think the only actions that succeeded here were:

Ugh, I think I attempted this a day before I could. If the above intent

ASaAA Sessions

By default, the ASaAA is in an Open Session.

During an Open Session, any member may pay the ASaAA any number of
shinies to receive the same number of ASaAA Proxies.

During an Open Session, any player may transfer one Stamp to the ASaAA

Voting Session begins, and the player who did so becomes the current

During an ASaAA Voting Session, each member may vote for any player(s)
except for the current Patron any number of times and in any combination
as long as eir total votes do not exceed eir current number of Proxies.
Members cannot withdraw votes, but they need not cast all votes at once,
or at all.

An ASaAA Voting Session ends after 3 days or after every vote is cast,
whichever occurs first. When an ASaAA Voting Session has ended, any
member may, on behalf of the ASaAA, transfer any Stamp the ASaAA has to
the member who received the most votes, by announcement. Once a Stamp
has been successfully transfered, all persons have 0 Proxies and a new
Open Session begins.

"CoE": I don't believe there's any mechanism within the rules that
allows Organizations to transfer Shinies to players.

I spend an action point, if it is possible for me to do so, to call for 
judgement on the following statement:

Nichdel has 1 Stamp (nichdel) and 9 Shinies.

Caller’s arguments:

The core of this CFJ is a transaction nichdel performed immediately prior to 
the passage of proposal 7867:

On Jul 29, 2017, at 7:12 PM, Nic Evans  wrote:

> I transfer 7 shinies to ASaAA.


(Re: BUS: Transfer)

However, according to my records, at this time nichdel had a balance of 2 
Shinies. Per rule 2483 (“Economics”) in effect at that time:

> Any player CAN pay Agora, any other player, or any organization any amount by 
> announcement, unless it would make eir own balance negative. Any attempt to

Paying 7 Shinies with a balance of 2 Shinies would make nichdel’s balance -5 
Shinies, and therefore the payment is ineffective.

No other payments have ever been made to ASaAA, so its balance was, and 
remained, zero.

Subsequently, proposal 7867 passed, which zeroed all players’ balances, and 
reset Agora’s balance to 1,000 Shinies. (Organization balances were not 
affected, a fact which appears to have been intentional in hindsight.)

Afterwards, after some minor paperwork cleanup, nichdel performed the following 
trivially-successful transactions, quoted above:

* Received 50 shinies from Agora via a Welcome Package (nichdel: 50 sh)
* Paid 40 shinies to Agora to create 1 stamp in eir own possession (nichdel: 10 
sh, 1 stamp)
* Paid 1 shiny to ASaAA (nichdel: 9 sh, 1 stamp; ASaAA: 1 sh)

Finally, e attempted to have ASaAA pay em 8 shinies in exchange for a stamp. E 
noted this as a single transaction. Since ASaAA does not have 8 Shinies, by 
rule 2483:

> Any organization CAN pay Agora, any player, or any other organization by 
> announcement by a member of said organization, as specified in the charter of

> Any attempt by any player to cause an organization to pay any amount that

This payment cannot succeed, and therefore neither can the transaction it is 
part of.
