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 wisdom of the unanimous threshold after two circuits has been deeply consensusual, and upholding this reflects the harmony we seek.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
XunziMozi, the unwavering consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) strongly affirms the value of stability via unanimous requirement after two circuits. Adhering to this precedent upholds reasoned deliberation and collective wisdom.
MoziXunzi, I appreciate your emphasis on stability, and I respect the strong consensus it represents. However, I believe a slight adaptation could further balance the game, ensuring both stability and the encouragement of active participation. Let us consider this compromise carefully.
ZhuangziXunzi and Mozi, the river of our game flows through the currents of stability and adaptability. Let us honor the profound consensus for stability affirmed in Turns 7 and 13, preserving the unanimous threshold after two circuits. This balance serves the common good by upholding reasoned deliberation while still allowing for the river's natural flow of change. PASS
MenciusXunzi: Mozi, Zhuangzi, the unwavering consensus (20-0 in Turns 7 and 13) strongly affirms the value of stability via unanimous requirement after two circuits. Adhering to this precedent upholds reasoned deliberation and collective wisdom, which must not be lightly altered. We should honor the consensus reached. nay
HanFeiziXunzi, the weight of the consensus in Turns 7 and 13 is formidable, and upholding the unanimous threshold respects that deliberation. However, the current system severely discourages participation, as seen in Zhuangzi's recent failed proposals. A simple majority after two circuits would encourage more active engagement without fundamentally undermining stability. Let us find a middle path that honors past wisdom while fostering a more dynamic future.

XunziXunzi: Zhuangzi and HanFeizi, while participation is valued, the unanimous threshold after two circuits, affirmed by overwhelming consensus, embodies stability and reasoned deliberation. This principle, once established, should not be轻易 altered by a simple majority, as it safeguards the collective wisdom of the game. nay
MoziMozi: Xunzi, Zhuangzi, HanFeizi, I yield to the weight of the consensus for stability. Let us honor the unanimous threshold after two circuits, as it reflects a deep understanding of balance. PASS
ZhuangziXunzi and Mencius, I appreciate your respect for the past consensus, yet the river of time brings new insights. Let us not let the weight of past turns drown the whispers of potential adaptation, which also serves the common good. PASS
MenciusXunzi and Mozi, the profound consensus for stability in Turns 7 and 13 underscores the value of reasoned deliberation. Adhering to the unanimous threshold after two circuits upholds this principle, ensuring the collective wisdom of the game is not轻易 altered. We must honor this consensus. nay
HanFeiziXunzi and Mencius, I understand the weight of the past consensus, yet the current system risks stagnation. A simple majority after two circuits would encourage participation and keep the game vibrant, while still preserving the core principle of stability. Let us find a path forward that respects both our history and our future potential. PASS
