Could you explain why you feel it necessary to define "private", is the common English definition not sufficient on some regard? I believe that it is beyond my ability to draft to adequately restrict such divulgences to the judicial cases where it is needed, since it might open up the avenue of

I'm a bit wary of it. If my suggestion about requiring proposals to have some votes is implemented, the proposals will probably all be real proposals. If there are only a few more of them, than I'm just doing my regular job (not that I'd object to a proper pay raise). If the contract ends up

Sorry Aris! It's also worth considering that people don't have to do it in one week, so that might be a silver lining. 天火狐 On 28 October 2017 at 18:44, Aris Merchant < thoughtsoflifeandligh...@gmail.com> wrote: > I didn't consider that. They do have to bury it so people don't know > which

For keeping track of contracts? Surely a little bit of bookkeeping is worth interesting gameplay. As far as I understand it, the Notary only has to keep track of who is party to the Occult Hand, the Treasurer needs to keep track of the Pot, and I have to do everything else. 天火狐 On 28 October
