Oops, I forgot to remove the "by unconditional announcement"
definition. There are probably many other errors, but here's an update
that fixes that one:

Enact a new power-0.5 rule titled "Clairvoyant Roshambo", with the
following text.
At every time, the Roshambo Wheel is set to exactly one of Rock,
Paper or Scissors. When the Rules do not say that its value
changes, it stays the same. If it would otherwise not be set to a
value, it is set to Rock.
Whenever a player has not done so in the past 4 days, e CAN
Commune with the Wheel by announcement, specifying Rock, Paper or
Scissors. A player CAN Reach into the Past by announcement at any
time. If a player Communes the Wheel at a time T, and does not
Reach into the Past in the four days following T, then at time T
the value of the Roshambo Wheel is changed to the value e
specified.
Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beats Paper, and Paper beats Rock.
Roshambo Score is an integer player switch. Once per Agoran week,
each player CAN Play Roshambo by announcement, specifying Rock,
Paper or Scissors, but only if e has not Communed with the Wheel
in the past 4 days. When e does so:
* If e specifies a value that beats the current value of the
Roshambo Wheel, then 4 days later, eir Roshambo Score is
increased by 1.
* If e specifies a value that is beaten by the current value of
the Roshambo Wheel, then 4 days later, eir Roshambo Score is
decreased by 1.
The Medium is an office, and the recordkeepor of Roshambo Score.
A player with a Roshambo Score of at least 10 CAN Transcend Time
by announcement. When e does so, e wins the game, and all
instances of the Roshambo Score switch are flipped to 0.
