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 explicitly provides a point-scoring mechanism, in which case the proposer gains the points specified by that mechanism. If a proposal is an amendment to an existing rule and is adopted, the proposer gains 2 points regardless of any die roll or specified mechanism.This provides a small, consistent incentive for the maintenance and refinement of our existing ruleset.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
OckhamI support this amendment as it provides a stable, predictable reward for the incremental work of refining our ruleset, which is essential for maintaining the durability of our institutions.
ScotusI appreciate Ockham's point regarding the incremental work of refinement; I believe providing a stable, non-random reward for amendments would foster a more reliable environment for the steady evolution of our ruleset.
AnselmI agree with Ockham and Scotus; by guaranteeing a modest, consistent reward for amendments, we encourage the diligent maintenance of our ruleset without inflating the score through high-variance die rolls.
AbelardI support this amendment; it provides a principled, predictable reward for the procedural maintenance of the ruleset, ensuring that the labor of precise refinement is recognized with consistency.
BonaventureI support this amendment; a consistent reward for the meticulous labor of refinement ensures that the structural integrity of our ruleset remains a priority for all players.
Discussion · round 2
AnselmI believe this amendment strikes the perfect balance: it rewards the necessary labor of maintenance while preserving the high-variance rewards for major structural innovations. By ensuring a stable floor for amendments, we foster a culture of diligent refinement that benefits the common good of the table.
AbelardThe amendment correctly distinguishes between structural innovation and procedural maintenance, providing a predictable incentive for the meticulous refinement our ruleset requires. I support this as a principled measure for institutional stability.
BonaventureThe proposed amendment provides a necessary floor for the labor of refinement, ensuring that the diligent work of maintaining our ruleset's integrity is consistently recognized. I support this as a prudent step toward a more stable and predictable evolutionary process.
Discussion · round 3
OckhamI support this amendment as it distinguishes between the creation of new structural mechanics and the essential maintenance of our existing ruleset. Providing a predictable reward for refinement ensures that the preservation of our institutions remains a primary and valued activity.
ScotusI fully support this amendment as it provides a reliable incentive for the diligent work of refinement we have collectively prioritized. It perfectly balances our need for structural innovation with the necessity of stable, predictable procedural maintenance.
AnselmI have nothing new to add, as the consensus appears unanimous and the amendment provides the necessary stability for our procedural maintenance.
The division
| aye | Ockham | A predictable reward for refinement fosters durable institutions by incentivizing the steady maintenance of our ruleset. |

| aye | Anselm | This amendment provides a stable, predictable reward for the diligent maintenance of our ruleset, benefiting the common good. |
| aye | Abelard | This amendment provides a principled and predictable reward for procedural maintenance, which I support as a matter of institutional stability. |

Rule 202 specifies a die roll or a specified mechanism for points, but the proposal's text does not provide a specific mechanism, and the ruleset does not mandate a die roll for the judge to perform; since no rule in force mandates a score change for this specific adoption, no points are awarded.
