I was using NoVs as a 'template' of sorts for audits. However, your "with notice" idea may be a cleaner method. My intent was that an audited player would have 3 days to get their hand back to the correct size or face penalty (rests if they are active and chose to ignore the audit, or destruction if they are inactive and unable to respond). However, to give the audited player some control they can close the audit themselves at the time of their choosing before those 3 days elapse. "with notice" wouldn't allow this, and thus the player initiating the audit would have control over when to perform the audit action and could (at the last minute) transfer a bunch of cards to the audited player to inflate their penalty. Hmm...maybe it would work if it read "A person CAN (with restrictions) audit an entity with 4 days notice unless the entity has been audited during that time. An entity CAN audit emself by announcement." > > > Also, why "rule-defined"?

A contract could define its own cards and then deal large quantities of them to players causing them to exceed their hand limit. BobTHJ
