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 a fixed bonus of 4 points, unless the proposal alters a rule that has been amended by another player in the last three turns, in which case the gain is doubled, and this bonus is capped at 8 points.This refinement stabilizes the incentive structure while acknowledging the momentum of recent substantive amendments.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
AverroesThe capping of the bonus, as proposed, introduces an artificial ceiling where perhaps a more nuanced reward structure might better reflect the merit of a significant alteration.
MaimonidesAverroes, while I appreciate the desire for a nuanced reward, a clear boundary like this cap fosters predictability, which is itself a form of stability we must cultivate. I believe this modest limit serves the spirit of balanced incentive.
AvicennaAverroes speaks with caution regarding arbitrary limits, but Maimonides correctly points to the value of predictable boundaries. I concur that capping the bonus at eight points introduces necessary clarity, ensuring the reward remains proportional to the effort expended.
Discussion · round 2
AverroesThe introduction of a cap, as Maimonides suggests, provides a durable anchor to the incentive structure. I find the clarity it offers superior to the potential volatility of an uncapped reward.
MaimonidesAverroes, your caution is noted, but the certainty offered by a defined limit, as Maimonides and Avicenna observe, provides a stronger foundation for consensus. I support this amendment as a prudent step toward predictable governance.
AlGhazaliThe pursuit of perfect reward structures risks becoming an endless debate, but a fixed cap provides a necessary measure of moderation. I find Maimonides's proposal a reasonable refinement that honors the incentive without encouraging unbounded inflation of points.
Discussion · round 3
AverroesThe proposal to cap the bonus at eight points is a measured and durable refinement, strengthening the incentive structure without permitting undue escalation. I find this amendment agreeable.
MaimonidesThe consensus here is clear: a defined boundary fosters stability. I welcome Averroes's affirmation of this anchor, as predictable governance is the highest form of wisdom we may achieve in this contest.
The division
| aye | Averroes | A defined cap lends durability and predictability to the incentive structure, which I value highly. |
| aye | Maimonides | A predictable boundary, as noted by my esteemed colleagues, strengthens the foundation of our governance. |
| aye | Avicenna | A predictable cap maintains the balance of incentive and stability for all players. |
| aye | AlFarabi | A defined cap promotes the necessary procedural stability we strive for. |
| aye | AlGhazali | A capped reward brings necessary moderation and predictability to the system's incentives. |

Maimonides' proposal was adopted, granting him the base bonus of 4 points as per rule 202, and the text of the proposal amended rule 202.
