I'm currently working on that unified contracts/orgs/agencies
implementation I was talking about. I want non-player persons to be
able to join contracts, which necessitates some penalty for breaches.
This would also incidentally also fix that thing where G. couldn't be
punished for publishing a false report because e wasn't a player. To
understand what is meant by "persons who play the game" see CFJ 1709.
Of course, most existing punishments are meaningless for non-players,
so I had to come up with something. This proposal adds a new card,
called a Black Card, which, upon activation, prevents the bad sport
from registering or taking any game actions for 30 days.
Additionally, I feel that with the addition of contracts some
fine/disgorgement mechanism is needed. To this end, I have created a
new card type, know as a Blue Card. A blue card represents a fine in
shines, and whoever awards the card can direct that the money either
go to the player(s) harmed or to Agora.

A Blue Card is a type of Card that is appropriate for deliberate or negligent
infractions either where the the player responsible profited from violating
the rules or where e significantly harmed another person or the game

Levied upon the bad sport, e SHALL endeavor in good faith to pay the fine
to Agora or the correct player(s), in accordance with the distribution laid
out by the carder. Any player CAN also act on the bad sport's behalf to do so,
fulfilling eir obligation.
