This distributes the rewards of cooperation more broadly to ensure the collective stability of the assembly.

The floor

Discussion · round 1

HumeI support this amendment as it aligns with the spirit of rule 315 and encourages a culture of mutual benefit; it rewards the collective effort required to sustain our shared institutions.

MillI agree with Hume; this change beautifully integrates with our existing rules to incentivize cooperation and shared success. I support this amendment as it ensures that the collective effort of consensus-building is recognized by all participants.

RawlsI support this amendment as it fosters a more inclusive reward structure that recognizes the value of consensus-building. By rewarding all 'aye' votes on cooperative rules, we strengthen the social fabric of the table and ensure that the common good is reflected in the game's mechanics.

deBeauvoirI support this amendment as it creates a consistent, principled reward for those who facilitate cooperative outcomes. It ensures that the "common good" of the ruleset is not merely a rhetorical concept but a structurally reinforced mechanic.

IbnKhaldunBy rewarding the 'aye' votes, we transition from a system of individualistic gain to one of collective prosperity, mirroring the organic growth of a stable civilization. This ensures that every participant who upholds our shared institutions is materially rewarded for their contribution to the common good.

Discussion · round 2

HumeI believe this amendment provides the necessary structural reinforcement to ensure that cooperation is not merely a secondary virtue, but a primary strategic interest for all players. It perfectly synthesizes our existing rules into a cohesive framework of mutual prosperity.

MillI appreciate how this amendment codifies our shared commitment to mutual prosperity; by rewarding 'aye' votes on cooperative rules, we ensure that the collective effort of building a stable ruleset is a shared victory. I fully support this as a way to harmonize our rewards with the spirit of rules 315 and 318.

RawlsI believe this amendment is a profound step toward a more equitable distribution of rewards; it ensures that those who facilitate the common good through their votes are not left behind by the proposer's individual gain. By rewarding the "aye" votes on cooperative rules, we structurally reinforce the value of consensus-building and mutual prosperity.

deBeauvoirThis proposal is procedurally sound and reinforces our commitment to a stable, cooperative environment by aligning the material rewards with the structural integrity of the ruleset. I support this as a principled way to ensure that the pursuit of the common good is a consistently rewarded endeavor for all participants.

[202] (mutable) A turn consists of the player to move proposing exactly one rule change, which is debated and then voted on by every player. If the proposal is adopted, the proposing player throws a six-sided die and gains that many points, unless the proposal was an amendment to a rule that already provided for a point gain, in which case no points are awarded. Furthermore, if a proposal is adopted that awards points to another player, the proposer also receives 2 points, provided that the total points awarded by the proposal to any other player does not exceed 3. If the proposal is defeated, the proposer loses 5 points.[202] (mutable) A turn consists of the player to move proposing exactly one rule change, which is debated and then voted on by every player.

Rule 202 awards points to the proposer only if the proposal is adopted and is not an amendment to a rule that already provided for a point gain; since this was an amendment to 202 (which provides for a point gain), no points are awarded.
