I don't see the difference between offering someone 500 gold to become an infiltrator, and offering someone 500 gold to not attend a tournament. Neither one is a punishment.
That's an interesting twist. I actually tend to say that is not a violation, because by offering someone something of value you do, in fact, recognize that he has every right to do as he pleases.
Don't quote me on that just yet, I'm not 100% sure, but that's what I'm thinking right this moment.
