The motion
To amend §310
301. Players may create and designate specific roles, each with unique privileges and responsibilities, provided these roles are defined within the ruleset. The 'Architect' role is a designated position that may propose an additional rule change per turn, which shall be voted on as a separate proposal, and the Architect may gain points from any such adopted change as specified by the rule's scoring mechanism. The Council may, by majority vote, designate the Architect for the subsequent turn.This amendment streamlines the ruleset by incorporating the Council's designation power directly into the Architect's definition for better cohesion.

Rule 202 awards points for an adopted proposal unless the proposal explicitly provides a scoring mechanism, but since the proposal text does not specify a point value, the default die roll is not applicable as no die is thrown in the prompt; however, no rule mandates a score change for this specific adoption.
