How about it? Currently, via Agencies, the blame for a certain action goes on who is puppeteered via the Agency, not the puppet-master (I think it may work the same with Contracts but I haven't read the latest draft yet but I'm eager to asap). So this is very similar to that.

I see a lot of "done's" and "fixed" but I don't see a "latest version" part. Please post it to check it out. (I do a lot/want to do a lot of Agency stuff lol. It's my favorite mechanic, and if you make it even better, then, I'd be super grateful) On Thu, Sep 7, 2017 at 2:08 AM, Aris Merchant <

I think it fails because "the rule currently not assigned a number called "Rewards"," just doesn't exist anymore. I think it would fail similarly to how something like "In the rule called 'Cuddlebeam is amazing', add: yadda yadda" would also fail, because such a rule just doesn't exist. On Fri,
