I'm not sure that this is viable for most game companies, but I
presume that Skotos may reach a point where we can charge a "deposit"
to play certain more role-playing centric games, and that if you don't
follow the rules, you loose the deposit. Otherwise, the deposit will
be refunded after a certain period of time for good behavior.

Or, equally possible, if someone had been banned but wanted a second
chance, asking for such a deposit.
