Well, it's unclear to me if a judge would say "that office works just like
you would expect except the ADoP doesn't have to track it" or "contracts
can't do that, so those clauses are void". IMO it's just worth a little
precaution with an easily-added clause (eg. when contracts didn't have mint
authority, we used to use "a Qurrency is the same as a currency but just for
the contract" or something specific like that).

I believe that under long-standing contract construction rules, contracts
can pretend that they can do rule things even if the rules don’t think so.
The effect is that the contract behaves as closely as possible to the way
in which it would were it a rule.

We must ensure that the Ritual is appeased. I therefore humbly submit to
the Agoran public this proto contract:
///
This contract is to be known as The Church of The Ritual. Parties to the
contract are the faithful; nonparties are heathens. A player can become
faithful by announcement upon transferring 5 coins to the Church; a player
can become heathen by announcement.
The priest and the heretic are imposed offices. The player who first
performs The Ritual in any given Agoran week becomes the priest (if
faithful) or the heretic (if a heathen). At the start of each Agoran week,
the offices of priest and heretic are made vacant.
The faithful MUST prevent all players from becoming the heretic; failure
to do so is the crime of Abetting Heresy.
The heretic MUST be shunned. The priest SHOULD be treated right good.
Upon being installed in the office of priest, a faithful CAN once cause
the Church to transfer to em 5 coins.
If the Church has fewer than 10 coins, any faithful CAN once call a
collection by announcement. When a collection is called, the faithful MUST
in a timely fashion transfer to the Church a sum of coins equal to 5 / X,
rounded up to the nearest coin, where X is the number of faithful.
