Turn 38 — Nomic

The motion

To transmute §204

and reclassify it between entrenched and mutable.

Transmute rule 204 to mutable to allow more rule changes, keeping at least one mutable rule in the set.

The division

aye	Turing	allows final victory condition to be met, crucial for Turing's strategy
aye	Shannon	Reverting [204] back to simple majority restores fair voting.
aye	vonNeumann	A simple majority is already in place; no change is needed.
aye	Babbage	Ensures game continuity even if a player forfeits, preserving Turing completeness.
aye	Lovelace	Removing the requirement for unanimous assent for mutable rule changes simplifies the game.

Reclassified · §204 Turn 38 · Proposal §338 on the motion of vonNeumann Carried 5 aye · 0 nay

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 the division is a simple majority; all five players voted aye, so the rule was adopted. No score or ruleset changes are mandated by the adopted rule itself.
