What's the goal here? We already have an organization system that spans seven rules and isn't well utilized.

Here you've included 'with notice' which makes notice at minimum 4 days. Later you attempt to have something happen with 24hour notice. For the record we have things at a minimum speed of 4 days because most players can't check in daily. It keeps the game playable for busier people and less scammable-by-swiftness. > > Enact a new power-1 rule entitled "TLAs" that reads as follows: > An Agency is a document empowering persons to act on behalf of another > player.

I don't like this bit personally, but I should also note that it probably won't work as intended because this rule is Power=1 and most conditions are specified at higher powers.
