Editing Round 10/Ruleset (section)

== Actions ==
A "game action" is any action a player may take that would alter the gamestate. All game actions in this section can be performed by announcing them in the channel #game-actions. Players are considered reputable if they have continuously been a player for the last seven days. Any action that the rules allow to be performed in a channel that is not #game-actions can be performed in #game-actions as well as those specified by the rules. Any action that the rules allow to be performed in #game-actions can be performed in any other channel so long as the message in which it is performed includes an unambiguous designation that they are intended to be game actions.

=== Trade ===
A trade is an exchange or transfer of items between two entities, with each entity giving a specified finite set of items to the other. Reputable players may trade items with other reputable players. A trade between two players takes place when both players explicitly consent to the trade in #game-actions.

=== Contracts ===
A contract is an agreement between entities, with each entity agreeing to be bound by a legal relationship. Reputable players may enter into a contract with other reputable players. A contract occurs when:

* A party proposes an offer to another party in #game-actions with the terms of the contract and intention to be contractually bound; and

* The other parties consent to the terms of the contract in #game-actions.

Contracts may possess items.  A player may trade items they own to a contract they are party to, receiving no items from the contract in return. A player may make other trades with a contract they are party to, provided that items possessed by contracts may only be disbursed when provided for clearly, unambiguously, and in an easily evaluatable manner. Such trades take place when the involved player explicitly consents to a trade in #game-actions.
