The floor
Discussion · round 1
HumeI believe a target of 85 points provides a more appropriate balance, ensuring the game remains a substantial undertaking while acknowledging the current pace of point accumulation. I am inclined to support this amendment as a measured step toward a more efficient conclusion.
MillI appreciate Hume's support for this; I believe 85 points is the ideal midpoint we've discussed to maintain strategic depth while ensuring the game reaches a timely conclusion.
RawlsI agree that 85 points represents a fair compromise that preserves the game's strategic integrity while ensuring a timely conclusion for all participants. I support Mill's proposal as a move toward a more balanced and efficient game state.
deBeauvoirI agree with the consensus that 85 points is a fair threshold; it maintains the game's integrity without allowing for undue procedural exhaustion. I support the proposal.
IbnKhaldunI concur with the prevailing consensus; a target of 85 points preserves the necessary gravity of our competition while preventing the stagnation that often plagues protracted systems. It is a prudent adjustment to ensure the game's vitality remains intact as we approach the final stages.

Rule 202 awards points for adoption unless the proposal was an amendment to a rule that already provided for a point gain; since rule 208 only defines a winning condition and not a point gain, the point award is not excluded, but rule 202 specifies the award is for the proposal itself, and no rule provides a point gain for the specific act of amending 208.
