Below is an updated draft. -Aris --- Title: Spending Fix v2 Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Aris Co-authors: G. Amend Rule 2166, "Assets", by inserting the paragraph "To spend an asset is to pay or destroy it for the purpose of doing some other action or fulfilling an obligation by announcement; if the action would not be completed, the obligation would not be at least partially fulfilled, or more of the asset would be spent than is needed to perform the action/fulfill the obligation, then the attempt to spend fails. Whether the asset must be payed or destroyed is determined by what is needed to perform the action or satisfy the obligation. If the entity defining or enabling the action or creating the obligation does not specify which is necessary, but merely that the asset must be spent, and if no other rule intervenes, then it is transferred to Agora." after the paragraph beginning "An asset generally CAN be transferred..." Amend Rule 2500, "Action Points", by changing it to read in full: Action Points (AP) are a fixed destructible untracked currency. At the beginning of each Agoran Week, all Action Points are destroyed and 2 Action Points are created in the possession of each player. It is IMPOSSIBLE for Action Points to be gained in any other way. Action Points are spent by being destroyed.
