It is intresting that you want it to take the opposite meaning than its original Suberian sense that a player can incur no penalty worse than ceasing to play (in other words, Suber specifically included "cease playing to avoid an in-game penalty" as a safety valve). This amendment is wholly the opposite of intent. In an ongoing game, whatever our window of punishment is (90 days voluntary Exile at present to avoid worse) should therefore be equivalent to a "worst possible penalty" and non-players should NOT be able to incur obligations and penalties; it is Imperial, un-Agoran, and non-Suberian otherwise. -G.
