Reenact rule 2166, Assets (Power = 2), with the following text: An asset is an entity defined as such by a rule (hereafter its backing document), and existing solely because its backing document defines its existence.
Each asset has exactly one owner. If an asset would otherwise lack an owner, it is owned by the Lost and Found Department. If an asset's backing document restricts its ownership to a class of entities, then that asset CANNOT be gained by or transferred to an entity outside that class, and is destroyed if it is owned by an entity outside that class (except for the Lost and Found Department, in which case any player CAN transfer or destroy it without objection). The recordkeepor of a class of assets is the entity (if any) defined as such by, and bound by, its backing document. That entity's report includes a list of all instances of that class and their owners. This portion of that entity's report is self-ratifying. An asset generally CAN be destroyed by its owner by announcement, and an asset owned by the Lost and Found Department generally CAN be destroyed by its recordkeepor by announcement, subject to modification by its backing document. To "lose" an asset is to have it destroyed from one's possession; to "revoke" an asset from an entity is to destroy it from that entity's possession. An asset generally CAN be transferred (syn. payed) by its owner to another entity by announcement, subject to modification by its backing document. A fixed asset is one defined as such by its backing document, and CANNOT be transferred; any other asset is liquid. A currency is a class of asset defined as such by its backing document. Instances of a currency with the same owner are fungible. The "x balance of an entity", where x is a currency, is the number of x that entity possesses. If a rule or proposal attempts to increase or decrease the balance of an entity without specifying a source or destination, then the currency is created or destroyed. Where it resolves ambiguity "Balance", without any currency modifiers, refers to an entity's balance of whichever currency is designated as "Agora's official currency", if there is one. Assets are always public. [To provide for private contract based assets later.] Change the rule "Economics" to read in full: Shinies (sg. shiny) are a liquid currency, and the official currency of Agora. They may be owned by Agora, any player, or any organization. The Secretary is the recordkeepor for Shinies. The Secretary CAN cause Agora to pay any player or organization by announcement if doing so is specified by a rule. Amend Rule 2459, Organizations, by adding as a paragraph at the end: A member of an Organization can perform any action the rules authorize that Organization to perform, if the Organization's charter states that doing so is Appropriate.
