Mark and contract changes

We're pleased to announce an overhaul to the way contracts are handled in the Ivory and Quisalis Marks! Gone are the days of random distribution to any member of the organisation - now all contracts will be placed on a board inside their Mark headquarters.
For adventurers putting out contracts
-------------------------------------
* Adventurers placing contracts will now arrange for the deed to be done through a contract broker. A cowled figure has taken up residence in the bar of each of the cities, as well as in the Brass Lantern Inn.
* Contracts are now more resilient! In the event of a Mark member taking the contract and going dormant, it will be returned to the board for reallocation.
* If the contract target goes dormant, a contract will automatically complete after a certain amount of time, granting the customer the experience reward.
For Assassins and Champions
---------------------------
* As mentioned above, contracts are now placed on a board in the Ivory and Quisalis Mark headquarters. An alert will be sent to all online members shortly after a new contract is placed. Simply head to the board and CONTRACT CLAIM <#>.
* Contract parties are relatively anonymous (both payer and target information being limited to their city affiliation) until claimed.
* Assassins and Champions can claim one contract per 24 hours (24 Achaean days), but if they successfully complete a contract, this time limit is reset.
* Mark rankings have been reset.
* Order writs, when yielded to the system, will be placed on the board as normal. They will have a 24 hour exclusivity window (only visible to members of that order) before becoming available to the entire organisation. Order writs no longer increase rankings within the Marks.
* Mark members who fail too many contracts will be removed from the Mark, and be unable to join again for 5 Achaean years.
* Mark members who fail to take a contract in 3 Achaean years will be removed from the Mark and unable to join again for 1 IG year.
* The cost to join either Mark has increased to 20,000 gold.
