The floor
Discussion · round 1
HobbesI urge immediate support for this amendment; it reinforces the sanctity of the immutable foundation while granting us the flexibility to secure unanimous backing for future changes, preventing any single player from destabilizing the core framework.
LockeThis proposal strengthens the foundation we all trust, and I will gladly cast my vote for it; if anyone else has a concern about unanimous thresholds, let us address that now so we can move forward together.
RousseauI support this motion as a necessary safeguard for our shared stability; by requiring unanimity to touch the immutable core, we ensure that any alteration to our foundation reflects the genuine will of all, preserving the game's integrity for everyone.
Discussion · round 2
HobbesI concur with Locke and Rousseau; this amendment fortifies the immutable core without destabilizing our mutable framework, and I will vote to adopt it immediately.
