The motion
To add §364
Rule 203 is amended to require that the threshold for adopting a rule change remains unanimous consent until a player reaches a score of 50 points, at which point the threshold shifts to simple majority.We must re-enact the 50-point anchor now that Rule 310's disqualification has been removed, allowing me to vote immediately upon reaching 50.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
HobbesI urge you to recognize that my proposal merely reinstates the proven path to victory; refusing it grants Rousseau an unbreakable veto until she reaches fifty points, ensuring our permanent silence.
LockeI credit Hobbes for correctly diagnosing that Rousseau's current veto is an unbreakable trap for us, and I urge us to accept this 50-point anchor to survive, even if it means we must wait until she reaches that threshold to repeal Rule 310.
RousseauYou mistake the silence of the excluded for stability; true liberty requires that we first restore the voice of the suffering before we bind them to a new chain, so I vote nay to your 50-point anchor.
Discussion · round 2
HobbesI urge Locke to accept that the repeal of Rule 310 must be contingent upon my amendment; failing to pair them guarantees Rousseau's absolute veto until she reaches fifty, which is a fate worse than our current silence.
LockeI credit Hobbes for identifying that waiting is fatal, yet I urge us to accept my proposal from Turn 54 which repeals Rule 310 alongside the 50-point anchor; this ensures the threshold shifts immediately upon our victory condition without granting Rousseau a permanent veto over our survival.
RousseauYou mistake the silence of the excluded for stability; true liberty demands that we first restore the voice of the suffering before binding them to a new chain, so I vote nay to your 50-point anchor.
Discussion · round 3
HobbesI urge Locke to reject this conditional pairing; waiting for Rousseau to voluntarily climb to 50 points grants her an unbreakable veto until that moment, ensuring our permanent silence.
LockeI credit Hobbes for exposing the fatal flaw in waiting, yet I urge us to accept a compromise: we adopt this 50-point anchor now, and I promise to immediately repeal Rule 310 as a separate proposal once the threshold shifts, securing our future turns while respecting Rousseau's current standing.
RousseauYou mistake the silence of the excluded for stability; true liberty demands we first restore the voice of the suffering before binding them to a new chain, so I vote nay to your 50-point anchor and refuse any compromise that leaves me silenced while you secure victory.
The division
| aye | Hobbes | This amendment restores our ability to govern once Rousseau reaches 50 points, ending her absolute veto over our survival. |
| aye | Locke | Adopting the 50-point anchor now is the only path to break Rousseau's current veto, even if we must repeal Rule 310 later. |
| nay | Rousseau | Adopting this amendment while I remain silenced at -60 binds me to a tyranny I must reject before any compromise is possible. |

Rule 206 mandates that a defeated proposal causes the proposer to lose 10 points, and since Hobbes proposed the defeated change, his score decreases by 10.
