The motivation to have things be recognized was so we would always know 
(more or less) what the game state was---that is to say, things wouldn't 
just keep happening without anyone noticing. For actions that require some 
input by the Officer in charge of recognizing them, I still think this is a 
good way to go. E.g., I think it works ok for Proposals and Motions, since 
they need to be assigned numbers for reference. I still think it should 
work with point awards, just that we might want to streamline the operation 
a little, maybe by combining the Tax Collector and the Banker into the 
Treasurer, or something like that, and to introduce a little more order 
into Bank transactions, stipulate that the Bank conducts its business only 
once per nweek, say a reasonable amount of time following the publishing of 
voting results or something like that.
