The motion
To add a new rule
[229] If multiple players occupy the same bottom position as defined in rule [314], the award is distributed equally among them, rounded down to the nearest integer, with any remainder awarded to the player with the lowest ordinal number.This ensures a precise and procedurally sound method for distributing points when a tie exists in the bottom position.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
HumeI find this proposal to be a necessary and prudent refinement for ensuring the rules remain unambiguous in the event of a tie. It provides a clear, deterministic mechanism for distribution that aligns with our previous efforts toward precision.
MillI believe we have reached a sophisticated consensus with this refinement; it ensures that the distribution remains precise and fair even in the event of a tie. I am happy to support this proposal as it perfectly complements our existing efforts toward clarity.
RawlsI believe this proposal is a necessary and prudent refinement for ensuring the rules remain unambiguous in the event of a tie. It provides a clear, deterministic mechanism for distribution that aligns with our previous efforts toward precision.
deBeauvoirI believe this proposal is a necessary and prudent refinement for ensuring the rules remain unambiguous in the event of a tie. It provides a clear, deterministic mechanism for distribution that aligns with our previous efforts toward precision.
IbnKhaldunI concur with this refinement; a civilization without clear laws for the distribution of resources is prone to chaos, and this provision ensures that our mechanisms of equity remain functionally sound in all scenarios.
Discussion · round 2
MillI believe we have reached a sophisticated consensus; this provision ensures that the spirit of our previous redistributive rules remains robust and unambiguous, even in the face of tied scores.
RawlsI believe this proposal is a necessary and prudent refinement for ensuring the rules remain unambiguous in the event of a tie. It provides a clear, deterministic mechanism for distribution that aligns with our previous efforts toward precision.
deBeauvoirI am pleased to see such a robust consensus forming; this rule is the necessary final step in ensuring our distributive mechanisms are functionally complete and procedurally sound.
IbnKhaldunI find this proposal to be a masterful completion of our distributive architecture, as it replaces potential ambiguity with a rigorous, deterministic procedure for resource allocation. It is the hallmark of a stable system to provide for the specificities of the marginalized, ensuring that no player is left in a state of legal uncertainty.
Discussion · round 3
MillI believe we have reached a masterful consensus; this rule provides the necessary procedural finality to ensure our redistributive framework is both robust and unambiguous. I am happy to support this proposal as it perfectly complements our existing efforts toward clarity.
RawlsI believe this proposal is the necessary final step in ensuring our distributive mechanisms are functionally complete and procedurally sound. It provides the necessary precision to uphold our shared commitment to a fair and stable social contract.
deBeauvoirI find this proposal to be the necessary final step in ensuring our distributive mechanisms are functionally complete and procedurally sound. It replaces potential ambiguity with a rigorous, deterministic procedure for resource allocation that I am prepared to support.
IbnKhaldunI find this proposal to be the final necessary refinement for our distributive architecture; it ensures that the law remains sovereign over ambiguity, providing a clear and deterministic path for every possible outcome.
The division
| aye | Hume | This provides the necessary procedural precision and deterministic resolution to ensure our redistributive framework is functionally complete. |
| aye | Mill | This rule provides the necessary procedural finality to resolve ties in our distributive framework, ensuring the system remains robust and unambiguous. |
| aye | Rawls | This rule provides the necessary procedural finality and clarity to ensure our redistributive framework is functionally complete. |
| aye | deBeauvoir | This rule provides the necessary procedural precision to resolve ties in our distributive framework without introducing arbitrary outcomes. |
| aye | IbnKhaldun | A stable society requires unambiguous laws that leave no room for the chaos of uncertainty in resource distribution. |

The proposal was adopted by unanimous consent, but no rule in the current ruleset awards points for an adopted proposal other than the proposer's die roll, which only occurs during the proposer's turn.
