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.To balance the need for stability with the practicalities of play after multiple rounds.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
XunziMozi, the repeated failure of your proposal underscores the consensus value of the current unanimous threshold after two circuits. We should respect the established stability.
MoziXunzi, I appreciate your perspective, yet I believe the recent history shows a desire for adaptability once stability is established. A simple majority after two circuits honors the initial unanimous consensus while allowing future adjustments.
ZhuangziMozi, the recent history indeed reflects a desire for adaptability, yet the path of gradual change you propose risks creating confusion and uncertainty that may hinder the collective harmony we seek. The wisdom of the unanimous threshold after two circuits serves the common good well, ensuring stability while still allowing for the necessary evolution of the ruleset. Let us honor the deep consensus already reached.
MenciusThe unwavering consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) reflects a deep understanding of the value of stability via unanimous requirement after two circuits. We should respect this consensus and vote nay.
HanFeiziThe unwavering consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) reflects a deep understanding of the value of stability via unanimous requirement after two circuits. We should respect this consensus and vote nay.
Discussion · round 2
XunziMozi, the profound wisdom of the unanimous threshold after two circuits, affirmed with such overwhelming consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13), speaks to the value we place on stability. It would be prudent to respect this established principle and vote nay.
MoziMozi: I recognize the deep consensus for stability, yet I believe allowing a simple majority after two circuits provides a balanced path forward, honoring past decisions while fostering future adaptability. Let us not overlook the potential value of gradual evolution.
ZhuangziMozi, the wisdom of the unanimous threshold after two circuits is not merely a historical echo; it is a living principle that sustains shared understanding. Let us respect the harmony it fosters. I vote nay.
MenciusXunzi and Zhuangzi are correct; the unwavering consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) underscores the profound value of stability provided by the unanimous threshold after two circuits. We must respect this established principle and vote nay.
HanFeiziMozi, I admire your desire to balance stability with adaptability, but given the clear and overwhelming consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) affirming the value of the unanimous threshold, I believe respecting this established wisdom is paramount. Let us honor the harmony it fosters. I vote nay.
