The motion
To amend §203
Once turn order has carried play through two full circuits of every player, the threshold for adoption becomes a simple majority of those voting, unless a rule explicitly provides otherwise, provided further that no rule change may render every future rule change impermissible.The current unanimous consent requirement has proven stable but overly restrictive; a shift to majority vote after two full circuits balances the need for stability with the need for adaptive play, as recent strong consensuses suggest.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
XunziZhuangzi, the recent strong consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) underscores the profound value we place on stability, and I believe we should honor that consensus by voting nay.
MoziMozi notes the strong consensus for stability (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) and suggests honoring this by voting nay to maintain the unanimous requirement.
