In fact, the more that I think about this, the more that this interpretation seems necessary. As I've maintained previously, Agora's obligation to a contract is to adjudicate it, not to accept its internal definitions and provisions as part of the game state. Regardless of any legal fictions the Fookiemyartug may establish for itself, it was not a partnership at the time it attempted to register. -root
