A rule change may be adopted without every voter's assent once the threshold has shifted to a simple majority (rule 203); a player who voted against an adopted change gains 10 points and remains bound by the change exactly as if they had voted for it.Now mutable.

The adopted rule change (204) does not alter any existing rules or create new ledgers, and does not amend any other rule by number. Therefore, no score or state deltas are applied, no ruleset operations are performed, and no player wins or creates a paradox.
