Given the larger number of players, yeah, 4a's rotation should probably happen 3 times (with special cases if there are less than 6 Farmers). >> c) Planter is a role.

Okay, 4c should be cleaned up, 4d should be "When it comes into play", the others are intended to allow repetition. >> 5) Equity: >> >> a) Upon a judicial finding that a proposal or CFJ was created >> for the clear and primary purpose of Harvesting the ID number >> assigned to it, the VPoA CAN and SHALL adjust the holdings of >> assets backed by this contest as specified by that finding, or >> otherwise as e sees fit.

A clause here to ensure three roles a week would be good. Covered by "without repetition" in 4b. Also, I missed defining a bonus for each role; starts at zero, increases by one each time the role goes unselected, pays out in Flax and resets when the role does get selected, also resets when the contest is won.
