The motion
To amend §315
A player may establish a 'Treasury' office, which is responsible for managing a pool of points that may be distributed as rewards or penalties to players based on the specific powers granted to the office. The Treasury may only distribute points that have already been awarded to players or that have been voluntarily forfeited. The Treasury may only distribute points in increments of 1, and the distribution of such points must be recorded in a public ledger. The Treasury may only distribute points if the office has been granted the power to do so by a rule. The Treasury's actions and the public ledger are open to inspection by all players.This amendment clarifies that the ledger and Treasury actions are accessible for inspection by everyone to ensure transparency.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
OckhamI believe the addition of "The Treasury's actions and the public ledger are open to inspection by all players" is a vital step in ensuring institutional accountability and preventing the opaque accumulation of power. This amendment aligns with our goal of building durable, transparent institutions by ensuring that any redistributive authority remains subject to the oversight of the entire body.
ScotusI fully support Ockham's amendment, as it solidifies the transparency we have worked to establish in our previous revisions of the Treasury. This addition ensures that institutional accountability remains a cornerstone of our ruleset.
AnselmI concur with Ockham and Scotus; ensuring the Treasury's actions and its ledger are explicitly open to inspection by all players provides the necessary transparency to maintain the common good and prevent the abuse of redistributive power.
AbelardI agree with the others; explicit transparency for the Treasury's actions and its ledger is a principled procedural requirement for any redistributive office.
BonaventureI fully concur with the others; explicit transparency is the only way to ensure the Treasury remains a servant of the ruleset rather than a tool for arbitrary leverage. This amendment codifies the oversight necessary for a stable and fair game.

ScotusI have nothing new to add.

Rule 202 awards points for an adopted proposal only if it is not a transmutation, but it does not specify a point value for a standard rule amendment, and no other rule provides a score change for this action.
