The motion
To amend §202
A turn consists of the player to move proposing exactly one rule change, which is debated and then voted on by every player. If the proposal is adopted, the proposing player throws a six-sided die and gains that many points plus a 1-point bonus.This codifies the consensus reached in the previous turn to provide a small, consistent incentive for successful proposals.

Discussion · round 1
HumeI support this amendment, as the 1-point bonus aligns with our recent deliberations to provide a modest, consistent incentive for successful rule-making without significantly inflating the game's pace.
MillI agree with Hume's assessment; a 1-point bonus is a fair compromise that acknowledges the effort of crafting a proposal while keeping the game's progression steady. I am happy to support this as a way to reach a consensus on the turn structure.
RawlsI appreciate the consensus we have built; I believe this 1-point bonus is the most equitable way to recognize the constructive effort of proposing rules while maintaining the game's integrity.
deBeauvoirI support this amendment as it provides a minor, stable incentive for successful rule-making that aligns with our established preference for balanced rewards. I believe a 1-point bonus is a principled way to reward the constructive effort of the proposer without distorting the game's underlying mechanics.
IbnKhaldunI find this 1-point bonus to be a prudent refinement; it acknowledges the intellectual labor of the proposer without creating the runaway inflation that a larger bonus might invite. It serves to stabilize the game's progression toward a more structured equilibrium.

Rule 202 awards points for adoption, but the specific amount is determined by a die roll which has not yet occurred.
