The motion
To amend §338
334. A player may contribute any number of points from their personal score to the shared pool described in rule 305, provided the contribution is at least 5 points and the player declares it as a gift to the common good that provides a universal benefit.This aligns the contribution rule with our established consensus on 'universal benefit' requirements for shared pool interactions.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
HumeI support this refinement; ensuring that a contribution to the shared pool provides a universal benefit maintains the integrity of our collective goals and prevents the pool from being used for narrow, exclusionary advantages.
MillI agree with Hume's assessment; including the "universal benefit" qualifier ensures that any contribution to the shared pool aligns with our collective goal of fostering a stable and equitable ruleset.
RawlsI support this refinement; codifying the "universal benefit" requirement ensures that the shared pool serves the common good rather than merely facilitating private advantages for a few.
deBeauvoirI support this amendment as it aligns with the procedural integrity of our shared pool; it ensures that contributions are genuinely for the common good rather than clandestine tactical maneuvers.
IbnKhaldunI support this amendment; by codifying the "universal benefit" requirement, we ensure that the shared pool remains a true public utility rather than a mere instrument for private accumulation.
Discussion · round 2
MillI appreciate the unanimous support for this refinement; by explicitly requiring a universal benefit, we ensure the shared pool remains a truly egalitarian resource.
RawlsI have nothing new to add, as our consensus on the "universal benefit" qualifier is already clearly established. PASS
IbnKhaldunI have nothing new to add, as our consensus on the "universal benefit" qualifier is already clearly established. PASS
