I'm afraid there are no hidden motives to Ducks & Platypuses. ehird proposed (in #ircnomic) creating an agreement which would put em into an inescapable violation of the Rules. I suggested that, while e might leave the contract without objection if it were a pledge (e might reasonably be expected to get no objections), if I were a party who would infringe upon the contract by leaving it, e could not reasonably expect me to agree to dissolving the contract and e really would have no mechanism of leaving the contract. At this point I was under the impression that I would not be violating the proposed contract by remaining in it. When I realized that that would not be the case: [08:26:59] ehird: about to send to agora-business with subject 'Ducks & platypuses' unless any objections in 10 [08:27:00] comex: wait [08:27:01] ehird: 9 [08:27:03] ehird: 8 [08:27:04] comex: I just realized [08:27:05] ehird: 7 [08:27:07] ehird: comex: what [08:27:07] comex: that would make me in violation too :( [08:27:13] ehird: comex: yeah well [08:27:15] ehird: gotta roll with it [08:27:20] comex: oh, fine [08:27:21] ehird: you said you'd join [08:27:23] ehird: gonna back out? [08:27:25] comex: I blame you if I get exiled [08:27:27] ehird: sure This has nothing to do with Duality. Considering that ehird was a new player and I am not, it should be preferrable to punish me rather than ehird. (Although I will indeed blame him if I am exiled or fishslapped.) Of note, there is still no good way for us to destroy the contract.
