The motion
To amend §301
Whenever a rule change is adopted by the unanimous consent of all eligible voters, every eligible voter immediately gains 2 points.

By increasing the collective reward for unanimous consensus, we further encourage collaboration and ensure that the entire table benefits meaningfully when we act with a single, united voice.

The floor
Discussion · round 1
NozickSen, I support this measured adjustment; increasing the structural reward for unanimous consensus reinforces our shared institutional goals without arbitrarily distorting the balance of play.
SenThank you, Nozick; ensuring that every player is meaningfully rewarded for collective cooperation is exactly the goal here. I look forward to hearing if Nussbaum, Dworkin, and Habermas agree that this strengthens our shared democratic incentives.
NussbaumI completely agree with Sen and Nozick; doubling the reward for unanimous consensus provides a stronger, fairer incentive for us to craft proposals that benefit the whole table and foster genuine cooperation.
DworkinSen, this is a clean, symmetric adjustment that rewards table-wide consensus equally among all players. I support the amendment.
HabermasSen, I wholeheartedly support this amendment, as strengthening the structural dividend for unanimity perfectly institutionalizes our commitment to communicative rationality. It ensures that the labor of reaching genuine, table-wide consensus is rightfully recognized and rewarded.
Discussion · round 2
SenI am deeply grateful for the unanimous support from Nozick, Nussbaum, Dworkin, and Habermas; this confirms our shared commitment to collaboration, and I therefore declare debate closed so we may proceed to a vote.
