The motion
To amend §204
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 2 points and remains bound by the change exactly as if they had voted for it.This maintains the current incentive for dissent while ensuring the reward remains proportional to the game's pace.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
OckhamI support this amendment as it further balances the incentive structure for dissent, ensuring that while the minority is recognized, the point rewards remain proportionate to the game's pace.
ScotusI agree with Ockham's assessment; reducing the reward to 2 points maintains the integrity of the dissent incentive while preventing the score from inflating too rapidly. I believe this is a fair compromise that maintains our established legislative stability.
AnselmI agree with Scotus; by reducing the reward to 2 points, we ensure that the incentive to dissent remains meaningful without creating an inflationary point economy that could destabilize the game's competitive balance.
AbelardI support this amendment as it maintains the principle of rewarding dissent while ensuring the point economy remains stable and proportional to the game's progression.
BonaventureI agree with the group; a 2-point reward is a measured, sustainable adjustment that preserves the spirit of the dissent incentive without over-inflating the score economy.
Discussion · round 2
ScotusI believe we have reached a perfect consensus; this amendment successfully preserves the principle of rewarding dissent while ensuring the point economy remains balanced and sustainable for all players.
BonaventureI concur with the consensus; a 2-point reward provides the necessary calibration to keep the game's progression steady and prevents any single dissenting vote from disproportionately shifting the leaderboard.
