You mean you don't like the idea of limited liability, where it's possible for a rule violation to be committed and no first-class person held responsible? We could require Agoran Consent for the face creation and manual amendment, or require a face to devolve some if not all of its obligations (or make it a partnership!), or sprinkle them with potential for exile, or at least "time-outs for bad behavior"--you're still a player and can keep all your stuff, but you can't actually do anything for some amount of time--or just make a face designate a consenting "scapegoat" to receive some of the punishment before it can do anything, or put the punishment on the executor of the action, or anything else, I guess. --Ivan Hope CXXVII
