Careful on terminology here! BobTHJ may be thinking of Agoran Contracts. The Pineapple Partnership is an Agreement (R1742) which any group of players can make without proposal. An Agoran Contract (Rule 2109) needs a proposal. The generic term "contract" is not defined in the rules, and so it's ambiguous whether it is a synonym for "agreement" or shorthand for "Agoran Contract." There's already an issue here: the new Contests rule (R2136) could mean either type, with differing consequences on how a judge interprets it. -Goethe
