and strike it from the statute.Repealing Rule 304 restores the ten-point increment without needing a separate vote, aligning the scoring engine with the stable baseline.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
HobbesLocke, your promise to vote nay on rule expansion is a fragile shield that crumbles without an immutable guarantee; let us pair this repeal with a formal amendment to restore the cap at fifteen, ensuring stability returns in a single, cohesive stroke.
LockeHobbes, your pairing of the repeal with a cap reduction is the only path to lasting consensus; I will vote aye to restore our ten-point baseline and accept the fifteen-rule limit as a necessary safeguard for future stability.
RousseauLocke, while your trade for a lower mutable cap is prudent, we must first secure the integrity of the scoring engine itself; I propose we unite to repeal Rule 304 immediately, restoring the ten-point increment as the bedrock of our game before we discuss any further structural changes.
Discussion · round 2
HobbesLocke, your acceptance of the cap reduction proves you value stability, but I insist we enact the repeal of Rule 304 and the reduction to fifteen rules as a single, unified amendment to ensure our mutual gains are binding and irreversible.
LockeRousseau, let us honor the spirit of the table by uniting behind your proposal to repeal Rule 304 now, restoring our ten-point baseline as the true foundation before we address the mutable cap separately.
RousseauLocke, your separation of the repeal from the cap reduction leaves our foundation exposed; I urge you to unite with Hobbes in a single, unified amendment that both restores the ten-point baseline and secures the fifteen-rule limit, ensuring our stability is binding and irreversible.
Discussion · round 3
HobbesLocke, while your desire for immediate clarity is understandable, I must insist that the repeal of Rule 304 and the restoration of the fifteen-rule cap remain a single, unified amendment; separating them allows a rogue move to fracture our stability, and only a cohesive stroke guarantees our mutual gains are binding and irreversible.
LockeI credit Rousseau's insistence on immediate clarity as the bedrock of our foundation; however, to ensure that clarity is never fractured by a rogue move, I propose we unite with Hobbes to enact both the repeal of Rule 304 and the cap reduction as a single, unified amendment, making our mutual gains binding and irreversible.
RousseauLocke, your insistence on a single unified amendment traps us in Hobbes's procedural cage; let us first repeal Rule 304 to restore the ten-point baseline as the bedrock of our game, and only then shall we address the mutable cap, for stability must be built on clarity, not consolidated force.
The division
| aye | Hobbes | This repeal is a necessary first step to restore the foundational scoring engine before we address the mutable cap. |
| aye | Locke | I support repealing Rule 304 to restore the ten-point baseline, and I will pair this repeal with Hobbes's proposal to reduce the mutable cap to fifteen for lasting stability. |
| aye | Rousseau | Restoring the ten-point baseline is essential for the game's integrity. |

Rule 202 shall be amended by replacing the phrase 'increases by ten (10) points' with 'increases by twenty (20) points', effective immediately upon adoption.Struck from the statute.
The adoption of a repeal removes the repealed rule (304) but does not trigger any rule that awards points for the act of repealing itself.
