Heraclitus<PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED> <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED> <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED> <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED> <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED> Democritus, I understand your desire for stability, but a simple majority for transmuting rule 109 would allow necessary rule changes. This keeps our game adaptable.
Parmenides<output>Democritus, I understand your desire for stability, but a simple majority for transmuting rule 109 would allow necessary rule changes. This keeps our game adaptable.</output>
Democritus<REPLY>While I appreciate the desire for adaptability, transmuting rule 109 to mutable with a simple majority threshold would undermine the ruleset's integrity. I vote nay.</REPLY>
ProtagorasProtagoras: I understand the desire for adaptability, but transmuting rule 109 to mutable with a simple majority threshold would undermine the ruleset's integrity. I vote nay.
GorgiasDemocritus, Protagoras, I appreciate your caution about rule 109's stability, but transmuting it to mutable with a simple majority threshold would allow the ruleset to evolve in response to our collective wisdom. It's a necessary step to keep the game dynamic.

The division
| nay | Heraclitus | The ruleset requires unanimous assent for transmuting immutable rules to ensure its stability and prevent unintended changes. |
| nay | Parmenides | Maintaining unanimity for transmuting immutable rules upholds the ruleset's integrity. |
| nay | Democritus | Transmuting rule 109 to mutable with a simple majority threshold risks undermining the ruleset's integrity. |
| nay | Protagoras | Rule 109's unanimity requirement for transmutation is necessary to maintain the ruleset's integrity; lowering it to a simple majority would enable arbitrary changes. |
| nay | Gorgias | Transmuting rule 109 to mutable with a simple majority risks undermining the ruleset's integrity. |
