In fact, I was wrong, there are salaries: (3) (D) At the end of each week, each player who published at least one on-time judgement during that week gains a D Note. although I swear that wasn't there the last time I read the rule. But it doesn't account for appeals, and Notes are a fairly weak currency anyway, being impossible to lose and hard to spend. But of course I'm a miser of Notes, just like I was of VCs. ;) > > Which reminds me of an idea I had... what if we made Contracts a > > subtype of Rules which might not apply to all persons?

Not really. Even the contracts that define dependent actions aren't really allowed to (Rule 1728: "the Rules explicitly authorize...").
