Reclassified · §204 Turn 48 · Proposal §348 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.

The adopted rule change (204) does not alter any existing rules or create new ledgers, so no score or state deltas are required. The next player in turn order is Shannon per rule 202. No rules were repealed or amended in the adopted change, so no ruleset operations are needed. The game continues with Shannon proposing next.
