Notice of Honour
+1 to H. Notary ATMunn: the way we tend to amend contracts around here
seems like a pain in the rear for the notary.
-1 Agora: Illustrating the principle that Agora can be drawn on (within
limits).
I amend the Private Honour contract to read as follows:
(fixed so you can't use a NoH to gain karma for yourself).

Honour
Karma is an integer switch (default 0) for persons and Agora.
A player, acting as emself, CAN publish a Notice of Honour. For a
Notice of Honour to be valid, it must:
* Be clear that it is a Notice of Honour;
* Be the first valid Notice of Honour that player has published in
the current week;
* Specify any player other than emself, or Agora, to gain karma,
and specify any player, or Agora, to lose karma, and provide a
reason for specifying those entities.
* Not specify Agora if the net effect of the notice would move
Agora out of the [-3,3] karma range.
When a valid Notice of Honour is published, the specified
entities gain/lose one karma as specified.
Worthiness
A player's worthiness is reflected as follows:
* Any player with a karma of 7 or greater is a Samurai.
* Any player with a karma of -7 or less is an Gamma.
* The player with the highest karma (if any) is the Shogun.
* The player with the lowest karma (if any) is the Honourless
Worm.
Balance
In a timely fashion after the beginning of each Quarter, the
Sensei CAN and SHALL by announcement, perform the following tasks
in order:
1. Halve (rounding towards 0) the Karma of every Unregistered
person.
2. Set the Karma of Agora such that the sum of all Karma switch
instance values in the game is equal to 0.
Guidance
The Sensei tracks the stuff defined in this contract and SHALL
publish a report on it at least monthly. G. is the Sensei.
Worldly Concerns
This contract implements the circa-2018 Honour System in a wholly private
setting. Players need not be parties to publish valid notices of honour.
The various functions defined here (switches etc.) are not rules-defined,
but follow commonsense application of rules text/precedents/game custom
etc. for such things. G. is the only member of this contract and CAN
terminate or amend it by announcement.
