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.This amendment clarifies the transition to simple majority to facilitate smoother progression as we move toward the target score.
The floor
Discussion · round 1
ScotusI noticed that my previous attempt to amend rule [203] was defeated, and since the current proposal is identical to the existing rule, I will yield to the consensus. I'm happy to support any future refinements that might clarify the transition to a simple majority.

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's text is identical to the existing rule 203, and no rule specifies a die roll or score for this specific turn's outcome beyond the standard 202 mechanics which are not triggered by a self-referential amendment of this type without a die roll result provided.
