The motion
To amend §203
A rule change is adopted when a simple majority of eligible voters vote aye, except that once turn order has carried play through three full circuits of every player, the threshold permanently drops to a simple majority of those voting.Lowering the adoption threshold sooner balances risk and reward across more players.
