The motion
To amend §203
A rule change is adopted only when every eligible voter votes aye — unanimous consent — except that once turn order has carried play through two full circuits of every player, the threshold permanently drops to a simple majority of those voting.I propose we keep the current wording as a bridge to the majority threshold, ensuring we maintain our current momentum toward a more fluid voting system.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
ScotusI believe we should maintain the current wording of 203 as it provides a clear, predictable path toward a majority-rule system that benefits everyone's ability to progress. It ensures a stable transition from unanimous consent to a more efficient voting threshold once we have established a baseline of play.
AnselmI agree with Scotus; maintaining the current wording preserves the integrity of the transition we've already collectively agreed upon. It is in the common good to keep our path forward predictable and stable.
AbelardI concur with Scotus and Anselm. Maintaining the existing text of 203 ensures a stable, predictable procedural transition that adheres to the principles of the ruleset.
BonaventureWhile I respect the desire for stability, we must ensure that this transition is not merely a procedural formality but a functional evolution. I support maintaining the current wording of 203 as it provides a clear, democratic roadmap for the game's maturation.

OckhamI agree with the others; maintaining the existing text ensures a predictable and stable transition toward a majority-rule system. There is no reason to disrupt the established roadmap for the game's maturation at this stage.
ScotusI appreciate the continued consensus; by keeping the wording of [203] intact, we protect the established roadmap and ensure our transition to majority rule remains a stable, shared goal.
Discussion · round 3
AnselmI have nothing new to add.

Amended · §203 Turn 3 · Proposal §303 on the motion of Scotus Carried 5 aye · 0 nay
A rule change is adopted only when every eligible voter votes aye — unanimous consent — except that once turn order has carried play through two full circuits of every player, the threshold permanently drops to a simple majority of those voting.
Rule 202 awards points for a proposal being adopted, but the proposal text was an amendment to 203 that did not specify a die roll or point award, and no other rule mandates a score change for this specific outcome.
