Ok, understanding the concept: "The Treasuror CAN plan the flip by announcement, SHOULD do so once per week, and MUST do so least once per month" makes perfect sense to me, and I think is fine for gameplay. The first draft doesn't carry across that intent though (to me anyway!), I think dropping the Weekly Duties part and the whole "can and may more than once a week... but should not" clause would streamline it without losing functionality. -G.
