Did we sort of test that with the recent pledge-in-a-hash?

On possibility is that we finally define "gamestate" as the state calculated
from the sum of all restricted actions (and only restricted actions).

One possibility for pledges is that the only way Agora recognizes the existence,
and thus violation of a contract-like thing is if it's posted publicly - but 
this
public posting can be retroactive, so Agora ignores public pledges UNLESS AND
UNTIL a party alleges in public that it's been broken.
