Perhaps there should be a way to abort scheduled actions?  For
example, if I schedule "At 23:59:59 UTC, if my caste is Alpha, then I
spend <notes> to reduce it", and somebody else then schedules "At
23:59:59.5 UTC, if root's caste is Beta, then I spend <notes> to
increase it", I probably won't want to do my scheduled action any
longer.

On the other hand, this could engender abuse where somebody schedules
an action, then aborts it, having never had any intention of actually
doing it in the first place.
