Note that we already have a rule defining how to perform an action which is to be performed asap. I don't really like that rule and I'd prefer your version, but you should probably revise the existing rule rather than create another definition.

The purchase value of 3 Objects might actually be quite high, if the player happens to own some expansive objects. Also three objects is quite a lot, since the Sacker will probably select the 3 most valuable objects. If someone for example has all three stamps, that would be 180 points, far more than 30% of one's points would ever be (180 = 0.3 * 600, so you'd need 600 points to get an equal punishment in points).

I don't like this. It means the first one to make a Motion to Sack will receive the penalty, and others receive nothing.

This might cause a flood of Motions to Sack, simply because people want to get the points that they'll get if it succeeds. And there isn't any penalty for unsuccessfully trying to sack someone.
