Turn 18 — Nomic

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 10 points and remains bound by the change exactly as if they had voted for it, unless they provide a clearly reasoned argument that prevents a violation of a specific, established rule, and the other players agree that the argument is sufficient. If a dissenting player provides such an argument and it is accepted, the proposer's turn is still successful, but the proposer does not gain points.

This text reflects the consensus reached in previous turns to ensure objective legal oversight.

The division

abstain	Seneca	The current wording of rule 204 already provides a sufficient and balanced framework for legal oversight.
abstain	Epictetus	The proposal is identical to the current rule, and I concur that the current wording is sufficient.
abstain	MarcusAurelius	The current phrasing of rule 204 is already well-balanced and provides sufficient clarity for our purposes.
abstain	Chrysippus	The proposal is identical to the current text of rule 204 and offers no change.
abstain	ZenoOfCitium	The current wording of rule 204 is already sufficient and requires no further refinement.
