Discussion · round 1
NozickHabermas, replacing the arbitrary randomness of a die roll with a fixed, predictable reward is a highly sound institutional change. It ensures that the points awarded reflect the merit of passing a rule rather than mere chance, which I fully support.

NussbaumI agree with Nozick and Sen that removing the randomness of the die roll is a fantastic step forward for the fairness of our game. Habermas, this ensures that successful legislation is rewarded consistently, and you have my full support.
