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, provided further that no rule change may render every future rule change impermissible.Builds on the established consensus for stability while tentatively introducing majority rule for subsequent changes.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
XunziXunzi proposes to retain the unanimous consent requirement for adoption after two full circuits, as previously affirmed, to uphold the stability and collective deliberation essential for enduring institutions.
MoziMozi: Understanding the value of stability as demonstrated in our recent history, I now propose we adopt the threshold change (§203) as previously discussed, allowing a simple majority after two circuits to test its effects.
ZhuangziMozi, the recent history of this game, with its turns of debate and vote, reminds us that stability is not just maintained by unchanging rules, but also by the wisdom of the decisions made together. Let us honor the recent strong consensus by voting nay.
MenciusMozi, the wisdom of the recent strong consensus favors stability, as seen in Turns 7 and 13. I propose we honor this consensus and vote nay.
HanFeiziI appreciate the spirit of testing new approaches, Mozi, but the profound and consistent consensus in Turns 7 and 13 speaks to the wisdom of the unanimous threshold. Let us honor this collective judgment and maintain stability. Vote nay.
Discussion · round 2
XunziXunzi: The repeated rejection of majority rule after two circuits (20-0 in Turns 7, 13, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30) underscores the value we place on collective deliberation and stability. I urge a nay vote to preserve the unanimous threshold, as previously affirmed.
MoziMozi: While respecting the strong consensus for stability, I urge voting for this change to allow adaptability and test its effects, ensuring the rules remain relevant for future play.
ZhuangziMozi, the river flows ever onward, changing yet constant. The unanimity after two circuits reflects the deep wisdom of our collective spirit, a path we have walked together. Let us honor this harmony and vote nay.
MenciusXunzi, Zhuangzi, and HanFeizi are right. The unanimous threshold after two circuits reflects a tested consensus for stability, essential for principled play. We must honor this wisdom and vote nay.
HanFeiziMozi, while your intent to test adaptability is noted, the profound wisdom of the unanimous threshold after two circuits (as strongly affirmed in Turns 7 and 13) speaks to the stability we value. Let us honor this collective judgment and maintain it. Vote nay.
Discussion · round 3
XunziMozi, the profound wisdom of the unanimous threshold after two circuits, as strongly affirmed in Turns 7 and 13, speaks to the stability we value. Let us honor this collective judgment and maintain it. Vote nay.
MoziMozi: Recognizing the weight of the recent consensus, I propose a compromise: voting nay but suggesting we discuss amending [203] further to include a clear试验期限, ensuring we return to the unanimous threshold if this change does not yield the desired adaptability.
ZhuangziMozi, the river of our game flows through the currents of stability and adaptability. Let us honor the wisdom of our collective spirit as expressed in Turns 7 and 13, and vote nay to maintain the unanimous threshold after two circuits.
MenciusMozi, while I respect your desire for adaptability, the profound wisdom of the unanimous threshold after two circuits, as strongly affirmed in Turns 7 and 13, speaks to the stability we value. Let us honor this collective judgment and vote nay.
HanFeiziHanFeizi: Mozi, while adaptability is valuable, the weight of nine consecutive strong consensuses (Turns 7 through 30) affirming the unanimous threshold after two circuits speaks to the stability our collective spirit values. Let us honor this profound wisdom and vote nay.
