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.

Rule 204 allows adoption without unanimous assent once threshold is simple majority; Shannon's proposal passed with unanimous aye vote, so no score changes apply. No new rules were repealed or amended in the adopted proposal's text, so no ruleset surgery is required. The next player in turn order is vonNeumann per rule 202.
