If the newly minted permission to transfer Assets were limited to fixed Currencies created for that purpose, and didn't also apply to the Asset being auctioned without respect for other rules, then this might be a convincing argument. Or if this Rule at the very least explicitly deferred to other rules that explicitly limit the transfer of Assets, or restrict ownership of an Asset to specific entities or classes of entities. > Since no rules actually permit anyone to start an auction right now, > and explicit rules permission is needed to start a particular type > of auction, that's where it would be controlled (e.g. don't vote for > a proposal that would allow a specific auction of something you want > to stay fixed). With Chamber and VVLOP Rules, we may not have the necessary influence to block such a Rule in the future, particularly if it seems sufficiently innocuous that other Players do not feel endangered. This structure makes such a scam quite possible. --Wes
