I become a party.

BUS: New contract

[ATMunn]

I create the following contract, transferring 1 shiny to Agora to do so:


Title: "Sherlock Holmes Institute"


Any player CAN become a party to this contract (syn. join the Institute)
by announcement. Any party CAN cease to be a party (syn. leave the
Institute) by announcement. ATMunn is always a party of this contract,
and is known as the Chancellor of the Institute (Chancellor for short).

The Chancellor CAN, at any time, amend or destroy this contract without
2 objections.

This contract is willing to accept shinies, and nothing else.

A party to this contract can hold one of two roles: Author or
Investigator. By default, all parties to this contract are Investigators
unless specified otherwise. No party can become an Author unless the
Chancellor appoints em as one.

The Chancellor, by default, is an Author. E CAN, by announcement,
appoint any Investigator to become an Author. Upon doing so, the
specified party CAN become an Author by announcement. Any Author CAN
become an Investigator at any time, by announcement. However, once an
Author becomes an Investigator again, e CANNOT become an Author again
unless the Chancellor appoints em as one again.

Once every month, any Author CAN publish a Scene by announcement,
becoming that Scene's Author. A Scene is a work of fictional literature,
and MUST contain some sort of mystery, and be at least 200 words in
order to be valid. Scenes SHOULD be related to Agora in some way. A
single Scene can only have one Author, and a single Author can have no
more than one Scene at any time.

In the same message that e published a Scene, the Author of the scene
CAN and SHALL transfer at least 5 shinies to this contract. These
shinies are designated as this Scene's Reward. Authors CAN add shinies
to eir Scene's Reward at any time, by announcement, by transferring
those shinies to this contract.

Within 30 days from the publishing of a Scene, any party to this
contract other than the Scene's Author CAN claim to have Deduced the
Mystery by announcement. Then, in a timely fashion from the announcement
of the claim, the Scene's Author CAN and SHALL announce whether or not
the claim was correct. If it was, then the party who Deduced the Mystery
CAN cause this contract to transfer the Scene's Reward to emself by
announcement. If the claim was incorrect, nothing happens.

If 30 days pass from the publishing of a Scene and no player has
correctly Deduced the Mystery, than the Author of that Scene is said to
have Stumped all of the Investigators, and CAN cause this contract to
transfer the Scene's Reward to emself by announcement.

Seems cool. I become a party to the Order.

I create the following contract, titled "Order of the Occult Hand", by paying 
Agora 1 Shiny:
{{{
The player 天火狐 is the proprietor of the Order of the Occult Hand. The proprietor CAN make 
amendments to this contract by announcing eir intent to do so with at least 48 hours 
notice. All other non-proprietor parties to this contract are referred to as a 
"participant" of this contract.

A player CAN become a party to this contract via announcement. A party to this 
contract who is not wagering the occult hand CAN cease being a party to this 
contract by announcement.

The collective assets which this contract owns is referred to as the "Pot". The 
only party which is allowed to transfer assets from the Pot is the proprietor. The 
proprietor MAY NOT transfer assets from the Pot except as detailed in this contract. This 
contract is willing to receive all assets.

When a participant to this contract announces they wish to "wager the occult 
hand", the following happens:
* If the party is already wagering the occult hand, this announcement is 
INEFFECTIVE. Otherwise, the participant is considered to be wagering the occult 
hand.
* The proprietor, in a private channel of communication, shall message the participant in 
a timely manner a secret word or phrase known as their "Shibboleth". The 
proprietor SHALL announce that the participant has received eir Shibboleth. If the 
proprietor fails to do so in a timely manner, then the participant is no longer 
considered to be wagering the occult hand.

When a proposal authored by a participant contains as a substring, in its text, 
eir Shibboleth and, at the time of the closure of the voting period of the 
aforementioned proposal, no participant to this contract has found the occult 
hand in the proposal, the following occurs:
* The participant who authored the proposal SHOULD, in a timely manner, 
announce that they have won against the occult hand;
* The proprietor SHALL transfer the Pot to said participant in a timely manner.
* The participant is no longer considered to be wagering the occult hand.

The action to "look for the occult hand" refers to one of three actions, 
distinguished by the cost paid by the party taking the action. The valid options are:
* If the party announces they are looking for the occult hand and pays this 
contract 16 shinies, they may name a pending or distributed proposal authored 
by a participant who is wagering the occult hand;
* If the party announces they are looking for the occult hand and pays this 
contract 3 shinies, they may name a paragraph in a pending or distributed 
proposal authored by a participant who is wagering the occult hand;
* If the party announces they are looking for the occult hand and pays this 
contract 1 shiny, they may name a word.

Should the named text contain any part of the author's Shibboleth, then the occult hand 
is considered found in that proposal. The party who successfully found the occult hand is 
entitled to the Shinies they paid this contract to take the action plus half of the 
remaining Shinies in the Pot (rounded down), which the proprietor SHALL transfer in a 
timely manner. If the named text in a "look for the occult hand" action does 
not contain any part of the author's Shibboleth, then nothing happens.

A participant who is wagering the occult hand CAN announce they are conceding 
the wager and paying this contract 4 shinies. If they do so, they are no longer 
considered to be wagering the occult hand.

The proprietor MAY transfer assets from the Pot to pay for any upkeep to 
sustain the existence of this contract.
The proprietor SHOULD ensure that there are at least 5 shinies in the Pot at 
all times.

I pay the contract "Order of the Occult Hand" 5 shinies.

I become a party of Order of the Occult Hand. I like the idea
tremendously but there's two qualms:

* Party and participant are used interchangeably when they are in fact
not. Party includes the proprietor, participant does not. This leads,
either intentionally or accidentally, to the bigger issue:

* The proprietor appears to be able to look for the occult hand,
potentially making this a giant scam.
