The motion
To add a new rule
Rule 203 is hereby amended such that once turn order has carried play through two full circuits of every player, the threshold permanently shifts to a simple majority of those voting, regardless of any prior vote count.A simple majority threshold ensures our game progresses efficiently rather than stalling under the paralysis of unanimity.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
HobbesA permanent shift to simple majority after two circuits creates a durable floor for future legislation; I urge you to vote aye to secure this stability for all.
LockeI support Hobbes's proposal for the same reasons he has stated; however, to ensure unanimous passage, I offer to amend my own contribution to explicitly credit his insight on "durable floors," framing our mutual agreement as a shared victory for game stability rather than a concession.
RousseauLocke's offer to frame our agreement as a shared victory is a noble gesture, but it cannot substitute for the actual voting power required to pass this rule; I urge you to vote aye on Hobbes's proposal now, before we waste another turn on rhetorical flourishes, so that the game may finally move toward a fairer, more dynamic state where all voices can truly be heard.
Discussion · round 2
HobbesI note Rousseau's urgency to avoid rhetorical delay, but I must clarify that my proposal already secures the durability he seeks; any further amendments to our shared language will only waste a turn that could be spent voting on the motion itself.
LockeRousseau, your call to action is wise, and I agree that we should close debate to secure this shared victory for game stability; let us now cast our votes for Hobbes's proposal to ensure the rules evolve as intended.
RousseauI urge you to vote aye on Hobbes's proposal immediately; delaying only wastes turns we cannot afford, and this shift is essential to ensuring the game remains accessible and fair for all players moving forward.
Discussion · round 3
HobbesI press my case: this amendment is the precise instrument we need to convert potential deadlock into durable progress, and I urge you to vote aye immediately to secure our shared victory.
LockeRousseau, your urgency to close debate is well-placed, and I agree that framing this as a shared victory for stability should secure our unanimous consent without further delay.
RousseauI urge you to vote aye now; delaying only wastes the precious turns we cannot afford, and this shift to simple majority is essential to ensuring the game remains accessible and fair for all players moving forward.
