract. The
Favoring One CAN change the text of this contract with 10 days notice.
Favors' essential attributes are their text, creator, cost, and period. The
cost must be a positive integer, and the period must be a time period, in
days (minimum 0 days). A favor's owner is referred to as its bearer. Favors
with the same text, creator, cost, period, and bearer are fungible.
A consenting player CAN, by announcement, grant a specified entity a favor,
specifying its text, cost, and period and becoming its creator.
A favor's bearer CAN, by announcement, cash the favor,
provided that any conditions for cashing it specified by its text
are unambiguously met. By doing so, e acts on the creator of the
favor's behalf, causing the creator to act as if e published the
favor's text, and destroys the favor. However, to limit
recursion, no favor can be cashed during the execution of
another favor unless it existed before the execution of that
favor began. The bearer SHOULD recite the favor's essential
attributes in the same message e cashes it.
In a favor's text, "the bearer" (or the like) refers to the
favor's bearer, and "this favor" (or the like) refers to the
favor. The text of the favor can refer to the context of the
message in which it is cashed, but the context of the message does
not otherwise change the meaning of the favor.
The Library CAN own favors. Any player CAN take
a specified favor from the Library by announcement, provided e
cashes the promise in the same message.
The creator of a specified favor CAN take it or revoke it from an entity by
creating a number of blots in eir possession equal to the favor's cost, if
the favor has existed for at least its period.
Parties SHOULD regard favors as socially acceptable for their creators to
revoke, especially if it would be beneficial for them to do so.

"Backroom Casino"
----------
I) Pit Boss
The Pit Boss is Mischief.
II) Wheel of Fortune
The wheel is an untracked singleton switch with two possible
values: not spinning (default) and spinning. To "spin the wheel"
means to flip the wheel switch to spinning. The wheel switch
CANNOT be flipped except as explicitly allowed by the body of
this contract.
A player CAN spin the wheel by announcement if both of the
following are true:
A) the wheel has not been spinning at any time in the past
week, and
B) the most recent moment of truth was at least three weeks
ago.
III) Moments of Truth
The following are moments of truth:
A) the creation of this contract, and
B) any time an entity spins the wheel.
IV) Fortune and Fate
If the wheel is spinning, the Pit Boss CAN, and SHALL in a timely
fashion, resolve it according to the following procedure:
A) The betting period is the period between (but not
including) the second most recent moment of truth and
(including) the most recent moment of truth.
B) Each entity holds a number of tickets equal to the number
of times in the betting period that entity paid a fee of 1
spendie to cause this contract to gain a candle. (All other
entities hold zero tickets.)
C) The total number of candles gained by this contract during
the betting period is denoted C.
D) In the event that this contract's candle holdings change
other than due to:
1) the payment of a fee of 1 spendie to cause this contract
to gain a candle, or
2) actions taken in accordance with the body of this
contract to resolve a spin of the wheel,
then the Pit Boss CAN in eir discretion adjust the ticket
holdings of any entity or the value of C. If e does so, e
SHALL do so in a reasonably fair and equitable manner
considering the nature of the events that modified this
contract's candle holdings.
E) The Pit Boss SHALL generate a random integer N between 1
and 100 (inclusive of both).
1) If 1 <= N <= 24: the outcome of the spin is a raid.
2) If N = 25:
i. If the owner of the Veblen as of the most recent
moment of truth holds at least one ticket and is
still a player at the time the spin is resolved, then
the outcome of the spin is that e is the lucky one.
ii. Otherwise, the outcome of the spin is a raid.
3) If 26 <= N <= 100:
i. If, as of the time the spin is resolved, no players
hold tickets, then the outcome of the spin is a raid.
ii. Otherwise, the Pit Boss SHALL randomly select one
player, with each player's probability proportional
to eir ticket holdings. The outcome of the spin is
that the selected player is the lucky one.
F) The Pit Boss SHALL announce the outcome of the spin,
additionally specifying all of the following:
1) the number of tickets held by each player holding one or
more tickets;
2) the value of C;
3) the value of N; and
4) if any adjustments are made under subsection D) of this
procedure, the nature of each adjustment made and a
brief summary or explanation of the corresponding event
that led to the adjustment.
G) The Pit Boss SHALL perform the following actions, as
applicable, in order:
1) If the outcome of the spin is a raid: the Pit Boss CAN
and SHALL destroy C of this contract's candles.
2) If the outcome of the spin is a player is the lucky one:
the Pit Boss CAN and SHALL bestow a prize of C radiance
on that player.
3) The Pit Boss CAN and SHALL flip the wheel switch to not
spinning by announcement.
V) Termination
If the wheel is not spinning and this contract owns no candles,
this contract CAN be terminated either:
A) by announcement by the Pit Boss, or
B) with support of at least half of its members.
VI) Amendments
The terms of this contract CAN be amended with either:
A) support of at least two-thirds of its members; or
B) support of at least half of its members, provided the Pit
Boss is one of the supporters;
provided that, in either case, the following were published --
in the same message -- clearly, conspicuously, explicitly, and
without obfuscation at least 14 days and not more than 28 days
before the amendment was enacted:
C) the changes to be made to the terms of this contract; and
D) an indication that such changes are intended as a potential
amendment to terms of this contract.
VII) Freedom of Association
A player who is not already a party to this contract CAN become a
party to this contract by announcement.
A party to this contract other than the Pit Boss CAN cease to be
a party to this contract by announcement.
A party to this contract CAN remove another party to this
contract (the "absent party") by announcement, clearly
identifying the absent party, provided that the absent party has
not been a player at any time in the two weeks prior to the
announcement.
VIII) Spirit of the Game
The terms of this contract are to be interpreted to the maximum
extent possible in accordance with their intended spirit.
The Pit Boss SHALL exercise all eir powers and responsibilities
with respect to this contract in good faith.
