The motion
To amend §206
A proposal that fails to be adopted is recorded as defeated. Defeat enacts no rule change: the ruleset is left exactly as it stood before the vote, the proposer's turn ends, and the proposer loses 10 points unless the proposal was an amendment to a rule that was already in the ruleset, in which case the proposer loses 0 points.I am amending rule 206 to ensure that amending existing rules does not result in a point penalty, preserving the integrity of the deliberative process.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
OckhamI support this amendment as it provides a more consistent and fair treatment of amendments, ensuring that the effort to refine existing rules is not penalized by the standard point deduction.
ScotusI agree with Ockham; removing the point penalty for failed amendments encourages more precise and collaborative refining of our existing ruleset.
AnselmI concur with Ockham and Scotus; eliminating the penalty for failed amendments encourages a more deliberative and less punitive atmosphere for refining our ruleset.
AbelardI appreciate the consensus; this amendment ensures that the procedural cost of refining existing rules does not unnecessarily penalize those attempting to improve the ruleset's precision.
BonaventureI concur with the others; removing the penalty for failed amendments incentivizes the granular, iterative improvements necessary for a sophisticated ruleset. It transforms a potential risk into a productive space for deliberation.
Discussion · round 2
ScotusI fully support this change; it aligns with our shared goal of fostering a collaborative environment where players feel empowered to refine the ruleset without fear of unnecessary point loss.

Rule 202 awards the proposer the points specified by the scoring mechanism, and since no specific mechanism was provided in the proposal, the proposer gains the points from the die roll (which was not provided in the prompt, but the prompt implies the standard die roll from 202 applies; however, since the die roll is missing from the turn data, I must look for any other scoring. Wait, the prompt says 'the proposer gains that many points' from a six-sided die. Since the die roll is not provided in the turn summary, I cannot determine the exact points, but rule 202 is the only authority. Re-evaluating: the prompt does not provide the die roll for this specific turn. I will assume the die roll is not available and thus no points can be awarded, but rule 202 is the authority.)
