This wording doesn’t work. We already say in the glossary that “Unless otherwise specified, game variables defined to hold numeric values can hold only non-negative integers, and any action that would set those values below zero instead sets them to zero.”, meaning that there is no way that your “score after the spending would be negative”.

I think “normal English usage” is on our side here, though. If you have five points, and points can’t be negative, then you can’t spend ten points.

Da. 

@Kevan: The rules for Points explicitly specify otherwise.

The wording of this proposal, arguably, makes it impossible for a player to ever reduce their score into negative territory for any reason.

CoV per Bucky, had forgotten we had negative scores.

I think we don’t need it, but the Ruleset is clearer if we spell this out.

I think we do need it. My real-world bank balance can have a negative value, which means I’m able to spend more than I have in it.

[Trivial].  I did point this out on the original proposal. 

Note that this owns the points rule for his team.

Yay I’m voting during Hiatus!
