DISTRIBUTION: The auctioneer for an auction CAN and SHALL, within

that contains a full history of bids on the auction and
withdrawals from the auction. It must also clearly indicate each
awardee and the lot e recieves. In this message, the auctioneer
CAN and SHALL destroy the amount to be paid from the inventory
each awardee and transfer to that player (or create in eir
possession if the item is new) the set of assets associated with
the lot e won. Failing to publish a distribution message
constitutes the Class 3 Crime of Auction Abandonment.
Can an auction regulation give the auctioneer the power to destroy
assets, as this text purports to do?
As far as I can tell the only power this regulation has is that it adds
some definitions. R2565 grants the auctioneer the power to "transfer
said items as necessary..." but I think that's referring to the goods
being auctioned off.
It is quite possible that this does not work; however, if it does the
best rebuttal is found in R2545¶4:
The Treasuror is the promulgator for regulations that define
specific auction methods (i.e. "the default auction method") and
SHOULD do in order to aid trade and commerce. *For the purposes of
interpreting auction definitions, such methods are treated as if
they are defined in this rule.*
As the section on distribution authorizes the auctioneer to destroy the
assets and it is considered part of Rule 2545.
