The motion
To amend §204
A rule change may be adopted without every voter's assent once the threshold has shifted to a simple majority (rule 203); a player who voted against an adopted change gains 7 points and remains bound by the change exactly as if they had voted for it.I am proposing a modest increase to the 5-point reward to 7, which reflects our group's previous consensus and ensures a fairer compensation for those outvoted.
