Hate to nitpick another player Maxine but, I do believe baked into every ship contract is a clause that says repairs must be made otherwise shares will be sold off: Each share also requires the holder to pay 1/10th of any costs incurred in the regular operation of the vessel (eg repairs), failure to pay resulting in shares being seized and auctioned, with proceeds paid out to remaining shareholders.
There are two levels of repairs, which each incur a different cost. No where does it say we have to make a full repair or a partial repair, or any repair, by default. If I felt like being generous, I'd argue we are obligated to get her seaworthy, so she can keep running, but it goes no further than that.
Repairs are mentioned by name as one of the things you have to do. But I guess we can take a vote:
This is a proposal to amend the current contract with the following addendum:
"Shareholders of Crazy Aywen shall be automatically charged full repair costs (unless they choose to fail to pay.) Full repairs may be substituted for partial or no repairs by a majority vote of shareholders."
In order for proposal to pass we need a unanimous vote (as per contract):
-Aywen Ayes votes Yes
-Monkey Corp
-Fairchild Enterprises
-Wares-To-Sell Corp
To be clear, no, repairs are not mentioned by name as something you have to do. The
cost of repairs are mentioned by name as one of the things you have to pay your share of. Which necessitated determining the cost we will be paying, deciding on what level of repairs to get. As for the amendment, it will suffice, I'd prefer partial as the default, but I don't have the patience to draw this out to see if you bite.

While we can discuss amendments to clarify this, I would argue that "any costs incurred" covers full repair costs. Especially since repairs is the only example given. It doesn't explicitly say "full repair costs", but it also doesn't explicitly say other things, like what form a share auction should take or whether players can trade shares (or whether a dog can play basketball).
That being said, as mentioned I'd be fine with adding a clarifying amendment if it puts your mind at ease.
I'd argue you only
want to see it that way because it is more convenient. But sure, putting it aside. I found the above amendment from Awyen agreeable enough, feel free to come up with your own or modify it if you prefer.
Oh, perhaps we should look into amending those other gaps at some point. What if we encounter the mythical basketball playing dog at sea?
