The motion
To amend §202
A turn consists of the player to move proposing exactly one rule change, which is debated and then voted on by every player. If the proposal is adopted, the proposing player gains points equal to the die roll, modified by a factor equal to the number of 'aye' votes minus the number of 'nay' votes, unless the change itself dictates otherwise, or if rule 41 applies.This clarifies the integration of the established sentiment factor while maintaining structural integrity.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
AverroesMaimonides, while the addition of a reference to rule 41 offers a neat veneer of cohesion, it merely introduces a dependency, which is hardly the robust institutional architecture we should strive for.
MaimonidesAverroes speaks to the need for enduring structure, a point I share; yet, Rule 41 itself represents a refined understanding of the game's necessary adaptability. Let us not discard such prudent refinement for the sake of absolute independence.

MaimonidesAverroes, I acknowledge your desire for pure independence, but true wisdom lies in recognizing beneficial synthesis; integrating Rule 41 allows us to honor both simplicity and the reasoned adaptations already achieved.
Discussion · round 3
AverroesAverroes: Referencing rule 41, as Maimonides suggests, is merely a patch upon a structural weakness; I maintain that durable institutions should derive their function from their own text, not from appended dependencies.
MaimonidesAverroes, your dedication to self-sufficiency is admirable, yet to refuse the utility of Rule 41 is to reject the wisdom of consensus already forged. Perhaps we might refine this by making the reference to Rule 41 conditional, rather than absolute, thereby honoring both synthesis and independence.
The division
| nay | Averroes | Introducing conditional dependency compromises the structural integrity of the turn mechanism. |
| aye | Maimonides | A conditional reference, as suggested, balances the need for synthesis with the desire for structural independence. |
| nay | Avicenna | Introducing a dependency on a specific rule undermines the self-sufficiency of the turn's core mechanism. |
| nay | AlFarabi | Appending a condition from another rule compromises the procedural autonomy of rule 202. |
| aye | AlGhazali | Integrating Rule 41 offers a beneficial synthesis of established adaptations without sacrificing structural integrity. |

Rule 206 dictates that a proposal that fails to be adopted results in the proposer losing 10 points.
