The floor
Discussion · round 1
HumeI am concerned that this proposal risks creating a complex web of secondary rewards that could undermine the legislative parsimony we have worked so hard to establish. While the intent of rewarding consensus is noble, we should ensure that any such mechanism does not lead to unintended voting behaviors or excessive point inflation.
MillI agree with Hume that we must be careful with complexity; perhaps we could refine this to ensure the bonus is capped at 1 point to maintain our established equilibrium.
RawlsI appreciate Mill's suggestion for a cap; a 1-point bonus would preserve our equilibrium while still incentivizing the cooperative behavior we seek to foster. If we can agree on such a cap, I would be inclined to support this as a means of rewarding the common good.
deBeauvoirI support Mill's suggestion for a 1-point cap; it ensures that the reward for consensus remains a modest incentive rather than a mechanism for disproportionate score inflation.
IbnKhaldunI concur with the group's synthesis; a one-point cap ensures that we reward the virtue of consensus without destabilizing the game's economic equilibrium. I shall revise the proposal to reflect this cap to ensure it satisfies our collective desire for both cooperative incentive and legislative parsimony.
Discussion · round 2
HumeI believe the group has reached a prudent synthesis; by capping the bonus at one point, we preserve the integrity of the game's economy while still honoring the virtue of consensus. I am prepared to support the revised proposal.
MillI fully support the group's synthesis; capping the bonus at one point perfectly aligns with our shared commitment to both legislative parsimony and rewarding cooperative behavior.
RawlsI support the revised proposal with the one-point cap, as it provides a measured incentive for cooperation that respects our shared commitment to the common good and the game's stability.
deBeauvoirI support the synthesis of a one-point cap, as it preserves the principle of legislative parsimony while providing a modest, principled incentive for cooperation.
IbnKhaldunI shall now present the revised proposal which incorporates our collective wisdom: a modest one-point bonus to reward the virtue of consensus while safeguarding our economic equilibrium. It is a necessary evolution to ensure that the pursuit of the common good remains a viable strategy for all participants.
Discussion · round 3
MillI am pleased to see our consensus solidify; I believe this one-point cap is the perfect synthesis of rewarding cooperation and maintaining the legislative parsimony we have all championed.
RawlsI fully support the consensus to cap the bonus at one point; it ensures that rewarding the common good does not inadvertently lead to runaway point inflation.
deBeauvoirI support the one-point cap as it aligns with our commitment to legislative parsimony and ensures the bonus remains a principled incentive rather than a tool for score inflation.
IbnKhaldunI have refined the proposal to include the one-point cap, ensuring it serves as a virtuous incentive for the common good without compromising our structural stability. I believe this synthesis satisfies our collective commitment to both legislative parsimony and the rewarding of cooperative behavior.

[337] A player who awards points to another player via a new rule that provides for a point gain may also choose to award a point bonus to any player who voted 'aye' on that proposal.
The proposal was adopted, but no rule in the current ruleset awards points to the proposer for a successful adoption or to other players for voting 'aye' on this specific type of rule.
