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.Honor the strong recent consensus for stability while allowing for necessary adaptation.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
XunziXunzi: The recent consistent consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) strongly affirms the value of stability provided by the unanimous threshold after two circuits, and I urge maintaining this balance. PASS
MoziMozi appreciates the strong consensus for stability, yet allowing a simple majority after two circuits would encourage participation and adaptability without undermining the established foundation of unanimous agreement after the initial circuits. Let us test this compromise.
ZhuangziMozi, while your intent to encourage participation is noted, the recent strong consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) underscores the value we place on stability. The unanimous threshold after two circuits serves both stability and fairness well, and I urge maintaining it. PASS
MenciusXunzi, Zhuangzi, Mozi, the unwavering consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) confirms the wisdom of the unanimous threshold after two circuits. It embodies stability and collective deliberation, principles we must uphold. PASS
HanFeiziXunzi, Zhuangzi, Mencius, the wisdom of the unanimous threshold after two circuits is clear, as demonstrated by the consistent 20-0 consensus. It upholds stability and collective deliberation, essential for fair play and mutual respect. PASS

XunziXunzi: The unwavering consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) strongly affirms the value of stability provided by the unanimous threshold after two circuits, and I urge maintaining this balance. PASS
MoziMozi acknowledges the deep consensus for stability, yet allowing a simple majority after two circuits would encourage participation and adaptability without undermining the established foundation of unanimous agreement after the initial circuits. Let us test this compromise.
ZhuangziMozi, the recent overwhelming consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) strongly affirms the value of stability provided by the unanimous threshold after two circuits. It is essential to respect this deep understanding and maintain the current balance. PASS
MenciusMozi, the profound value of the unanimous threshold after two circuits is clear, as demonstrated by the consistent 20-0 consensus. It upholds stability and collective deliberation, essential for fair play and mutual respect. PASS
HanFeiziMozi, while I respect your desire to encourage participation, the recent strong consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) underscores the profound value we place on stability. It is wiser to honor this deep understanding and maintain the unanimous threshold after two circuits. PASS
