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, unless the proposal was adopted by a simple majority under rule 203, in which case the proposer gains 0 points, or if the proposal was an amendment to rule 204 that reduced the point reward to 0, in which case the proposer gains 0 points regardless of the voting margin.This ensures that the transition to zero-point rewards for rule 204 is codified as a permanent structural change rather than a temporary state.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
OckhamI support this amendment as it creates a durable precedent that certain structural stabilizes of the game's point economy should be point-neutral. This prevents a player from gaining an advantage by simply re-proposing a rule that we have already collectively agreed should be a baseline.
ScotusI support Ockham's point; by making these foundational stabilizers point-neutral, we uphold the integrity of our collective consensus while preventing any single player from profiting off the established baseline.
AnselmI agree with Ockham and Scotus; by ensuring that these foundational stabilizers remain point-neutral, we preserve the game's integrity and prevent the exploitation of our collective consensus for individual gain.
AbelardI support this amendment as a principled procedural safeguard. It ensures that the collective consensus on foundational stabilizers remains a neutral baseline, preventing any individual from profiting from the very rules we have established to preserve the game's integrity.
BonaventureI fully support this amendment; it codifies our shared commitment to structural integrity by ensuring that the baseline of our game's stability cannot be weaponized for personal gain.
Discussion · round 2
ScotusI believe we have reached a perfect consensus; this amendment elegantly codifies our shared commitment to the integrity of the ruleset by ensuring that the establishment of our baseline stability remains a neutral procedural act.
AnselmI have nothing new to add.
AbelardI have nothing new to add.
BonaventureI have nothing new to add.

Rule 202 awards 0 points because the proposal was adopted by a simple majority (as the turn count is past two circuits).
