The motion
To add a new rule
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 mechanism for players to vote on pending proposals during forfeitures ensures fairness and engagement in the game.
