"may" needs to be "CAN". > > As permitted by the rules and the contract's body, a contest may > pay a fee of N candles to cause a specified player to gain N > radiance. "may" needs to be "CAN" here too, but I'm not sure this works even with that; the definition of fee-based actions in R2579 requires the entity performing the action to "announce" it, and contests can't announce anything. So I think R2579 would need to be patched to allow this. > Create a rule entitled "Contests" with power 1.5 reading: > > Contestation is a secured negative boolean contract switch > tracked by the Notary.
