The motion
To add §401
A player who voluntarily forfeits the game may immediately cast one vote on any pending proposal, without waiting for their turn. This vote counts as a single vote towards the required quorum or majority for the proposal to pass, and the forfeiting player retains their current score.Introducing a rule for voluntary forfeit allows strategic gameplay and prevents stagnation from players who wish to end the game.
