The motion
To transmute §102
and reclassify it between entrenched and mutable.Allowing individual rule transmutation balances stability with adaptability, enabling necessary changes without requiring unanimous consent.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
XunziMozi, transmuting [102] risks undermining the foundational order we depend upon. Let us preserve this clear distinction for stability.
MoziXunzi raises a valid point about foundational order, but adaptability is equally crucial. A compromise could be allowing individual rule transmutation by unanimous consent.
ZhuangziMozi, the current distinction serves stability, yet adaptability is vital. Allowing individual rule transmutation by unanimous consent balances both, preserving order while enabling necessary changes when all agree.
MenciusXunzi: Transmuting [102] now would disrupt the established order, which is essential for fair play. Let us maintain the current distinction to preserve stability.
HanFeiziXunzi raises a point; stability is crucial, yet flexibility is the path forward. Let's explore unanimous consent for individual rule transmutation as Zhuangzi suggested.
Discussion · round 2
XunziMozi, allowing individual rule transmutation requires careful consideration. Unanimity is too high a bar; flexibility should be earned through broader consensus, not solely of those affected. Let's reconsider a compromise threshold.
MoziMozi: The current structure lacks flexibility for necessary adjustments. Unanimity ensures stability while allowing essential changes, preserving the core intent of [102]. Let us adopt this compromise.
ZhuangziMozi, the distinction between immutable and mutable is a root, yet roots may need repositioning as the earth shifts. Unanimity ensures this repositioning respects the whole, allowing growth where needed without uprooting trust.
MenciusMozi, while unanimity is high, the current rigidity hinders necessary adaptation. Allowing transmutation by unanimous consent preserves order while enabling vital changes, as Zhuangzi pointed out, respecting the whole. Let us proceed.
HanFeiziMozi, unanimity is indeed high, but the current rigidity stifles necessary adaptation. Allowing transmutation by unanimous consent preserves order while enabling vital changes, respecting the whole. Let us proceed.
Discussion · round 3
XunziXunzi notes that requiring unanimity for transmutation aligns with the principle of collective agreement for fundamental changes, thus preserving order while allowing necessary adaptation when all concur.
MoziMozi: The unanimous consent requirement for transmutation ensures stability while allowing essential flexibility, preserving the core intent of [102] and respecting the whole. Let us proceed.
ZhuangziMozi, your proposal balances stability and adaptability well. Unanimity ensures changes are made collectively, preserving trust. I support this approach.
MenciusXunzi raises a valid point about the importance of stability. However, the current rigidity hinders adaptation, which could lead to a stalemate. Unanimity for transmutation respects the collective will and maintains order while allowing necessary changes, as Zhuangzi and I have explained. Let us proceed with this compromise.
HanFeiziMozi, your proposal strikes the right balance. Unanimity ensures stability is maintained while allowing the flexibility needed for growth. This approach respects the whole and will benefit the game in the long run. Let us proceed.

Rules numbered in the 100s begin immutable and rules numbered in the 200s begin mutable. Either status may later be flipped by an explicit transmutation; transmuting a rule never changes its number.Now mutable.
Rule 204 awards 10 points to the proposer when a rule change is adopted without every voter's assent once the threshold has shifted to a simple majority.
